Dena, I think you are exactly right. So much of what is happening with my weight loss is a head game now. I know I've lost a ton of weight, and I know my clothes are way smaller. I can share clothes...

Love myfitnesspal, and so does my doctor's office.
Just try to remind yourself that many "naysayers" are actually people who love and are concerned about you, and mostly they are people who don't know any better. Smile, let them say their piece, and...
Things haven't changed much for me in terms of pounds loss, which is a little discouraging. I've been exercising pretty hard--working out 30-35 minutes on an elliptical every day plus working with...
I haven't found anything to stop the hair loss, although it has slowed down considerably since my doctor upped my protein intake. I swear I can see a difference after days where I don't get it all...
I haven't really lost much pound-wise in the last little bit, but I'm definitely losing inches. Size 8 pants are sometimes too big, I own a pair of junior size 7 shorts that are a teensy bit snug,...
I SO wish I could go. I love Vegas and I haven't been there in ages! The room rate is great, but the flight is too expensive. :(
It seems like here lately I spend more time on stalls than I do actually losing weight. Just saw my doctor last week, and he told me it was normal and to be expected. He said the closer to goal you...
I quit eating regular sf popsicles, but I LOVED the tropical sf popsicles. I still eat a ton of those. Can you eat sf jello?
Don't know about the drainage site since I didn't have to have a drain, but the large incision is where your stomach was actually removed. Mine was sore for a long long time. I was still having...
I went through a full bottle of Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb. I still love that stuff!
When I had my sleeve surgery, they told me as soon as I was off pain meds I could drive. But when I had my gallbladder removed I had some staples in because the gallstone was so big, and I was not...
You CAN check the IRS website. I forgot to add that earlier. Go to Internal Revenue Service, then click on "Where's my refund?" on the right side of the screen. Then on the next screen find the same...
I drink while I eat, but I drink water only and I really don't do anymore more than wet my mouth just a little. Otherwise I have a hard time swallowing. And I always wait at least 30 minutes after...
The IRS is running WAY behind this year. They are always running behind at the beginning of tax season, but usually by this time around they've worked the kinks out and gotten caught up. This year it...
I did it all. Biotin, nioxin, and now I just picked up a new shampoo that I'm going to try. I got past three months without losing any hair and thought I'd be one of the lucky ones. Then came month...
Good luck to you all! You are about to do one of the best possible things you could ever do for yourself. I'm excited and happy for you all!!
Sunflower, just wait until next fall. The kids and...
I would LOVE a protein pill. Getting enough protein in is still one of my biggest challenges. My surgeon told me that at my current weight I could go down to 40 grams a day, but the bariatric...
So do you! Wow!!
Force yourself to get the protein in. Nothing can completely stop the hair loss, but lack of protein will certainly make it worse. I so wish I'd been better about getting my protein in early on :(
If you take your own pillow, make it a small one. The one I got in surgery was roughly the size of a sheet of copy paper. That's the perfect size to hold in one hand and press against your tummy,...
My parents were none too sure about it either. I told them about it after my first informational meeting, so they had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Chances are your parents are just worried...
Know that it may not be the easiest thing you've ever done, but it will be SO worth it!
And don't forget good socks and chapstick. :)
I agree with what the others have said, and I am so so sorry about your furry child. Hope he's okay. Please update about his condition when you can.
I had surgery early in the morning, used the pain pump the first day. They took the IV out first thing the second day. I had hernia repair too, but the only real pain I had was the upper left...
