indecision

Yep I bet you need to up your intake and make sure you are getting in more water! You will get there! Just keep plugging away at it!

I used Dr. Nick. I was not self pay but I can tell you he and his staff are awesome. I have nothing negative to say!

Wow you look amazing!!!

Moderation just like anything else. I have had drinks since about 6 weeks out and have still been fairly successful.

Ooops.. I had a little candy and some alcohol...

Thing is Laura is correct. You are suppose to eat your Proteins first and you WILL get full quicker. Instead it sounds like you are eating crap. You still have to stick to the program. If you really want it to work for you then I would suggest opening a different browser and searching for a shrink that can truly help you then pick up a phone and make an appointment....Bitching about your poor choices here is not going to help you long term.

You look awesome!! Congrats on your success!!

Jane you look amazing! Congrats to you!

Welcome and congrats on the success!

About 2 months for me. You will get there my friend! All in due time!

You are right in the fact you will likely never eat a full steak again... That being said you are only 10 days out and what you are experiencing is very normal. I am now almost 7 months out and I can tell you it does get better. That full feeling will come with much less pain and discomfort. I get full now but it does not hurt at all. As for your boss/best friend well I question if he truly was your best friend in the first place. A true friend would not judge you in this way in my opinion. Trust me there are plenty of folks you can be friends with that will not be like this!

It will get easier as time passes. I was the same way but now can drink almost like I did before.

Really strange that you are not allowed protein drinks. I am willing to bet your not getting enough protein and such.

Congrats!! You look great!

I just never wash it... LOL

I think that would be like going to an AA meeting and asking if anyone there is an Alcoholic. MOST people get fat by eating which in turn means your addicted. I am sure there is exceptions to the rule however like complications with the surgery itself those numbers are small. Purely my opinion though.

Only you can make the decision. You are doing this or not doing this for yourself. Plain and simple.

So far I have not had any and do not plan to have any.

You are awesome!! Congrats on your success!!

I would say post op for sure. For about the first month.

Its hard that is for sure. I was not so strong. I did really well and cheated during 1 meal. I felt the need to have a food funeral for Chicken Wings and beer.... All other meals during that time I was good.

All Doc's are different on guidelines. Mine was 3 weeks and that is when I had my first egg.

Back to basics seems like a good place to start!

Wow sorry you are going through that. And sorry he doesn't get it. It is good that you are doing what is best for you though because the worst thing you can do is keep living this way and not be happy! Good luck to you!

Wow you look awesome! Congrats to you!
