I once ordered a $3000 vacation for 4....one problem (I have a family of five) on ambien....I was also a sleep eater with it....needless to say I stopped taking that stuff! good thing you woke up

I am one year out now, and I have to say that I fully believe that If I tell myself I cant have something that I really want, then I will end up failing miserably. If there is something that I am truely craving then I will have it, just a really small amount, and then I am over it....instead of being haunted over it again and again. I'm glad you arent beating yourself up over it!

I am glad that you are deciding to go back, I was really worried about you! it is hard because we all had the surgery for pretty much the same reason......a severe problem with food addiction. you can do this, just give yourself a little time to heal

sounds great to me. you can also go online and look up low carb dinners to make.....try doing a new one every day like an adventure. just because you are only cooking for yourself doesnt mean that you cant have fun with it. if you make enough you can always freeze the left overs in single servings for a quick pull out dinner for the times when you dong want to cook. it really sounds like you are doing a good job though already.

try a sugar free fudgesicle. or some jello, or pudding. that helped me

you are playing rush and roulette with your stomach. You are risking a tear in your staples and your new tummy. I hope you will reconsider eating like this.....better safe then dead!

sex is much better now I had reached that phase of being over weight where we could only do one position before.....and had to have lights off.....now that is no longer a problem!

love it! this was one of my goals, and I am proud to say that I have met this one! it is so nice when the bar goes all the way in! my next one is to be able to fit into size 6's you will get there soon!

definatly happy! we are celebrating our 18 year anniversary on the 20th of september. we make sure to act like we are dating, and not just like we are married and have kids. its important to keep dating even after you have kids and are married!

oh no, I wasnt mad at all! haha If I see a pretty woman that I think my hubby would like I will point it out to him.....Just did this the other day when we went to universal studios....there was this beautiful woman walking by when we were sitting down.....I mean BEAUTIFUL!!! She even had one of those shirts on that dont have sleeves, or sides so you could see her whole bra free boob action on the side...im all......LOOK, LOOK,LOOK....real fast....he liked it..lol

that is so wonderful! doesnt it feel good to know they are still in to us? just a little more now...lol

I'm not sure what I thought anymore...lol Everything is so different now compaired to then. I think before I was thinking like the sleeve was going to be this quick thing, that I would lose so fast....but I still couldnt picture myself as thin. Now I still dont think of myself as thin, and my wii doesnt either because it still says that I am in the obese catigory. I dont think that I look fat, just not thin. It is weird. I am so happy that I got the sleeve....no regrets at all! You look great by the way! Can you believe it has been a year already?

All of us that have done or are doig the insurance wait completely understand your frustrations, vent away! It will happen for you!

you really look great! Wow! very beautiful!!!

that is so wonderful...inspiring!

three week stall.....happens to almost all! its not magic, it wont just disappear. you will get there, but you shouldnt worry about how quick you lose it, some of us take a while to see that scale move....and btw 22 pounds is a great number!

wow! that is incredible numbers! keep up whatever you are doing cause it is obviously working. I have to work for every pound I lose now. I miss the big numbers those stalls hit us all, just keep possitive!

this is totally a wonderful NSV! dont it feel great? lol

you are burning up fat, and building muscle. fat takes up more space then muscle. pound of fat and a pound of muscle is still a pound, however the amount of mass (or the space that it takes up) is much smaller....so in answer to your question, someone who is the same height as you and the same weight as you could be in a size 16 and you could be in a size 12----same brand jeans and all---because your space is going to be smaller then theirs. hope this helps

I lost a little bit of hair, but I have alot so it really wasnt noticable, except for the regrowth sticking up. I know someone who had a lot of hair loss, and we went to sallys and got some hair extentions for her. if you get real hair you can dye it whatever color your hair is and then there is the hair glue that you use to glue it in by the root. you can add them wherever you are really thin. Also getting a shorter hair cut helps disguise thin hair. In your picture your hair looks great btw. you really look wonderful! as for taking anything for it, I never did...and the hair stopped falling our at about 6 months for me. good luck!

Get used to those stalls, they happen often...but then bamb....you lose again, and it is like christmas! lol

I dont know the brand, however I have a receipe for a low carb pizza you can make for yourself in about 8 minutes. You buy the low carb garlic tortillas, they sell them at all grocery stores....put a tiny amount of oil or butter and line a skillet with it, then put the tortilla on it, with medium to low heat. spread on your favorite spagetti sause, or pizza sause....then add all the meat and veggies you like, spread cheese over top. cook right on the stovetop for about 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy. This is sooooo good, and my whole family loves it too. It is a really great option, and you will have enough for 3-4 meals for yourself.

I have lost more then 100 pounds with the sleeve. What you lose depends on how much you put into it. I used to get heartburn and acid reflux badly before the surgery....since the surgery I have had acid reflux about two times, however It was after I overate my sleeve. I wouldn't personally get the by-pass due to the malabsorption....and how many friends I have seen look so bad after it. Good luck to you!

we all feel this way before surgery, no matter where it is. I'm sure you will be fine! congrats on getting this wonderful tool!

that is so wonderful! keep up the good work!
