  4. I am tearing up reading all these. Gosh it's so amazing to have so many "family" members going through this- My list- I can't wait to see my bones again- and feel them (my hips are there I know it!!!) Feel pretty again Walk proud and not schlumped over Fit comfortably in a plane seat (if that's possible) Go skydiving/parasailing Let my husband see the fun healthy girl I am inside Run/play/wrestle my boys for a long while and not short spurts.

  6. I have been fantasizing about the day someone tells me I "took the easy way out!" I can even hear my fist hit their jaw- j/k. But seriously this is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I want to think I will be the "bigger" person (but not for real- physically) and give them the its a tool for Weightloss schpiel. Totally depends on how my day is going. I have told about 5 ppl and that's it. I am learning to live w my addiction/ forced compliance of eating right and abandoning my relationship w food. We know we are doing what's right for us and our lives and health! Keep ur heads up! Ignorant ppl are very prevalent in this world!!!

  8. Wow. That's incredible! I am so worried I am going to be a slow loser. How are u doing it so fast? Do u monitor ur Vitamins and Protein like crazy?
  9. I was referred by a friend. He is the best in the area. THE BEST! Do your research it matters!!!!
  10. Not gonna lie. I have squished a couple crackers in my soup. Also I made tuna w dill pickle juice, a little mayo and whipped it in the food p. cracker w it- super yummy and mushy!
  11. Seriously worm!? You are so strong! I would have crackers and noodles. That's why no chx soup for me!

  13. Me too. So sad cause after the anger it's guilt. Just awful feelings
  14. I am so sad here. I still feel fat. I am being a big crybaby and starting fights w my hubs. I feel so alone and I am so scared of failing. I have been taking it easy on the food but am still able to eat a bite of this a bite of that. I walked on the treadmill for 22 min tonight. Super slow. Like 1.7mph. I am dying of pain on my left side. Anyone else experience this. I feel like my hubs doesn't get that this was a serious abdominal surgery. Like I'm milking it. He's the one who encouraged me to do it and now is resenting me bc I can't. CAN'T help w the kiddos. I am just a wreck. Anyone else? Any pick me ups? I'm drowning here
  15. I'm out! Surgery went great yesterday. Pain. It's getting easier. Definitely feeling better. On liquid meds now. Much more manageable. Not hungry. Sip. Sip. Sip. Still feels like a dream! So excited to be a loser and have a success story finally! You guys are so awesome on here sharing. Very helpful and knowledgable Put me at ease and let me know what to expect! Hugs!,
