  1. You only think you miss it. I used to drink a 12 pack of Dr Pepper a day I had a sip of Dr Pepper last year and I spit it out it was disgusting
  2. Like 3 months out lol I never was a rule follower I am 3 years out. I can't do beer. #1 the fuzzy stuff makes me uncomfortable #2 the beer foam is even worse #3 I feel like I ate a meal 5 sips in #4 it takes so long to drink it gets hot #5 shots have less calories and work faster
  3. I am a vegetarian but 2 years ago on Pintrest all my friends were posting paleo diets and I was just like Hehehe I cook meat for my family but my pouch refuses it adamantly !!!
  4. I have tried it all. Fireball scorched my pouch like no other. I get drunk INSTANTLY but I am stone sober within 30 minutes. I prefer to pop pills. Less calories!!
  5. I thought this would be more sexy lol my husband is at work, do tell!!
  6. I sleep on the giant heating pad turned it to 140° at night ... Could be my total and complete lack of Iron though
  7. We have all these storms moving in and I find myself leaning more towards Soups and casseroles which can be very rich and fattening. Since I am a vegetarian (my family is not) and I am a from scratch fanatic (I only buy canned Beans and peas nothing boxed or frozen) I have been making my own recipes. This is today's. It is a white bean and cabbage crockpot Soup with leeks and other goodness Since I will be eating it for a few days I added it to myfitnesspal You could add broth but it would up the sodium I plan on seasoning to taste as I slow cook it over the next 10 hours. I just added Water for now. I add tofu to each bowl for more Proteins. I cut it in chunks and sautatee it. It gets too slimy if you toss it in too soon.
  8. I just got a recipie for a cabbage stew that melts theighs I have a pair of jeans I want to try that on lol
  9. Like 3 days after my surgery my husband is on the couch drinking a Carl's Jr. Milkshake.. I cried. Be sensitive. Go drink that crap in a dark ally lol
  10. I still feel huge in mirrors and pictures. I find all my trouble spots and just want to cry. I think that will be my curse till the end of time. I took a photo of my baby the other day and my hand was in it and I just kept staring at how fat my hands look LOL
  11. Bitches who would not give me a single glance before want to be my bestie and guys want to bang me. Just remember if you got fat tomorrow they would be gone. They are a fad. Stick with the people who loved you when you were a fatty and make friends with people who love you not your body. It feels great to be wanted. Just take care of who you give your precious time to. You need to surround yourself with people who don't want something from you. It's tough to go from invisible to popular. Some people can't handle it.
  12. From orientation to my WLS was a whopping 4 weeks. I had really good insurance Blue Cross PPO via my husbands work and they rushed me through my psych evaluation, Endoscopy and general physical. I was on the table like wait... I change my mind lol I was never even asked to diet or loose weight it was nuts. I had to learn as I went and thankfully at the time was on a great site that helped. Now it is a ghost town and that's how you got stuck with me <3
  13. Super excited.i caught the gardening bug last year and had an amazing little garden. Now we are in a house with a huge yard.my garden will be 20 times bigger. Can't WAIT!!
  14. when Imwas fat I could be walking around with one of those huge acme weights like in cartoons and no one would even look at me. Now guys come out of no where to help. It freaks me out. How was I "invisible" at nearly 400 pounds and now I am a damsel in distress??
  15. 3 years out I can take about 5 bites of anything then I get very uncomfortable
  16. Wow. That's crazy. I have an umbilical hernia but Doctor left it. He said it would likely return with all the hanging skin and with that kind of hernia the apron surgery it practically a shoe in with my insurance. So glad they found out and they are taking charge!!
  17. They are lovely boobs but I want to get to know the real you hehehe
  18. Off topic... Why is your profile photo just your boobs... It's terribly distracting lol Ok on topic. I have to assume your hunger is in your head. I am 3 years out and feel none but I also dump. Everyone is different. I think we all think our pouch is too big or too small at some point. I think they are all the same but our minds are different. At that soon out Water made me full and sick so if I felt I was eating just to eat I would drink water and make myself rethink if I REALLY wanted to eat or not.
  19. I hate it. I can only eat 5 bites of a chicken breast but a whole bag of popcorn. I purposely never buy it because of that.
  20. I have literally done no exercise what so ever. I have either been pregnant or my iron has been so low all I can do is function enough to be a stay at home mom. 2016 is my year of "me" I hope <3
  21. I had the same issue to the point of throwing up blood. My therapist said it was just my "journey" it felt more like I got screwed lol I really thought I had a sticture but it went away around d the 6th month mark.
  22. Another thing. I use to not be able to play with my kids. No slides, no bike rides no fun. But NOW!!!
  23. 6 months for me. 6 months of vomiting. Crying when I smelled good. Binge watching law and order criminal intent. Licking everything just to get a taste of it. Yup. 6 months till I felt "human" again. If it were not for Taco Bell pintos and cheese I may have perished lol and one pinto and cheese took me 3 days to eat!!
  24. Why do people look at me like I am nuts when I say I had the roux en y? Is "general bypass" the correct term or am I on the wrong board?
