That makes me feel a little better, I am going to the grocery store today because I know I have been a little LAX about what I've been eating because I've been running low on some things and worried about what my husband will and won't eat too. Time for me to get over it though, I think I'm going to go to biglots and pick up extra tupperware and pre-make some salads and have them ready in the fridge.

I am experiencing this too, but come tuesday it will the the week three AND week FOUR stall. Is this common? Ugh.

Yeah, its hard to command respect and get your patients attention turned to losing weight when you yourself are CLEARLY obese. I couldn't even expect them to take me that seriously. It's a major barrier.

fruit and veg = carbs

don't. they harbor bacteria and you are only putting yourself at risk

I am finding that I am more sensitive to smells, and smells make me gaggy. I used to have an Iron STOMACH, poop smeared on the walls - no problem, toes rotting off is no big deal, gunshot wounds? What's for dinner. That is not the case anymore. food smells set me off, body...smells... UGH Lately I have been eating a lot of eggs... well, ONE egg twice a day and that seems to be fine so I just go with that.

lol I'm kind of glad its calmed down naturally. I hate getting sucked into this crap but I am home too much right now with time on my hands so it's easy to get too invested. I got all worked up when they told me I sounded like google... like.... "I'm sorry I know what I'm talking about....... maybe if I used incorrect terminology and antiquated theory I'd sound more legit!" It wasn't going anywhere though so I didn't want to quote and respond again and keep it going. Even saying what I was thinking in this post could be taken as a little bit passive-aggressive but I'm just so tired of being called a liar for not spilling my guts. I don't know if that person is a professional or not (I tend to think not for several reasons but I can't prove anything so I'll let it slide). I just think that claiming all kinds of absolutes about how people should handle private matters is just.... silly.

bahahaha no one is a jerk. dont worry.

I need a beer.

haha its ok, they dont have to edit, I made a mistake and didn't look at what I was reading close enough. This is actually the first forum site I have used and I havent been on here long so the text quoting thing blows right by me sometimes. Totally my fault, no one needs to take down anything to make me look better. I should have taken my own advice and looked at who was being quoted, because even though it was MY post, it wasn't my post.

YES yes, I edited too, I'm an idiot. throw all your tomatoes my direction lol. I can admit when I mess up

Yeah, I edited that post, I was tired and saw my text with his responce, not realizing that he had quoted my text from someone elses quote... if that makes sense. I sent him a PM too.

WOOPS. Thats what I get for staying up for 24 hours. Apologies.

I turned off adblock just to test it out. I didn't have this problem. I think OP may want to run a scan. If you don't have any software download AVG or AVAST, they are free and pretty good.

Yeah, its best not to get sucked into it. A few days ago I jumped into the middle of a back and forth and I really wish I hadn't. Won't make that mistake again. I have been home a lot recently because I am in life transition ATM so its easier to get pulled into... "enthusiastic" discussion.

Thank you. That helps my mind be at ease. Sometimes I still wonder if I did the right thing, because I am experiencing one hell of a stall at only three weeks out of surgery. I just had that guy feeling that my weight WILL matter professionally, whether thats fair or not.

nevermind, I am not a smart woman today.

I think this is true pretty often. There are nasty fat people too but for the most part, especially women who GREW UP FAT usually have to work harder and develop a bit more character because we could never bat our pretty little eyelashes and get whatever we wanted. Now of course, not all thin people had it that easy either, but I am talking generally. Generally the thinner, prettier you are, the easier certain things are going to be. I was afraid I would not be taken seriously as a professional, and its a major reason I had this surgery.

I felt with some of that prior to surgery, I spent a lot of time on this site. There is drama and conflict from time to time here but we all have this surgery in common so I spent a lot of time here reading, and learning. It was a great distraction.

Use google chrome. then get the adblock addon. I never see a single ad - ever. It's fantastic.

oh yeah.

It's no problem, I only wanted to say that because there are tons of threads on this site of people making assumptions so that wasn't something that was meant to be exclusive to you. I like your posts and I'm not looking for conflict.

I have never been athletic in the slightest except for a brief period of time when I was really into soccer as a preteen. Ive never been able to run even a quarter of a mile but I would like to start. Is there such a thing as being to heavy to run in your opinion? I know its not the easiest on your joints but I am 24 years old. I just have no idea how to even approach this. I enjoy nightly walks and would love to just take off but 100 feet from where I started I start to feel as though I am unable to breathe and I have to walk again. Rinse and repeat. I never get anywhere with it.

WEIRD. Are we twins? I am three weeks out and dealing with a UTI from hell as well. I have also been stalled for the past 2 weeks at the same weight. I hear thats normal at week three though. I was advised to try having a higher calorie day to kick my body out of this stall.

Sometimes in life we have periods of intense lonelyness. This may be yours. The question is how much do you need their support? Is your mother your primary means of child care? Are you leaving you child when her when you go? If you are doing this on your own and you are planning on not asking them for anything then I would advice you to proceed with extreme caution and get what you need. If they are giving you money, or doing you other big favors though... It's a little more complicated.
