Let's share all our sophomore experiences, our angst, our struggles, our suggestions--let's talk about life! Let's become friends! You can be on any kind of food plan, do any kind of exercise or not, be gay or straight, engage in cardio or not--you just have to be in the "tweener" stage post WLS.

Not a Newbie but not yet a Vet - Sophomores have different challenges and are coping with an awkward middle stage, so please only post if you've passed the six month post-surgery mark!

Short answer, yes.

That’s pretty much what I’m doing. I did add a little fruit to increase my fiber and I’ll see how that goes.

I can’t put my finger on it exactly, but I have a hard time trusting Dr. Vuong. He seems very bitter and it is unusual for a surgeon his age to be unemployed. He does have some valid points, but my program has almost everything he states is missing from bariatric programs.

I find Dr. Weiner on YouTube more compelling.

I am angry that he sells MLM and tries to recruit people to his downline. I think he takes advantage of his position as a doctor and preys on naive people.

What concerns me about him is that he feels like he’s trapped in a self-affirming loop. That’s not to say he’s wrong, by the way - just to say that I think he’s accepted some things as such solid fact that he would have a hard time reshaping his thinking even if contradictory evidence appeared.

Ok, BS? or WORD!?

How's everyone's week going on the PowerPuff Scale?

.#2 ... always #2 ?

I am almost 7 months out and went in for a plastic surgery consult. I am going to need a tummy tuck and breast lift. I am down 105 lbs and 32 lbs from goal weight. The plastic surgeon recommends I lose an additional 10 lbs over the 32. I asked what else could I do to have the best outcome and she recommended pilates to time and strengthen my core. I went to my first pilates class yesterday and I think I am in love. Question. Has anyone been able to get a doctor order for pilates so their HSA will cover it? And if so what did the script or order say? My plan is to have my plastic surgery in December when I am a year out.

I'm a solid 5/6

9. So much 9, with the background of 3.

It was brought to my attention that I don't even wear half of the nonsense I own let alone promised myself I would wear once I was this size... mostly workout gear and I dont even workout ?
