I know this is an old topic but I'm going through the same thing right now. I've lost 92 pounds, broke up with my boyfriend (who was my ex-husband) and now I'm addicted to the online sites and meeting new people and having sex. I'm not really using many drugs or alcohol but I do smoke weed probably twice a week and have a few drinks twice a week. Once I'm the slightest bit buzzed (which doesn't take a lot now), I have no inhibitions and it's scary. I've put myself in a few dangerous situations. I did go see a therapist last week and told her everything. Just wanted to talk to others who have experienced this. Never in a million years didn't I think this would happen to me.

I couldn't have lettuce until 3 months out.

I don't mind the compliments. I work at a place where we all are very close so I don't mind my friends/coworkers telling me how great I look, or they like my new top, etc. I figure I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I was h pylori positive many years ago. I was treated with antibiotics and had no issue getting my surgery 3 months ago.

If your goal is about 100 pounds, I don't think you will get there in 6 months. I think it will take longer. This isnt a sprint, it's a journey/marathon so don't kill yourself trying to lose all of your weight in the first 6 months. That doesn't sound feasible. Also, I wasn't cleared to exercise until at least 4 weeks.

Where do you buy the wraps?

Wow, that's awesome! I'm about the same amount of time out but I've only lost about 42.

I got some free samples of the one-a-day chewable vitamins from Procare Health and it was AWFUL. Like I could barely get it down it tasted so bad. Maybe the capsules are okay but I'm not ready for capsules yet.

I also have IBS and can't do the sugar alcohols. Orgain is a brand that isn't whey-based and I think it uses Splenda for the sweetener. They have lots of different flavors too. I got mine on Amazon.

The only one I can stand and doesn't make me sick is Stevia. Have you tried that?

I was supposed to only be off for a week, but I ended up being off for 3 weeks because of bad dehydration after surgery.

I'm a big cold tea drinker but I don't think we have Davids Tea around here. I'm so upset that Teavana closed down. I've been ordering different decaf teas off Amazon. Harney and Sons Paris decaf tea is amazing. Strawberry lemonade and rhubarb sound awesome too.

I remember extreme hunger just a day or two after my surgery. It lasted for weeks until I could start soft foods. The liquids and purées did not fill me up. The beginning is the worst. It will get better.

I can't do plain water anymore either, but I love Hint water. It's kinda expensive though.

I'm close. I live in Annapolis.
