It's not just Atkins. Your really not that hungry. You won't want to keep eating. The reason we need the sleeve is bc we can't just stay on Atkins or weight watchers and keep losing to goal and then maintain. This is a complete lifestyle change forever. I look at it as it is going to be my lifesaver.
Good luck!

Im on Chantix, this is Day 10 and I'm still having bad withdrawal and it sucks so bad!
I have to stop smoking b4 surgery and I'm starring to worry it just may not be possible. I've only smoked 1/2 cigarette since 9:30 this morning but I want one so bad right now I would kill for it.
Anyway, is their anyone else going through this??

I would have probably shot back and said "Oh is that what happened to you?" She would say "NO". . . then I would say "oh it's just that you knew that a donut goes down easy so I thought you had tried it" . . . .

It sure would bc I am always so damn hot and sweating and I HATE IT!

I don't mind the shots, I'd always rather be safe than sorry! I just had not heard anything about it until reading on here.

So today I picked up my brother Austin(he's 12 this month), we were going to have lunch with my mom. While in the car I was talking to him a out my surgery and how excited I was and he said well I just want you to be ok.
He's worried that something will happen in surgery and I won't come back home. This is such a sensitive subject and I'll tell you why.
Match 14th my brother Brandon who was 24 died in the hospital. He had many medical problems throughout his lide and just couldn't overcome them at this point his body just had too much to deal with. This has been very hard for me as I was his caregiver and I miss him dearly.
Anyway this is why Austin is scared, hell I can't blame him! I would be scared too if my only brother that was living was going in for surgery when my other one had died just 4 months prior.
I feel bad for putting him though this but I hope I can convince him that it's very safe and that I need this surgery badly. But I wonder Since he's feeling like this, is my Mom? I can't imagine that of she is how I will even go through with this now. She has been through so much and I don't want to put anything else on her.
Anyway thanks for listening and It you have any advice I sure would appreciate it!

And thats exactly what I told him was that I will have a longer healthier life if I get the surgery.it still makes me sad that he's worried. He's too young to have worries like that, it's not fair.

DANCING! I'm so ready to be able to have the endurance and no cramps to be able to tear ur up! And the hot guys that dance with you is a huge +++ lol

I have to say that I'm very excited also that my pre-op diet consists of day before surgery Clear liquids only! Thank GOD I have no 2 weeks of liquids because I was really dreading that!
My life is going to change and I don't think I've ever been so excited about anything!!!

Here's a man chiming in...
I see a couple of issues here: 1. He didn't honor your request and betrayed your trust. He's your husband and should be your safe place, your confidante. 2. He stole your future moment of surprise and awe that we all are looking forward to as a benefit of our choice. Suggestion: have a conversation about who he wants to be for you. Is he your ally, forsaking all others, or is just the person you're married to at the moment? Hmmm.

I used to love go go out and dance for hours on the weekends and I was damn good at it! I used to have guys dancing with me all the time!
Well I stopped going because the more weight I gained the more it hurt and the more I would get Charlie horses while dancing and that doesn't feel good in your back! It really makes me sad that I don't go out anymore but 6 months from now I bet I will! Come on July 25th!!!
I can't wait to lose enough to feel comfortable enough to get back out and have fun again!
Who's with me??????
