    MoonSiren got a reaction from Ms skinniness in You Can Gain Weight With The Sleeve   
    This is good that you stopped yourself after the 10 lb weight regain. Be proud of yourself for ending the unhealthy foods so soon. One if you kept going down the fatty food road and gained back even more?

    SF popsicles are more like liquids so you can eat as much as you want. I've eaten 4 of them in one sitting before

    MoonSiren got a reaction from pussnboots in Hormone Grehlin Also Responsible For Memory?   
    I haven't had this happen. Other parts of your body secrete Grehlin so you still get it pumped to your brain. The stomach is the largest producer of it, however. You shouldn't put off this life-saving surgery if you are afraid you will lose your keys a little more often.

    MoonSiren got a reaction from mina in Social Eating   
    Yes it is hard watching people eat huge meals when you can only eat a few spoonfuls of food. What I do is request an appetizer or kid's meal and wait until everyone else has their food before I will start eating. I eat very slowly so by the time I am done, most have cleaned their plates! That's great your family is being so supportive and trying to make you feel comfortable about eating so little. I've eaten with people who made me feel strange that I couldn't eat as much as them!

    I am 55 lbs down in 3 months so I'd think 80-100 lbs in 6 months is definately doable.

    This may sound stupid to be excited about but I can now cross my legs when sitting at tables and at my desk at work. My knee brushes the top of the table slightly when crossed. I went to crossing my legs under a table to not being able to cross them AT ALL!! What a great feeling!!! :wub:

    MoonSiren got a reaction from Caradina in Job Interview Next Week. What To Do?!?!   
    I would do what Massindex says. It isn't their business what surgery you had but if they ask, you should minimize the severity of it. You don't want them to think "Oh she is going to be a liability on our insurance premiums!"

    MoonSiren got a reaction from Liliana Arleen in 50 Lb Weight Loss!   
    Wow! I went swimming at the gym the other day and weighed myself in my swimsuit. The scale said 252 but my swimsuit has a heavy skirt on the bottom that covers everything and I have metal rings on the straps. I think this means I'm 250, 50 lbs lighter than when I started the surgery process. I feel so much better and can fit in size 14 tops and size 18 bottoms. I'm a pear shape so my top and bottom were always different sizes. YAY I feel so happy!

    I would have to say doing artwork is my new addiction. Before, I'd get home and sit in front of the TV all day but now I feel more productive. I still need to get in the habit of walking when I get home but I'm always too tired.

    MoonSiren got a reaction from New in 2012 in "cheating" (A Concern)   
    I get urges to cheat but then I dismiss the junk food as carbs and will only make my body burn them instead of the fat. I rather lose the fat than eat useless carbs. Now when I buy something, I make sure it has 20 or less carbs a serving in it or I won't have it in the house. I think I'm doing pretty good! I had a free lunch at Sam's club today of the different samples such as applewood smoked bacon, oranges, melon, and stuffed mushrooms. I was so full for hours afterward.

    You didn't even like the Oikos fruit on the bottom? I think those are soo good. They also have Chobani Champions, a kid- friendly Greek yogurt that is much sweeter.

    I would have one of their yummy omelets with ham and mushrooms..and cheddar. Dang I am so craving it right now.
    Make sure to tell the wait staff that you had surgery so can't eat very much. They should let you order off the kids or seniors menu. You could even share with a sister who is dieting.

    MoonSiren got a reaction from LilMissDiva Irene in Size 1x! Omg!111   
    I went shopping today and could fit in a 1x (is this an 18)? without it being too tight on me. I got a christmas shirt that is red with gems on it and a black /white work shirt. I used to be a 3x in college and a 2x before starting the pre - op diet. I haven't weighed myself since the surgery but I may have dropped 7-10 lbs since. I'm so thrilled!!
