Thanks everyone! I haven't been emotional until today. I had a good cry and it's time to move forward. I look my beautiful children and loving husband who has been my rock and know the only choice I have is to keep my head up! Luckily, we have savings and we have opposite work schedules. Sharing a car for now is very doable. My world isn't over, it just shook quite a bit. My aunt's cancer was removed and we are optimistic about my uncle. A car is just a car and money is just money. You all are so sweet. Thank you!

Ok maybe writing this down and possibly getting some words of encouragement will help me feel better! Since Christmas, my husband and I have taken quite a few unexpected financial hits. I mean one right after another! I have been so stressed due to having a new baby, work, school, and everything falling apart recently. But I've been managing. My cousin passed away of cancr in december, my uncle was diagnosed with cancer, and then my aunt. To top everything off, my car with only liability insurance was stolen the night before last! Yesterday all I wanted to do was eat! I don't know if I can handle all of this mess! My back is killing me and I have a test in microbiology in 2 hours! My mind is so foggy, I feel like I'm in a bad dream. Thanks for listening.

My husband is 6' 155-160 and wears a 29-30. He's really skinny! Well, his upper body is really buff buthus waist ang legs are skinny. I know this is the man room but I thought it might help.

This is so hilarious!!!! Mine never admits he was asleep eother then goes right back to sleep!

You look amazing!!!!! Congratulations!

I can't see videos but if its your man snoring, I feel your pain. I have to sleep facing away from my husband because he gets real close, mouth wide open, and snores in my face!

Same here especially since I'm far from skinny! I've lost 63 pounds but still have at least 80 to go! I'm also having major body image issues. I still see myself as almost 300 pounds. I feel myself smaller but don't see it. Weird.

I'm 5 months out and haven't even lost 65 pounds yet! Great job! Congrats!

Man, I would have never survived work and the preop diet! Luckily, I was on maternity leave!

Same here! It also depends on the time of day as well for me.

Maybe someone with a lot of adipose tissue naturally has more muscle as well due to carrying around all that weight. I'm just brainstorming here. I know you asked for factual data haha! I agree that oir bodies just do what it wants! There's no definite answer. That's why every nutritionist/doctor has a different theory on weight loss. No two bodies are the same.

I think those with higher bmi have a higher resting metabolic rate. With more extra weight, they burn more calories. Of course this isn't the case with every single person. Our bodies are all different. I had a bmi of 46 but never drank soda or juice,rarely ate out, and tried to eat somewhat healthy but man, I could eat A LOT! I'm a somewhat slow loser now.

I record every Saturday but weigh everday too. Sometimes if it's a big loss I'll record it out of excitement!

I never stopped coloring my hair. If you can find a salon that uses Redken Chromatics hair color, I recommend that. It's ammonia free permanent color that leaves your hair healhier than before you colored it.

I'm just going to live with my stomach butt! I don't think I'll ever be up to having another elective surgery! I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad and 29 is young enough for it to bounce back. ....some .....maybe?

Oh honey, me too!

Is the RNY gastric bypass? I don't know anything about the other wls because I know 2 people who had the sleeve and were very successful. I knew that's what I wanted!

I say have a last supper! As long as it's just one meal!

Maybe this all happened for a reason. It sounds like your husband was scared to death for your safety. Maybe he felt like that was his last resort to keep you safe. If something had happened to you, and he did nothing to prevent it he probably couldn't live with himself. You're doing the right thing by continuing on with the process a different route. Feel blessed you have people who truly care about you and good luck!

They'll be fine once your back and see that you're ok.

Haaaa!

Wow!!!!! You look amazing! Congratulations!

Anybody else constantly have JT's suit and tie in their head?

Let's address negativity with more negativity! That's sure to get rid of it, eh?

I've been getting between 70-90 g of protein and my vitamins and my hair is still falling out like crazy! But its not getting thin so I think it helps hair growth. I bought bosley shampoo and my hair is still falling out but its half the amount! If you can find it, I would try that.
