  1. Fat free ranch!!! Plain yougart in a pinch!
  2. I was a huge coke drinker. Also a huge coke user (a long time ago in a far off galaxy). Wait don't judge let me finish......I remembered something I heard at a 12 step meeting "try our way for 90 days if you want your old life back it will be there waiting for you" so knowing they would be making coke well into the future I promised 90 days to myself and haven't looked back.90 days out fat was dripping off me like a pig in an oven and I wasnt gonna mess that up . Now I honestly see it for what it is 12 teaspoons of sugar in a can with bubbles and some other crap, gotta pass on that. I guess it comes down to this "nothing is going to change till ya change it" . so to answer your question yes you can; taper off , Water it down , cold turkey. Just decide you will stop and make a plan!
  3. I was sleeved in dec didn't warm up until last week..just kidding I haven't warmed up yet, but I am loosing weight and hey at least I'm not hot n sweaty all the time!!
  4. A good strong finger to push that PCA button And slippers so you can walk aa much as possible. Good luck!!!
  5. I hear that ! I gave my manziere' collection to a rather buxom fellow who works at the post office!
  6. Sassy pants I love you!
  7. I think it's unfair to ascribe intent perhaps even Rude! I never said they were or weren't side burns just how it looked in the tiny Little picture on my phone, as i explained in my post . I am sorry that your medical condition makes you sensitive and you perceived my comment as an insult, I didn't intend it to be. Thanks for giving me, a complete stranger ,on a different continent all that headspace I'm flattered! If you are having a bad day and want to talk we can!
  8. Wow I asked for a pic with a smile. That's a smile and I'm smiling too. And blushing a little
  9. For me just knowing I was progressing without complications was encouraging and made it easier to not listen to my mind tell me what my new tiny belly knew was a lie. Do you take a ppi?acid reflux mimics hunger to a lot of people! Can we get a new profile pic with a smile?
  10. Sounds about where I was (that is myTuna recipe) I was eating a couple of reduced fat triscuits with it . I'm just 9 months out and can't finish One can and 5 crackers I can eat about one egg scrambled with small Greek yogurt,but a boiled egg fills me can't fit the yogurt. Are you eating lentils? lots of protein and fiber they became a go to food for me at about three weeks. Good luck!!
  11. Yes chia will get things going for sure,if not try kombucha with chia that will " get er dun"
  12. My pre op was 7 days lots of water, two protein shakes , zero simple carbs , limited complex carbs, lots of lean protein....I am almost 9 months out and just realized how much that looks like the structure of my diet now.
  13. Go get some coffee ..…no worries!
  14. Bananas, mangos ,blueberries, any kind of melon, haven't had any fruit my sleeve can't tolerate. Be careful with skins and seeds and you should be fine.
  15. Exactly how far south of the border did you go? Just kiddin I was asleep for both , for the scope the actually numbed my throat with some spray so I would not wake up scratchy and sore. Better living through chemistry!
  16. Hey jerzy girl. I grew up in the house next door to you. I think?
  17. I guess once you are off pain meds it is one of those "as tolerated" things. My mom made us walk she said it was a good cool down.
  18. Way to go !! I tried the eas shakes Carmel latte' wow that's good!
