@@Coachthex32 Whoop whoop... Coach. When that happen, it does make you sit back and say...Wow, did that just happen. And then you notice the smile on your face. I know you would never pursue that, but just be aware that that will happen more and more... People with notice you and more so you new found confidence. People are attracted to confident people no matter what they look like. For me that feeling became intoxicating and dangerous..... so be mindful... Keep up the great work you chick magnate you.... hehe

@@kharenzhee Do you open the bag and eat directly from it? Reason im asking..... I found that if i open bag and only take out one portion... close it up and put it away i avoid over eating. I do that with a lot of stuff.... I sometimes go as far as eat one bite.... and throw the rest in the trash... Or buy the 100 cal bags. that helped me

im going to state the obvious.... you are a very lovely young lady and if you start to walk with that beautiful smile on your face every where you go.... people with flock to you. People want to hang with happy fun loving people..... So be that happy fun loving person..... Show off that smile

@@mizzjen What do you think is the reason you gained it back? My very good friend Jenny had the GB in 1999 and lost a b*tt load of weight.... Went from 24 down to a size 4. Over the last couple years she is putting the weight back on. She is one of the most beautiful women inside and out, but I can see that she had sunk into a depression of sorts. She won't go out or even talk on the phone at times. We have had talks about what's going on, and she can't seem to get a grip on what she is doing and it is definitely spiraling out of control. As her friend i want to be as supportive as i can be.... but i'm afraid i'll hurt her feelings and make her more depressed....

Studies show after year 4 there is an expected regain as your body normalize to the drastic loss.Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Only 5-10%. My hubby gained 20, but still felt good under 200 so and he's kept the rest off for 10 years. We have TOTAL AND COMPLETE control of that. Don't think we don't. I agree with Babbs 100% on both replys. I had put back on 20 at about year 4 i think.....and when my jeans didn't fit... that was a sign to me to get my a$$ back on the wagon. I put myself in Check and lost that 20 and 20 more... So it can be done... if you want it bad enough.

It's about standing up for ones self. If everyone had a.... just let it go attitude then these people will continue to think there behavior is acceptable. And it's not. People should be able to speak with a manager about goods and bads. A manager should take all comments and use it as a tool to improve where things need to be improved and remember the good things also

I'm so glad SOMEBODY finally stated the obvious!! I used to own a restaurant also and this kind of customer gave me a headache just seeing them walk in!! Seriously people, double dishes, double Water, double sides etc. $3.00 is cheap! And for the manager spoke to you like that at the restaurant, something else was said! No manager starts out a conversation rudely to a customer unless some other incident or words proceeded it. This was not about the $3 bucks..... it was about TREATMENT.... Well i never "owned" a restaurant... but i surly worked in quite a few in my early years.... over 16 for sure... then i also did private catering.... I have seen on a number of occasions a "manager" or "owner" start a conversation rudely.... I had this happen to me About 5 years ago i went to one of the only Thi restaurants in our town... one of which i know and worked with the owners husband... Frank (worked together for 5 years). Went to pick up my order that i called in when i got there i was informed that i couldn't pay with my debit card because the order was under $5 bucks... I said can you just charge me the $5 and be done with it... the girl said no. This meant i would have to leave, go 10 min away to the bank, get out $20, then go all the way back and pay the less than $5. Now remember, Frank.. well frank was most always there in the evenings helping his wife. My intent was to ask frank if i could give him the $5 the next day at work and he could give to his wife...Easy peasie..... (This was not un-commend, he would always take orders at work, bring the food, we would pay him and he would give her the money the next day) So i asked the young lady if "Frank was there"...... she left and went to the back and all of sudden his wife comes storming from the back and started yelling at me that ..... This was her store and that frank didn't "own" it and told me to get out of "her" restaurant and don't come back..... IN FRONT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS... I was horrified.... so i left and never went back. But i did write what happened on there FB page.... She then attacked me on the FB page. Thank goodness i was not by far the only person she had done something like this too...and others came to my aid. I talked to Frank about it and he apologized, and i of course didn't take it out on him.... I mean i didn't even get to tell her what my intent was and why i had asked for Frank.... she just yelled at me and told me to get out.... Now would I have done this in another store... NO, i would have just said... ok, sorry, cancel/keep the order and left. I mean it would not even bothered me to be charged the $5... but she wouldn't hear of it.... but a year later they were under new ownership..... My close friend tracy happen to be on the phone with me when she came from the back and started yelling at me.... and said.... I don't know how you didn't go off on her..... I said... to be honest she caught me off guard... and i was so embarrassed that i just wanted to leave as fast as i could. So YES.... people do act that way from the "get go".....

Mine was never supportive.... I'd say... going on a diet... he'd say... can you stop and buy US a pie/cake/icecream etc. Didn't get any better after LBS either... I know he wasn't the one that needed to lose weight... but it would have been nice to be supported and encouraged. Suggestion: When he starts eating the bad crap in front of you... Walk away and go in another room or go walk outside. if your in the car.. turn the music up loud and sing to the top of your lungs... When he ask why.. then tell him. Mine would say... OMG do you have to sing...(I can't hold a tune in a bucket)... I'd say, well do you have to eat that in front of me.... he'll get the point... or ear plugs... hehehe

@@reree6898 Well one can say what they want.... doesn't make it true. It's hard to believe he doesn't. What does your gut say......

in your reply to "theantichick".... you said you were going to wait to see what the response was and attitude... how is that diff from holding on to info till you get yours..... basically you said ... if you don't like there attitude you were going to contact HIPPA... I see it as the same... The office or facility will of course send her the info she requested for herself. WLS is talking about ensuring that they take the HIPAA violation seriously and seem as though they're going to self-report, not about holding on to the other patient's info in case hers doesn't come in the mail. Big difference. i reserve the right to disagree...

@@reree6898 thats really sucks.... is he already with someone else? You are a beautiful woman and only getting better.... I just know from MY experience.... we did have issues and i told him, but he didn't hear me. till it was too late

@sunsetsue @Fredbear @KindaFamiliar Everyone knows there are 3 sides to a story..... His.. hers... and the truth. Dub....he didn't leave her right before xmas.... he left over 5 months ago. Not that it makes it better. But, I have a hard time be leaving that there was NO signs of problems.. I bet if we were to ask him... he would tell a diff story. My husband and i separated 6 months ago and i know i told him on a number of occasions that i was not happy and that things need to change. He chose not to hear me and on the day i told him.... it hit him like a sack of rocks. He told me.... i know you told me you were unhappy, i chose not to hear you. I still have times where im very emotional... after all Dec. 16 was our 26 year anniversary. So i do understand. Even though im the one that asked.. it is still hard to let go sometimes. I would say to you @@reree6898 keep your chin up and keep say.... this will get better... i will prevail.

@@LittleBill Ok Bill... i know the temptations are allllll aroud you.. stay true and on the right path.... You can do this... LOL..

I like that very much....
