Am I the only person who is loving the skinny sex!?!?!?!

So exciting! You are doing great.

1) I feel great. I am able to hike, bike, kickbox and Zumba for hours without losing steam. I can keep up with my kids' activities without sweating excessively or feeling like crap the next day. 2) I can shop in any store. I look great in size 6/8 bottoms and medium tops. Taking my girls back to school shopping was more fun than ever because we could all try things on. Shopping has never been so much fun. 3) Skinny sex. No further explanation needed.

Going the self pay route, I assume?

I often think the word "bullying" is thrown around as a kind of power play. It's almost like a "who can say it first" game when a conversation gets heated, and it's honestly ridiculous. Other words that come to mind that are similarly used are "gang", "group mentality", "clique". If you don't like what you are reading, skip it. If you don't like a certain poster, block them. It's easy.

It's sad to me that people consider relationships outside of their marriage, especially without communicating your needs first. It's not fair to yourself, your spouse or the person with whom you enter the relationship, even if it's just for sex. I am not at all opposed to divorce, nor am I opposed to my husband finding a girlfriend if he feels that he would be happier elsewhere. I just feel that you need to step out of one relationship before entering another. That's a must.

I am one of the jokingest, non PC people you will ever meet. Making light of what can be considered a sexual assault is not funny. Please do not tell me to lighten up. If you think it's funny, so be it. I refuse to laugh at a victim of such behavior.

Yeeesh! This type of statement makes me so sad. From reading this thread, it seems that some women went into the "affair" with him, eyes wide open, looking for a little fun and were not at all hurt by it. The other women, also consenting, read so much more into it and were hurt very much by what happened. Either way, no one has said these "affairs" happened without consent and because of his position, I consider them all victims, no matter which category they fell into. To joke about them becoming what amounts to a carnival side show is not at all funny, IMO. It runs along the same vein as "sl*t shaming" and that's not acceptable.

For me, week 3 was the big turn around. Hang in there. You'll be fine.

A decaf skinny latte. Protein from the milk!

You can "back to school" shop at the same stores as your super skinny teens and make the clothes look great.

Can you see my jazz hands??

I love hot. The only drawback I see is my inability to drink anything while eating or for a good 45 minutes after.

I respectfully disagree. Again, this person joined before the debacle so it's unfair to accuse them of such. I'd much rather err on the side of kindness rather than unfounded suspicion. Benefit of the doubt and all that jazz...

You are too kind. I'm so excited for you as you start your journey!

I carry beef Jerky or almonds in my handbag. I also carry a mini cooler with an ice pack and cheese sticks or turkey and avocado roll ups. There are mini cans of tuna or chicken available, greek yogurt in tubes, mini Protein shakes... Lots of great options!

Look at that backyard! Wooooot!

Woah Nelly! No reason to judge someone based on how many posts they have. While your accusation *may be* true, your logic behind it is unfair. Lots of people lurk or join after surgery. The person above you joined before this debacle started unlike some of the other supporters, so I think you are being unfair.

A proberly sleeved stomach will not stretch like an unaltered stomach. The fundus, or the stretchy part, was cut out, leaving the muscle. There is a bit of fundus left that can give way a bit and the initial swelling will go down enabling most people to eat more at a year out vs. 6 weeks out, but there is no significant stretching.

Oh my gawd!! I would love to have your arms!! Are you kidding me? Great job!! Don't let the asswipes bring you down. Here is me doing my first Rugged Maniac!! A huge accomplishment for this former fellow fatty. I'm registered for two more, too!

If you didn't do it yourself, who did it for you?

I only eat full fat cheese. It tastes better and the fat keeps me satisfied longer. I eat so little, a few extra calories from cheese won't hurt me.

Hell to the no. I look great in clothes, not so awesome naked. Before I looked not so great either way. Added to that, I'm healthy. Win!
