    heylizzyclay got a reaction from mrsdaniel2013 in How much can you eat?   
    Hey all, I'm 2 months out - curious how much you guys are able to eat? I can eat 1 cup of food and am worried that is too much? Curious to see how much other people can eat at this time. Thanks in advance

    Seriously - Biotin.

    I haven't had any Hair loss. Actually my hair has gotten stronger and fuller.

    Also, it's important to stick with your Vitamins on schedule (AM/PM). That really helps too I've been told.

    heylizzyclay got a reaction from MzCoffee in Help! I ate a whole Pizza. How??   
    You are not a lone. Whether you ate a whole pizza, or someone else ate a whole piece of cake, two glasses of wine - a lot of us come from a background of overeating and binging, followed by shame. It's okay that you are a work of progress - you are in a transition period. You are trying to change who you are as a person - which is NOT easy. The small size of our stomachs make it a little easier to change, kind of forces us to eat less and less. I'm about a month out and finally getting out of a Huge depression state. I used to find joy and solace in eating. But at the end of the day, it's your mind that makes the decision to eat. If you decide to pick something up and swallow, your stomach doesn't really have a choice. Think about your goals. Make a dream board on Pinterest of healthy bodies, motivational phrases, vsg recipes, at home exercises. Remind yourself of what you want - what you were willing to deal with the insurance company for, the hospital stay for, the possible family and friends that didn't understand your decision. You did it for YOU.

    As a side note, a psychologist has really helped me. You can fix a fridge or a car, but you cannot fix a person - a person has to want to fix them self. Stay strong!

    Hi all, just curious if any of you knew the reason we can't drink carbonated beverages. Is it because it will harm our new stomachs or for fullness reasons? My bachelorette party is today and the doctor OK-ed me to have some wine, but my mom bought this really nice champagne that I would like to try. Thanks in advance for your help

    Yes - it is normal for this to happen apparently. Your body is going through crazy hormone changes - it has something to do with fat deposits and estrogen - losing fat makes your progesterone sky rocket.

    My doctor sent me to an OB to alter my birth control and get face meds.

    heylizzyclay reacted to LittleLizzieLilliput in Period making me nauseous   
    So in our fat is stored hormones, when we lose large amounts of weight quickly those hormones are released and cause havok. Like for me? I've been getting spotting in between my regular periods, really bad cramps and emotional swings. I have a high-school level crush on a coworker now, even though I've worked with him for years. lol! My hormones. SMH.

    Calling your doc is the way to go on this one, IMO. There are some great anti-nausea pills out there.

    It most likely means you took 1-2 bites too many. If you're getting this feeling a lot then you may be challenging your sleeve/pouch a bit so try eating smaller bites, eat slower, chew really well, and stop before you feel like puking.

    heylizzyclay got a reaction from sarcruze in Slow weight loss Anyone and feeling super exhausted???   
    I had the same problem - went to my doctor and cried. He was nice thank god. But explained to me that my metabolism was still slow - the small tummy resets your bodies set point but the years of overeating and a large stomach and probably lack of exercise has put a huge dent in our metabolism.

    So I started doing things to increase metabolism: green tea, HIIT training, walking in the morning, mostly weight lifting.

    I went from losing 10 lbs in two weeks to 8 lbs in one week.

    Going to the gym SUCKS. But I really do feel a high afterward. Waiting for that moment of it becoming a habit and me enjoying going to kick in [emoji23] luckily my fiancé is super supportive and is going with me.

    Oh and also, Protein is SO IMPORTANT. If you don't eat enough protein your body goes into starvation mode and tries to not let you lose weight; makes your body turn to eat its muscle. Eat enough protein paired with weight training and your body will eat your fat deposits.

    I'm not a doctor, so if I misquoted anything please correct me! But after harrowing research and a therapy session with my doctor this is what I understood [emoji23][emoji85]

    Hang in there!
