Hello My Name is Melissa and it has been 9 days with out carbs LOL

Ok, now that you are here, Sorry I have not been on much but my computer was down for 2 days , but I am back now. LOL Things are a changeing with me how about you? 1st I want to munch all day long and if I am not busy, I will. So to keep my mind off munching, I sew, crochet, knit (just learning), and read the message board. Do you do the same? 2nd Sex was always important, but now, OMG! And it is GREAT! 3rd I find myself making the right choices! OMG! before I would eat a bag and half a chips for breakfast, have my DH bring me FFood at one am. Not any more. What about you? 4th I am proud of me, I love me, and I am working for a health, happy and hopefully (in 18-20 monthes) a MOMMY! Ok, tell me what you think! Melissa

Hello Melissa, 1st I don't feel hungry but find myself thinking about wanting something to eat. Just to eat I guess. 2nd Sex..is still great..my weight never interfered with that..lol 3rd I find myself making better choice..I don't always make the right choice..but I atleast thinking about it now. 4th I'm proud of me and love me.. I am healthier no more diabetis and I am happy for the most part.... I do find that right now I'm a lot more sensitive to what people say then what I used to be..and my husband thinks they may have operated on some part of my brain while they were at it..LOL I tend to forget things more now then I used too...Not sure what's happening there. Good luck on the mommy part!! Anna

Hey there girly, Okay let'**** these one by one.... #1.. I grab a bottle of water if I get hungry...it curbs hunger great. #2..My poor hubby....our love life has tripled since surgery. He walks hunched over...I walk bowlegged. #3...I hate horribly preop. I got to the point that I couldn't get full anymore. I was left wanting more after eating a super sized value meal. I remember being so unsatified with meals. Now I am all about nutrition...if it doens't meet MY standards...it's not crossing my lips #4...Wow...a baby; that's exciting to plan. I'm still up in the air for that one. I too am very happy now. It shows too. It takes so much more to get me angry now. I used to be a time bomb. Dawn

Hi Melissa!!!! 1. I'm feeling my hunger come back- not good! But today, instead of eating, I grabbed something to drink... did pretty well! 2. Sex- um, never had it before, so not the best to answer this question he he 3. Pre-Op, I was the human food vacuum! Eat a pizza for lunch and then sometimes another for dinner. Same with Macaroni and Cheese.... a whole box was so yummy to me! 4. I like me now too! A baby?? I'm not sure about it yet, maybe in a few years when I am married- yes that is an option for me now! I'm so excited!

Ok, first of all I agree with Dawn, water definately helps curb the hunger...I also try adding something new instead of the old standby food if I get upset, etc. like exercise, walk, or reading.. Secondly.... Dawn change positions....It'll help his hunched back, and as for me.... no partner as of now..... (thats it ladies, rub it in....) LOL Third ... Good choices as well....thinking more about what goes in this body of mine. Fourth...Today I AM happy with my health etc....but no more babies for me. Mine are 22 and 24....But good luck with your hopes for becoming one...it is an amazing experience... Anne

LOL..I was kidding about the hunchback. Just trying to clarify the intesity and frequency has gone through the roof

No you didn't, mine was gone before surgery and hasnt come home yet....I feel like yeah whatever, are you done yet??? LOL Steph

Hi Melissa 1~ When I want to munch, I go outside to take a walk or work in my garden. I also grab some SF Koolaid. It feels me up. 2~Sex is Awesome and frequent now!! 3~Yes I make way better choices now. 4~I am very proud of myself for taking responsibility of my life. I am so much happier now! I LOVE my life. Take Care Kay

Hi! 1) I grab water if I feel hungry and drink at least 8 oz before I think of food as a solution. 2) Sex - my hormones are thru the roof and I am ready to take down strangers on the street. Have not had any in way too long and that soon needs to change!!! 3) I was really into nutrituion and healthy eating pre op, the two months before surgery I was nutritious but also ate anything and everything I could see/think about and get my hands on. I felt really awful, emotionally and physically. Being back in control is so powerful to my psyche. Babies - see the problem outlined in #2. I enjoy my nieces and nephews - and giving them back to their parents. I'll be 40 later this year and have pretty much given up the thought of ever having children. But good news for you and I hope it all happens for you!!!!

1st The hardest thing for me right now is not wanting to eat the right foods and wanting to eat carbs. I am tired of protein and don't want to follow the food plan. I have a bad attitude. 2nd It more than sex> I want and crave love, compansionship, sex, a deep meaningful relationship with a man 3rd I am trying to make the right choices sometimes I fail and want to give up. I keep reaching out and trying to make it one day at a time. 4th I don't like me but I hope someday I will.
