Making biscuits and strawberry skillet jam for my husband and brother today. I'm not having any, but I'm finding it fun to live vicariously through them.

Okay, what the heck? I just took my Bariatric Advantage multi-vitamin and calcium citrate because I've been slacking off and they made me feel immediately nauseous. The most nauseous I've felt since my surgery. No me gusta.

How are you feeling after your surgery? Everything alright?

When will I learn? I went into the kitchen to microwave a piece of the crustless low carb pizza I made last night. While I waited, I popped a piece of sushi in my mouth (snacking while making food is an old bad habit of mine). Now I'm full. Pizza goes right back in the fridge.

I ate in a social setting today! I only ate 3-4 total spoonfuls of food and my friends noticed, but I still did it.

Why does Unjury make everything so liquidy? Yuck.

I've been dying for a burger, so I ate almost half of a Morningstar Farms veggie patty with american cheese melted on top. I think I overate, plus under-chewed and it is trying to come back to haunt me. Super sad-face. Lesson learned.

38 lbs lost, 39 lbs to go. .5 lbs away from my halfway mark! New mini-goal time: get into 170's by the end of August.

I ran out of my acid reducers and I feel like I'm starving today! I didn't realize how much of a difference they made. I'm picking up my refill tomorrow.

I really think cooking might be my crossover addiction since the surgery. I can't eat, so I feed everyone else. Made pot roast today for the first time for my husband and a bunch of his guy friends. Served it over smashed red potatoes with garlic. The guys finished the entire pot roast (juices, veggies, everything) AND 5 lbs of mashed potatoes in half an hour. They wouldn't shut up about how much they loved it. LOL I might have to start eating meat again. I didn't even get to taste it!

The Success Stories forum is my favorite part of this site. So motivating.

I need to lose 2 more lbs to reach my monthly mini-goal of 2 lbs. Fingers crossed for me, people! I've only got a week left!

Today I did a yoga video and a kickboxing video. I didn't get all the way through either of them, but I still did it! 3 days of exercise in a row!

Going in for an endoscopy tomorrow morning to find out why I'm still gurgling so much. I'm tired of sounding like a weirdo every time I eat. LOL

Can't sit around worrying about what my doctor might tell me on Wednesday. Tonight, I am fine so tonight I'm going to live! Getting all dressed up and going to dance my butt off with my friends!

♫♪♫ HALFWAY THERE! I'M HALFWAY THERE! Working toward my goal, I'm halfway there! ♫♪♫

Yesterday I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my spine and hip. I'm 31 years old. Take care of your bones, ladies.

The sleeve already changed my body, and I'm working toward the day when I can say that it changed my life! <3

My Coachella pass is here! I danced around so much, my pants fell down! Healthy-chella 2012!!

I wasn't going to announce this because I'm only barely making it, but I hit onederland today. 199.8 lbs. Progress is being made.

Does anyone know if it would be okay to take 2 Prilosec in one day?

Thank you! I ended up getting Centrum VitaCraves, which agree with me, but I'm not sure if they're complete enough. I still want to try liquid vitamins.

I love the look of this purdy new forum!

I'm on the second week of my pre-op diet and I wanted Mexican food so badly last night that I cried about it. I cried and then I had a diet shake. That's how I know that I can do this. Strong like bull.

I'm on some kind of cooking jag. Crossover addiction? Last night I made banana/sweet potato bread and whipped honey butter spread. I sent it to work with my husband today so that I wouldn't be tempted to eat it (I tasted though and it was delicious). Tonight I made halibut, tomorrow I think I'll make peanut butter cookies or shepherd's pie. This wouldn't be so odd, except I HATED to cook before surgery.
