    Re: Help, I am stuck

    Have you been measuring yourself, not just on the scale? I was STUNNED by the changes in my measurements (hips, waist, bust, neck, arms, legs.)
  15. Re: Having panic attacks. Surgery schedule April 10th

    You are doing this for you, and it is a personal decision that you have thought over (and over and over). Really, it isn't anyone else's business. I don't understand why people feel free to comment...

    Re: How much salad will I be able to eat?

    Our pre-surgery bellies were too big - the salad would fill them up with a fairly small amount of calories. Now we need the opposite - protein-dense foods to get all our nutrients in that tiny pouch.

    Re: Syntax Nectar - Amazing!
