Made My Goal :) And Venting Frustration...
Congratulations!!! That is such an accomplishment! Moms are moms- surely u understand. If she's anything like mine, she's all for you loosing weight and getting healthy, but loose too much she's like 'u wanna cookie?' but let your body do its thing. Eat healthy, exercise, live to the fullest. If you lose more- then u lose more. If you stay- then your body may be done. If you gain... Ok, well try not to gain.

Hormones On Edge
Veronica- let me tell u, pre-op, was rough for me, couldn't talk to me, couldn't reason with me, I was hungry. My poor husband, I though he'd leave an take the baby... Ok so at least sleep on the couch. My coworkers who had no idea had to not talk to me unless it was work related. I did nt socialize, I did no go anywhere I didn't have to. It was bad. But I'm better than that thank goodness.

Hormones On Edge
Wow, this is worse than being pregnant. I think it's the birth control (I've never ha good luck with it) but I'm depressed, overwhelmed, OVER emotional, I take things to heart and my feelings are HURT over everything. I am on anti-depressants from before my surgery. I just can't seem to get happy...

I Made It My 1St Wk
Girl- let me tell you, mind and mouth and nose are pretty much the same... I want a taco... Mexican in general and I want a McDonald's cheeseburger. But then I stop and think, ok, will this hurt me/ will I regret it? And what would my NUT say. Thats enough toake me stop and think (I'm an impulse eater) and if I think about it, I won't do it. Stay strong!

Not Sure What Is Okay To Post
It's not you, love. It was my work. I work with bariatric patients at a hospital here and a girl who went to one seminar was spreading false info and asked me a question and I answered and she assumed she was still right... It was a misinformation from her that got me and the unwillingness to find for herself or follow mine/the doctors answer. You ask whatever you need to know- you can even pm me of I can help, I will. Don't ever be nervous or feel embarrassed for wanting info to help yourself

Mental Issues
Taking it slow is a hard one for me. I bite- chew to oblivion, wait like two-3 minutes bite again (and yeah, I time it) sounds stupid but I'm getting to where I don't need a timer.
