Yes I actually go to two support groups they are both very different that is why I go to both. They are very helpful. I was having a rough day and all of you guys were so great to support me right when I needed it. Thank you! As of this morning I am down 20lbs since surgery 08/01/12 and I am excited to keep dropping. I am feeling challenged again to do my best:-)

I am craving things like chips to a snickers bar. I am not stupid enough to try the snickers bar I am scared of anything with sugar. But I did have a few of my sons Pringles. I am trying to be good I didn't go through all this work to fall off the wagon, I think that's why it's such an emotional roller coaster. I didn't think it would be so hard to break up with my food habits. I thank God he gives me strength every day:-)

I am almost 4 weeks post op and starting to have cravings. I am feeling like I want to go back to the bad habits of before. It is scaring me so badly. I want to be healthier and live a better life I want to run and play with my children. I want to feel good about myself but then these cravings come and I fight such an emotional battle inside. I feel on edge at some moments and perfectly happy at others. I have no regrets in having the surgey and am very thankful I have this tool to help in my loss. Please pray for me....

Welcome! I have found this forum to be so help for me. Everyone is so open and honest. You will have good days and bad days. Either way we are all here to help you along the way with the jorney. Good luck hon...

What was your surgery date. I am 3 weeks out today and have also lost 17 pounds. I lost 12 in the first week and feel like things have really slowed down as well. My dietician told me Yesterday thaty body is in starvation mode and holding on to as much as possible but that I am probably still losing in inches. She said over all I am Doing excellent and to keep up the good work. So I encourage you that 17 pounds is good and to keep up the good work :-)

I had asked my surgeon, she said as soon as I felt comfortable to do it. Unless for some reason I didn't want to then she would tell my hubby 6 to 8 weeks lol she is to funny. We did it about 10 days post op and all was fine:-)

My dietician told me to absolutely stay away from Those.....

So far so good. There was only 3 grams of sugar. Watch your fat in take but occasionally is ok. it's so good:-)
