  5. & I'm freaking out. I know for most folks it's temporary and I already have some frizzy baby hairs coming in but holy shit... I started using castor oil so I hope that helps, besides the average biotin what did you all use?

  11. Well the thing is I want to go. I think of it often and I never actually get there. It's like I talk myself out of it which is what I don't understand
  12. Follow me on snap chat: thecupofcakes and Instagram: rebecca_thecupofcakes I'd like to see and share with others who are on the same journey. Let me know your info so I can follow you also!!

  16. There's nothing easy about a lifetime of food restrictions. Kindly ask them to educate themselves

  21. Almost 4 months out and I haven't made it to a single support group. My hospital hosts 2 every week, and every week on those 2 days I prepare myself to go and I never make it. I have planned to go this evening at 630. Right about now I am second guessing myself and convincing myself I do not need to go even though I think about it every week. Does anyone else face this issue. I know it's a positive thing and I'm being encouraged by others around me to attend. I do not know why I never show up.

  26. I have hiccups multiple times a day but no abnormal burping
  27. I am in the same boat. I went jogging today for the first time ever. I've still got a long ways to go but it is a surprise that we feel the difference and how far we've actually come! Keep dancing
  28. Thank you both so much!

  31. 3.5 months out -62 lbs. How do you guys stay motivated and feel supported!! I feel like I can hardly see a change in real life. Obviously it helps tremendously to compare photos. I'm taking a moment to Celebrate myself as I am having a hard time these days! 62 lbs gone forever and many more to come. ????
  32. Oh yeah that's the rough part. Honestly I watched food porn. Food network, tasty and buzz feed cooking tutorials. I even got some bomb recipes that I could make vsg friendly. The mental stimulation was enough for me. I am aware it may make others go insane but for me it was all I had!!! Give it a shot ????
  33. After surgery were most definitely in ketosis...now I am on to lifestyle living and trying to find the style of diet that works for me. Ketogenic is something I have come to over and over again. Then I get a delicious carb inside of me and before I know it i can't stop. Does anyone here follow keto diet? What are your results, share your experiences. Thanks!
  34. I agree. I consider snacks the same as meals and vice versa. I'm just getting bored and want to get more creative. I eat nuts yogurt cheeses lunch meats. As a grab and go thing but I'm just so over it. I wanna make a meal and then eat it multiple times. I've tried the quiche or the egg muffins and after eating it more than once it makes me weird nauseous! But it always has so it's not a sleeve thing
