Do you still enjoy food or look forward to it though?

I do not look forward to or enjoy food any longer. What I do enjoy is participating in physical activities that I could not do 4 months ago. Oh and I enjoy shopping. Lol. I also am on an eating schedule to remind myself to eat. My world doesn't revolve around food anymore. I'm enjoying this new life a lot

Born and raised in Morgan City been here 39 years

A lot of my family is there. And we have a family camp in Stephensville that I go spend weekends at sometimes. Was last there for Shrimp and Petroleum festival over Labor Day weekend.

Morgan City here Dr Borland did my sleeve on 9/18/11 he is a great Dr and his staff was great also

I don't live in Morgan City anymore but I'm from there.

Surgery date: 06/12

Day of surgery: 276

Weight today : 204

Feeling much better since getting home. I'm in control of my medication and can actually get some rest.

And I'm sipping' date=' sipping, sipping Crystal Light flavored water. It's still slow going but I'm doing the best I can do![/quote']

When I first got home, my Water had to be room temperature. Cold water made my stomach spasm.

Glad you are feeling better. Keep sipping!

"You don't have to say you love me" by Sarra Manning is a good one. I picked it up after reading an article about the authors own weight loss and how it affected her.

I tried to download this from Amazon, said it wasn't available for customers from US.

I'm not spending any time with any of my friends at all lately. It's actually not a conscious choice. My main reason for being healthy is to enjoy life with my 5 year old son, and that's what I've been doing.

My surgery is TOMORROW!!! So much to do today. I can't believe it's FINALLY here. Equal parts nervous and excited...

Good luck tomorrow!!!

209 today

From 209 to 207 this week

You and your wife look fabulous!

So awesome!!!!

Maybe TMI but for the first time since surgery I wish I would puke. I had taco salad (just the meat' date=' cheese and some tomato) and it went down too well. I think I ate too fast and too much. How long will this yuck feeling last?

Lessen learned omg.[/quote']

When I do this, it'll take 30-45 minutes to get better. I'm getting better at stopping with the initial "getting full" feeling. I also eat some Tums.

It will pass

Wow!! I just signed on to ask about coffee because my NUT said it was not allowed and I quit pre-op. But now it's Fall and the Fall blends with spices are so attractive!! I bought the pumpkin Spice blend at Trader Joes and it tastes wonderful with Splenda and a splash of skim milk' date=' and felt like I was committing a mortal sin by drinking it!! Now I've read all your posts, I feel better. Try this coffee, it's wonderful. (I will use in moderation, as I know nothing in excess is good for me or anyone)[/quote']

I just ordered some of this. I hope it's good!

Thought I'd revive this thread.

So far, I'm down 67lbs since surgery on 06/12. However I'm in a stall. Been fluctuating between 210 and 209 for two weeks.

So very frustrating

Holding steady at 210. Doesn't surprise me' date=' I was able start eating again after having an intestinal parasite. I was miserable!!![/quote']

209 today

I cook one recipe a week from the Emily Bites website. I hold out what will be a weeks worth of food for me, and freeze the rest. Freezing extras has come in handy when I don't feel like cooking.

I took out a loan with my credit union. I'll be paying it back for the next 4 years

I just got over something like that. I thought it was a stomach virus but test revealed it was intestinal parasite. I had to go to hospital to get fluids from dehydration. Take care of yourself.

OTR you look great!

Last week:214

This week:210

Goal for competition: 198

Holding steady at 210. Doesn't surprise me, I was able start eating again after having an intestinal parasite. I was miserable!!!
