Oh my man loves a thick woman too! Now that I've lost weight, he's all over me! He loves me and I think my new found confidence and happiness is what has him even more attracted to me. Plus, sex is a lot better now!

I'm one of those who want to believe but just don't have it in me. I envy those who without a doubt believe in a higher power or don't. I'm lost in the middle. I guess that would be agnostic, right? It's funny ....I used to whole heartedly believe in a higher being but not with organized religion. I read the Bible front to back and lost all the faith I had. I can't control how I feel and it's actually been a very real internal battle with myself. If God is real, has he left me? I love a good mature discussion about religion. It's actually very interesting to hear different stand points. Having an open mind and acceptance is a beautiful thing. Thinking about where we came from, why we're here, and what's beyond us makes me feel like my head is going to explode! Lol

Not sure but my husband's veins can get double that size! He probably has like 5% body fat haha!

Thank you, Laura, TES, and Richard. Today was better. I got most of what I needed to do done. I leave for Dallas tomorrow. It's been hard dealing with this alone since I live in a different city.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I experienced a miscarriage in October of 2011. My husband and I had been trying and after that we stopped trying. Four months later I was pregnant again with my now 11 month old baby boy. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. I hope you find peace and am sending baby vibes your way! Take care.

That's awesome! The first 5 days were the worst for me so hopefully you're in the clear!

Nicolanz replied to joliem6201's topic in Food and Nutrition
I did not cut carbs. I eat rice, bread, tortillas, etc. Today, for example, I had a half of sandwich for lunch and a fish taco for dinner. I've lost 93 pounds so far! -
Are you overheated or just nauseous? Do you eat anything before your workout? When I do too much usually my muscles just don't work to their full potential.

protein shakes..... how long?
Nicolanz replied to Joanna Ortallono's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I can't remember exactly but I think I ditched the shakes around 3 months post op. -
I just typed in gallbladder in the search and LOTS of posts came up! It's very common.

Woohoo! That's awesome!

The doctor always tells me to eat five small meals a day to avoid heartburn. Is it worse on your fasting days? I take a PPI everyday and if I forget, I get really bad heartburn. I never had heartburn before surgery so I guess this is the new normal for me. I'm only 9 months out. Hope it gets better for all of us! Oh and it probably was the spaghetti sauce.

Eeeek! Maintenance. Part two of the battle. I'm not there yet but it makes me nervous the closer I get.

Oh holy hell!!! Looking hot, mama!

You had it 100 years ago?! Bahaha! Good luck with your surgery!!!!

I'm a hairstylist but going to school to be a nurse!

Share your "slow loss" success!
Nicolanz replied to clk's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I've lost 93 pounds in 9 months. I'm perfectly fine with that but I do get a little jealous of the MANY posts about people losing faster. Month 4 I lost 0 pounds and month 8 I lost 0 pounds. Other than those two months, the scale only goes down a week after my cycle. The rest of the month I don't lose. I don't stress or freak out. I view this journey like any other weight loss attempt except I'm not giving up this time and gaining the weight back. But I know even with the sleeve, my body still functions the same way it did before except now I have a smaller stomach. The surgery didn't speed my metabolism and cause me to lose super fast. I don't expect to lose everyday or every week and it's kept me sane. I'm working my sleeve but I'm not obsessing and over working it. I don't see anything wrong with being a slow loser as long as I am a loser -
Any advice on proper form? Also, I have a dominant leg. How can I even them out?!?!

The redundancy topic is also a redundant topic. No disrespect, but I don't think anyone cares what topics annoy you.

A lot of them are high protein or easy to make them high protein. But no filter I don't think ..... the website is a blog someone made. It's definitely worth checking out.

I had no boobs before even after 2 kids and really don't have any now! I look fine in my padded bra and my husband loves my little boobies, so I guess I'll live with them!
