don't take this personal but i had to laugh!! Luv it!! ????

The older i get the more private i become i think maybe its bc I'm not out for others approval, acceptance nor opinions. If i want someones input I'll ask. Its like i was talking to therapist about it ..before this was done its hard enuff emotionally and mentally i didn't want or need to hear others neg input..i don't no if i mentioned this on this tgread or not just thought about it. But to each their own..????

I had the same pain I also had hernia repair. My surgeon and Internists both told me it happens. the nerve ending have been cut an it takes a while to heal. My internists gave me a script for liquid lidocaine..it numbs all the way down, he said be very very careful bc you dont want to let the spoon tip too far in front ..by the time I got it I was able to live with the spasms they had finally eased up. every once in a while if I drink to much to fast it will bother me a lil but I have learned to drink slow. I hope you get some relief soon.. maybe try warm teas ...but yes everyone is differant. some ppl have the spasms an some dont. I was one that my surgeon said was reacting this way. Have you called your surgeon to let him know? get feeling better

I only told 2 ppl (my BFF's) and my hubs. I wasnt about to hear everyones neg comments an trying to talk me out of doing this. I still havnt openly talked about it. I didnt even tell my parents. an they still dont know I am 7 months post an 100 plus pds down! its hard enuff emotionally an mentally relearning a new way of life an I did this for me I didnt need others approval. I might say something eventually but its still kept quiet around here!

When you can get 10 days worth of clothes in a smaller bag an still have room to put more in from shopping!

I forgot to mention... YOUR NOT CHEATING!! it takes bravery an courage to ask for help when God knows I had been on every diet know on the planet! for me hashis , insulin resistance, an 10 other dx it was NOT happening on its own. I was already eating only 400 to 500 cal a day an still the weight wouldnt go any wheres but up! we had to remove stomach hormones to get my body to start working an I was put on armour thyroid an taking my tummy from 40 oz to 4 oz was what I needed. plz dont feel like your cheating its the hardest route an toughest thing to ever do to get your life back! nothing easy about it. first month the hardest emotionally, mentally (fighting an resisting against head hunger) an yes I shed a few tears here an there..first month..after 4 wks it was all good. our brains are addicted to the feel good carbs an they will go in withdrawls! its like stopping smoking. thought I needed to share...keep us posted!

For me the first month was brutal. Mentally and emotionally. I would have outburst of crying spells. I had my bitchy moods. My 3rd wk i said to myself what the hell have i done? I had to have a serious self talk..i wanted FOOD! But i had to remind myself my brain was having major withdrawals i was a self comfort eater..i had to buckle down and get my mind on other things. Cry if you need to. Your body is going through major change. I understand about the depression..I've suffered over 25 yrs of some different forms of this. Hang in there! Hormones are haywire! After my 4th wk it was gone. I felt totally different. I seen by the end of wk 1 after i lost 25 pds i knew i made the right choice for me it worked..so i knew my mind and emotions were screaming..im 8 months out over 100 down..its soo worth it. Hang in there! ☺

Soooooo I had off from work the past week from Christmas through New Year's and go back Monday. I have eaten so bad! I never over eat as I've never been able to or wanted to push that boundary. Nothing really bothers my pouch per say either. I just have been kind of grazing throughout the day which is not good and on unhealthy things such as potato chips and a cookie here and there. I was sleeved back on 01/31/15 and this is my first slip up since then. I do not plan on this becoming a habit or my new way of eating. I never want to go back to how I was before and I guess me coming here and talking about it is just me needing to get my thoughts out and see it in words lol. Well thats that and here is to an even better year than before for everyone. Thanks!

I dont understand the "calling authorities" part over testing positive bc of "adderall" but in your case was cold meds. I would def ask to take blood test especially for a job. Iv taken adderall for ADD an I wasnt addicted it does help. just felt the need to clear that on my end on the use of this particular drug. in fact I was suppose to take 2 daily an I did well to get 1 in daily. I couldnt feel the differance other then brain fog from the autoimmune diseases cause. Im sorry your dealing with the false positive hopefully this can get cleared up quick. if they really wanted to know the truth they could have checked on the drug list to see if your on it..anyone who is subscribed by dr legitimatly their name is on the data base for controlled substances. I know its stressful but the truth always comes out hang in there.. keep us posted ...I hope it works out for ya

seen a "NUT" once..with all the changes I had already done and relearned it was obvious she was behind and in old school mentality. never went back and it wasn't required to go back. what she showed me was standerized for all and still stuck on artificial items..

I only told a few ppl..1 of them was my hubs and 2 bff's. I am 13 months out and my immediate family still don't know and when anyone asks me a "lost weight" question or health related I smile and say "My health is not up for conversation"..I smile and change the subject. there is other things to talk about then my body. some of my family is obsessed with numbers and looks and I stop it before it gets started. It already is a emotional and mental transition I wasn't about to have to deal with the lack of educated comments of others..I hate that you have to hear this...hang in there xx

I dont do the artificial sweetner, SF nor FF stuff. its either organic RAW sugar for us or stevia . an for the snack bars or nature bars of some organically less processed no more then 10gm real sugar per serving here according to my NUT. an I still dont follow mainstream NUTs much. they are still teaching old school diets an we go beyond. the artificial ingrediants in the SF an FF items make you crave it more..messes with insilun so we just avoid it.my first few wks I did keep the SF popcicles around but I swear after having a few of them I was done. made me really really thirsty.

Iv been thru 3 stalls in 7 months...I still have a hard time getting in 64 oz of Water everyday. I do what I can an I do work hard on getting Protein an its my priority. everything else is secondary. hang in there! it will start moving again...it works!

wow..I am having a "compulsive moment" here! I can not believe I read this thread! lol...it was like a car wreck I couldn't take my eyes off! haha...I'm throwing my 2 cents in and I don't care if anyone is looking out for grammer or improper puncuation marks but I just want to mention which I read on another post I have family members who are dyslexic and bc of the stigma (yes I abbreviated a word) went through life and is now in the 70's age to this day never went to get help and when they even mentioned it yrs ago to get help well it didn't happen. to this day they are soo self conscience it has taken a toll . I understand this is a "rant" thread. we all need to rant at times, and I know no one cares what I think but there is other issues to me that are worse off. I am no where near perfect and I will admit I am one that pops in and I have noticed that especially when I intend to write the word "and" it almost never fails "an" gets copied! AND if that bugs someone to no end then I don't know what to say about that other then "get real". lordy lordy...thats my 2 cents..haha..my rants over! OH I almost forgot..I am a txt'r and if I am in a hurry uh yea I do abbr alot! so if it bugs anyone just keep scrolling! bc it's not changing here.. just sayin! now carry on. I'm going to scroll and see if there's any other new comments on this thread.. and 1 more thing for newbie's..glad your here!
