Mine fell out drastically for about 2 months then stopped as fast as it started. It's been growing back for a while now and is most visible around my hairline. The short hairs are obvious to me...
Good luck!
Wow, your honesty with those raw, real feelings is quite refreshing. I'm not sure I've seen someone write it quite like I felt it, as you have. It's probably more common to feel that way than either...
Nice to hear Dwayne! I too have had some increased success at work. I attributed mine to my improved attitude and increasing confidence with weight loss. It is easier to feel confident when you feel...
Okay - I just reread the OP. I originally saw EASY, not LAZY. Lazy would have annoyed me. Lazy is just insulting.

I think I must be the odd one out then. This was the easier path to healthy for me. It was also the smarter! Yes it involved life risking surgery and yes it does impact on my life to a certain extent...
A quarter of a cup of thick liquid was very filling for me at that stage. You don't need volume at the moment, just quality and the right texture (eg: smooth). I'd say you were spot on!
You look happy and confident. What a great result! Smokin hot bod too! ;)
For about 2 minutes a week I miss it? For the rest if the week I adore being slim and able to move! Being normal sized and able to eat small portions of anything is better than my wildest dream. :)
What are you scared of? The surgery? If so, consider how you'd feel if you had to have your spleen removed because it was slowly killing you. Would you even think twice? I wouldn't, but I did doubt...
I can fall back into old habits and "think" I am hungry but almost always I'm not so hungry that two bites of anything won't cure it. I usually try to have two bites of a solid protein like beef or...
Try some yoghurt & SF custards or refried beans smooshed up well with avocado and extra light sour cream. I couldn't tolerate the shakes for very long. Just take it slow when you introduce new foods....
The protein shakes gave me the runs! Day 6 I wasn't more than 2ft from the toilet without being scared! I added plain sweet Greek yoghurt into my diet and it was almost instantly fixed. I just...
If you feel significant physical restriction when you eat, are eating less than 1000calories daily and are doing some form of regular exercise then you WILL lose weight. You just need to be patient....
I'm 41 and I wish I'd done it years ago too but I'm making the most of it now! It's such an amazing thing to look 'normal sized' and I wasn't morbidly obese when I started. 20 years of failed diets...
Eggs - because everyone said they'd taste amazing and they were craving them. I was craving anything but liquid. Eggs were so-so. I had half a poached egg and cried because I was full but not...
It does get easier. You get used to it after a while. I used distraction therapy. At the start, I refused to sit at the table and watch people eat after I had finished. It just frustrated me. Now...
Welcome, from a fellow Aussie. :) I'm 6mths post-op and life is pretty much back to normal except I eat less, weight less and feel better than I have in a long, long time. The one thing I've found...
Loved this- so funny! Tinman is a good guy. He's just a no bullshit, tell it like it is with no sugar coating kinda person. You want a truthful opinion? He's your go-to guy. Don't hate his passion,...

6 months down the track it has far exceeded my expectations. It's only gotten better as time has passed. I know earlier on (around 1-3 months) I was up and down on whether or not I liked it but...
I know that feeling and I wish you the best of luck for a smooth procedure. I'm on the other side of that point now and let me tell you, it feels more wonderful than you can imagine. The only...
What an inspiration!
Less of you = a healthier you. If healthy means having extra skin then I'm all for healthy! If, down the track, you decide the extra skin is annoying enough, you can have it removed. Just get healthy...
Literally - go with what feels good. Stop before you feel uncomfortable. Do not force your self to eat more (at 2 weeks out) if it feels wrong. As long as you're hydrated and eating SOME protein...
