PhoenixTheDiva reacted to EarthyGoalie in best protein shakes rtd/ powders ect.....
Definitely Premier Protein shakes. They have plenty of Protein (30grams) and very low carbs (I think about 4grams). I get them at costco, bjs, or Walmart. They don't have a chalky taste, they're pretty thick in texture (like a real milkshake I guess).

PhoenixTheDiva reacted to DonRodolfo in You Should Not Consider Bariatric Surgery if..
Not that Laura's wisdom needs anything added to it but I find this article compliments it well and should be required reading for anyone contemplating WLS:

PhoenixTheDiva reacted to No game in Probably gonna tick some people off.......lol
I have a really good friend here. Long story short she and I really like each other but had different philosophies on the sleeve journey. Mine is a little strict hers was not..
She is past the three year mark and looking to get re-sleeved.
Moral of this story?
Please don't rely on the sleeve to stop you.
Failure or success is still very much in your hands.

PhoenixTheDiva reacted to ScottsGirl in Divorce rate..post op
I understand how you're feeling, but you married him knowing this about him. Right? Perhaps he needs more time and he very well may be astonished AND inspired by your END results.
Divorce should only be an option when there are no other options available. You married him for a reason... love...? He loved you and picked you to marry him and accepted you just the way you were...??? Let me know if I'm wrong. Don't get discouraged, have faith and patience; sometimes men are like children and both of these traits will help you get through the muck! Cheer up, it does get better IN TIME. ACCEPTANCE/FAITH/PATIENCE

PhoenixTheDiva reacted to gmanbat in Grappling with the changes in perception, also known as, Damned if you do/Damned if you don't. :(
I am afraid you are putting yourself into a box. You are trapped by your impossible standards. You want someone who wants you despite your attractive or unattractive body. The problem is this: you cannot get rid of your body without dying and you want someone without human nature.
Humans have eyes that serve them by helping them judge their surroundings. From the time we are born we use our eyes to avoid danger and find things that please us.
Men have sex drives. That drive is a part of who they are. When they look at a woman they are looking through the eyes of a sexual person. The more noble among us put that drive down the list of things that are important and allow love, affection, loyalty, kindness, and responsibility to take precedence.
You could find a man without a sex drive. Would you want such a man? Not if you have a sex drive. Or you could do what many women do, find a man that is a good enough actor who can convince you that their affection for you is purely spiritual and emotional. Such men are often laden with hidden motives.
When I desparage people for being superficial I train my critical gaze upon myself and review the many times that my eyes were mistaken about my judgement of people or rather my brain interpreted the information wrong.
Ask yourself: Do I look at men and not see their bodies? Do I size them up in a way I wouldn't want to be sized up?
I am not saying to quit looking for a guy that isn't a jerk. What I am saying is to allow yourself to be desired but not at the price of allowing your inner self to be overlooked. Find a guy who thinks with the head that sits on his shoulders, not the "other head." You want someone who can love you but allow that they do not have to be eunichs.
Edit: again I put a lot of time into a reply but failed to see where it was posted, in the ladies section. If you want this deleted do so or tell me to. Sorry.
