I have 3 sons and my youngest is 5 almost 6. I started this journey at 240lbs and now after being sleeved 8/24 I now weigh 194...and my 5 yr old son is now able to wrap his arms all the way around my waist when we hug.... Brought such a smile to my face and I held him longer and tighter

I completely forgot about your number 10! That's a dream of mine too and I wouldn't say no to 11 either

Australia

I think I have gone from. 42EE to a 36 Long!

Tired and cranky can be attributed to your body withdrawing off the sugar and processed carbs. Nasty - but you know it's working! Stick with it!

I used Atkins Advantage Pre-op & still using them till I can start eating food again... They aren't high is fat or sugar - they have only a few sugars & 5 carbs I think & 160 calories - I think there's different ones but Advantage ones that my NUT says to use...

Hahaha. My chemist is going to think I have a MASSIVE problem buying a truck load of anusol to tighten up my saggy bits. Lol.

Before and during

Sadly no. I'm just pedantic

I will not correct your "grammer" but your spelling and punctuation could be better. I'd like you to work on that before the next class.

Anything that is grammatically incorrect irks me.....especially if the word ends with an 's' and someone has tried to denote ownership by adding ' 's '
OMG it, like, literally makes me wanna, you know, die.
Oh! It's even worse if it's in a newspaper.

Here's the way I see it - feelings are feelings. Feelings aren't right. Feelings aren't wrong. Feelings just ARE. We can't control how we feel. We CAN control how we choose to act.
If people feel sick watching others eat huge amounts, so be it. If they don't run over to the over-eater and whip their plate away, or death stare them into oblivion, or projectile vomit in disgust - then what does it matter?
I am choosing to listen. Accept. And move on.

Put it out there and be honest with her. When you are alone tell her how much you value her friendship. Tell her you feel uncomfortable when her husband says those things, and that you feel it makes her uncomfortable too. Don't stay quiet. If no-one says anything about it, resentment builds and no-one wins.

Butterthebean - love that woman! She respects you enough that she didn't want to put temptation in front of you

Almost 3 months and 50 pounds gone!!!

In reality no one believe everything in the Bible, Koran or other religious books. They choose the parts that fit their current lifestyle and disregard the rest. If people would just educate themselves about how their religious books came to be and the process of authentication it went through, they would see the lack of creditability it has. To consider that it was written during a period long after it occurred, men tendency to rewrite history to their interpretation and it's full of contradictions. Society use religion for control and behavior guidelines. One day it will be nothing but a great literary book like the Odyssey or other mythical books. But the best selling author will forever be unknown.
Muslims take their Koran more literally than most Christians these days. Back in the Crusades Christians were as bad and barbaric. I believe it has to do with the western world advanced development in science and separation from traditions. Even when individuals from the Middle East or other less developed countries become educated the cling to their old beliefs for a variety of reasons. There is so much more but I think you get my point. People created religion and now we have to deal with the consequences of how individuals and societies interpret it.
