I'm glad I'm not the only one. . I have an appt with a behaviorist . It has to end ( my stress eating )

I had my surgery the same day , and yes I've had a glass of wine or two . Honestly, I lost the taste of it . I used to have a glass with dinner every night. ( almost every night) now I only have it on special occasions. It doesn't taste the same for some crazy reason . I did feel warm and fuzzy after the one glass.

Hey guys long time no talk I've been struggling with this whole weight loss crap ! This will be a never ending battle ... Ugghhh... Sannah how are you ???? Have you delivered any stones , pebbles or boulders ? lol .. your in my thoughts I just started working out , I'm starting to really enjoy it . I was sleeved on jan24 and only 23lb weight loss sucky ( Laura how are you ?? I need some of your sense of humor , lately Ive been a butt nugget . Teehee.. I miss getting threads from you ladies . You always make me laugh and put me in a great mood .

Your so pretty you look so happy

I'm sorry about your mom passing . You will do great ! Good luck and keep us posted .

Hi Sannah, I haven't been on too much , life is crazy here ( good crazy ) but I've been thinking about you .Im an Iv therapy nurse so sometimes I just sit in people's homes for hrs and reading through all your pain and stress . How frustrating ! I'm glad your eating and losing now . For every stone you pass you should name them I heard kidney stone pain is worse than child birth. my thoughts are with you . You are one tough lady ! The phrase "stay strong" is proven 10 folds by you. Good luck this week . I'm just thinking about you ttys

May he rest in peace , my thoughts and prayers to his family.

I had this happen to me and it was from dehydration . I did follow up with a cardiologist and a full work up .

You look great!!!

Unfortunately,I have tried these already. This is my poison, the guilt that I had felt was not even worth it. This what made me fat in the first place and I cant believe I tried it again. It went down easily. Im 5 weeks out. I will be putting them out of sight . only reason why I have it in the house is so the kids can take it to school. Its all the baked stuff and I have the air popped popcorn without butter. Its still my poison. Im so mad that this still weakens me and takes over.

I told everyone I had my gallbladder out and my old lap band out with scar tissue. All not a lie. I did get the band removed with the scar tissue. I just didn't give the technical term .lol I feel its too personal to share with everyone.

Good luck:) Yay to you !!! I hope you have a speedy recovery .

I am 5 weeks out and I am freezing all of the time ..

My surgeon said at least 1 yr.. I told him no worries . ( that part of my life is over). ..

Amy , this is the one thing when you look back you will be so happy that you did . I can only speak for myself, I was so nervous and anxious I was going to cancel the surgery everyday for about 2 weeks . I sat down and thought about it . I can't lose the weight on my own so this was my only solution . Once I had this mind frame all my anxiety went away . Yes, it's hard to travel hopefully someone will be with you. There are so many people on this forum that go to Mexico and they seem to be happy . I trusted my DR 100% so that helped. You will not only changing your life for the better , you will be changing your whole family's life ... Good luck

Hi I was sleeved on Jan24 th so I am one month out .. I have had a few minor issues. Nothing big - nausea , stalls and being weak of the mind . I will never complain over something so minor after reading your posts . I truly have nothing to complain about . My son is 12 my girls are 9 and 7 . I am busy with them as well as work . The girls are into softball , gymnastics and cheer leading . My son is into lacrosse and football ( for now, they change their little minds often) . I have to keep them active so they dont have my weight issues. It's cold here( NJ) so its hard to keep these kids occupied in the winter. Im an RN and I work 3-4 times a week . But as moms we manage somehow .( I never said I was sane .... Hehe ) I hope you have a great weekend ! Sincerly, Mary

I just read this thread for the first time .. Sannah, you are by far one of the strongest women I have ever encountered .. WOW!! I hope you get better soon . Your definitely in my thoughts and prayers . Kiidney stones are so painful . But, this is just another hurdle that you will leap over. You've gone through so much . I love the way your daughter brightens your day. I have 3 of my own and they are my life. (as I am yelling at them at this present moment:) ) They definitely get me out of the dumps when I'm down . ( so does Laura-Ven , you are funny) I hope you get better soon . Stay strong I look forward to following your progress ..

Get waxed .. Lol

Hi ladies , I went from the band to the sleeve and I love it:) good luck!

Good for you !!! How does ostrich taste like? Never had it before.

NurseGrace I sooooo feel your grumpiness . I have been at a stall for 11 days now . And I'm only approaching 3 weeks . Very frustrating . I just took 2 laxatives this am ( thank goodness I am off from work today )Even though I don't have pain but intermittent nausea still there . So I guess we are on the norm end of things ... I thought the weight was going to just full right off . I know it's struggle regardless. And the weather here in nj is blah , so that doesn't help. I tried to pull the covers over my head yesterday I wanted the day just to go by. My kids were not taking that for an answer . So luckily, my husband took them sleigh riding , I called my friend and we went to the movies ... I just needed to do something for me . It helped ease the pain when the damn scale didn't move today. Lol it has to move eventually ..

Thank you . I just went on Emily's cupcake website, what great ideas . I think the kids would like it as well . Thanks again for sharing , I'm so excited to try something new:)

I'm still on full liquids ,so I have no concept of how many can you have per serving ? Is one filling ?

What big difference !! You look wonderful , keep up the great work
