Regret
It is okay. I had regret. I call it buyers remorse. It will make you rethink every life decision you made. However, I promise you being that I am 2 months post-op, it gets easier and you will feel better. Right now it is uncomfortable and the pain maybe unbearable but do know it gets betters. I do not regret it now at all. Remember, this is a non refundable transaction, you cannot take it back. You can only think positive and push forward.

a little help & advice :/
It took me 7-days to go. I had nothing but warm tea and hot baths. I would force myself to walk. I was not very happy because it was causing back pains. I also used a warm compress on my tummy to help relax and try to release some of the gas.

How do you feel?
It is time for a vacation. I do agree that it gets tiring when people constantly ask you questions about your weight loss and what you eat? However, it is just people whom are curious.

What is your favorite way to stay active on the rainy days?
I purchased the Booty Max just for shits and gigs. I use it on rainy days when my ankle hurts just working on arms lol.

Feeling Kinda Meh.
This morning I woke up feeling like a dying plant. I was out of breath and completely exhausted. I had to drink water. Once I did that I felt a lot better. I am sorry to hear that you were diagnosis with Diabetes. I know many of us get the surgeries to help. I agree that it just might be the reason why you are feeling MEH.

How often so you weigh in?
To be honest, I weigh in twice a week. However, Sundays are my official weigh in days.

PreOp Shakes/sucralose
GNC - Total Lean are good ones.

Nutrition
My nutritional limits are the following: 1) Carbs - Stay under 25g 2) Fat - Stay under 15g 3) Sugar - Stay under 15g This was also catered to me from my Nutritionist. Every one is different though. Rule of thumb. You should have 5g of protein to every 1g of carbs. The more lean protein you intake the less carbs, sugars and fat you will intake as well. An overage day for me is: 1) 50 - 70g of protein 2) 10g - 15g of carbs 3) 5 - 10g of fat 4) 5 - 10g of sugar I hope this helps.

New to dating
Well that's good. How long have you been talking to her. My suggestion is wait about 1 week after talking just to make sure that the chemistry is really there.

2-Month Post Op
I think I am official cat-fishing people. They tell me I look great and I am like you do not know what is under this outfit lol.

New to dating
I agree with @russdroppings. You should drop her. Any female that is not provided detailed answers are usually a waste of time. They are not truly interested. Do not waste your time or even try to make her open up.

@sgc if that can work. I would say try it. However, do not become negative or loose your optimism.

Portion/Bariatric Plates
I bought one and I use it all the time. It works for me.

New to dating
My suggestion is locate a Bariatric Dating Site. I think they created one too. Also, go back in your comments, there was a woman that was interested in getting to know you better. It was a little ways ago but you never know.

New to dating
@sgc - Still no luck. I have not been on for a little but I hoped that you would meet someone. I would say, try the group activities. Try a bariatric conference or meet up. I think meeting people whom are at the same point in their lives as you are and understand your struggle will help tremendously.

Boobies...ugh
Honestly, my breast are starting to look like jacket sleeve boobies. They just look sad. The fullness is going away. I need that to happen in my tummy.

I do not think that ya'll should be upset. 29lbs down and my boobies have gotten smaller. I am panicking. I am used to these D's. I cannot take going to a C or B. lol I want to keep my boobies.

Is there a way to block people on here?
Oddly enough, I will have to admit that I enjoy reading those post. They are rather entertaining to see people be critical when they are behind a keyboard.

Dealing with an unsupportive husband...help!
My BF was supportive and then 2 days before surgery, he started a fight. I did not speak to him Friday and Saturday. My surgery was scheduled on Sunday. My mom was out of town on business and was coming back Sunday morning. The Hospital sent a car to home, a formality to ensure that you are on time for surgery lol. He was there when I got there. He apologized and we spent time talking while I waited for my turn. He was just scared and did not want to talk me out of it so he let those feelings bottle up. In your case, your Husband is vocal about how he feels. I understand that you want him there more so to understand the process and for him to trust your decision. It just sucks that you have to strong arm him into doing what he knows he should be doing.

Pre cooked grilled chicken
I am sure that this will seem bad. However, I have gone to Applebees and bought two grilled chickens and then shred them and meal prepped for this past week. I had enough with beans and broccoli that I was able to get 3 days worth or meals out of it.

How do you organize your vitamins?
Sorry about that. I had posted that on my status update the other day for someone whom had just had surgery. I forgot to edit out the parts pertaining to her.

How do you organize your vitamins?
My two 2 week post-op appt was when I was advised to start taking my vitamins. I take the following: calcuim vitamin D iron (ensure that you are taking iron and calcium at least 2 hours apart. I choose to take them 3 hours apart to be safe) biotin (I need my curls to stay glamorous) multivitamin for women b12 Due to me having issues with remembering to take my vitamins. I downloaded this free app called Round to help me keep track. Congrats on your surgery. Now is way too soon to be taking chewy vitamins. Have you already scheduled your 2 week follow up?
