Really? I just read this and my mouth is hanging open... I'm not sure what you are looking for as far as "advice" here but your husband spying on you, In my eyes is the least of your problems, in my book. Putting aside all of the dysfunction in this relationship. I'm just a little... Ok a lot freaked out that you say you caught him MAKING DRUGS and you continue to stay there with your 15 month old child??? I don't give a f**k if he "worships you like a goddess" you need to get your child away from a dangerous potentially deadly situation.

Well I'd say if you don't really like them, then don't buy them... They look kinda gross ! Lol
Plus the body is said to only be able to metabolize about 30 grams at once anyway...

What was my moment? Life... Everyday life....

Oh by the way I'm a November girl too (the 13th)
and yes I know it gets harder. I have my struggles too..

Ok brush it off! No use beating up on yourself now. You still have the sleeve.
This is going to be hard trust me. But cut out all the crap cold turkey. Don't starve yourself but fill up on lean Protein and veg only. It's going to take awhile to get over those cravings but once you do. It will be easier to to stick to a clean diet and start losing again.

Ah yes wearing things that fit! A weird feeling when you are used to wearing things that are loose and stretchy (and stretching them out before you put them on )
Oh! By the way, G girl you look great

Well on case you do lose to much. March you skinny wasting away ass into a donut shop and pick up a apple fritter! Problem solved

What the hell kind of people do you work with that they would feel its ok to say ANYTHING about your boobs???

Just call it Cajun blackened ricotta

Lol I went to the grocery store today and was just hit by all of this craziness!
I started looking at packaging for all the buzzwords.
Tell your husband I said thank you for listening to my rant

Mines a secret.... And I'm not telling

This is awesome news!! You know I think it's one of the truest successes of this surgery, to be able to get off the meds. And you did it in record time:)

It's what us "liberals" listen to

Mines a secret.... And I'm not telling

Thanks GG.... Now I'm hungry!

Not good, not good at all.... Please people don't do it, and please stop suggesting for other people to do it.
First, this behavior is the first steps of bulemia and getting into the habit of chewing food and spitting it out can lead to a very serious eating disorder. After WLS we are already dealing with changing the way we relate to food, so we want to instill good habits all along the way and avoid the bad ones as much as possible.
Second, there's a biological reason not to do this too. When you smell food and when it enters your mouth and you begin to chew, the body goes into Prep Mode to receive food. Your salivary glands produce saliva, your pancreas produces insulin, your liver produces gastric acid and your brain begins to calculate how much nutrition you're about to receive from the food you eat so it can keep track of it's daily needs/calories --- the body is a well tuned machine and it knows how to deal with food when it knows it's coming. But then you spit out the food. Your body still has excess saliva, insulin, gastric acid and it can't figure out why it didn't get the nutrition it thought it was going to get so the brain accountants go nuts.
Excess insulin in your body causes your appetite to increase so you'll eat more food to soak up all that extra hormone. Excess gastric acid in the stomach -- now released at the Y of your common channel -- can cause indigestion or heartburn or ulcers. And those brain accountants are now doing some creative math to recalculate the nutritional value of food because it thought it was going to get a certain number of calories, but none came, so next time you try to eat that same food the brain thinks you need twice as much to get the same nutrition as it thought it should have gotten last time.
So not only is the whole "chew and spit" habit a training ground for bulemia, it's also a way to tease your body into thinking it's getting food when it really isn't. Bulemia is a very serious illness and not something you want to play around with.

No thank you....

I must say that I have made I million "mistakes"
On this "journey".
I am flawed and have a problem with food (still)
I just have a hard time people being told that
Chewing and spitting is a viable option.

Thank you guys! It just really concerns me because this last week alone on several different threads people have giving this as a suggested thing to do when you have "cravings".
I feel strongly about putting dangerous information out there for people in the research stage or early stages after surgery.
