I had surgery 1/21/ 13 I just caught that

Surgery 2/21/13 lost 40 pounds first month I'm in my second month and I'm down 4 pounds so far I'm in a stall I believe but I put the scale away two days go I don't want to be a slave of the scale

The thing for me I don't kno if I dropped pants sizes cause I won't try any thing on my mind has not caught up w this body I don't see what others see the skinny girl they say maybe when I so try something on my mind will be there

I can't eat scrabble eggs but boil eggs is so heavy in my stomach

This is the reason I had educated my husband about the emotional part so that if I had got frustrated he could understand better and not get on the defense about it and that has help a lot

I love to eat omelet egg cheese bacon bits green onion chop fine

I don't track my food sound to much like a diet .. I eat every two to three hours protein mostly I might have a tsp if mash potatoes every now and then for energy my job is active I eat chicken ( lean white meat ) baked fish , tuna salad , chicken salad my snacks or cheese sticks low fat or nuts I have 1/4 of a egg every morning

SW: 290 CW:246 I'm 5'8

Oh I for got about the ten pounds I lost pre op so that would be 56 pounds

Sleeved 1/21/13 Sw:290 Cw: 246 I'm down 44 pounds and I'm 6 weeks

My husband has been very supportive .. What I found help us to prepare for surgery was to educate him as you do your self when your on this forum .. Explain to him about the emotional side of the after affects of surgery .. It don't last long but I remember my forth day out I cried my emotion ran crazy but because I educated him he knew what I was going through and just what to say .. My relationship is so wonderful and he's even eating what I eat which makes my journey so much easier hes not over weight but he want to be healthy w me .. Just educate him and you guys will be fine .. I told my husband about the head hungry that happens after surgery even bring him along to a Doc appt or support group .. Testimony help my husband understand the reason for having surgery .. In the beginning he was so scared for me .. My husband has never had surgery before

Oh another I like is the Fuzz slenderize drinks only the slenderize ones cause the calories are between 5 to 15 the whole bottle those are so good as well my fave is the cranberry plumagrante so good

I'm 6weeks out and I love drinking half and half lemonade ice tea diet snapple it only has 10 calories the whole bottle no sugar no carbs it's so good it doesn't have that artificial sweetener taste I brought a case of 6 from Walmart I like iced cold from the freezer u should try they have other flavors as well like peach tea .. Enjoy

I kno the more carbs you eat it's possible to cause you to be more hungry .. Just eat every two to three hrs some protein

So my friend and I went shopping and I did not try on anything I was to scared I don't kno why maybe I don't want to give up my old clothes or things are moving so fast that I can't keep up my friend says you have to be down a size or two but what if I'm not maybe the thought of not being I don't kno I haven't shopped for my self for clothes since last March ..but has everyone else doing about going shopping

You look amazing !! Keep up the good work

I say follow your doc orders but its not uncommon to be on soft to solid food at three weeks I kno ppl who's diet progress fast you can't go on what others say cause docs have rules for their patients but its about listening to your body my doc said that I could advance as long as I was able to tolerate what I eat and just take my time do it very slow one food at a time so I'm 6 weeks tomorrow I'm on some solids and soft but I tried beef roast had no problem it was very tender I could only eat about a oz of that

Like ice from being frozen not ice cubes
