JoannLz got a reaction from Olivia2233 in Sticking to a pre opp diet
For me it was the soda. I gave it up about a mth before preop. I new that was going to be the hardeat for me. I was addicted I never drank Water only soda. I actually went through withdrawal the sweats the mood swings. That was my wAke up call. I always told my family like any addict I can leave it whenever I want. Well no it wasn't easy it was the hardest thing to do. After that it was the drive thrus. Yup I said no more. This cannot control my life. I control my life. I'm 3 mth post op and I am living my life better and healthier than ever. And I don't miss a thing.

JoannLz got a reaction from TwinsMama in Can't sleep
I went through the same thing around that week I told my hubby I feel great I just cannt sleep. Lol I was with my eyes wide awake in bed. I even tried napping during the day and I couldn't. I was to the point where I wanted to ask for sleep aids from my doc. I asked the doc what was going on and she said I might be taling my B12 to late in the day or too much. And yes I was taking double the dose and late in the afternoon. So now I only take it in the mornings and every other day. That help me a lot.

JoannLz reacted to A Monarch's Journey in Help... gained 4 lbs
I am so glad to hear that! I felt like a failure and now I know its just my stubborn body not wanting to give up the "fat". So I will look at this like I am a hostage negotiator and it is just a matter of time before my body relinquishes and gives up to a slimmer ME!:-)

JoannLz got a reaction from HopeFaith in Help... gained 4 lbs
Its normal. U just wait it out. Keep looking forward. It will all come off just the same way. I gained like 12 lbs. Yup it hit me hard. But just like that I lost it. So don't worry so much about it.

JoannLz got a reaction from TwinsMama in Big Question
I told everyone from day one. I have a huge family and I new word was gunna go out fast so I opted to tell yhem personally. And yes I got everything from u cheated and why did u do it I thought u were happy to that was a great choice and u loom awsome.
It wasn't hard for me cause I consider myself strong enough to take anything. I ignore comments of people who don't like what I did. I don't judge them we all have a right to an opinion. I just live my life to the fullest. I'm happy with my choice and now that I'm healthier and happier than ever I don't care what people day anymore. Just keep positive !!

JoannLz reacted to RJ'S/beginning in scared
I am having the same issue..I keep looking at clothes that are way to big for me and expecting them to fit.....My Hubby is the one that shakes his head and says no that won't fit you......I have dropped several sizes and when I look at a blouse I am wearing now I can't believe how small it is...and even though I am wearing it ...every time I go to put it on...I say inside my head that this is way to small...We are so used to the bigger sizes and our brains are still on that track.....enjoy the shopping but don't buy to much as you will be out of those in no time flat!!!!!

JoannLz got a reaction from Ms skinniness in scared
Ok so my hubby asked me out last night and as I was trying clothing on we both realised its time. YUp its time to go buy clothing cause everything falls off or my shirts r too droopy.
The scared part is. I'm scared of going to the store and fiting jeans the same size I'm wearing. Yup super scared of that. Hubby laughed and said obviously u aren't the same size if these r falling off.
But me I'm scared to even try on a smaller size. Has my brain not cought on to my body?

JoannLz got a reaction from MIJourney in may sleevers....a month out...how r u doing?
My surgery was may 7th. Down 47 lbs since my highest. Only 11 more lbs to hit onederland. I've had my ups and downs. But I'm loving the way I look. This is not easy at all but I love that I have the control on food. Not food on me.
