I think you already know the answer to this question. Good luck to you. You are stronger than you know.

Mine says it every time. He is constantly smothering me, saying he sees the way men look at me and he's afraid I'm going to leave him. It's definetly him being insecure but I told him if he can love me at my worst, then he deserves me at my best. He tends to get a little snippy when we aren't intimate for a day or two, I think it's him being insecure. Maybe just talk to him and ask him why he's acting like that? He probably is scared you are going to leave him. Best wishes.

This is going to sound crazy... But honestly, I feel like the days I stay on track and do what I'm supposed to, I seem to stall. I throw in extra calories and a little junk the next day, and two days later, I'm down 5 lbs. so strange. But here's my day
Premier Protein shake
Turkey & cheestick
Protein Bar usually Atkins cranberry & almond
chicken & BBQ Sauce
I drink mostly crystal light. I did horrible today, but seem to get off track on the weekends. That was my yesterday.
I'm not sure if that helps, but there you have it

Would you mind sharing a little bit of what you 're eating ...like what would be a typical day for you?

Everyone's going to be told something different. My surgeon told me that my body is so used to picking her up that there was no restriction with her. She's was 12 months and 22 lbs, I still took it easy and didn't just hold her all the time. I would pick her up when she wanted a hug and kiss and put her back down. She really didn't understand obviously. I'd do what you feel comfortable with, if you trust ur surgeon listen to him, if you're dying to just hug your baby, take it slow and listen to your bodys cues. Good luck! Xx

You look great! :-)

Great job

Ha, not the same guy. First pic was my friends wedding, the other guy is my fiancé, who has definetly taken some of my weight! He's getting used to it now and is finally losing weight... It's nice to weigh less than him for once!

Your fat cells store Estrogen. As your fat cells shrink they dump all that excess estrogen into your blood stream.

Glad it's not just My iPad. I have the ipad 2. Hope we get a better version ASAP. Now flip!

Honestly I'm not going to give the best advice... But I had surgery 9/7.. I'm down a total of 70 lbs... 20 pre op, 50 post op. I eat what I want, when I want, obviously not like complete crap, but I pick high Protein and make sure I get it all. But if I want pizza, I eat pizza. If I want some crackers, I have some crackers. I get all my Water in, I feel like that's the secret. Good luck! Add more calories in.. When I stall... I eat more... Sounds crazy, but it works!

That's not love, that's more like borderline verbal abuse. Run now, get skinny and he will be so regretful. His loss, you're better than that!

I was kinda hoping that a lady would have addressed this, but looks like I get to set myself up for a lynching again.
You are rapidly losing weight. All that fat that is being burned off your body has stores of estrogen in it. As it burns off, all that estrogen is dumped into your blood stream. At this point you are chemically imbalanced.
*ducks for cover*
I thought that I was immune to this being a guy, but after asking my wife, I was informed that I was very short tempered for a couple months after surgery. She said I would get upset about little things that haven't bothered me in years, & she felt like she was walking on egg shells to keep from annoying me.
I know this is not what you want to hear, but it probably not him. In all reality he is probably sitting there wondering where his wife went, & when or if she's gonna come back.
My advice is to sit down and ask him why he thinks the 2 of you are arguing? I bet his response will be something like "because you are not happy with anything I do anymore.". Then explain to him that you just learned about the chemical imbalance this surgery creates & you make a concerted effort to curtail it. But you will be a bit on the sensitive side till the weight loss slows.
So the price he pays for getting a thin hottie for a wife. Is he has to deal with the b!tch for a few months.

Before, and currently. Still 40lbs to go.
Think I need to go buy a belt. Haven't been comfortable wearing one in years.
