How long did it take you.....
I have been trying to pay more attention to my friends list and those of you that have had weight loss surgery. I have noticed many of you have lost within in a year what it took me two years to do.

Liquids and eating RYN
Ok, my main doctor left town when I was almost a year out, not nice of him, right? What have you been told about drinking fluids? I was told not a half hour before or 45 minutes after. I have read 15 minutes before two hours after. I have read water load up to 15 minutes prior by consuming as much water you can gulp down…

I get compliments frequently about my weight loss. It is usually followed by the person adding in "I could lose about 40 lbs myself" , "I know I am over weight, but I am happy", etc .........It seems to be followed by a negative statement about the person giving the compliment. It makes me feel bad. I don't know what to…

500 Days on MFP!!!
Who would of thought I'd be on some silly fitness site for 500 days! Certainly not me! I first started using MFP for calorie counting and was using it from my smart phone. It was simple and easy to track calories with such a large food base. Now MFP, is a part of my daily routine. I can't imagine my new life style and…

Is it ok to be honest with strangers???
I work in a retail floor covering business. I have a regular customer who comes in weekly to buy carpet samples. She is over weight, she knows this because we have talked about my weight loss before.

Healthy Fats
What exactly are "healthy fats"??? I am sure this has been covered before. I scrolled through the forums but didn't see anything right away, and I am feeling a little lazy to continue my search for "healty fats" I am assuming like the fat in all natural peanut butter and nuts would be considered "healthy fats". I am also…

You Cheated! I lost weight the "Natural way"
Ok, I don't hide the fact that I had barriatric surgery. It was something that was a last resort for me and recommended by my family doctor of 12 years.
