Girl, I'd wear that costume EVERYWHERE!! You look GREAT in it.

You have no food limits with a sleeve after you've advanced to the proper post stage diet. Have some popcorn! just don't load it down with as much butter and salt. Its now a life of controlled moderation...not forced misery. Remember that

My doctor actually recommended that I try eating eat at my last visit

Ugh stinking spell checker... I really was posting about gummies not hummus.

Tall white chocolate mocha with skim milk, no phone, one pump. 4 splendas. Mmmmmm...

So I was searching for ways to flavor my Water since I gave up on my crystal light and mio because they r really horrible for you. This stuff sounds great and can't wait to order it. U flavor yr water with it or whatever u r drinking and it's all natural because it's made with stevia. No chemicals or bad stuff. Yay! Just thought I'd share

Yes. If it's getting stuck you're not chewing enough. Learning to chew until the food was basically dust has been my biggest challenge.

I have popcorn at the movies ...
Just not as much and only after being at goal.
This is not the end of our lives ... it is the new beginning.

That sounds good. But i love the whole soft serve part :-)

I'd posted previously about my love of flatout bread. Last night I cut one in half and made buffalo chicken on one half (wing sauce, canned chicken, cheddar cheese, sprinkling of ranch dressing packet) and sausage/pepp on the other (prego pre made pizza sauce, leftover sausage, turkey pepperoni, and four cheese pizza blend). At 8 weeks I could only eat 1/6 of a flatout...now I can do about a quarter, but am stuffed (e.g., what you see in pic is four meals)

OK what exactly is a "Slider" I've seen the term for slider food on here before and my goofy ass self thought it was probably a recipe for mini hamburgers!

Oh...and dry roasted soy nuts are another good option. Crunchy, and lower in fat than peanuts.

You rock!

I posted this in pre op and they suggested I move it to post.....so here it goes :
I know this may be a little inappropriate and I hope I don't offend anyone but It was just a thought and im sure others have thought about this too. So here it goes!

I know the ...willy...looks bigger when men lose weight...obviously because they're losing weight. and i know our ta ta's might droop and sag. I know this from previous weight loss. But what about the ....."hoo ha"? I'll spare the graphicness of the post but you all know what i'm getting at!!! Does it change at all????

Whoop there it is!

I get the tall iced skinny vanilla latte and I think it is 60 cal, the grande is 80 cal. As an alternative to Starbucks call Bariatric Advantage and order an sample bottle of their ProJoe, they have mocha, vanilla, and chai. I have oly had the mocha, but it is very good. Not on their website yet, but get the number there and call them and they should aend you a sample. It's much healthier than a Starbucks and basically comes out to the same amount of money.

I'm a sucker for coffee..... and whenever I'm out, I always look for a place to get coffee, I usually make it simple, fat free latte, they usually have different kinds of sugar packets..... I use the diet packet, if it's not available then it's half a packet of ordinary sugar..... u do need ur energy ....At home, I use Uni fructose... I don't like the taste of Splenda..... fructose is fruit sugar, 1 teaspoon = 16 calories, I take 2 a day.....my doctor told me it's ok to take 2 teaspoons of regular sugar daily, but I like to play it safe..... Also sometimes when I haven't eaten enough throughout the day, I treat myself to an ice cold frappucino.... remember, ur not on a strict diet... ur just eating less..... a hell lot lesser......I always remind myself of that, cause strict diets is what got me here in the first place.... they don't work with me, I always cheated and felt depressed and sad, so I ate more instead.... I have issues with being restricted.... so now I feel comfortable because I Rule.... I choose what to eat, not a piece of paper..., and I know I'm making the right choices, and if I sometimes didn't, it's only a few bites anyway

I haven't went yet, its on the list for next week though lol.

I asked my general practitioner because I'm on contraceptive implant (never ever get my period anymore) and having lost weight quite rapidly pre-op I got a 9 day period, (very heavy and dark followed by very heavy and pink) and just felt so lethargic, got dizzy even sitting up- GP said it was probably related to the weight loss, shock to the system and all that, and that "sometimes the body just has to let it all out sometimes"... 9 days isn't "normal" but not necessarily life-threatening either. But I would consider getting a checkup because the last thing you want after wls is any Vitamin or mineral deficiencies... *peace*

yes, mine went from being an irregular 33-40 day sometime more cycle....to being on the day 28 day cycle. I do seem to have a heavier period in the beggining of the cycle then before, but the length is the same. hope it gets better for you...probably all of the hormones that have been stored in your fat for all this time that is finally being released and reaking havoc with your body.....I'm sure it will get better!
