Me too! I don't understand it.

I went through a REALLY ROUGH time about 3 months post-op. I wished everyday that I had not done this to myself. I even turned to this website for help (One person even posted ugly things about me...

I think size is just as important to the ladies as it is to the guys!! Not to mention...the smaller our behinds are, the more you look at them!! :)

I did it too! I think we all cheat every now and then. Your body will tell you what you can't tolerate. I think I tried cottage cheese. It went down ok and I only took a couple of bites. No big...

I am in the same boat as you. I'm 11 months post-op and I've only lost 5 lbs in the last 3 months. So frustrating! Some days it goes up a couple of lbs and others it goes down. Nothing like...

I love it! I cannot stop laughing at John! Too funny! Sounds just like my husband!

You'll loose more, trust me! I'm 9 months post-op and I've plateaued at least 4 times. Crazy right?! I think it happens to all of us at different times. But its like others have suggested...try...

Congratulations, you look amazing!! Isn't it fun buying new clothes now?! :)

I was thinking the same thing!! :)

Great suggestions! Maybe she could sit at a little kid table or your living room coffee table for breakfast/lunch. I would do pull-ups or even change diapers on the couch if you have to. Very...

Congrats on the weight loss, keep it up!! I'm 9 months out and I still have a problem with liquid intake believe it or not. I've found it hard to manage getting in all the protein and the 64 oz of...

I can't remember where I got mine, but right after my surgery I bought a big container of the unflavored powder. I think it was from Whey Gourmet. Then I bought some of those flavored syrups, that...

I started drinking wine about 6 months post-op. But its like Lovin Me said, you do get drunk more easily. 1 glass is plenty! Just be responsible and check with your doctor.

YES!! You are absolutely doing the right thing. I had my surgery done almost 9 months ago and I've lost 75 lbs so far. I did my surgery for my kids (and myself of course!). I needed to be able to...

Lots of luck! You are on your way to a "New & Wonderful You"!! :)

25 lbs. already....that's awesome!! Keep up the good work. You'll always have support on this site. There are SO many people who are going through the same things you are. This is a great place...

Me too! I really miss being able to guzzle a big glass of water.

What are your thoughts on riding a stationary bike for approx 2-3 miles per day vs. various swimming exercises (i.e. jogging in place in the pool, jogging in laps, etc) vs. doing 8-min videos that...

Hi Fiesty,

Yes, I have talked to my doctor(s), both my primary and the surgeon. The surgeon said I'm having too much sugar in my smoothies. I've tried having a Gladiator w/ no fruit and they are...

Has anyone ever regretted getting this procedure done? I'm 4 months post surgery and I'm really starting to have a nervous breakdown. I really thought I was going to feel great after having this...
