I've heard of different signs after WLS that indicate a person is full - some people get the hiccups or their nose runs once they're full. I've read a few different things on this board and at support groups in person but I've never had that happen to

I made my mini goal of 158 by the time I went on vacation :) We leave on Thursday for Universal and I'm so beyond excited. I haven't ben on a roller coaster since I was dating my DH when I had cancer and I was the skinniest I ever had been due to you k

I'll be in FL in 9 days. 2.5 days at Universal and 2.5 days at a condo on the beach.

I'm kind of nervous about wearing a bathing suit in public! I don't know why that didn't occur to me before now but it just kind of hit me that I'll be on the

DH told me at dinner this week he's gained weight and he wants to go on a diet. I honestly haven't noticed, for all that I focus on my weight I'm super unobservant of other people's weights and I don't notice at all. He's a big guy - 6'3" and has alway

DH and I are going to Universal in 2.5 weeks specifically for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (SQUEE) which was what I wanted to do as a big celebration for the weight loss. I've always wanted to go there but knew I never would have fit on the ride

I've flown once since Rny but not in almost a year. On a plane now and wow what a difference. LOOK how much seatbelt I have left after I fasten it! I always asked for an extender when I boarded to avoid embarrassment after I sat down. 

I haven't been in 'regular sizes' since before I was a freshman in HS so I don't really have a memory of sizing ever being any different. As long as I can remember I've been in plus sizes and they've been pretty much the same across the board.

I'm going to NYC next week and it's going to be warm, I already have an issue with getting lightheaded due to being on BP meds for migraines. I'm a little concerned about walking around a lot and sweating in the heat and trying to keep up my energy bet

I have always, always wanted a pair of knee-high boots. But have never been able to get them because I couldn't find any that fit my extremely fat calves. Even the wide, wide leg boots didn't fit. I ordered from Lane Bryant and many online retailers lo

Stupid question here.

I've been wearing more dresses, which I like. And my thighs rub together because of the loose skin, no problem - it doesn't bother me, they're covered, no one can see. But I'm going on vacation and my dresses are comfortab

Sometimes I don't get the losses or maintenance that happens. I lost 4 pounds last week and 3 pounds this week - which is so great! But I ate out twice this week (randomly, I go out to eat MAYBE once a month usually). So I was pretty sure I probably di

I work in an office and I started here in January. I've lost 70 pounds since then - so a lot but not the massive 200 pound total but still. I get that I look different. I don't hide my surgery. But I don't know people here really so the only people I'v

I figured out how to do my ticker when I first came on this site about 18 months ago or so. But now that I've reached my goal weight and am going beyond that I can't figure out how to have it just as a ticker, is that not possible?

I wanted it

I'm on a beta blocker for migraines that I've been on for a few years. I started getting dizzy about 6 months ago and basically started having orthostatic hypotension because my weight has changed so drastically in the last 18 months and I hadn't chang

Or maybe not so little?

I have an office job so I've needed to buy clothes semi-regularly as I've lost weight but have done so pretty infrequently, shopping sales and I've always been relatively cheap with clothes anyways so I never really splu

I had a not so good eating weekend. I went grocery shopping this weekend and I went to a store I normally don't go to and got Halo Top ice cream which has protein, low sugar, and 60 calories per serving. I was super excited. I also got this skinny pop

Decent week last week - lost 1 pound. I'm coming up on 18 months out which is where I consider the magic stopping point for honeymoon phase. And that's just me pulling that from the 12-18 month period a lot of people say so that's not factual or anythi

Today is the day!! I started at 377 pounds and my goal was 175 pounds....and today is THAT DAY! And that goal was a complete shot in the dark and one I truly thought was unattainable. I made it randomly and was happy that I could even make it past 100

I know I'm an emotional eater. I eat my feelings - happy, sad, anxious, stressed. I haven't done any of that in 17 months. But I still have those instincts for sure. I see a therapist for other things and obviously these things too.

I'm super a

I was able to lose more again this week so I had a good week! I took Cynthia's advice on a thread of mine to start weighing daily since I've been hovering around my goal weight. I have been getting obsessive about it but if I'm honest I'm obsessive wit
