Ms skinniness

I like the taste, but I really hate the way ketoses affects my brain. I have foggy thinking. Sometimes my thoughts just don't happen or the words don't come out correctly. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a trance. Gosh, I really hate this feeling!

You look fantastic!

This is fabulous! Congrats! How about eat healthy, exercise and no more of a gain of 25 lbs give or take a few! You can do this! So happy for you..... :wub:

My friend had the gastric bypass and after a year she could eat candy and has gained 40 lbs back. So it's not a cure for a sweet tooth. The gastric bypass will stretch more than the sleeve too.

Don't freak out, it's really no big deal. At least with a shot, your covered....I want one too.

You will look really sexy and dance in your new size with a ton more energy!

I do understand why your surgeon decided to not do the surgery. My surgeon's took me off my medications a few weeks before the surgery and for quite a while after the surgery. And after surgery there is hormonal reactions that can trigger some severe episodes that will cause havoc for you. wishing you the best.

I'd call the surgeon's office and go back to soft foods like yogurt and shakes for now....

Ditto all the above! Make sure your taking all your vitamins too!

I love being on cloud 9! I would do this again in a heart beat...

If you have come this far then finish the journey. If you don't then you will truly regret it. I would do it in a heart beat. I truly believe your sister will be changing her mind too when she feels better. It is hard but well worth it.....

In a tight family like firefighters, I would tell them. They do care about you and will see you change your eating habits and amounts and they can also watch your back too when in the line of fire.......If they are a nay sayer, then so what.....

Wow after reading a post here, I remembered that my DH took me to the hospital and left to go to work after my surgery and I really didn't have any visitors until my daughter picked me up after the second night. I had a lot of fun with my morphine pump, slept and didn't miss anyone. It was so nice to be left alone. Gosh how lucky was i....?

From reading the above posts, I can tell you that your not alone. we are all here for you. Let us know how your doing we care. Thank you for allowing us to be here for you. This is a gigantic family with lots of love and support..... Close your eyes and have a wonderful journey to sleeveland......

Those are your old ways of comforting yourself when feeling sad, bored, angry, devastated. It is the only way you took control of your life was with food that was comforting. Here's the news, you can choose to do something different. Instead of put that piece of candy in your mouth, call a friend, clean the house, knit, etc. Clean your house to where all those comfort foods are gone. And then give yourself a big hug and start detoxing your body from all that crazy sugar. You can do this. Perhaps now is the time to seek counseling. You have a significant loss coming up too which also contributes to resorting back to those comfort foods. This is part of our journey in changing our life styles.

I get HA's when I don't get in enough water. So up your fluid intake just in case. I had to add Gatorade to my water to help get more in.

Maybe you can start testing on daily basis again and watch your glucose levels. Maybe in consult with the docs there and post pone the test as much as possible. When is your baby due?

Stalls happen and when they happen, they kick us in the butts. Our fears come up and we start believing we're done. And then we feel like a failure again. It's time to put things in perspective and do what we can to get our body shedding those extra lbs again. Here's to good health and changing old habits!

ditto for iegal....... He probably alreadys suspects it, especially when you eat with him....... CONGRATS!

The more I think about this, the I get..... Mourning the loss of carbs.......but I still love my body....

Sit back and enjoy the sleep.....You won't feel a thing....

That sounds fantastic! That means you will only have 1 incision site.....Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! I have 6 scars from my incision sites.

My surgeon never gave me a goal weight. She told me to stop when I was down to 160 lbs. I kept going and am now between 144 to 147lbs and that is my personal goal as well....... I love my skinniness.....

This is truly and NSV! Keep it up and in a couple of weeks you will probably fit into a smaller jean! CONGRATS!

I would go in and meet with the specialists. Where is your A1c count at and can it be determined as diabetes? Have you had a sleep apnea test yet? Look for other comorbities that can get you qualified....... work the system......there is also great docs in Mexico that are reasonable and give A1 care to their patients..... :ph34r:
