    Anyone jealous?

    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.

    Pureed or blenderized food ideas

    Get some Trim & Healthy Mama Integral Collagen. It has no flavor, is high in protein & you can put it on or in anything. (No, I don't work for them)

    6 weeks out+baby back ribs=DUMP

    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! [emoji854]

    Sooo tired after eating

    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.

    Anyone jealous?

    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.

    Depression & Anxiety medication

    I have been on MDD meds since before my Rue-en-y in 2002 and only needed to adjust the dosage. Don't worry, they won't just sit in your pouch. The do dissolve.
