Topic: RE: anyone got the munchies
yea i get the munchies frequently...but thats because im not eating a sit down 3meals like i should be
i do the 100cal snacks...like the choco cupcakes...and the yoddle....the goldfi****s just enough to curb my craving an only 100cals. which isnt bad! i know the dr said if u eat more protein ull feel fuller quicker....so u may wanna try that. Snickers has a protein marathon bar that is REALLLY friken fantastic....kinda gives u that feelin like ur eating sumthin bad for u when its really not bad for u at all. caramel over nut is the way to go! haha ive becum addicted to these lil suckers....but hey its 20gms an taste JUST like a snickers...best of both worlds.

Topic: I've had a hard time, anyone else been on TPN??
My starting weight was 327, I now weigh 199. Most of this was lost in the first 4 months. I had all the tests done and no problems were found, so the surgeon said Im just healing slow.. Im still finding it hard to eat and its been 7 months since the surgery. I was put on TPN (Total Perhipal Nutrition) for 3 months, was just taken off of it the last of January. Im doing a little better now, but still not eating no where near where I should. Am I the only one having this prob????
I was in and out of the hospital for malnutrition, severe dehydration, anemia, etc.. but after the TPN im feeling better but still not eating right. any suggestions?

Topic: RE: Anyone's spouse having a hard time with your weight loss?
I'm the most blessed woman in the world, I think. My husband has been soooo supportive since day one. I know it's been difficult for him sometimes, though. He's 12 years older than me and I think sometimes in the back of his mind he wonders if the same thing will happen this time as last time. His first wife left him for another man after she'd lost a bunch of weight. I have reassured him, I'M NOT GOIN' ANYWHERE. He's my partner, my soul-mate, my best friend, my one-and-only. I can't begin to imagine life without him.
I do understand the fear behind this issue, though.
I think the "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" thing plays a key part in why men don't say outloud what we want to hear. Most times it's much easier for women to express their feelings than it is for men. After reading these posts, I asked my husband, "why do you think their husbands aren't telling them they're proud of them, or that they look wonderful, etc?" He said, "because men just don't SAY things like they should. We tend to say it wrong, or not at all because we're AFRAID we'll say it wrong, or it will come out the wrong way and hurt your feelings." Makes perfect sense to me. If they say outloud, "wow, you look soooo good" or "you HAVE lost a bunch of weight, I'm proud of you" then they feel like we might hear, "wow, you really WERE a blimp before you lost all this weight" or "you look good NOW, but you were unsightly before." When they say what we want to hear, they fear we aren't hearing what they're truly saying. I remember one time Steve told me, "I can say some stupid s**t so be forewarned that if I do, I probably don't mean it the way you take it." LOL covered his bases there didn't he?
Truly, I just think they have a difficult time knowing what to say so they just don't say much at all, if anything.
We can rest assured in our own minds that we've done a great thing for our health and know in our hearts they love us and are proud of us. But DANG IT it IS nice to hear it too! LOL.

Topic: RE: Anyone's spouse having a hard time with your weight loss?
My fiance doesn't say too much either, once in a while he will, but rare. I asked him about it and he said he is proud of me. I think mostly it is cause we see each other everyday. So really you don't notice change so much when you see someone all the time and tend not to say anything about it.
A friend of mine brought over a picture of me from 3 years ago and I showed it to him and he said it is amazing isn't it...the change.
So honestly I think sometimes it is just cause they are right there all the time.
