Hi folks. I was so desperate to lose weight and had (have) such a supportive husband that we agreed to pay the bill ourselves as my insurance didn't cover it. We took out a bank loan and will...
This site is just so wonderful. I need to make a point of visiting every morning, just to get a start on my day. Some of you give me a kick in the pants, some empathize and some offer advice and...

Seeing all of these "gasp!" responses makes me giggle. Everyone is different. Everyone's doctor is different. Every doctor is going to offer this advice and this "no, no." I honestly wish there...
Hi Buggso! If you're asking me, I would say "yes," but you will not be able to eat but maybe a tablespoon's worth. I could hardly get my water in that first week. You all must be healing fast!!! ...

That's air you're breathing in when you drink. Don't use a straw. That only makes it worse. Try to not talk to much when you're drinking.
Hang in there lovies! There is def a lot of pain, both emotionally and physically, but once it's over, it's over. Then you just have to deal with stuff like, overeating, eating the wrong things,...

Kay Black - You are SO right. You are. I've lost 40 pounds since late May and I look like a different person. I tell people I still have 30 to go, and they say "Where!?" I guess I carry my weight...
You all have great ideas! Thank you so much! I actually looked into wrist and ankle weights and they are out of my price range (at Target, haven't tried Wal-Mart), but I'm sure I can find some...
Hi CuriousGeorge!!!! We love "Monday George." That's what my son calls him. :) You are so right! My son. That's what the trainer said to me - he knows I stay busy, but apparently they want me to...

Hang in there HollyB. If you find what works for you, please let us know. My first goal is to get out of these "blahs." BTW, it looks like you are doing amazing. Congratulations. :)
LMBO Exactly!!!! It's nice to hear from someone else who suffers from depression. Sometimes people mean well, from their heart, but most do not suffer from depression - they just want to help,...
Hi Munchin!!! Love your puppy pic, btw. :) I am actually an old pro when it comes to mental illness, so I know what to do, but I appreciate your input none the less. I was originally diagnosed back...
