    Always hungry!

    I would just take a look at whether or not you are actually hungry, could be reflux, or is it head hunger?
  2. Is she jealous that the attention might be shifting to you, now that her weight loss is “old news”?
  3. Were you honest with her when you talked to her the first time? Mom, at this point my daughter and I can’t have that type of food in the house. Some suggestions of things you can bring are ______.

    Pre-op gym sessins

    I didn’t have any restrictions leading up to surgery. I imagine I could have gone for a run that day, except that I was on a liquid diet and too tired 🤣

    Post surgery MENUS?

    I don’t know if there’s already one, but I’d be willing. To post my daily menus
  9. A couple months, only because the food I could eat was so weird 😂 I tried to find other things to do with friends that weren’t centered around food; shopping, hiking, coffee, pedicures

    Outgrown Clothing

    Donate it to the high school, in the district where I work. Items are given directly to students in need. Feels good
  14. Look into the bypass, one of the best decision I ever made

    Hello all!

    I had to wait 6 weeks for all internal healing to happen before doing any strength exercises. I walked a lot during that time

    Obesity domino effect ?

    I took my kids to the nearby amusement park yesterday. As my youngest was riding the “swings” there was a child (maybe 6 or 7) attempting to ride. Unfortunately he was so large, he couldn’t fit into the chair. After trying multiple times, he finally gave up and sadly left the ride. I saw the heart break and embarrassment in his face as he walked back toward his parents. Sadly, both his mom and dad were morbidly obese as well. I couldn’t help but feel anger and sadness for this child. He didn’t choose this path, he doesn’t grocery shop, prepare meals, etc. At that moment, I was so glad for this tool I was blessed with, I was giving a second lease on life and the ability to teach my children about healthy foods, being active and the importance of loving yourself. As parents it’s our job to do better for our children, I vow to do right by my kids!!!! ❤️

    ❤My Revision Story❤

    OMG i wish I had thought to bring ear plugs! That beast I shared the room with was so inconsiderate...guests in and out, TV on all the time, and talked in he phone non stop. I wanted to smother her with a pillow
  19. I def did not have an endoscopy I did have bypass and my gallbladder removed at the same time. Recovery was easy, I have a high pain tolerance. After about day 3-4 I was back to feeling pretty normal, just tired
  20. Use the heavy scale app, it has great weight loss predictors based on current and overall weight loss

    Favorite underwear?

    These are he best
  23. I lost 16 the first month, sounds like you’re doing fine to me
  24. Honestly, I didn’t tell my kids. Still haven’t. I just felt like putting my issues on them wasn’t appropriate at the time. I do model a new healthy lifestyle and they are participants, however I felt like my obesity had a lot more emotional baggage then they needed to be aware of. Each situation is different and specific to the person and the child
