HiMow

I stepped on the scale and I was 281. So... Brian weighs 280 and i was so excited to weigh less than my fiance. Then he informed me that since I had the surgery he lost weight and is now 270. WELL HELL. I am really excited that he is losing weight, too! then we can be hot together. But, you know... I guess maybe in a few more weeks. I want to catch up to him!:thumbup:

HAHAHAH I love your thigh master cartoon!

I will check in! I lost 3 of 15 so far.

My fiance has only ever known me large. He seems concerned quite often. But, I know he loves me, it's true love and that transcends appearance. Also, Even men who are chubby chasers by nature can appreciate a beautiful petite woman. I doubt you'll get kicked out of bed. Remind him how he'll be able to pick you up and throw you around soon. :thumbup:

That is such a cute story, it made my day, too.

I feel like I didn't have the band. Yes, I hurt! Yes, I can't eat. And yet?? I look at people that have lost and think.. gee I wish that were me. I have lost 43 lbs in a little over a month!! and I think I haven't lost any! I think it might be because I don't feel the restriction. Or maybe I feel like my gravy train is going to end and my loss will slow sooo dramatically. Also, I cant exercise yet so I feel like a fatty. I just sit around all day. I know this will only be another few days before I can start looking for a job. You guys... I loose like a pound a day and I keep think "ohh it's just water weight. That's not really what I weigh." When is this going to sink in and give me more confidence?

yes! DEPO helped me gain 100lbs in college!! Celexa helped me gain almost 100 more!~! I agree with everyone! we are all so similar! Fat families, Depression, toxic relationships... I also feel something like... I am almost afraid to be attractive to men. Or, certain men. I was a victim of sexual abuse at a VERY young age. I have a really outgoing and confident personality. But, when men hit on me I want to cry. Then, I do things like wear tops to show off my boobs. Is anyone else like this?

cigna denied me at first because my 6 month diet with my PCP was an ARNP, so watch out!

if you are feeling dizzy it is a sign of dehydration. I thought it was lack of food or pain meds too. Drink more or you will end up in the ER, no joke, they threatened to send me.

I remember when I first saw the scale go over 200. I was in 7th grade. I was scared. It was the worst time in my life. I lost my family, I was being abused, I was homeless for a time, I saw my mother beaten. My mom was always obsessed with weight. I have been on a diet since I was born. When I was born, the first words I ever heard were, "Woah! Thunder thighs! It's cute now but it won't be cute later." That is what the doctor said to the nurse. I am hungry.

thankyou

crush your pills and put them in your protein shake!!! don't try to cut them really small and don't try to mix them into applesauce, its gross. The shake is the only thing that covers the awful taste.

Why is it that some people have no problem? My mom had bypass and said at first she couldnt drink soda but slowly she could and now it is no problem. Maybe she stretched out a little??

youre an inspiration! great job!!!

AMAZING!!!! great job!!!!!

honestly, NO WAY! Maybe I was a slow healer, but I was dead to the world.

Stacy- What can I do to replace the good feelings that food gave me? It seems like I have to have SOMETHING. How do I get out of that rut?

I will join! My fiance is addicted worse than me. He lives on it. He tried to quit when I did but he is right back to it. I hear the "pop" of the can from my bedroom :smile2: Spicy food tastes soooo good with DP!

My first fill apt. is January 20!! I can't wait! :mad: I want to be full so bad!!!

I totally agree! Quitting all these things at once! I had to quit Pot, too. AND SEX!

Mine said two months. It is hard to heal for a smoker.

she admits it it because she couldn't eat and just needed something. She has an "addictive personality" she says. I am so aware of it, I know that it will not happen to me.
