  1. Kickstart My Heart is one of my faves. Also downloaded Party Rock Anthem, Girl On Fire andBeat It. I also have some Eminem, Sean Kingston, Dropkick Murphy's, Nickelback, Aerosmith, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Buckcherry, Saving Abel, etc.
  2. I allow myself some treats. It's unrealistic to think that you can just cut everything out and succeed. It can happen, but it's rare. I just find better alternatives. Instead of chips, I get Special K cracker chips or Jax and I limit how much I have. Instead of milk chocolate, I either have dark chocolate or sugar free. For ice cream, I sometimes get the Skinny Cow ice cream bars. I also have never dumped so I just have to make sure I make better choices. My bf is awesome, he'll really crack down on me if he finds I'm eating something I shouldn't. It's annoying but honestly I really appreciate it. I call him the food nazi lol
  3. It's still alive and fully functioning. Still creates bile and is reconnected lower on the small intestine where the bile mixes in to break down the food
  4. You didn't lol
  5. Not gonna lie, I'm not even quite sure what dub step is lol
  6. Depends which one you get. I went through their entire nutritional menu with a fine toothed comb and found 2 that are within my 25g limit if I get them with Splenda. Plus it takes a few hours to drink, it's not all at one sitting. And they can put protein in them too.
  7. Hit 50 pounds weight loss since surgery! Total loss so far of 70 pounds. I can't remember the last time I weighed under 350. Probably in middle school lol

  10. They do but I'm not sure it'll work on bypass patients. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor or surgeon about what methods would be best for you. I was told my best options were Norplant, Nuvaring, or Depo. I'm going with the shot.
  11. I rarely go over 800, usually between 600-800
  12. Go to www.laurenshope.com I got one on there. They look like regular bracelets. No one needs to know what it's for unless you tell them.
  13. Yeah we're using them now. We both hate them lol
  14. Me too! But if the shot doesn't work for me it would be my only other option. Definitely not doing an IUD or Norplant.
  15. It's definitely not for everyone but if done right can be enjoyable. Do research first, go slow, and most importantly use a good lube! Oh lord I hope no one I know joins this forum.
  16. My boyfriend and I are avid fans of Athena's. They have great toys, lubes, etc. Also have some nice spa products.
  17. About the NuvaRing.....isn't it awkward to insert? And do you feel anything? Can it slip out or be felt during sex by either person? I'm starting Depo at the end of this month but want to be prepared with a back up plan in case I don't like it.
  18. Ok I'd like to participate for the next round!
  19. That's where I got my first ones to try. The shop I went to today had other flavors that GNC didn't have so I got some more to try out.
  20. I recently got some of the Quest protein bars. I have to say, YUM! Great breakfast replacement. Expensive though. Anyone know where these are available for less than $2.75 per bar?
