I am wondering why he reacted like he did...is he overweight and jealous? Is he really protective of you? Does he not like heavy people?
Just curious. You know that he will come around. Men just don't seem to have the ability (ir desire, sometimes) to put themselves in someone else's shoes! :-/. But like someone else said...you've got us.

Is there a way to get those tempting, high-calorie foods out of your house? Is that practical for you? Or like spmeone else said...just allow yourself 'a little' ... or punish yourself by exercising more when you over do it. You said it yourself---you've done well for two years...don't cave now, girl!!!

Deborah,
I just joined tonight, as well. Just had my surgery on May 29th. I live in Granbury -- surgeon was Dr. Brad Hart.
I think this is a very scary venture, but just think of the great rewards!!
Can't wait to hear back from you!

Help -- how do you get that awesome "timeline" thing on your posts? I'm so new to this, I have NO IDEA!
oh....I guess they call is a ticker. How do you get the ticker?

I am getting ready to go on mushies in the next couple of days and was told by my doctor that mushies consist of cooked vegetables, applesauce, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, tuna, ripe fruit that nudges easy, eggs, Soups that aren't chunky. One thing I would definantly not do is to start pureeing food. My doctor told me not to even start it because you then think you can eat anything and that is not what this surgery is for, it is to teach you what is good for you and to work on portion size.

Congrats to a healthyR 2012 Partymom !!!

My friend had hers in November and today she posted she's 100lbs lighter! I pray to God I do as well as she did. I look forward to her your results.

Just wanted to introduce myself. My long history at weight loss and gain loss is similar to most everyone here. I was divorced 4 years ago after 20 years of marriage. It was the most painful thing I have ever endured. That loss of a family unit was devastating to me. Although he never came out and said it was my weight I always knew in my heart that it was some of the reason. But still I did not try to do anything about it. I am an RN and it was seeing the illness of my obese patients. In addition the difficulty moving them and the ability for them to move themselves not to mention the odor that made me realize this could be me one day. I don't won't to live the last 20 or 30 years of my life a miserable mess. So here I am. At first I wasn't going to tell a soul. Mostly ashamed that I had to go to such extremes to lose weight. But then I decided I need to be accountable and need the support I knew my family and friends would give me. I am even going to go to a local support group and be active here. All in which I feel will be positive influences on this journey. So look forward to chatting with everyone.

I have heard some say they are hungry and some say they are not I pray I'm one of the "not" I need that little band to work from day one good luck I haven't been under 200 pounds since 2004 WHEN I get there I just might run through the street naked from delirium and joy so when you here about me on the national news you know I made ....LOL

Hi, my name is Deborah. My surgery is scheduled for 6/28 and I am nervous. I live in the North Texas area and my surgery will be done by Dr. Adam Smith.
