I understand being an honest person and not wanting to lie. You might be over thinking this to some degree, yes your 150 lb weight loss is a lot over 8-9 months. But this person does not know the pounds and everyone is into themselves. Since you feel strongly about keeping this private you definitely should. Less is more, keep it simple so it is not hard to remember. How does this sound......the person is going to say something like "OMG u have lost so much weight". You could say" yes, I started a nutritional program with a doctor and an exercise program, i feel great, tell me what's new in your life?". Every time the person brings it up you just Beas honest as possible, u r seeing a nutritionist at a dr.'s office and you are exercising. You just aren't saying you went in for an operation 1st. And u don't have to share how many pounds you have lost. One day I had to tell a person, "I'd rather not say.". The person did not get upset, the questions were stopped. I have overthought this same issue....less is more, get them to tell you what has been happening in their life. Good luck, let us know how it goes for you

I clearly remember day 6, I was planning on calling my doctor on day 7 even though I had an appt on day 8. On day 8 I arrived at the doctors, when the support staff asked how I was I started crying, my first week was nausea, diarrhea, pain and I thought I had made a horrible mistake. After seeing the doctor and learningmy pain was normal, my nausea was going to get better I felt so much calmer and reassured. I had to crush my antidepressant pills and some other daily pills, I said the same thing you are saying. I was in the habit of taking all my pills as soon as I got out of bed, I thought it necessary to cont. to do that. So every morning my day started off adding these damn pills to shakes and running out of room. I can't quite tell if you crush pills or your mess r liquid. The best product I found to mask the flavor was carnation instant milk sugar free, it was hard to find, found at Walmart, chocolate flavor really strong. By week 3 I could swallow pills so I became happier. Also if you r doing 4 oz on day 6 this might be causing your nausea. I was doing 4 oz too, I dropped it down to 1-2 oz and felt much better, much, much better, then in a few weeks I was up to 4oz and could tolerate it. I AM SO HAPPY NOW, I am at 10 weeks, still have some nausea but I think I just need to eat slower or??? GOOD LUCK

Never have to feel silly asking a question here, we talk, poop, vomiting, acne, spitting out food and personal emotions we are having and then it turns out others have the same thoughts/issues, such a relief to feel normal.

My skin has improved, I bought some Retinol Cream and dried those pimples up in just a few days, otherwise they were there for two weeks.

Oh boy, You have hit the nail on the head. Tonite I am going to a party and everyone knows me from presurgery. I too have been very open about having the surgery. Now I have 50 lb's off me in just a few months. I DON'T WANT THEM DOING THAT MENTAL MATH EITHER!! I think I will say "I use my clothes instead of the scale to gauge my weight loss". I have a total of 125 lbs to get to goal. Yep, that's too personal to share w/ acquaintances. Thanks for bringing this up.

Never heard of it, any other name for this thing besides a numbing ball? I would love to b able to research this....good luck, u r going to love the results

I pretty much love the taste of all the wellese products. I don't like taking Vitamins at all so this is progress for me, I am doing them almost every day

I am taking Wellesse Liquid Vitamins, I have a multi, iron, calcium, B-12 sub lingual and I got a bottle of liquid PROTIEN, 10 gms of PROTIEN in a spoonful, yumyum

Really???? Very interesting, can u send me to a link to learn more? Or I'll figures it out, thanks for this info

How r u, coastal GA girl? Hope OK after the storm

Did anyone send it to u! Would u post it if u get it? Thanks

Not me, I am following dietary food plan so I can't change that. I exercise almost daily and am doing my best in that area, I am finding success this way so I will bow out. I also weigh myself only about once every 3 weeks, the numbers on the scale hold too much power for me. My m.o. Is....if the scale does not move I get so upset I eat. I know I can't eat now cause I would baurgh but the mind game that scale sends me to is crazy. I use tight clothes to keep myself in check, over the 3 weeks they get looser & looser. Good luck, you all will do great......

I am 8 weeks out and I eat 4oz and that is it, I started at 1 oz too, by 1 month I was doing 4 oz and I don't intend to increase it until???

I was happy with my bullet. Now I am 8 weeks post op so I use my bullet just for my shakes. I have no knowledge of this blender.

We can do it, look how far we have come in 2 months. I just found a pair of shorts in my drawer, size 20, I was a 24, I can't f***in believe it, they fit, they zip, they r tight but I never got these shorts past my thighs before!!!!

Right on, I was told it was about hunger too. This is very hard for me, I allow myself one sip and then wait the 30 min, I guess I just like to sort of clean out my mouth after eating.

Hi, I had my surgery on 8/27 tooooo!! I don't weigh very often, numbers on the scale can really piss me off, one day I've lost nothing, the next day 6 lb's gone. So I pretty much use my clothes to know I am shrinking. I know I have lost at least 38 lbs. of course I want more but now that you point out it has only been two months, sounds awesome. I am 70 lb's from goal, how about you? What kinds of exercise do you do? I am a walker and Water aerobics, planning on getting to a gym real soon.
