Irritability due to hypoglycemia? - I saw my regular doctor this morning (not my surgeon).  I told her I had increased irritability.  She said it is probably caused by hypoglycemia.  Has anyone else been told this...

There are a few things I won't give up - I feel a little guilty for admitting this but I am unwilling to give up: Starbucks Toffee Nut lattes (about 2 per week).  They are 200 calories (non-fat, light or no whip) ...

If I eat 1200 calories - If I eat 1200 calories, the weight falls off. If I eat less, I stall. I may have finally found my magic number. Anyone else eat close to 1200 calories at 7 months post-op? Thank...

Why am I so hungry in the evenings? - Eating during the day doesn't concern me and I don't eat much. By the time 8 pm rolls around I'm like a bottomless pit.  I hate it.  Any suggestions?

Does anyone have one of these handy food warmers? - These look so great!  Load up the mini crockpot and lunch will be warm in a few hours.  I'd really like to try it.  I like that you can leave the warming base at your desk and  ...

Can't believe I waited over 6 months to trick out - I am stubborn!  I know if I increase my protein I will lose faster.  However I hate shakes and refused to drink them.  Today I opened one of my Premier Protein RTD shakes (choco...

169 pounds....oh yeah!!!! - WoW!!!!  Eating more is paying off.  Now that I am trying to get closer to 1000 calories, the weight is coming off again!  24 pounds to goal!

My FAVORITE NSV compliment - Someone at work yesterday said, "Jill, you look so healthy". Doesn't get much better than that. I feel healthy, too. More work to do but a great ride so far.  

Just a minor complaint about hubby - My husband NEVER gives me compliments.  Ever.  It doesn't matter how much I lose, what I wear, a new hairstyle, anything.  He says he "wasn't raised that way".  What way???  Too...

Finally, finally after 6 months - 1.  I am over the "head hunger" mind- fu**.  2.  I finally feel satisfied when I eat a meal.  3.  Making " good food choices" is becoming more second nature.  4. No ...

Calcet Creamy Lemon Bites on manufacturer backorde - I love these!  Does anyone know of a good substitute or if the chocolate is good?  I like chewable...I swallow enough pills as it is. Thanks!

NSV at Lane Bryant - I went to Lane Bryant on Saturday night to get their deal on bras (buy 2, get 2 free).  Anyway, even though they had my size they didn't fit right.  The coverage was too much (c...

60 in 6! - I hit 60 pounds lost this morning!  Can't hardly believe it! Yesterday was 6 months post-op.    

6 months post op - I'll be 6 months post-op this coming Wednesday. When I look back at my first post ( the night before surgery), I really had no clue what I was in for. Nothing went as planned. I...

It suddenly seems attainable - With 29 pounds to go it really seems like I can do this.   

Dear Santa, - Please let me lose 5 pounds by NYE.    

Hunger is beginning to return and it scares me - I knew it was bound to happen eventually. I'm starting to get hungry and frankly, I'm afraid of food. I've eaten very little these past 5 months because I'm not sure how to hand...

I did Body Pump about 8 years ago and loved it. Going to start going...
