I am post and used to enjoy all the same stuff but don't eat any of it. I have eaten a piece of baked lays chips and it was okay. You will be fine, and I'm sure if you ate the whole chip you'd be just fine. All the luck tomorrow & stop watching the food network lol makes me head hungry too Surgery 7/25/12

Lol makes me laugh because my first week post op I would have crazy dreams too! But I associated them with going to sleep really late and watching tv. My dreams were scary and crazy and I would wake up remembering them. Surgery 7/25/12

Reading this reminds me PRAYER WORKS! I read the threads about your situation and the pain it caused and the thoughts that your marriage was over. I am happy for you mami and God restored in your husband a new love for you. Surgery 7/25/12

Wow. Reading this made my day! Tearing up I am that fat girl who prays no one is looking at me dripping sweat and breathing hard.... BUT doing my thing like a boss Surgery 7/25/12

You look good girl! You better update us when you reach your goal so we can all cheer with you sooo close!!!!! Surgery 7/25/12

I know its hard to stay focused on the positive part, especially when we know we need it. My aunt is my negative person... I didn't tell her I was having it until I was 2 weeks out by then she had already seen me twice and had made comments about how I looked and I was able to blow it off like I look the same lol. now that she knows she will make the comments about how my arms will look, my butt, my boobs... I tell her I'm fine with my outcome as long as feel healthy. Some people don't want us to be happy and healthy and feel as confident in whatever we wear! keep your chin up and your smile and if you're ready for your body to change them no matter what they say it doesn't change one thing.

Yes! The clearance racks are awesome right now, I even buy them if they 2 even 3 sizes smaller @ $3-7 a pop why not? I found a short black dress at Target Friday for 5 bucks its a size 24 (I was a 28-30) and it fit so good my husband couldn't compliant me enough every time he passed by... He was a high school boy! Lol Surgery 7/25/12

I had diarrhea for the first week and couple days. It's mainly because we are on a liquid diet nothing really there to form a solid bm. My friend who I met in our jouney was 4 days after and she went right back to work right after so our surgeon put her on the next phase diet of soft food so she can go back to work feeling better. Surgery 7/25/12

Misslaw: send you hugs! No one deserves to be spoken to like that. It's hurtful and makes my heart heavy because if someone I loved even called me chunky I can imagine the pain! Understand anger is a cover up for fear.... Even in an argument! I recommend counseling again. Wishing you, your husband, and your healthier life all the luck and uplifting prayers! Surgery 7/25/12

Water! Lol Surgery 7/25/12

As a person who battled my thoughts on wls I can tell you its not easy because if you're like me you are probably convincing yourself you can really do it if you try... I wasn't ready to give up anything in the last 2 years: soda, bread, fast food, Starbucks you name it! But looking back its not forever and I don't even want them right now so I don't feel deprived. I feel better I have energy and I was in so much denial about real weight loss. Good luck and get your thoughts on paper! On paper you can put action to your fears! Surgery 7/25/12
