I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

It probably doesn't help that my husband keeps calling me fat ass and saying that if I don't lose another 80lbs in a month he'll leave me. I know he's joking but I don't want to hear it.

My husband dont make sense he will tell me im a fat ass and then the next day he will say what you trying to do look like olive oil then he says I guess that will make me popeye

My non surgery friends/fam just don't understand. They keep saying make sure you eat 1500 calories. Your body is starving its self. Do this' date=' do that.... 1500 calories! Whatever. I am lucky to get 700 in. It takes me 2 hours to drink a 150 cal 11 Oz protein shake.

I have some friends like that too and they are totally clueless. This forum has been a saving grace cause I can come here and ask my questions,vent my frustrations and they get it. You are doing great and just as I have to remind myself..it's a journey.

I think I would have to confront him about that even as a joke. I'd tell him there's the door so start stepping cause no woman just going thru this recovery from rny trying to get life figured out all over again needs to hear that. I'm quiet sure tho that sometimes when men make little snips like that its cause they are deep down insecure. I try to remember my husband is having to adapt to my life change and how it affects him as well but I don't think I can handle that kinda stress. Head up! It's gonna get better

I've been waiting for this for awhile..my leave it all behind day!

That looks so nice

Down 71.8 pounds today. My thyroid has kicked in so like clockwork had to changed my dose. But thus time i have ten bald spots in my head instead of the 3 or 4 when its off. I can't afford to lose anymore hair!

Yay on the weight loss.....nay on the hair loss! I feel your pain...my hair is falling out bad. I wish I lost as much weight as you...that is awesome. I've only lost 54. :-(

I made it to 50 pounds today! 51 actually. It was my first goal that I set to meet. What a relief ...the last 2-3 weeks I was only losing about a pound a week. I was worried that it wouldn't pick up again. I want to start working out but I'm in pain. My doc says my back and hip pain is due to my body readjusting to how it carries itself. Once I can work out I hope to pick up the weight loss pace again. Has this pain been a problem for anyone else?

It is becoming a bigger and bigger issue for me. I didn't have pain until after the surgery. It's becoming excruciating.

Ok I had to share this. Apparently this woman I know kind of by family association decided I needed a lecture today and it really pissed me off. She was sending me her phone number asking me to call her and lecturing me. She knows my mom and friended me on fb. Mind u I haven't update the world I had surgery. She saw a pic and I think I had posted something about being sleepy after lunch yesterday and she decided to start lecturing me on anorexia and also on how pale I am! Kept begging me to call her that she's been in the medical field for 26yr and her daughter had anorexia. I'm a nurse too I should add and have had nutrition in college as well. Needless to say after hours of her fb messaging me and me trying to be polite I had enough and told her no that I would not call her and I didn't need her advice as nothing she could say to me was worth anything that I've had surgery and I am on the special plan by my surgeon and see a nutritionist and I was not facing anorexia I was facing losing weight which is what the heck I wanted since i had surgery!!! I don't really know this woman and what a set of gonads she must have to be so presumptuous. I guess my day to day is usually so boring and I just was shocked my this small town small minded woman back home. Reminds me why I moved away for a reason. That's my 1st really weird experience post surgery.

Isn't it funny how the whole feels it's their responsibility to make unsolicited comments/advice on our weight issues?

Ok so I have to share I bought some protwin samples from nashua nutrition and the bariatric advantage ones are soooo good...the other day I had the chocolate one I put it in the blender with a small scoop of crushed ice and 2TBSP of PB2 chocolate peanut buttet spread and 4 slices of frozen banana I originally froze for banana bread but since I cany eat banana bread I put it in shake and omg it came out just like a really good milkshake with 31g protein. ..then just now I wanted something sweet but needed more protein si I did the same but with banana bariatric advantage protein and again 31 g protein and delicious! Also they sell these bbq protein chips and they are really good too

Don't get what makes some people think they have the right to interfere in someone else's business! She has alot of nerve, and im glad you put her in her place!
