  • Oh dear! Please don't talk like that about yourself. I am a firm believer that you should love your body no matter how much you weigh. I'm willing to bet that if you continue to eat well (and 1,000 calories per day is not nearly enough), and get your exercise the weight will come off. At 1,00 to 1,200 calories per day your…

  • Have you had your thyroid checked? It seems to me (but I'm no expert) that if you are taking in the same number of calories but gaining weight that something is amiss.

  • It used to bother me, but then I remembered I am supposed to eat very slowly. Chewing each bite 20 times seems to help the time pass while others seem to be in a race. Don't let others get to you. Remember why you had the surgery and that you are eating out to socialize.....:smile:

  • Depending on your age and skin's elasticity, it may be that the only way to truly get rid of excess skin is to have it surgically done. That being said, if you are young (35 and under), and if you lose weight slowly, your skin should have enough elasticity to bounce back in time. Spanx are a wonderful invention for…
