Shoot pig out but the week before surgery go LOW LOW carb and get that fat off your liver, you dont want any complications.

Ty Irene, I hope to be rocking some size 4s in the future like you do! You have been an inspiration and motivator. Ty for helping me along on my journey!

I had a PE back in 2003 and I went with the copper (no horomones) IUD and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

What you are eating looks good however I wouldn't include popsicles as anything but a treat. Sure they count toward fluids but they do nothing nutritionally for you. I would add in some veggies or fruits as you are bound to get constipated on that diet. Maybe have a hard boiled egg for a snack instead of popsicle or some peices of fruit.

Nah it's the last step in a long long journey you have been on. You've worked hard and you deserve to be happy with your final result. I will totally share my journey when I get on that leg.

Ooo Diva I'm so excited for you! I cannot wait to see before and afters!! I've been looking at plastics for after I lose 20 more lbs.

It's not ketosis it's thrush. Eat some unsweetened yogurt, take probiotics, and get some mouthwash from your Doctor. No biggie.

You aren't eating enough. Up your protien and calories and watch that weight drop faster than a drunk chick at a frat party.

Oh yes, I get treated so differently even by family. I know that they loved me but it's like how anmals and people in general tend to shy away from creatures who are dying and we were. If someone was sad and unhappy and it showed externally, like it does with us fat people, then you would find those people excluded more often. Since our major reason for being live is to reproduce I think a lot of the Men folk have it ingrained in their head to try to lure the women who would give them the best offspring which is not someone who is obese. I am just happy being on the other side and I always make it a point to be extra nice to those struggling with weight issues.

Happened to me all the time around month 6. Do not eat 2 hours before bed. Lay low on fluids an hour before bed. Take your PPI the same time everyday and have tums on hand. I'm 10 months out and it's pretty much stopped.

I wouldn't say you are being a brat however the big holdup seems to be the class you missed. I would call the office and ask if there is another way you can make it up, perhaps meeting 1 on 1 with a nutritionist or tell them you will be on call anytime they have a cancel. Call the day of ever meeting and see if you can nudge your way in. If you want you could call your surgeon's office and just say, "I'm a little perplexed at the speed things are going. If I were to change surgeons at this point would have to start all over?" They might tell you yes just so you won't change but it also might kick their ass into gear. Also call around and ask some other surgeons what would happen if you did switch.

On another note I wouldn't go for fat free, your body needs the fat but the mashpotatoes gotta go and so do icecreams fatfree or not!

I don't eat slow now nor have I ever. I did measure my food carefully when I was first out so I didn't overeat (thougth I still did sometimes and got the slimes). Anyway it's not that big of a deal IMO

Hey girlie! Good to hear from you! I was on pain killers for ankle surgery in 03 and straight got addicted to them as in when I stopped taking them I would go through shakes and sweats and nausea. I stopped taking them but it sure does make you realize a little of what an addict goes through. I gained quite a bit of weight drurring that time too. Keep in touch we miss you!

I don't mind, I'm sure a lot of work goes into maintaining a site. THOUGH I will say having to log in everytime i come to the page is on my last nerve.

Great news Texas T! One of the things I really woudl like is a boob job, mine are so deflated.

You are fine and 12lbs is A LOT of weight.

Walk walk walk and a heating pad is must. Have someone massage you if you can. Mine had pass by about day 3-4.

No, go back to liquids and give your sleeve a rest. Broths or shakes.

Love the dress and you look amazing!!

You look fabulous! Rock those size 4 girl! I'm seriously getting into running after seeing your skinny ass (actually you have a nice ass so skinny self)!

Looking good handsome! /catcall

Shop in the regular women's section. I have been in plus sized since middle school. I cross my legs without thinking about it. I love to have my picture taken. I'm able to live my life without what I'm eating that day (ooo i can have doughnuts in the morning) consuming my thoughts. I don't daydream in the same way. I used to always dream bout being thin, what I would sacrafice if I could have one wish, I don't do that anymore. It's freeing.

Have hubs go with you on your appointments and tell him his support is vital to you even if he doesn't agree. Let him vent worries about you dying and talk about the reality of staying the weight you are. You will die from being very overweight, this is a chance for you to be healthy. I'd also explain to him how obese people have 4x the amount of the hunger horomone and you are basically white knuckling it without some sort of intervention. Furthermore less than 10% of ppl who lose weight keep it off after 5 years (by conventional means). Finally you have to do it for yourself. He is your partner but not you. You have to do it for you.

Unjury makes a great chicken broth. I still have an entire can of it just because I was sick of drinking broth but you can use it to make all kinds of soups.
