    I just found out Thursday that my surgery is Nov 5th and my nerves is all over the place. I already been getting my period every 21-23days down for every 28 (which suck as it is) but I woke up this morning and it was here.....I checked my period calendar (yeah they have an app for that) and realized that I'm not even due for the next eight days. So my question is: dis anyone experience an early period due to stress?

    YES!!! Extreme stress always leads to my period starting early. I'm from so cal...and I'm deathly terrified of earthquakes...anytime we would experience one...the extreme fear would always make me start my period

    I'm currently in Options and will "graduate" on January 3rd. My question is' date=' how long after graduating Options did you have surgery?[/quote']

    It depends...it's more appt after you finish options. You have to see the nutritionist, bariatrician and psych. Unfortunately you have no say on how soon you get those appts . But to give you a frame of reference...I finished my options in August and had my surgery in November

    I need someone who knows about kaiser southbay harbor city.. Pcp sent referral last week.. Wondering what happens next. Pcp didn't say anything about options classes because nothing has been working in the past.. Once the referral is sent do I still need options or not?? Confused

    Yes..options is mandatory. It takes a few weeks for the bariatric dept to contact you. Then you'll start the 12 week program. Word of advice. ..at times it may seem the classes are just another hoop to jump thru. ..but the information presented is IMPERATIVE for long term success. The classes really taught me so much and even though I'm almost a year out I STILL refer to my binder of in from kaiser...the surgery changes the anatomy of your stomach...the classes change your mind...and that's where the true battle lies

    I hope and pray I don't get "cyber stoned" for what I'm about to say...I come in here often, but I don't post or respond as often as I used too. Matter of fact ill probably be deleting my account soon. For ME PERSONALLY...I find it hard to subscribe to the whole 5:2, pouch test, cottage cheese test and whatever other methods or "resetting" our sleeves. I'm almost 10 months out...down 140 (my ticker is not updated) and actually at my personal goal. For the past 5-6 months I've been closely following the weightloss journeys of 2 phenomenal women..JEANETTE COLANTONIO and NATASHA COLEMAN on Facebook. These woman both were over 400 lbs and have lost and MAINTAINED over 250 lbs each without surgery. They both have been featured on talkshows, magazines, etc. But here's the thing...they are just like us! Tried and failed countless timed at fad diets, pills, other quack weightloss remedies. They are both wived and mothers with busy hectic lives. They are you...they are me....but they have REGULAR sized stomachs. They had no fancy tricks or secrets yo there weight loss...just clean eating, Portion Control and good ole fashion exercise. So when you start to get discouraged about your sleeve or "stalls"(I hate that word)...check out their facebook pages. I PERSONNALLY am convinced "resetting your sleeve" is not as effective as jusy staying the course being consistent with your eating and exercise. Once health becomes your main focus and not numbers on a scale...this lifestyle will become second nature and the scale WILL MOVE. :-)

    You know what I'm tired of.... Let me tell you! I come on this forum every once in a while to remind myself that I'm apart of this community. I don't come often anymore like i use to. But every time I do' date=' there's a post like this! Someone trying to tell others what to do. This is suppose to be for support, not to criticize what others think or post about what they want support for. At times, I would like to post, but then I think of that person like yourself who will post what you feel rather than support a fellow person in our community. Stalls happen, yes, but we need to be more of a supportive community for those who needng it!! #getagrip[/quote']

    Lord..I give up on this post. If all folks take away from my initial post is negativity...then that's their own interpretation...not what I stated. By telling me to "getagrip"..you're doing the exact same thing you falsely accuse me of doing and exactly the thing that has discouraged you from posting. I'm not telling ANYONE what to do besides NOT PANIC when the scale doesn't move. THE END!

