Restaurant NSV and Ticker Love - I went out to lunch with my mother yesterday and we were sat in a booth. I expected to have to squeeze in and be uncomfortable with my belly against the table and my boobs pract...

Aww, man - I think I've hit my first stall. I'm 10 weeks out and have only lost 1/2 a pound in the last week. I was starting to think that I'd magically avoided a stall somehow. Grr. I gue...

NSV in the mirror... - While brushing my teeth this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw something I haven't seen in a while. Collar bones! I was like, "Well, HELLO there!"

Chai Tea Latte... PROTEIN SHAKE?? - Ok, one of my vices for a while now - not since surgery, but definitely pre op - has been the Chai Tea Latte. There was an AMAZING little coffee shop on my route to the school I...

The "What have I done?" moment and break - I'm reposting this from yesterday. I originally posted this as a comment to a thread about another OH member's "What have I done?" moment. I got a few responses that said that i...

Anyone else scared to try on clothes? - It's so strange, but I'm scared to try on clothes for fear that, even though I'm almost 20 pounds down since surgery, they'll still be snug. I'm a teacher on summer break and ha...

Not getting enough calories... Or am I? - Hello, lovelies. I have a question for you wise souls. I am 2 weeks post op and on pureed/soft foods according to my plan. I'm getting 50 g of protein and staying under 40 cabs ...

Someone please explain... - ...what exactly is ketosis? Before surgery, I was told to be aware if I suddenly have a metallic taste in my mouth and, shocker, I do now. Everything that I've read says that it...
