  1. I've told a very limited amount of people.. the ones I've told seem to be jealous but also seem to be interested in the process for themselves as well. My mother just recently had it done so she's be very supportive. My husband feels I'll get skinny and leave him it's a downer.




    I was very open about my surgery and I found it beneficial. Yes, there were some naysayers & some who were jealous. But at the same time, my story encouraged quite a number of others to seek help, and they, in turn, encouraged others.
    As for your husband, if he treats you well and loves you deeply. And you love him deeply, all you can do is reassure him that you're still the same person, no matter what you weigh.



  2. Vomiting sucks it can happen from eating too quick too fast too much...sucks when it happens - worst is when it's both ends! Vomiting on toilet good visual lol
    Dumping normally happens when eating too high sugar or liquids with meals. But gastric distress either vomiting or dumping generally subsides after the first year.

    The reason it subsides after a year is because by then you're pretty well trained. That's a good thing! Still, after 15 years, I will occasionally dump or stop up. It only serves to remind me of being aware. Sure it's not nice at all, but it IS effective!



  3. Try the "grazing" method. Take a bite of food, then go do something, then come back for another bite.
    I used to keep mixed nuts at my desk. In my job, I needed to be away from my desk quite a bit, so I'd take a few nuts and go. Keeping some hidden in the back of your desk drawer could work, too.
    I also recommend getting some Trim & Healthy Mama Integral collagen. It has no flavor, is high in Protein & you can put it on or in anything. It's good for your bones , nails & hair, too.



  4. Anyone who thinks that bariatric surgery is the easy way out, has absolutely NO idea what it entails. A person can out-eat ANY surgery. I'm almost 15 years out. Sure, the weight comes off fast at first. Then you need to keep working to keep it off. I still weigh myself everyday.
    GBP is a last resort, not an easy way out. And, no, I have never regretted my decision to have one.
