I want fish sticks and french fries with tartar sauce so bad. Instead I'm gonna keep sipping this water and pretending it's the same thing. Eyes on the prize. lol

I forgot about my baby stomach, Little Sleevie Wonder, and stuffed it way too fast with half of a small banana and peanut butter. It was too much food and now Little Sleevie hates me.

My head hunger today is awful. I want to eat all sorts of things. I just really want crunchy food.

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.

I have to stop viewing my meals as something I'll get around to doing.

My weight is back to normal. Just had one weird day.

HOW ON EARTH COULD I HAVE GAINED 1.5 LBS SINCE YESTERDAY? It must be fluid retention from the salt I put on my food since I obviously didn't eat 1.5 lbs of food yesterday. lol Today's focus: More water, less salt.

Today is the first day of week six. Is it okay to try and see if I can tolerate fresh cherries?

Happy Pride, San Diegans! My husband is having a BBQ today, but I'll be out later to party and show my support. <3 you!

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.

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.

You guys on VST are so welcoming and nice. I feel really supported here and I appreciate it.

Are you having any luck with your insurance company approving the sleeve? My husband has the same issue. BCBS won't cover him for a sleeve because his BMI isn't over 50.

I feel like I smell weird since I've had surgery. My husband says that I smell just fine, but I constantly feel like I need a shower. I hope this goes away soon.

I did it! I'm overweight!! *dance boogie dance*

You're on cream soups now? That's great! It sounds like you're having a smooth recovery.

I live in San Diego so it's a little far, but I'd love to try to make a meeting. Please add me to the invites list. Do you need my email address or anything?

30lbs gone for good! 38.96% of my excess weight gone for good! BMI 30. The next pound that I lose takes me from obese to overweight. Oh, to be overweight!

I cut the sweetness of my protein shakes with my favorite unsweetened almond milk and the shakes still make me nauseous. I think I just can't handle the shakes. I'll have to get my protein in through mushy foods.

Provided I don't get bloated later, it looks like I can add cottage cheese to my list of safe foods! Huzzah!

It just occurred to me that I could mix Atkins Advantage shakes with a little unsweetened almond milk and they would be perfect. They're the only shakes that I like so far, but they're too sweet and rich for me. I need to go shopping!

I'm beginning to think that I'll never be able to eat non-soft foods again. I find the gurgling so unpleasant that I'd rather eat nothing. Unfortunately that means that I'm light-headed all the time. What have I done to myself?

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.

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

Why does Unjury make everything so liquidy? Yuck.
