Awesome!! Congratulations!!

TMI... Things that are stuck I've been able to get back out by massaging and pressing gently on my pouch.

I remember all of this. Everyone kept saying it will get better but you don't see any end in sight. But they were right, it does get better and it's not that far away. I still have some issues but they aren't nearly as often and I've become accustomed to the little things.

I'm a very private person so I really didn't want anyone to know unless it was necessary. I don't blame you for not telling, it's no ones business really.

At the end of the day there is nothing I can do about how he feels. He just needs to put on his big boy pants and suck it up. The surgery literally saved my life. I had out of control diabetes and now my glucose levels are normal, if I gain weight I run the risk of the levels rising again and that's just not an option.

Yes, I did. But I don't now. I was so sick and in so much pain for so long that I asked my doc to put it back. I've gone from a size 18 to a size 9 almost 7 and I feel healthy.

When I met my husband I was curvy, he says it's what he was attracted to at first sight. I noticed that he really hadn't been saying a whole lot about how I looked now and I thought it was strange but didn't give much thought. When I told him that reached 70 lbs lost, again, not much was said. So I pressed him for his thoughts. Now that I'm a baggy size 9 and feeling healthy he tells me I'm too thin and he would like me to put on 20 lbs. um what? For one, it's not possible to gain weight given the small amounts I'm restricted to eat. And two, why would I want to? I'm mere pounds from my goal weight and the size I was before children. I just can't do it, he'll have accept me the size I am.

I get the feeling, from these forums, certain people believe they know what's best for everyone. It's a bit annoying, I'd have to agree. Give an opinion when it's asked for. I do notice, though, that they don't post their stats. Curious observation. My doc gave me a binder and it doesn't reflect their opinion in any way. Congrats to you and your wife!

Ditto cheese and fruit.

Amazing! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

I thought it was just me. I'm relieved I'm not the only one not tolerating chicken. I don't eat bread much because I'd rather have more good stuff. Like the other day I had a slice of pizza and only ate the toppings, that.was.awesome!

Yup, can't sit still for having to readjust every couple of minutes. Freezing all.the.time but I live in Utah and it's winter, about 35 out right now. I found some fleece lined leggings and bought a pair in every color. I live in them!

I'm a creature of habit so I'm not loving this new site.

Ditto Seela. I think it's more surgery pain than hunger.
