    Why?

    I had some one say " look at your loosing our boobs and butt" then say I was looking very Shapley etc days later. I gues they're getting use to us changing. At first I was annoyed but now its starting not to bother me. And take it as some sort of compliment that at least I'm loosing.

    Been lactose In tolerate before surgery but sweets cause some reactions like dumping.

    NO BLOOD (transfusion) SURGERY

    Yea. Patients have rights to whatever you don't want to happened in case of an emergency so just let your surgeon team know a head of time. It has nothing to do with insurance. It's similar to if you had an allergy to certain meds or products. But discuss that ahead of time. Good luck

    Love and hate relationship

    I understand how you all who are advancing through the first stages may feel. I'm happy to say that at 5 months, I seeing that it gets easier each day. Now I use food for fuel. My relationship with food has changed. I still recall many birthday and celebratory gatherings that for me brought almost a chemical feel good feeling. Learning to live without that attachment. Especially birthday Cakes, OMG! I had a personal Baker, for me and my kids. Except, I would end up eating most of the cakes! Happy to report, that these few months of Major changes with hard work is paying off! It was harder in the beginning and a way of life Now. Not a day goes by at work that i don't get many compliments! Yay, im very happy with 68lbs down from a size 24 to a size 12/14. Yay Be encouraged we can do this!

    Enough Already with the Psycho-Babble

    I agree my psych exam was the least of the very few unpleasant things I had to deal on my Journey to getting sleeved. Very easy, I did have a slight anxiety though. But, Even my questioner was not the long test I heard about.
  18. I wanted to Also loose the "100lbs" in 4.5 months. But that didn't happened. I started out at a size 22/24 now I'm at a size 12/14. Yay I'm rebooting this week trying to break the bad habits of slider foods. Day 2 in the 5 day pouch test. Yay Hoping to get to goal by 9- 10 months.

    Motivation!

    Honey, you can do this. I do the same work. So I know how hard and exhausting the job can be. But you worked so hard to get the surgery I agree that it's too early to fall off course. But the great news is that we are here to support you. Call your Nut and physician. Put your self first! You Can do it. Good luck
  21. Well I had to go back to basics. Because popcorn has been a slider food for me. I read the post in the link provided and I can say my slider food attachment developed because I didn't like the full feeling. So I could eat a whole bag without feeling food. Sometimes i would rest and repeat. So now I'm on day 2 of the 5DPT. Mainly to get back to basics. I like that I'm reaching for protein. I' was stalling and not lost what I wanted, now these slider foods is part of the cause.
  22. Way to go! Congratulations are in order!
