Lie on food log
Sugar free fudge pops for the win! Or SF Russell stover "reeses" [emoji7] chocolate affects the brain like drugs and happy endorphins come thru....its true what doc said but up to you to stay in control, have a good support system. Dont sneak food like a hobbit. Your working towards a goal for a reason, yes you can have it in maintenance, just keep the same mentality. Plus food wont sprout legs and run away (unless its alive), meaning you will have all the time in the world to eat "the bad stuff" in moderation while balancing healthy eating & exercise [emoji177]

11 days preOp diet is Hell! Who else is days away?
I'm late to ur post but maybe a newbie will see this....I saw a woman on youtube do this and I'm in nursing school and it makes perfect sense in regards to fluid & electrolyte levels....drink a 0 cal gatorade in the morning before you flush your body with a ton of water daily. It avoids headaches and fatigue [emoji177]

Surgery before kids ? & what to expect after ..
#1 I'm sure it's safe to have kids post- op, I would lose all the weight 1st and hold off on any skin surgeries. Your doc should have discussed this with you though #2 dont have any post op tips yet #3 who you tell, is your business, it's your surgery and your life #4 your social life doesnt need to fully change with kids, well I guess it depends on what u do socially lol...but new mom/dad friends, outdoor activities, theme parks, etc. Kids will keep u busy and active Good luck [emoji177]

Living Rent Free
Girl.....hes still ur man, he loves u and loved u when u were extra curvy til now....but men also like what they see too, it's pretty basic. My man called me fat in a arguement once (I said a few low blows too) and I cried bc he was mean, the scale said 285 (ummm yeah! Lol I'm fat!) Men say and do stupid **** all the time (so do we) but if it bothers u that much, talk to him! He may have not even thought in depth about the comment and was just appreciating how hot u are now [emoji91] good luck girly [emoji177]
