No game

OMG!! Great job girly! Ok you have me determined to do way better tomorrow!! I I have been sitting at the same weight for too long. Leeann I'm really happy for you!

My hair started at 4 months and a lot came out! But at six months it's stopped. It's still thin but I am hoping it will grow back soon

What other kinds of things can you eat on your pre op?

You are looking good and happy Anna. I'm glad that you ate doing better these days

But did you line up for the free baked goods in the dream?? And did you eat one? Inquiring minds want to know! And don't tell me your pillow was gone after you woke up!

Lemon water and chili pre- op diet??? OMG now I have heard everything!! Up until now I thought the people that had to drink nothing but MILK for a three week diet was the weirdest! But yours takes the cake! Or should I say chili

I can see where a nut would say that... It's good to have fruits and veggies when you are cleared for normal foods, But to juice a fruit you are only getting the sugars without the benefit of the Fiber.. I think that MIGHT apply to watermelon too? But I don't know. On that note I'm 6 months out and just had my first bowl of watermelon last week, it was a tasty treat!

It's safe as long as its comfortable for you.. Lots of people start sleeping on their stomachs right away. I waited about a week or so just because it was uncomfortable.

It was just as much as a shock to him me and everyone...how can someone be doing ok and two weeks later find out they have stage 4 cancer and given two weeks to live! I said my goodbyes yesterday and I'm happy for that because he isn't letting anyone see him like this because he wants to be remembered how he was just a couple of weeks ago.. But he gave in and let me come into his room so I could snuggle and kiss him and tell him that I learned so much from him in these years. For that I am happy I got to kiss, touch and talk one more time with my friend his name is Ken and he will be missed by so many people.

Ok I'm having one of those weird "tight sleeve" days.. Not getting enough of anything in. Calories in the 600's protein 58 grams. I might get a shake in later I don't know.. Oh and the weight ! Nada! Anyone up for a month stall!

We have a place close by that makes CRAZY donuts, with hilarious names ( well until the PC police picketed and made them change some names) So I came downstairs just now and my husband said "oh good your just in time to stop me from finishing this order on groupon for psycho donuts" OMG.... I told him "please don't" and I swear his lower lip pooked out a bit, he told my "oh, ok, it's just that I thought we could bring them on our camping trip (along with s'mores) this week. I am struggling and I had to tell him about the lengths that I'm struggling., I guess I haven't really checked in with my feelings about this for a week or two, my bad. I am not strong enough right now to be locked in a car, with two crazy kids and a dozen donuts. He said well can't you just have one? The sad part is I could and I considered saying ok... Because I want FIVE ... I am sleeved yes but sweets don't make me sick. Hard days ahead my friends... I must find more resolve and work harder at this!

Well if it really is that bad that's it's making it so you can't do the things you want, and you know that you might have to do it again? Then you should be ok doing it! I would think the surgeon would of said no if he thought it was a bad idea..

Uh oh Martin! You better watch out here's your other babies mama

That's an interesting question! What doe the surgeon that's going to perform the plastics, say about it?

Carol you have lost 120 pounds in 6 or 7 months? I'm sure that the Vitamins are ok you've been taking them all along right? And your almost at goal? I wouldn't worry

You need to feed those five point 1 kids??? I'm the one taking care if these kids and I'm still waiting on my check! I know you are just trying to dance so you can meet another sugar mama to take care of you because I threw your skinny ass out!

I want you to know that after you are done healing. You will still be able to socialize and go out to eat with friends! What you are doing is something a lot if us call food funerals... And trust me some of us had weeks of them not just one night. But when you are there, I would say look at the good time you are having with family and friends and know you will still have that afterwards. The food? It will be eaten and then it's gone nothing magical or special comes from it..

I think everything that you have said here are feelings we have all felt along the way! We are breaking up with our best friend our comfort our obsession. And we've done this dance a million times before right? Always to find our way back and feeling pretty low about it and our perceived lack of "willpower" How will this be different? That's a good question. And I think the answer is different for each one of us. Some say that they are finally "satisfied" with small amounts of food. Some say the restriction and consequences from over eating after the sleeve will help "train" them. And some say that this is literally their last chance at weight loss they are going to do whatever it takes to make it work. Whatever it is I know that it still takes work and its not easy everyday. But it is possible and it can be a reality to lose weight and keep it off. Oh and it sounds like you are doing a good job losing weight pre op.. I read that you are going out to dinner with family and friends? For one last big meal? Is the occasion especially for one last meal?

You are right. I feel better just getting a couple of productive things done today. It's funny I didn't "overeat" yesterday, as a matter of fact my calories were low along with low protein. But I still get the guilt that's comes wanting to overeat. I mean I don't binge anymore but I still feel that inside me so even though I don't, I feel like I did. I wish I could explain it. I need to think on it more.

Oh punching bag good idea! My son has one I'm going to hit it a few times and see how I feel! Role model? Ok now I think I've been called everything on this sight! I'm not a role model... You know what I think? I think everyone of us is! We are all working everyday to better ourselves and also learning about others and trying to become better people! I'm so glad that all of us are there for one another. It makes the challenging days a little easier
