The surgery is a great tool to be sure but the mind still is a hard thing to overcome. It clicked with me about the 2nd month... This is a chance of a lifetime to get fit and healthy... make the most of it!!

welcome to the boards... congrats on your wl so far!!!

wow!!! congrats

girls... the best is yet to come!!!

Worm... get out there and do your thing girl... I have worried for so long what other people have thought of me.... This is YOUR time... get out there and ....DANCE!!!!!!!!

I am freezing all the time... even when it was 100 degrees this summer

I do hope you feel better soon. You need your vitamins because you will not get what you need from food. You might want to look into a liquid vitamin but dont just stop ... keep trying til you find one that works.. Hugs your way!!

so good to see you here!!

you are doing really good!!! Hang in there!!!

okay so 7 months out.... experienced the same thing for 6 months. Super heavy... disgusting... last month... 1 day... Im 44 and now wondering if I am starting menopause as I havent had anything... just spotting for one day. It was actually kind of a relief to not have to go thru what I have been going thru for the last 6 months.

other threads have prompted me to clean out all my old too big clothes too. which will leave me with about 2 pairs of capris that somewhat fit and 4 shirts

Dont know if you girls like hot tea but sleepy time is a good one. The body needs rest... I hope you get some soon!!

The mind is such a hard thing to overcome. I still find myself going to the big girl section of the store or looking at 3x shirts to grab and go. It is hard when we have been big for so long. Words have such an impact... or at least on me they have. I was always the fat sister growing up, the fattest mom, the fat ... well you fill in the blank... so it takes time Im sure to erase all that. What I have learned over the last few months is that our bodies change so much faster then our minds can comprehend... I sure hope what bigwaugh is saying is true and that eventually we all see each other for what we have transformed into...

what a great treat for both of you.

depends on what protein powder you are using. Just look on the back at their nutritional value. It should tell you how much protein per scoop

Great job!!

Thanks Odie I really needed to hear that

Glad to have you here. What a wild ride to go on with your spouse. Good luck and ask any questions you need to... we are all here to help

I looked down one day and had crossed my legs and hadnt even realized it. Hadnt been able to in years. Brought tears to my eyes. Stupid I know but made my whole day...hell my whole week!!!

congrats on your weight loss so far as well as the impending birth of your baby!! What an exciting time for you.

awww I wish I could have taped it. I'll see if it re-runs tonight. I saw a picture of Lisa and she looks great

congrats!!! You are in for the ride of your life!!!

Hey girlie, welcome to the boards!!

research research research and patience is key!!!!!

I know what your are saying... I miss 1 or 2 days on the boards and bam tons of new people. Its good tho word is getting out and means more people are transforming their lives. Sounds like you are doing great!!! I still have a hard time eating chicken too... 7 months out. Dipping it in something is the only way.
