Hey Fluffy l and Kathy, as much as I've been texting recently I should be corresponding Secretary in your Admiration Society. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

How about how soon will I become over-sexed post surgery? Because if I'm gonna become hot to trot after years at a slow limp I want to be ready! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

I really like the Mayo Clinic diet. Mason jar salads are my go-to for work lunches: https://www.buzzfeed.com/carolynkylstra/mason-jar-salads?utm_term=.ouMPZYqa0d#.buyv0YWnG7 One way hubby and I compromise on junk food...he is only allowed to bring things into the house that I genuinely don't like. LOL. All other junk had to be consumed at work. (Rumor has it, he has ice cream for lunch a lot) I'm not a fan of certain types of cookies and treats he likes...so those are the ones I'll pick up for him....ones I kinda...hate. Apples are wonderful things. With peanut butter, they're even better. If you have a fridge at work, keep cheese sticks, baby bellas, yogurt, single serving cottage cheese. Also keep low sugar oatmeal packets, sugar free pudding, and anything else you can find that's either low glycemic or high protein. Fruit and veggies are good food. Rediscover hard boiled eggs. Switch your bread to low gycemic options...pumpernickel, whole grain, sourdough...and cut your bread in half if you can. Try high protein wraps. Experiment with chia seed pudding, avacado toast, and homemade protein packs with nuts and cheese and dried fruit. Try several different protien shakes and bars....try for low sugar and high protein. See if you can get a metabolic test to get a true idea of your body fat and set a reasonable calorie goal. if you shoot too low, you'll cheat. Don't cheat...start working on a forever diet you can live with:)

I am doing pretty well. I still have gas pain and that is what bothers me the most. I haven't thrown up even once and I only had some mild nausea after surgery. I have done a good job of tracking liquids and following my diet. So far I have lost 9lbs. I am still taking it slow and listening to my body. Things feel different. I don't exactly ever feel hungry, I also don't seem to experience the traditional feeling of fullness. I never used to burp, ever. Now I keep having little burps every time I eat or drink. It's not to bad and I figure it will get a little better over time. Overall I am doing well and looking forward to my new life. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
