I am such a food addict. I'm 7 weeks out & it's finally becoming an issue. I'm "hungry" all the time. I know it's just head hunger, but its bothersome. I hope I can combat this. I just don't know how.

Very normal to feel these sorts of things. Unfortunately years ago and even today these things are not dealt with appropriately and I can profess that if it goes left on the wayside ultimately bad habits will come back. You can do this!

I thought it was about sucking in.air and.drinking to.quickky? I do use a straw occasionally when I'm drinking ice tea but I take small sips.

Here is a weird thing i noticed this week. you Ladies out there may not be able to identify with this, but here we go anyway :-)
in the past 30 years i have shaved my face every third day and never had any problems. i chalked it up to my irish heritage and fair skin etc.
i was apparently wrong! the hair must have not been long enough to get through all of the fat layers...lol. i now have to shave every day and decided to grow a full beard ( trimmed neatly) for the winter.
im kinda of psyched about this shaving thing...just sayin
Have a great day.

When was the last time you lost 42 lbs in 3 months? I'd say you are doing well chin up! Keep on trucking!

Just met with my nut official weight in im down 125 lbs since oct 2012 ....today is a good day!

Maybe the "skinny" Bagels will work. My NUT put them on the list of foods to try in my next phase, starting the 25th.

Enough with the bagel talk, both of you!!! Lol

I'm on cloud nine today, 2months post op & down from size 22in women's to size 17in junior girls & from 238lbs to 198lbs today.

Rhyzell,
i add Fiber " citricel/ metimucil" to my shakes or in my crystal lite daily and its helps keep the trains running on time :-)

I feel behind in weight loss as well. But I kinda assumed I would be a slow loser because I ate really healthy and worked out a lot before surgery. I actually lost 100lbs 3 years ago gained back 25 and wasn't able to loose anymore. No matter what I did. I tried trainers and didn't eat fried food or red meat. So I had the surgery. I have lost 35lbs since surgery June 19. I go for my 3 month post op sept 17 and I'm working my but off to get to the 50lb goal. Here's a picture of me around my highest weight and then a couple weeks ago. Over all I am really pleased with the progress. We all wish we could snap our fingers and wake up with the perfect body! Lol but hey that why we are here!

I truly believe you look amazing. I call it "fat chick mentality"... We will always see ourselves as overweight. It's something we need to fix. Years ago I lost a bunch of weight & always saw myself as obese. I was FAR from obese. I'm only 2 months post & 49 lbs down, but this fat chick mentality is something I will have to work on. I wish u the best.

Oh my goodness. .I'm also 7 mos post op and have had this ongoing problem since surgery .its so frustrating...I just took my second dose of Diflucan today and the burn and itch still there I seriously hate it...especially because it stops me from being intimate with the hubby...
