I just read a post on Facebook that said, "Don't try to explain yourself to stupid people, you aren't the jackass whisperer" haha

When I went a girl came back with only a birth certificate and license.

If it's internal it could be bad gas?

I have to agree with the sex aspect. My husband is 160 pounds and 6 feet tall.

Also I'm 6 months out down 76 pounds. I eat chocolate once a week. Don't look at it as cheating, just living normally!

Oh come on! One french fry?!?! I snag one anytime someone near me has them! Don't beat yourself up! You'll go crazy!

Drinking too much used to cause a horrible pain in my chest. Now I'm 6 months out and can drink like I did before surgery.

I met my husband on MySpace! Good luck! That'd be awesome to find someone who has gone through this journey too.

I wish the snip appointment was on my husband's bucket list :/ I want to visit Machu Picchu Climb a mountain in Colorado Hike in Bryce Canyon and Zion Scuba dive Be able to run Become a nurse

Curry not cyrry lol

Fried anything makes me sick. Rice sits very heavy in the sleeve. I would avoid it for now. I'm six months out now and can only eat a couple of spoonfuls of rice. Also if it was a creamy cyrry that's also very heavy, but I think Chinese curry is liquidy, right?

I had hair loss at about 3 months but I think eating lots of protein, taking vitamins, and nioxin has helped it grow at the same rate it's falling out. Now I'm 6 months out and my shedding is normal. I have a client who had the lapband and her thick hair got really thin. It took about a year but its thick as ever now.

I think hormones cause the sleeve to relax. I'm not sure but it makes sense to me haha!

Wow!!!! That is really harsh. Before surgery, I worked out everyday with minimal weight loss. I've lost 50 pounds 3 times only to gain it back. I have 2 small children, work, going to school to be a nurse, and take care of our home. I think its safe to say I'm far from lazy or pathetic! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this but please don't believe that crap! I thought about you today. Wondering a) where have you been? And have you set a date yet?

Congratulations! I'm 6 months out too. At 3 months my hair fell out more than usual but never got thin. I eat lots of protein, take a multivitamin, and use Nioxin shampoo. My hair falls out a normal rate now. Hopefully, I'm safe! I've lost 75 pounds!

I do when its that tine of month so thise are my days I splurge. It has kept me out of stalls. I eat very good for the rest of the month. When I say splurge I don't mean go crazy but I take in a few extra calories.

Me!!! I've been over 250 for at least 12 years and I'm only 29! I have 21 pounds until 199! I'm so excited!

That's cool, Serendipity. I wasn't trying to start an argument. I've heard the same information from several sources, that was just a quick find that repeated everything I've heard about diet cola specifically. Like I said someone may not know that and have an addiction to it. They may think twice about having another one. Thanks for posting the link!

I've been trying to take a probiotic but its hard to remember with all these pills I have take! I'll ry yogurt too!

What the eff?!?! I have it! Don't know how long but now I'm taking horse pills to get rid of it! Anyone else deal with this post op? Good news is all my Vitamin levels are on point with an overload of B12. Guess I don't need B12 supplements anymore!

I'm applying for the nursing program in the fall! Reading all of your posts has made me very excited! My scores are very high so I hope I get in. Thanks for starting this thread!

People are just putting information out there that maybe someone isn't aware of. No need to get defensive about the facts. Chemicals un crystal light and sf jello doesn't change anything about diet soda which is what this particular thread is about. I'm on my phone so I can't copy the link but for anyone interested, if you Google, "is diet soda better for you" there's a good article by Mark Hyman in the huffington post. I'm not shaking my finger at anyone who wants to drink it, just relaying what I've heard about the subject.

Well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad! I haven't tracked in a week. I feel normal! I don't obsess anymore but I do still weight my protein ( I pretty much have nutritional values memorized) to make sure I'm getting enough. I think for most, tracking is important!!! But for now, I'm not going to.

I started getting nauseous about 4 months ago. I also got an iud around the same time so I thought that was the cause. Maybe it's due to the h. Pylori! I think I've had it for about 4 months. Thank goodness for the gallbladder attack or I may have not found it until something horrible happened!
