One of my friends good friends said she was at a stall for 6 months. Om goodness isn't that to long? I've noticed since my last post I'm moving slow but I'm still dropping oz. At least it's something. Ooo and inches. Thanks ya'll for helping me. I thought I was doing something wrong. Sometimes I think my body's just going crazy. Hahaha.

I'm over a month out and I don't eat healthy 100% Of the time. To tell you the truth it's kinda expensive. I'm a snacker. Good thing it's only a bite or 2 of unhealthy. It's really hard. Lots and lots of exercise. In fact I'm so sore today. Lol -

I don't know how she can. A small bite of junk food makes me sick. And I'm scared to death to drink a carbonated beverage. My favorite food were mostly junk and bad food. But now I crave veggies and peanut butter. Your body is so different after surgery. -

Jumped through the last hoop!
carolvalen replied to highdesertblue's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Doctor Juarez was my surgeon. Good down to earth. also got the drink from them. It was to thick for me. I ended up buying a Protein powder from the health food store. I couldn't keep drinking the bariatic advantage. It was like cake batter. P.s. I love St. Lukes. It may be an older facility but the staff are amazing. They took excellent care of me and still do. I get phone calls from my nurse checking on me. Good luck your in good hands. -
We had a 3 birthday weekend here with lots of food. Very hard. I did eat some unhealthy foods. I'm afraid I'm heading down the wrong path again. Now that I've tasted a lot of my favorite food I'm craving them again. Any suggestions out there on how to kick back in line to a healthy restart? Feeling like poop today. Really disappointed in myself.

Thank you so much. Your words are inspiring. I needed to hear that I'm going to get through this and we all make bad choices. I knew it but it feels good to know I'm not alone. Thank you thank you so much.
