I agree with all that have voice their opinion here! Please do not give your doctors, lawyers anyone with any remote influence that kind of power over you! This is your time and your opportunity for re-birth! You get to write the next best chapter in your own story so don't give ANYONE your purple crayon! (Please read…

I started my journey just months before my 50th birthday! I had a wls because I would gain 100lbs, loose 90 lbs, gain 70lbs, loose 60 lbs until I lost my Mom in 2010. Then I just gained it all until I was at my highest, 299! I started in May and with diet and exercise, down 116 lbs. (I joined MFP after I started losing…

I totally feel you. I put weight on to 'cope' with things I could not cope with. Food was my friend and weight gain was the result of my terrible dependant relationship with food. Both friends and strangers could see the weight gain on my journey. Some could talk to me about it as they were comfortable, some could not as…

I have a light cleaning routine. I don't count that. When I have a truly heavy-move-furniture, mop&bucket, up-down-up-down-up-down doing laundry, clean both bathrooms, change bedding in al rooms cleaning day, I count it. Because I am moving. Constantly and it all counts. I walk the dog for a mile, it counts. I walk the dog…

I use califlower as substitute for rice in any dish that calls for rice. Just better for me. The califlower forks up or breaks up to act like rice.

I agree with the others that have posted here! Ya gotta hava a game plan and a little grace (for self) goes a really long way. Work out, do whatever you have been doing to be the success you have been. You are obviously on the right track. But allow yourself this treat, this indulgance, if you can. My two cents says, If I…

Like Pawoodhull, I was sleeved October 2012! Best decision I ever made for myself. I do belong to the VSGers but got great support and information from www.verticalsleevetalk.com and www.obesityhelp.com. Just remember ~ this is a weightloss tool in your tool box, not a magic wand. That's why MFP works so well. You can and…

So much advice had been given here. You said you had a recent surgery. Call your Dr's office and if you don't talk to him/her then talk to the PA and tell them what is going on (or not going on, as it may be). I agree with JennKie1, if okay with your Dr's office, take colease (not spelled right, I know) or miralax. But by…

I was at 299 for my consult. That was my highest weight. By the morning of my surgery October 2nd, I had met my personal goal of 20lbs gone. I have lost an additional 50 lbs since the surgery and have 70-80 to go. My Dr has not given me a goal weight but like so many here believes I can get to the 150 range. I am walking…
