    Re: Need some advice...

    I would be honest. If the guy has a problem with it then he's not "The" guy and doesn't deserve you. Know your worth. If that's why the other guys walked away then they are asshats and it's their...

    Re: Surgery date!

    Taking a spoonful of Braggs apple cider vinegar a few times a day and then rinsing my teeth with water cured my reflux. It took about a month and then it was gone and still hasn't returned. Best of...

    Re: New here. Weight regain

    Everyone is different. Talk to your surgeon about what size he makes your stomach. My best friend could barely fit one scrambled egg but for me as soon as I was cleared for solids I could eat 2 eggs...

    Re: Weight hasn’t budged in weeks?

    I was sleeved in December and I just had a one month stall. It was very frustrating. Even though I continued to feel my clothes getting looser it was disappointing not to see that number go down. I...
