Its good to know that I am not the only one that feels like they eat a ton of food. Then again pigging out for me now is a lot different than pigging out used to be for me before surgery. Heck I had sugar free cookie dough, some grapes... and well.. that to me is pigging out. I remember before surgery sitting down and eating a whole roll of premixed sugar cookie dough. Then eating a whole bag of chips. So I figure I'm doing ok I'm looking to get back on track with my eating. I've been a bad bad girl. There goes our honeymoon *cries* Faith 350/214/170 ~love is but the breath of your soul mate whispering to your heart~

Hi I am 8 months post-op and really getting an appetite I am still happy with my surgery but not happy with myself shoving food in me like there`s NO tommorrow. I found that at 6 months out I could eat more, So I guess its true we are all on a honeymoon for 6 months and then we need to watch it.....I am really going to watch it now. Happy thanksgiving to all Janice 231/152/? 5`1

Okay this is one of those TMI (too much information) things. But I have noticed hubby and I do touch in areas he used to float over- if you know what I mean. My sex drive has gone up and down. I do feel more attractive and playful and that helps alot. But there are times I feel awkward in my own skin. I mean really how much more can 2 boobs deflate and still be considered part of the upper torso anatomy! Anyway- sex is better and I actually look foward to what will be different each time.

Before I had surgery, I had never had a low sex drive. Then a couple of months after surgery, it was completely gone for 2 or 3 months. Before I experienced it, I never understood it. If your partner has never had a time when he had no sex drive, he probably will not understand. You can try to explain what's going on, but I am not a jealous person, and I would not have believed it. Especially not for an extended amount of time. Maybe if your doctor has some paperwork on it or you can find something about sexdrive and WLS on the web, he will be more convinced. Good luck. Becky

I walked/jogged 20 miles this week. I know that may sound like a lot to ya'll, but I have been working at this for months, so of course I have more mileage than the rest of the group. And actually, my total hours are not that high. I just added it up and it's at about 5 hours this week. I am so glad that more Marchers are exercising. We are all going to be looking fabulous and toned (under the extra skin!) Becky
