compared to what is what I ask myself. I get down in the dumps when I hear someone lost more weight than me. So I have to remind myself that before it took me over a year to lose 10 lbs. 50 is still a celebration. Its a journey!

I set my goal on how much weigh to lose short term until I set a new goal. Making a huge goal is too disheartening for me. My NUT told me setting smaller golas makes you feel accomplished compared to a huge one. I set 3 small goals.I first wanted to get to 200. Then I want to get to 180. After that I will set a goal with my Doctor's advice because I know I can get smaller than 180. Best of luck!

Oh yes. My last two weekly videos have focused on it. They're on my blog if any interest. Http://gastricsleeve4me.blogspot.com
I think it's a combo of estrogen fat stores dumping into my system, mourning of food, more time on my hands (loneliness without food to cope), and probably just some emotnal hunk I've held on to that's cropping up now that I'm feeling vulnerable (which is not a state I enjoy
I think it's just part of the process. Thank god for my therapist! FYI I'm 8 weeks out and it started about 2 weeks ago

I think popcorn is a healthy choice of slider food. I have slid worse than popcorn.

You could actually buy a 2% or full fat greek yogurt and make frozen yogurt yourself. Better protein to carb ratios and it is soooooo cheap.

those are yummy for treats.

Splenda is what I use. I hate Stevia/truvia, it makes an awful after taste in my mouth. Aspertame like in crystal light and Equal give me killer head aches. Plus Aspertame is linked to weight gain.
Never liked saccarine/sweetnlow.
I also use a tbsp of honey a day in tea since it has a low glycemic index and doesn't raise my blood sugars.
Splenda is closest to regular sugar on a molecular level. So that is how I feel its best for me.

Just Really happy today because I fit into a seat at the movies. I used to make my kids share space by lifting the arms. Today I just fit nicely.
It was also refreshing not to be overly consuming popcorn and then large quantiies of Diet soda that make you have to make a potty run in the middle. Never was so comfortable just watching.
What about you?

That is so wonderful!

I make a menu for the week. I make dinners much more healthier now than before. Menus really help you plan what to make. Especially when I had the surgery so it was easy for my family to fix. My kids never miss a meal. LOL I do cook differently now. I make sure they have the 1 right portion instead of 2. Dessert is fruit. I think we all will benifit in my home from my journey.
