  1. Totally normal!! I had it the first few days I was home.
  2. I am 9 weeks out and some days I am so hungry. Other days I have a hard time getting all my protein in and eating enough! Anybody else like this?
  3. Yes, you are normal. That was one of the first things I ate and I was amazed I could finish it!!
  4.    terrilynndrew reacted to a post in a topic: I've Lost 75 Lbs!
  5. You look great!! What an accomplishment.
  6. I am 8 weeks out and have not problem with peanut butter. I have it with whole wheat crackers occasionly.
  7. I am the same way!! Plus one day something will agree with me and then the next day it doesn't!
  8. Laughing my face off about your tranny territory comment!! I know what you mean about he sizes. I am 6ft tall and my goal weight is 170. When I was that size a hundred years ago that made me a size 14. Then I read about people who weight MORE that that wearing a 10. Of course this go around I would be thrilled to be a 14 again.
  9. You are totally normal!! At this stage you are sick to death of sweet shakes and want something savory. Hang in there. I am 7 weeks out and the obsession with food gets easier as you are able to eat more things.
  10. I am seven weeks out and all day I have been craving some type of ice cream or frozen goodie. So, this evening I drove to 7-11 and got two ice cream sandwiches and ate both of them. I enjoyed every bite!! Prior to surgery, it would have been a whole BOX of ice cream sandwiches and then I would have kept eating all kinds of crap until I was in a food coma!
  11. Yep, totally normal! Try wearing some control top undies. That was a lifesaver for me having something "hold" my stomach in place.
  12. I am 6 weeks out as well and know what you mean!! I just ate scrambled eggs for dinner just to "get dinner over with." I love to cook so this is frustrating. I try to make a dinner for my son that I think I can eat as well and then end up just eating a few bites. theworldaccordingtoeggface.com has some great ideas,
  13. I love the Quest Bars.They are high fiber and high protein - 20 grams! Plus low carb.
  14. Totally normal, i did the same and it was so frustrating. I know that I started eating MORE and the scale started moving.
  15. Yes, I did! It was almost like spasms. It went away after about a week though.
  16. I am six weeks out and seem to have the hardest time keeping lunch down. I have had things such as egg salad, tuna, steamed shrimp. I start eating and then feel very queasy and then run to the bathroom and throw it up. What do you guys like to have for lunch? That stays down!!!!
