Me too me too! Thank you again Cheri for your insights. They always give me hope. What is your user name on MFP? I would love to be added to your friend list.

I lost an entire shoe size! Was not expecting that

Thank you! So glad to hear I am not alone. I just threw away two bags of holiday cookies and two days of holiday candy. I think I was pretending it was okay to eat them and I was " wasteful" if I threw them away. Stupid thinking track, better to be wasteful that waist-full! It felt pretty good to throw them away. I think another road block I have been putting up is late night eating carbs. I don't need them. It was just comfort eating. I wrote a reminder to put on my bedside.

I agree pull it back. An interview is about looking polished.

I am in this club too. It's coming off just SO SLOW. But I feel so much better about myself even at this weight I don't mind. My bad snacking time is around my TOM. These last few days I have just been bad.

You just described me! Funny, I never thought just belonging to a generation would be so literal...

i had my 4 month follow up today. They confirmed I am a slow looser. I started with a low bmi so they weren't surprised. Still happy with my results though. I should exercise more though

Wow. Thank you everyone. I needed this real feedback. It has been kind of a good thing for me. I had not been exercising and this has given me the " kick in the ass" I needed. I have started walking. It isn't major, but in the past I have over done it at the beginning and just quit. It certainly is easier without the extra 40 lbs. Thank you Cheri. Your feedback in particular is very affirming!

Thanks. I was feeling good until I got the label slow looser. It made me question myself. I have been feeling insecure all day. And you are right I have never ever lost this much on my own.

I don't have a "too small" section in my closet. I can wear ALL the clothes!

I am in a similar situation. 40 lbs in 4 months. I am thrilled with it though. I feel great an have no loose skin. I am in a loose size 14. I

Forgot I was fat and can't run for two minutes straight! Ha ha!

The super fantastic news is that i hit onederland this morning! The bad news is I am payed up with gallstones. I just got back from the ultra sound. Fingers crossed I won't need surgery. But holla!! Onederland in two months! That's 30 lbs!!!

That's interesting. I wonder what the compound is. Yes I do. 99% of my fluids are flavored with crystal light

Layed up...

I think I had a gallstone attack today. Painful and right spot. It lasted about an hour. I called surgeon and made an appt with my gen phys. If it is my gall bladder must it come out? Not loving the thought of another surgery so soon

My surgeon brought me a stuffed bear the second day. I call him beri the Bariatric bear. He was very helpful to press againt my stomach when I was getting into and out of bed

Wow wow wow!

Just had a minor emergency in my neighborhood. I pulled on a pair of jeans and ran out to help. It wasn't until later that I realized I was comfortably wearing jeans from my "too tight" pile. Great feeling!

Anyone else get them? What do you take now? I am suffering and no idea what to take

I was told no caffeine and no asprine. Tylenole didn't touch it. I had some lortab left over that has pushed it away a little, but that won't help with future attacks. Mine seem linked to TOM. Thank god not every month though.

Sorry got mine wrong too. It's lmmoreland.

Dry weight. Perfect. I love this forum. I post a bizarre thought and instead of people thinking I am nuts you relate.

It is funny how differently we measure success after the sleeve. Pre-sleeve I would be over the moon with this weight loss. Now. I feel impatient that I am not under 200 yet.

Finally feeling that extra energy everyone talks about! I went back to work today. No one really noticed the weight loss, but I feel great
