  1. No bs. Just experience with people my entire life, admittedly, small minded, only want to know so they have something to talk about- or make up something- if they actually don't have facts...

    My body, my business , don't care what most people think, happy to share with folks here who genuinely come here for info and support.

    I admittedly like animals more than most people- because animals are genuine. Which does not mean I I don't have close friends, or people who love me, but, sometimes you are damed if you do, damed if you don't .

    Good thread, enjoy hearing both sides, but have to agree with the two post above, one a button down professional work environment , where most things are impersonal, and the other post stating it's a choice each person should make for themselves, based on their truth and circumstance, has need of being respected. We all are doing the best we can, no bs


  2. Hmmm, maybe your tummy is saying " I'm not ready for this, I'm still healing"? When something isn't working, go back to what was, and slowly move forward. Especially after throwing up episodes, it's likely your pouch and banded area has become irritated, and will be all the more sensitive. I hope you feel better soon, a call into your doc may be in order? Feel better my friend!


  3. I remember that! Oh wait- mine still makes those noises. Lol!

    I find for me, it's not hunger, more like pulling the plug in the sink, and hearing everything gurgle on the way down. :)

    Eventually, (some days I think it's never going to stick), I hope to be so in touch with my body, that my mind will just know, it's not true hunger, it's all in my muscle memory- and of course, the gurgle sink! Cheers!


  4. I do feel quite full and satisfied, after sipping on one, I enjoy them, and I get dairy, Protein , fruit, Fiber, Probiotics, all in at the same time. I also eat regular meals, of protein and vegetable . I just wonder why slider smoothie has a bad rap. I don't feel full or satisfied on a Protein Drink, so I get that.

    I have always been a fan of frappe drinks, so if I can get fruits, veggies, etc in one "meal", stay full, and enjoy it too, I think why not? But, I also like to hear others thoughts on healthy suggestions. Never know what "nugget" will inspire!


  5. I eat within the guide of no more than a cup of food. What really happens, is some meals I can eat that full cup, other times, after three bites, I'm done. Some days the high Protein fruit smoothie I make, fills me so well, that I'm not interested in food. And then there are times when something taste so good, I don't want to stop, but the band clearly speaks enough! Who knows if it's right or wrong, it just is... I do try to make sure I remember that Multi Vitamins & my fav flax seed oil!


  6. My husband. Once said, you can't take it back. I don't regret that decision. I t was difficult enough to have the spot light on me once the weight was gone, without having to listen to people make remarks, or watch everything I eat or don't eat. It's no ones business, it really was the beginning of taking myself back, if that makes any sense.

    Hope you find what works best for you!
