  2. I am sorry for your loss.
  3. Five months out for me and still enjoying the honeymoon. My fills helped a lot.
  4. Good luck to you. We do need to be really ready to make this change. I wish you the best.
  5. Sorry you're in pain. The codeine will constipate you so if you can drink prune juice do it. I hope you're feeling better soon. Walking helped me.
  6. For me, it was six weeks of full liquids after surgery. Then my first fill two days later. I lost a lot of weight but I won't lie, it was basically a liquid diet. I eased into foods that two days, got a fill, and went back on liquids for 48 hours. Not easy, but I lost a lot of weight. Once foods were in my diet, I followed 800-900 calories for a long time per my doctor's instructions. Now I have around 1000. Not sure if I could have eaten more that early. I was pretty compliant. I went to Italy 17 days after my first fill. I watched my intake but didn't deprive myself. Two weeks later I weighed the same as when I left, and resumed weight loss that week. Good luck.
  7. Yes. Your body is reacting to multiple stressors. On top of that, the suicide of a public figure brings up fears in anyone who has battled depression in any form. That includes a lot of us here, me too. Your life is about to change and become so much more than you expected. Feel the feelings. Don't eat them. Follow your team's protocol, get some exercise, and I promise you, in four weeks you will be amazed. God bless.
  8. Great description. Now I want yogurt. Lol
  9. Get right back up and climb on that horse. The view is wonderful.
  10. I did a double take when I read the topic title. o_O Joking aside, I didn't tell anyone at first except for five people. But now, 80 pounds down, I did tell a few folks at work. I didn't want scrutiny or advice or judgment. I was afraid I'd get all that if I said anything early on. But now that I've had a good weight loss, some of that fear left.
  11. I am so confused about sizes that I don't even bother. I will know I am truly a size ten once I fit into a Levi's shirt I wore in college. I kept it, my daughters later wore it, and now they gave it back to me because I'm gonna fit in it by my next birthday. That shirt was from 1979 when a size ten was a size ten. I was five feet six and 155 pounds when I was a size ten. Now I've shrunk to 5 feet 5 inches, so I'll have to be down to 145 probably. I'm glad the shirt is a classic, and you bet your butt I'm gonna wear it till it falls apart.
  12. Been there, done that. For me it was pork chops. Tried them not once, but twice. Won't try them a third time. And now I know at the first sense of feeling that sensation, I need to STOP EATING! What on God's green earth made me think another swallow of food would HELP? LOL. Live and learn.
  13. A rant worth waiting for....
  14. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Please let us know what they do for you.
  15. I just want to wish you the best. All WLS require dedication and commitment to habit changes. You sound like you're ready. Before you know it, your whole life will change for the better ! Let us know what you decide!
  16. I too cried as I read this. I can relate on many levels. God bless you and thank you for inspiring me today. Your honesty and courage are a huge help to me.
  17. I have to laugh because my daughter is always pointing out foods that are bad for me, or bad for the earth, or not cage free, or not organic, or .... And all I think about is, are you kidding me? I spent the last several decades shoving crap in my face every day and night, and now that I've given up bingeing and changed every flipping thing about my eating habits, now, NOW I have to feel guilty that my eggs are not cage free? And her answer of course is YES.
  18. I'm sorry to hear this, but I'm very glad you're feeling better.
  19. This was truly a sad thing to hear. He was such a great talent and made so many people happy.
  20. Great news! Support is crucial. Glad she has you on her side.
  21. Enjoy that big loss! Welcome to Bandland.
