    They probably know *now*, but I'd bet they didn't while they were shooting the scene.

    I got to watch it this morning.
    I am both disappointed and relieved. They hyped it up SO MUCH that I was expecting it to be this giant tumultuous train wreck... and instead, we got that cliffhanger.
    Now - there are clues as to who it was, and I have my theories.
    But for now... they are all Schrodinger's cat. Everyone is both alive and dead until the season premiere in October.

    becomingmandikaye got a reaction from Ruth1ess in Is there a specific clothing store that you were gunning for once you reached your target/goal weight?   
    White House, Black Market has always had clothes that I think are beautiful, but I've never even walked into the store.
    And.. Modcloth. I know they sell plus sizes, but I'm so afraid to try them because the styles don't work with my body type. But when I'm smaller? I will rock every single one of their dresses.

    Everything went fantastic! I'm feeling much much better today although I just can't seem to wake up. So glad yours was a success @@choicemun !
    Also- I did so well on my preop diet and shrank my liver so much, he didn't even have to do a biopsy! He is very pleased with my mobility and efforts thus far so I will for sure be going home today! He told my family that he wished all of his patients were like me. That was comforting to hear.

    I'm so glad to have found this group! I am just beginning this journey and really enjoy all the encouragement! I'm just working on pre-op stuff but won't be able to go through with it until at least late July since I'm self-pay and I'm trying to finish my degree. Very glad to meet you all!!

    I am 8 mos out and I eat everything. popcorn and nuts. I eat Beans, Pasta and bread sparingly. It fills me up too quickly. I've posted before and I've received negative comments about my eating habits. But it works for me. I started at 200 and I now weigh 133...and I don't fluctuate much. I eat many times a day, but 4 or 5 bites. I don't log my food or count anything. Maybe I'm being naive or getting cocky...but I've done that my whole life and I feel free now. I can definitely eat more now. I don't think I've stretched out my stomach. I can eat very little in the morning, but as the day goes on I can eat more. I never drink alcohol, carbonated drinks, or juice. I eat chips, tacos, English muffins and Peanut Butter. Turkey Jerky, nuts, cheese, pizza, Sweets aren't my thing, and if I do eat them, it's a few bites. Don't eat ice cream. I love cheeseburgers (half with one bun). A taquito. Half a piece of chicken and four bites of salad with ranch. A few fries. Sweet potato. No fruit really. I eat what I want when I want...just four or five bites. I would really have to work at it all day and make myself uncomfortable to gain weight. I don't know if this is bad advice, but it works for me. Good luck.

    Well, it would have been smart if I had actually remembered to put my FitBit on this morning! Can't really do a challenge if you don't put it on...

    I'm really excited - but kind of nervous. I meet with the surgeon on April 28th and then I have the psych/nutrition sessions on May 2.
    THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.

    Hi there! I am just over two weeks postop. Recovery is going great. I've been able to tolerate everything that I've consumed (drinks & food). I had a slight complication during surgery (a leak in my small intestine), but he fixed me up in surgery and I haven't had a problem at all. Im getting around really well, too - I just get fatigued quickly. So far, so good! Good luck along your journey, and if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help. xo

    I just found my Fitbit last night, after it went missing since last September! I'm wearing it again, but I'm definitely not in a place to do a challenge (yet). But it's nice to know there are folks here I can do challenges with when I'm ready!
