I made the big haul on shrimp the other day. They were on sale and they were the big fat, juicy kind--already deveined and easy to shell. Score! So I splurged on a pound. I decided to grill all of them and skewered and cooked em up, mi-T-fine. F-I-N-E! And now I have them in a big ol' container waiting and ready for meals and set snacks. I also made a passel of fresh pico with avocado and lime. Holy guacamole crudo! So. Damn. Good. I am eating it for elevensies as we speak and the world just doesn't get any better!!! Oh hail mighty shrimp Your charred smoky flesh delights Get in mah belly.

I think it will be good for you to speak to a professional and I hope that your surgical team will give you information that you can use besides the typical diet options. but you pretty much answered your own question, you have been obese majority of your life and you have kids whom need their mother. That would be enough for me. no one is every fully ready for a lifelong change. The same thing when people say “oh, you’re never ready for kids.” Your nerves are just talking and that’s ok. You have got this! The journey will be well worth it I am sure. And remember, there’s all of us on this forum with tons of info

Sure go ahead and start one I don’t want to hijack the OP’s thread

SO its possible to do everything right and still regain?

Ooo! Looks good! Thanks for the idea. I am on liquids still, but am a little concerned how my new belly will handle meat. I am allowed scrambled eggs and tried a little today, kinda hurt. This might be a good option for me. I have always eaten some meat substitutes, but nice to have some other options! Thanks

Way to go, beautiful. Your killin it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app

I think the hardest part for me is finding the motivation to just get back on track. I LOVED how I felt and looked at 150lbs and you think that would be motivation enough but I am always just so tired

For the first time in my life FOOD doesn’t control my thoughts and actions. #awesomelypowerful
