For those of you who might be new to Obesity Help, I figured it might be helpful to provide a brief walkthrough on how to block a troll.

Hi all :)

This morning I woke up at 5:15, left my mom’s place at 6am, and got to my 10:15 appointment at 9:45. The drive should have taken 3 hours, but traffic sucked due to weather. I’m surprised my blood pressure wasn’t worse than it wa

I hope to have braces by the end of April. “Yay.”

Have any of you had issues with braces and Quest bars? I wonder if they might pose a problem due to being firm and chewy.

Happy Tuesday! I had a busy and lovely day yesterday, I'm hoping for the same today :) I've got PT for my feet this morning and then I'll be spending many hours with a friend for lunch and chats. And, best of all, no school! Although if I have time

I don't think I ever updated last week, oops! I hope you all are doing well and had good weeks. It was the last week of a challenging term for me and I definitely let myself go off the rails. It's bad when I choose not to take my Vyvanse because I k

It's vacation week for me! My classes finished yesterday and I have a week off before they start up again. Very exciting. I have a ton of things to accomplish this week, and I'm looking forward to getting some friend time in as well.

Disclaimer: I don't have GERD/acid issues, I'm just paranoid.

I know that RNY is the go-to for "fixing" GERD after VSG, but have you had, or do you know of anyone, who has had Nissen or Nissen-Rossetti Fundoplication to resolve GERD instead?

I can't weigh myself this morning, since I'm not at home, but I wanted to get us started for the week! I can't believe the end of this week is March already. I'll update my weight when I'm back home tomorrow morning. (Even though I'm sure it'll be u
