    So an old friend of who has never met my husband and has a pretty crappy husband has reached out twice to my husband on facebook via private messages. The questions where asking about me and how I was doing. I am capable of answering these questions and I wonder why she is asking him and not me. When it happens my husband tells me immediately and tells me that he thinks its weird. I always brag about him because honestly he is freaking awesome and handsome. Not sure what to think. Can you guys share your input?
  13. I stalled too but then one day bam! 5 pounds down! :-) I'm sure you will start to lose again soon.
  14. Yw Sophie! congrats on your new journey! 2 weeks post op was very hard for me as I struggled with my food addiction. Just remember that each day does get better! I wish you the best!
  15. Yup u can see the difference. Good for you, you are looking fabulous!!
  16. Hi everyone, Just wanted to update those who may be curious. As of today I am five weeks + 1 day post op. So far I am doing well. I am down to 219, which is a 27 lbs from surgery. When I started this process I was 255 so pre/post op I have lost a total of 36 lbs. What I eat: grilled chicken (one thigh usually) veggie burger (this is dry but I dip it in ketchup) meats cooked in a crock pot 3-4 oz cottage cheese egg whites eggs Premier shakes from costco Chili from Wendys 1/4 toast (per my NUT) 3-4 crackers (per my NUT) My nut said to add 1/4 cup of veggies or fruit but can barely eat my protein Things I crave (I am slowly losing interest in these foods as I am realizing that I love that I have the control over my food now): cake (frosting) Chinese food tacos mac n cheese (I make award winning mexi mac n cheese (seriously it won an award)) pizza Things I am grateful for: No heartburn at all my smaller body my family who has been very supportive Things I am annoyed about: slimmies Things I cannot live without water bottles my Satchil (insulated lunch bag) freezer pack small containers for my vitamins 1/2 cup containers for my lunch Mio Powerade zero I am not NOT! exercising because I do not want to. Not sure how I can get motivated to do this. I am sure if I started doing this I would lose the weight a lot faster. I had one stall for a week (223/224lbs), but I didn't care. My logic: my hair wont fall out so soon and pants will stop falling off! One thing, I was having BM's pretty normal but then I started to struggle to poop. I don't know if its the premier shakes, but that is when it started. Has this happened to anyone? I still go, its just a battle sometimes! I think I need to add fiber to my meals. I am generally a very healthy pooper. Well, sorry for the long post. If you have any questions, please ask! I encourage them. Have a great day everyone!
  17. Thanks! I really appreciate all your comments.
  18. Hi everyone! :-) I just started drinking premier shakes to up my Protein and I am wondering if they are considered as part of liquids or a Meal Replacement? I asked my surgeon but he said not to worry about drinking Protein drinks. I decided that I do want to drink them but I don't know how to track them. please help!
  19. I have been craving ceviche so bad I need to make some! I am also 3 weeks our and nothing upsets my tummy. I fear a leak so I onle eat 3 to 4 oz of food. I have also craved pickles I cant wait to try some.
  20. Yea 22 lbs is a huge difference! I wonder what a difference 40 60 80 lbs will make! So looking forward to it.
  21. Okay to the goodwill it is! Thanks for the suggestion guys!
  22. Diva I will have to do that because this is getting ridiculous!
  23. Oh and keep in mind that im shouting his name demanding that be comes comes back...so everyone who was outside was looking at me... it was quite a spectacle
  24. Hi everyone! Well so far I've lost 22 lbs! I haven't bought any clothes and all my clothes fits me loose. Today I decided to drop off my 90 lbs german shepherd at my mom in laws... Well as I walk out my door he gets away from me and darts it down the street!!! He starts to head towards these two boys down the street!! I start chasing and my shorts end up half way down my a$$!! Ha! Running and holding my shorts up is not easy! So I reach him as he is trying to jump on the boys and lick them on their faces. Thankfully no one got hurt! Omg! I need new clothes but I don't want to buy any as it may be a waste of money. Just wanted to share! input welcome sleevers!!!
