I went thru this emotional roller coaster crap too.... Im a crier anyway... but ten times worse for about 2 months. My husband and boys just didnt know what to make of it. It is a crazy time for sure!!

Food is such a part of most families. I can remember if my daughter got sad I was like lets go get a chocolate shake... like food always makes things better. I have moments where I am like ... give me something.... thank god I cant eat like I used to with this onery pouch of mine. I have found... as strange as this may seem... that talking a power walk helps. I put my head phones on and just go!!! Gotta find another alternative even tho the temptation is still there!!

Its the hormones being released from the fat. I went thru it for about 8 months. I did see my ob gyn because your iron levels do get low. I had an ablation done. It didn't stop the periods but they are however lighter and more manageable. Hang in there

See ya on the losing side!!!!

awww congrats... it is one of the best feelings in the world!!!!

You look like an angel!!! So proud!!!

If you havent taken them to a doctors appointment with you I would encourage you to do so. Even if you have already been to a seminar, have them go to one with you. It seems people are so uneducated about the procedure and its life long benefits that they are automatically negative. Education is key and the more people you have behind you the better. Consider it your mission to rally the troops.. you can do it.

date of surgery 02-21-12. Date of surgery weight 340 lbs Todays weight 149 lbs Total lost 191 lbs. I am really not trying to lose. Was comfortable in the 150's... but moved this last week and the stress of it had me dropping 5 lbs... ugh... can see the bones in my chest now... not very attractive. Trying to increase my intake Never thought I wouldnt want to lose weight in my whole life

kiwi... I tell everyone too... I have lost 191 freakin pounds.... how the hell do you think I feel.... on top of the damn world. I want to tell everyone how I did it... it has been that life changing. So much so that I almost get weepy when I think how unhappy I was in my old body. I love the new me... I love the tool that was given to me...if I can inspire one person who is walking in the shoes I was walking in then it is a gift I will happily share. For those who dont want to give the details... you are an inspiration in the way you have changed your life .. so much so that they are asking how you did it.

Terry.. I did the same thing... cream of soup and just added powder to it. You have to try and get as much protein as you can right now... your body needs it to heal!!!!

nothing else I can add that hasnt already been said... Just want you to know that I am rooting for you to be the hot wife when you guys go to court. Keep your head up and mouth shut and you will be the classy hot wife!!!!!

pardon me but your excersise specialist sounds like a BI**CH!!!! After all this hard work and now they are going to put you are non compliant???? I would be pissed too. So sorry that you are going thru this and I hope it all works out.

Im right there with you as far as how far out I am but still have not tried juice. Wasnt a big juice fan to begin with. I would try a sip and see how you do.

I'm so boring... have the same thing every morning.. usually cant stomach food first thing so I have a cup of coffee with a scoop of chocolate protein powder.

You are doing so well... very proud of you!!!

Im starting to get a little freaked out. I have been doing really well maintaining my weight at 154-156 for about 3 months. Hitting a stressful time right now and dropped 5 pounds in a week... wth.... I dont want to lose anymore. I cant eliminate the stress... I cant eat... Im afraid I am going to get sick!!!

You answered your own question... by the things you want to be able to do. You will lose friends and relationships change because alot of people cant handle how good you are going to look and feel. It has been a roller coaster ride for me for sure but I wouldnt change a thing. I will tell you that about 3 weeks in... typically we go thru that mourning of the food we cant have... and you will probably go thru the stage of wishing you had not had the surgery then too... all normal. Haha... you are normal!!!! Good luck girlie

Ok.... what have you been doing to get off track? Remember eat protein first... it will fill you up. Start tracking what you put in your mouth... every bite... and move your butt. You got this!!

How exciting!!!!

If what you say is true... we are all failures. All of us have an unhealthy addiction to food and that is why we got to the size we are. Pull up your big girl panties, get back on track and do what you have to do to be able to have this life changing surgery. You got this!!!

I'm moving this weekend which accounts for my loss I think... Really not wanting to lose anymore.. Date of surgery 340 02/21/12 Today 152 down 188 lbs

Date of surgery 02/21/12 weight 340 lbs About 2 weeks ago 154 down 186 lbs

I need to google this because I have no idea what it is....

I think with any stall BBoodle is right... you have to change things up. If you arent logging what you are putting in your mouth you need to. You need to make sure the protein is where it should be and you need to exercise no matter what.... Just having surgery doesnt ensure weight loss... it is a tool. I know a guy that didnt lose... he was putting pizza spaghetti you name it in a blender and not moving his ass. He drank alcohol like crazy and wondered why he wasnt losing. Look at what you are and are not doing. Consult your doctor or nut... they are there to help you!! Good luck

OK... my take on this...love ya girl... but a mothers job is to protect her kids. If any of your kids are being abused then it is your job as the adult to get them out of the situation. No amount of money in the world would have me stay with a man that abuses me or my kids. Now with that being said you are going to do what you are going to do.. but how sad is it that your underage daughter is having to make such a heart wrenching decision. God bless you honey I hope it all works out.
