Unfortunately I had little choice in the matter. It was either have the LASIK or go the rest of my life buying new glasses every 6 months because of my astigmatism. I also had the ICL surgery before the LASIK to correct the astigmatism, I had to wait like 6 months between surgeries so my eyes could heal.

I had LASIK done last summer and frankly it ruined my night vision. I get halos of light, starbursts, and double vision in my left eye whenever I'm in low light or looking at something dark like a movie. Apparently lots of people get this problem post-surgery but doctors write them off, and mine's done the same he claims…

Sisters. A mildly confusing film that starts off as a person trying to solve a murder and ends up talking about Siamese twins and how/why they were separated. It was okay, not anything I'd watch again.

I'm on both bipolar medication and an antidepressant. I have been for years. Once you know how your body reacts to the medication, whether you're more hungry or not, whether you retain more fluid, etc then you can get on track with weight loss. In 2012 I was able to lose 60lbs while on my medication. It took a lot of…

Considering her nonsense is, ultimately, costing the company money, if your boss won't be firm and consistent with her maybe you should tell him you're ready to take it above him. Not as a way to be mean to him, but someone has to set this woman straight and KEEP setting her straight or else the company suffers. And…

My problem isn't the cravings because I wasn't eating a very high carb diet to begin with. My problem is I feel like my food choices are that much more limited because I don't eat a lot of vegetables and having the same thing several days in a row gets frustrating for me. I'm stuck eating nothing but meat and vegetables…

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was worried about no carbs as I wasn't sure how my body would react and it seems I'm still getting over not having them in my diet anymore. It's not too hard and I believe in the long run it'll get easier for me to not crave them as badly. I just wanted to know if the dietician was…

How dare the issue that no one was there to supervise not be addressed. Then again who's to say a blind eye wouldn't have been turned anyway? As someone who was bullied too, I congratulate your kid for laying down the law with his bully. Maybe now that kid will think twice about messing with him. That Principal's a joke.

Why is Peter Pan always flying? He Neverlands. I love this joke, it never grows old.

"Chick with a d*ck" My best friend's mother liked calling me that. I have PCOS and as a result I have a deep voice for a female so she always called me that because of my voice, and the fact I have had short hair since I was 11. I've also been told that no man would ever love me because I was fat. By my father, no less.

Though it's only 16g protein per scoop I like the Muscle Milk Red Velvet Cake. It's like having a little dessert every morning.

I think you read something wrong. My goal weight is 130lbs, I'm currently 375lbs.

I'm not looking for any validation of this woman is wrong, I'm asking for help because I'm questioning whether she's indeed right or not. Please don't make assumptions about me as that's rude. And I'm well aware you can regain the weight after surgery, the first thing they tell you is "this is a tool, not a cure." I'm…

Gonna bump this up for the morning crowd, get some more opinions.

I did try, for years and then in 2012 I joined here under a previous account. I lost some weight but my body stalled and I gained everything back and then some despite eating well and exercising. I also have PCOS which hinders my weight loss even more. This surgery is basically my last resort.

Yep, none whatsoever. That's what got me to questioning what she said. The no starches thing I could understand to a point but I've read before that carbs aren't the bad foods we think they are and all in moderation.

I didn't ask her to clarify. What I've been told is when I eat post-surgery my proteins must come first, then the veggies or whatever else I'm having since I'll be getting the sleeve and I'll only have a quarter cup of stomach room to work with. I read a manual put out by another hospital for weight loss surgery patients…

In 2012 I lost 60lbs but then my weight stalled and even though I was still eating clean and exercising it started to go back up. Eventually I gave up and just resumed old habits and gained 100lbs in a year's time. Ended up having serious issues with my body so I started up again to do it right. I think this time around I…

I have DDDs and I can manage to go and work out. If she really hates her chest that much she can have reduction surgery, otherwise put on your big girl panties and suck it up.
