    A Story About Head Hunger

    I am almost a year out and active in support groups etc and this is the without a doubt the clearest analysis and in my experience the most accurate description of head hunger I have heard. Thank you. This is significantly helpful to me in my approach to dealing with it.
  3. G2 was a lifesaver for me. It would hydrate me quickly because it has other things that straight water doesn't. Doesn't sound like your not getting too many calories so one g2 a day may make a difference but definitely pay attention to the kidneys. You don't want to get a stone or have other issues.

    PBS Documentary on wls

    It did feel very creepy. One man told his wife point blank he would leave if she went through with if. Another took the money for the surgery and spent it. I guess what was missing for me was that so much of these women's lives centered around their size in a positive way. It was their identity and that of their friends. For me my size was a hindrance to my psyche so I didn't necessarily relate to them.

    I don't remember the porn part but I was so in ah of the whole BBW world. I personally would have preferred the documentary to focus on a different group as the whole BBW undertone played so much into the psyche of these women I felt it missed the larger market of people who chose WLS.

    Yes. Big beautiful women. I had no idea about a lot of it. Some of these women met their husbands through events and stuff organized around BBW. Well no wonder the husbands weren't supportive as they all had fat fetishes

    so I had an opportunity to screen this film at a support group and meet one of the women.....as it was filmed in Austin....personally I didn't find it to be helpful from a WLS perspective....it felt to be more about the BBW subculture than about a group of women struggling with weight and the decision for WLS. I was actually disappointed on the focus and felt very sad for most of the women that were featured - maybe because I could not relate - because so much of their identity was tied to the BBW community - for which I never really knew anything about until this film....it felt exploitive to me. Curious what others thought

    Vets help. I am losing my hair

    I have an appointment to chop my hair off today. I have long hair and have for over 20 years.....I lost a tremendous amount and it is starting to grow back but I am so frustrated I am chopping it off and starting over - it just looks too bad at this point. I took Biotin and tried various things - but it is just too thin for me to keep it long

    Dr. Alvarez vs Dr. Ariel Ortiz

    I have heard stories about complications from both - they may not give you this information because once the patient leaves there is no followup from their perspective. Just do your research - I didn't go to Mexico but the one thing I would want to ask is how many procedures they perform daily....more is not better!

    leak and dr wants to remove my stomach

    Can they remove the spleen and fix the leak? Removing the entire stomach is not what I have heard to be common practice.
