How many vets are actually AT goal and staying there?
No game replied to clk's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Good Besides I've seen you in person... And there is no way you are obese!! -
And the right girl is out there! I promise at some point in the future you will want to thank your ex for letting you go so you can find the RIGHT one. I know I've felt like thanking my ex numerous times for dumping me so I was free to find the love of my life

Looking real good my friend!

??? Hey Amy I know you and I talked behind the scenes already but I wanted to tell others that a lot of us suffer from depression it really isn't affected by my being smaller or larger it is just part of me.. I do take an antidepressant and have for years I've also tried to stop them more than once but always fell (slowly) back into a depressive state. Don yes my depression usually makes me feel so tired that even taking a shower I would be exhausted afterwards.. I used to say to my therapist "Are you sure I'm just not lazy?" It's a good idea to at least talk to the doctor about these things. Good luck everyone

A size 8??? Coops you've been holding out on us! That's a dream size for me! Looking forward to seeing pictures of your tiny body in your tiny dress!!

Amen to that... Also I was under the impression that most docs would suggest the bypass if you have gerd because the sleeve can make it much worse??

OMG when you get things done you get things done!!! -
It's ok to be scared! I was so stupid I wasn't scared until they wheeled me into the operating room... To late This is a major life change, and not just the surgery part. So it's only natural to be scared or have worry.. It was painful and trust me I was working my pain pump like a drug addict! But it gets so much better every passing hour. And the pain? In the long run, it's nothing compared to the pain of obesity!

Hehehe... That's what I was thinking! See the only thing she did wrong was posting it in a place like Facebook instead of a place like here where people will get the true value of such recipe!!!

Wet eyes 2day
No game replied to NeverBeTheSameAgain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I can say you are right on track... At one month out most of us fell into a depression! As far as not losing weight? Don't fret it's impossible not to if you are doing what you need to do. You may not "feel" it, I never do. In fact I don't feel anything until I step on the scale and it tells me one way or the other. This process is going to take a while. You need to settle into that fact. I know there are SOME people that post crazy losses but not everyone loses that way... I at some point said to myself I'm going to give myself a year, then I will reevaluate my progress. Because lord knows this weight was YEARS in the making! Drink tons of water! Or flavored no calorie Water, at least 70oz a day trust me this is the most important part of this. Measure to make sure your getting it. -
Good job at the calories! I love my spoons of Peanut Butter too I bounced up a pound today not a big surprise! I tell you when that happens it doesn't make me like exercise anymore (honestly I kinda hate it) This is the beginning of my 5th week also My loss is fluctuating between 6 and 7 pounds!! I'm pretty damn happy about that!

The closest I could find... http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/av.htm It says I'm close to average (51 percentile) for my weight and age!!!! -
Yes I woke up in excruciating pain I was not one of those ones that was up and shopping the next day.. It is MAJOR surgery and I think a lot people overlook that. It does get better by the second day the pain was easier managed. But the first hours were hell. Hang tough and give her this strangers love I might also say that I scared the **** out if my husband and daughter when I woke up. Because I looked like the exorcist writhing in pain... When she can get her walking I hated it but it did help. My walk was more like a zombie shuffle but it worked on getting the pain to subside.

A goal; is a desired result a person envisions, plans and commits to achieve a personal or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite I have 29 pounds to go to be at "goal" this number will mean I succeeded at something that I have been used to failing at over and and over again. I'm doing it, but still have a hard time "seeing it"

If you have struggled with compulsive eating, dieting, and the guilt and conflict they bring, your life will be changed by this important, life-affirming, and astonishingly wise book. Anne Katherine, a Certified Eating Disorders Therapist and former compulsive eater, explains the chemical reactions in the brain that work in conjunction with lifelong emotional conflicts to make food—particularly sugar and refined carbohydrates—such a comfort. -

It does get a little harder as time goes by huh? I know that like me you have battled with the addictive quality of food. Remember that book I gave you? It sounds like you are in thick of it with trigger foods It's so hard to break it off once you start back up again. I just came back from vacation where my eating has been less than stellar and I'm having a tough time kicking the Snacks.. But the bottom line is we have to keep fighting this. Might I suggest getting the crap out of the house? Tomorrow make a commitment to get your Water. I use a 32oz bottle and make sure I get at least two of those a day. -

Mine started at 4 months out.. It got kind of scary for a while there because there was so much coming out everyday in the shower! I knew it would happen, my surgeon even has you read and sign a form acknowledging that you understand that this will happen. But it didn't make it easier. It slowed down or stopped at around six months. I seem to be the one who noticed the most. Well except for my family getting sick of seeing it everywhere! But they say it doesn't look much different on my head.. It's still a bit thin I think but getting better... I have really long hair so I don't think that helps. I will say that I had planned on getting those exfusion hair fibers if it got bad, but it never came to that point. What was your question again??
