I confess that i drink coffee. I confess for some strange reason i crave pepsi and i was not a big soda person before this. i confess that once a month i eat a snack size bag of dorritos and it scares me how easy it hoes down. i confess that four months ago this was the best decision i have ever made and i'm glad I did it. i confess that i did it for my girls so I wouldn't be "the fat mom". I confess that i love the way my husband looks at me. i confess i should drink more water. i confess i should exercise more. i confess that when people tell me i should eat more i freak out these are also the people who told me i was too pretty to be fat. i confess that i don't have kind thoughts to all the haters! i confess i am more honest here then i am with my best friend. I confess that I can finally look in the mirror and somewhat like what I see. I confess I don't hide in the back of photos anymore. I confess that even though I've lost 70lbs and have 60 lbs to go I think I'm awesome and for the first time in a long time I'm proud of me. Thank you all for this forum and letting me be me!

Thank you!!!!

I'm 3 months out and I've caught a wicked stomach bug. Usually ginger ale cures me but we aren't allowed soda. I've tried ginger candies what pregnant ladies use but it's not helping....suggestions greatly appreciated!

I've never heard of Tajin what type of seasoning is it?

Hi! I was sleeved on the 6th and I'm finally getting it together! I am still in the puréed/soft food stage. I eat a lot of tuna or crab salad. Turkey chili. Retried beans. And I love egg faces ricotta recipe tweaked to my tastings. So far I'm down 28lbs stalled this week. I'm having a hard time getting all my water in. I'm just so full. The first week I remember laughing that it took 2 days to finish a sf jello cup. Life of a sleever! This place is great! For motivation, recipes and to have people in your corner.

Hi All, My doc recommended Milk of magnesium but it's not really helping and tastes gross. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!

I'm having such a hard time eating without drinking. I was doing great Pre-op but it's a struggle now. Did this happen to anyone else?

I've been getting mixed signals regarding birth control and the sleeve and I don't know what to do.

Thank you!

That sounds delish! I just ordered the PB2! I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm not sure if this is too personal but I'm trying to find out about birth control. My surgeon said the pill may be ineffective, my primary said there are no studies stating that and at support groups most people are "fixed". I don't want to risk getting pregnant. I really appreciate all your help!!!

Peanut powder? I've never heard of it?

I'm using designer whey vanilla from target.

Hi, I'm new here but I just wanted to post about shakes. I'm 12 days post-op and still drinking my shakes but I got so bored. So today I added a tablespoon of sugar-free pistachio jello pudding mix. It was delish!
