It really does help whenever the cravings come! I don't mind yelling at my fat passenger but once I start asking her questions maybe then I'll be concerned

I'm so glad that the surgery itself made my dedication even stronger. Just knowing it's there makes me feel even more focused.

normis, I'm happy for you! 13lbs is quite a bit for such a short time span.

bmendoRNurse, nope, no gas ex. My surgeon never recommended it to me. I mostly feel sore at the port site. The nausea I'm sorta happy for because I think it's helping me not eat

ravendays, it really is! I'm not a huge fan of Kate Moss but that quote stuck with me.

finallyncontrol, thanks for the motivation!

Eventually you'll be able to have a little of your missed foods and be satisfied, so think of it as a "I'll see you for a little while, later" instead of "goodbye". It's been working for me at least. It is a big change but it's exactly what we wanted . Try to remember how you felt after eating those old foods too. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels! Hang in there my dear.

Sounds like the surgery went well. The meds part though, how rude! I wish all doctors wouldn't assume you're an addict until proven innocent. Why be in pain? I had one doctor who believed in that and nothing "bad" happened to me. Anyway, hope you feel yourself soon!
