Dr. Robert Bledsoe - Southlake, TX - did a bilateral breast reduction/lift for me a week ago. 100 covered by insurance. Didn't need pain meds after first day. His closing technique leaves no...

I'd start asking them about their sex life. ;) "Since we're talking about personal issues. How's your sex life? Too little?"

Seriously, this is a boundary issue borne from love and likely...

Dr. Robert Bledsoe did a bilateral breast reduction on me. I am very pleased with the results as is my husband. I'm a little less than a week out so there's still lots of healing going on but this...

I still have restriction which means I can still feel the limits of my sleeve and have not stretched out my stomach. =)

Jasper, I do not regret having this procedure as it gave me a physical and emotional jump start I needed to lose weight and stop making excuses for not living my life. Any weight loss journey is...

It is hard to believe that it has been 3 years since my GS on Nov 1st, 2011. Since that time I lost 60 pounds. I stopped losing weight about a year in. However, I did not stop gaining non-scale...

About a year ago I hit a stall - hormonal and simply my body got used to eating 1200 - 1400 calories a day. I haven't really lost any more weight since that time. A few weeks ago my size 2 teenage...

Reviewing your stats it looks like you had 75 pounds to lose (going from *** to 145) and lost 81% of that so far. Statistically speaking losing 50-70% of your pounds to lose in the first year is...

If you can, take the two weeks off. This will give you enough time to rest and properly recover "just in case" things don't go as smoothly as desired.

For me, I had surgery on Tuesday, reacted...

Between my thyroid issues, a reaction to the stress of general anesthesia and then the dietary changes from gastric sleeve I did experience some thinning. I choose to opt for a shorter hair style to...

I add Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper and some Garam Marsala (Indian spice blend) to most of my recipes.

During the last 8 months I've also battled some serious "female" / cycle issues. I just had a heated saline ablation done last week to hopefully stop the 18 out of 28 day periods. This (along with...

I approached my one year sleeve anniversary on 11/1 with disappointment. I didn't reach goal in a year. In fact, I have only lost a surprisingly "low" amount of only 60 pounds. This is roughly 55%...

Miss you! Praying for you and your divorce. So proud of you, John!

Lee Ann, as a thyroid cancer survivor and a gal who was hypothyroid for about 15 years I'm more inclined to believe that low thyroid or low iron levels are at play here. Something to note, even when...

I wrap mine in ham slices. Today I put one inside of a flour tortilla with a slice of ham and an egg. I spread them onto celery. The Light Swiss is my favorite! =)

Thank you, Grace! Maybe I need to revisit this need to get things "just right" in a few months and a few more pounds lost. ;)

In one of my Nutrition classes at college the professor gave a formula to calculate how much RDA of protein a person needs. I had not seen that formula before and wondered what you all thought.

I know we've tossed the idea out there a few times with no real plans made but anyone want to get together?

The more I look in the mirror the more plastic surgery looks better and better of an option to remove excess skin, etc.

Anyone had the Mommy Makeover or similar procedures done recently? What...

I use sub-lingual B12, 5000 mcg from Spring Valley. It is OTC and found at Wal-Mart. My levels are ideal on blood work.

Congratulations! :)

Although I have not regained weight I have not lost the weight that I thought I would lose. Everyone seems to be happy with my loss-to-date except me.

Most of my friends are surprised to learn...

I've never struggled with people eating around me. So maybe this won't be a problem for you? Not sure about others but I am not really hungry so food literally has become more about getting the...

Misty,
I read your post and am angry and sad for you. Your fiance is pathetically insecure and self-centered and honestly, that is not the caliber of guy you want in a relationship as he won't,...