    I'm sure you meant well but it felt alittle hostile. Aggressiveness masked as "help" is not helpful. For me' date=' I was taken a back by it.[/quote']

    Unfortunately I can't control how the "tone" of my post is interpreted by others. No "aggressiveness" was being masked. I'm a pretty straight forward person and I don't hide behind words. I honestly want everyone to get the best results possible from this tool and not feel defeated by the movement of the scale. Sorry for not sugar coating my w ords

    I come from your prospective as a newbie. You describe exactly how I been feeling. And I keep reading to keep inspired. I too came from a failed band much less I have serious health issues' date=' including MS. So I constantly wonder if I did the right thing again. Also, I had serious surgeon errors both times so I have a lot of reason to be doubtful. But reading gives me hope.[/quote']

    I also have MS ;-)

    I don't see it as a race or a quick fix. I see it a being concern. I don't let the scale dictate my life nor my mood. I'm one of those who's post about "stall" and simply looking for advised from people who's gone through it. I'm coming from a failed band and it concerned me when I stop loosing all together. I'm only one month post op so any advised I can get from people who's gone through it already its highly appreciated. Now instead of you wanting to rip out your hair I'd rather you give advise. Furthermore I believe that is what this site is about' date=' to help or get help from others who may or may not be in the same stage as you. Good luck in your weight loss journey.[/quote']

    If you read past the first line of my post you will see that the entire message was to ENCOURAGE those who feel defeated by "stalls". We are not going to lose weight every day...nor should we expect too.

    Couldn't have said it better my self... I agree if some people get annoyed maybe they should just keep scrolling No one should be afraid of posting something on here.. This is sometimes all the support some people have.. I have my husband and few family members which I'm thankful for... I know some people here depend on this forum for support!

    My post was not meant to insult anyonenor make them feel afraid to ask questions. People hit a "stall" and go into hysteria. My post was meant to ENCOURAGE. Im not annoyed by the topic or the people...the FEAR and DISAPPOINTMENT that people experience is sad to read about. I've read soooo many "stall buster" methods...and I wonder why some people go thru such extremes instead of just following their plans. We have to slowly change our thoughts from obtaining a certain number on the scale to just simply optimizing our health by eating right and exercising regularly. FOR ME PERSONALLY (just speaking of myself) my focus haa shifted to clean eating and challenging my body with regular exercise...I NO LONGER care if the scale doesn't move x amount of lbs in x amount of days. If the scale NEVER moves again...what am I going to change? Nothing! I'm eating right and working out so my body is still reaping benifits from my new lifestyle

    I don't know if I'm the only one who gets EXTREMELY annoyed when reading complaints about alleged "stalls". *sigh* sometimes I feel empathy for folks but most times I feel extreme aggravation. Listen folks...we aren't gonna lose weight every day or every week for that matter. If that was the case we would lose 365 lbs in a year! This surgery was not intended to be a "quick fix". I personally don't believe in "stalls". Have I experienced weeks of no loss??? SURE! What did I do to "break my stall"? NOTHING!!! Im 8 month's out and still follow my doctors orders and exercise...REGULARLY. That's it...that's all! When the numbers don't move I don't give into fear...I simply "stay the course". I really get dissappointed when I read about folks being taking on an emotional roller coaster by the scale. If you are eating what you're suppose to be eating and exercising like you're suppose too...YOU WILL LOSE!!!! This is not a race...its a lifelong journey. Our main goal should be to optimize our health and live better lives..not chasing a number on a scale or a size. We have to have the mindsets of those who've lost weight and maintain healthy lifestyles without surgery! I hope I don't sound harsh or judgemental...that's not my intention. I just want to encourage those who are feeling down about the "sta lls" or "slow loss" not to give up! I send my "cyber love" to all of you!

    Nothing is wrong with masterbation. But there is something COMPLETELY wrong when a married woman must do so in secrecy...and there something completely DISTURBING with a married man sitting outside of the bedroom door pleasuring himself while spying on his wife. I'm sure his odd behavior has a lot to do with his Aspergers...but the whole "making synthetic drugs in the kitchen" thing is scary. Like others have said...there are clearly deep issues here. And your first concern should be the welfare of your child
