Jealously rears its ugly head in rare forms! Don't stress it. Deep down she knows what she could do when she's ready to change! Your example really is helping her. If not today, then tomorrow. Love you!

Life will not change as much as how you interact with food will. Then you will be so happy because of all the awesome things you accomplish. You will believe in yourself again, you will have a special new pep in your step! You will look back and say, " what was I so worried about"? Relax, enjoy the ride!

Girl! You look so good! Can you believe how good you look already? Way to go!

Hello Chad! I went in for my second fill today. I've lost 31 lbs in two months. I have a BMI of 37.1 now (woohoo) I was told that I am way ahead of the curve because it is usually around 5lbs a month. I attribute my success to low fat, high quality foods. Yogurt or egg for bfast. Grilled lean meat/fish and veggie for lunch and dinner. I add whole wheat cous cous or Beans for carbs but at a very low quantity. Snacks are ff cheese or 1/2 fruit. And I exercise as much as I can.

Can you imagine what it would feel like without being numbed? Ouch! I got my second fill today with numbing, thank you very much!

Two months!

I've never heard of such a thing. If you have an unfill you no longer have a tool.

That's awesome!

I eat the same as before. For me I was fuller longer though. I go tomorrow for my second fill.

Three children, husband, and bf know. Best decision I ever made to not tell anyone. I'm just learning and I dont want to explain things while I'm just learning myself.

That is what I was thinking! There is no "bigger issue" if your family can't give you an hour! I work full time, school full time, three kids, hubby, and father in law just moved in. I understand completely! Do what you can, even if its hardly anything!

Unfortunately the gas isn't in your intestinal track because it was blown into your cavity during surgery. For it to absorb you have to move around. Heating pads also work. It is absolutely the worse part of surgery, for me anyway!

Banded 10/5. Down 40lbs since preop! I get my second fill tomorrow!

Gigi, I will run the marathon with you! You pick where and I'm coming! I've been looking for someone who will run one with me! Only thing is, I'm an accountant so I can't run one in feb-may. I was banded 10/5. I was training last year for NWM 2011 when I hurt my back. Have to get under 200 to start running again. I absolutely love it though!

Lane Bryant makes 36 b and you can use last hooks to take on other inch or two off. I'll be sorry if I get smaller than that cuz I love their push-up bras!

Hey! I totally forgot about that. Try some Gatorade zero cal or coconut Water if you can handle the taste. Both quick fix for that!

First of all, this is the hardest part and it lasts only about three days then you will feel better. It is however VERY important that you stick to it. I personally like unjury unflavored and chicken Soup. I also got About Time chocolate. They are sold online, isolate whey protein. This period is hard but once you start seeing the results you will be thrilled!

So much changes when you have Wls. We are not used to taking care of ourselves first. Listen to your body and do what it says you can do! I didn't start exercising until one week ago even though I saw everyone on here just going for it. I did feel bad but I was just too tired! I'm almost two months post op now. I feel better but I still just listen to my body.
