Heyher

There is a doughnut shop in Texas that makes maple bacon doughnuts. That has Protein. And bacon. Also coco crisp doughnuts.

Just keep in mind that is 30-60 less calories a day you can use to get in protein rich food. When I was allowed pudding I would have 1/8c at a time and I made it myself with skim milk and unflavored protein powder. I'm all about most bang for my buck.

What about maple glazed custard filled long johns? Are those on the approved list? If so, I'm there.

I think my doctor made mine too big!! I'm almost 6 months post op and can eat 4-5oz of chicken no problem!!! What do I do?? Am I doomed to fail???? :-P I think my dr used a 36, but I also think I had a bigger tummy to start with. So my 36 may be bigger then someone else's 36. I'm happy with what I have. Good restriction and really good weight loss... Other then this stupid stall... :-( But this too shall pass. Laxatives here I come!!!! J/K.

Still stalled. Ugh :-(

I make an iced Protein coffee. 12oz chilled coffee (so Protein Powder doesn't clump) 1 scoop Syntrax chocolate milk shake 2 minimoo creamers (1/2 and 1/2 version so they have 10 calories each) Mix them all in a shaker bottle and add ice to fill the rest of the way. 20g protein and tastes like iced mocha. Going to get some vanilla bean torte and the mint chocolate cookie version too.

I got lots of dots. That must mean I'm somebody !!!! No? Really?? Awe crap. :-(

So twice today I have heard "wow! You have lost a ton of weight! You look great!" Now I should be thankful for the you look great part. But I have not lost a ton. There may have been days where I felt like I weighed as much as a blue whale. But I have not lost 2,000lbs. Why can't they just say a lot of weight? Why must the amount of weight lost be similar to that of an elephant?

I agree chicken broth or tea. If you are looking for something more sweet diluted G2. But I have to ask why flaming hot Cheetos? The thought of anything remotely spicy that early out... Reflux, excess stomach acid, fresh wound in the tummy... I would think it would feel like swallowing rubbing alcohol.

Yay!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!! Walk walk walk and when you are allowed sip sip sip. And from this point forward never ever trust a fart.

I know they are giving me a compliment and I try to take it as that. But at times it makes me wonder was I that big and repulsive? I got the pretty face comment before. Or pretty eyes. Or nice smile. But it kind of hurts to think people would think of heather and overweight. Like that was what defined me to them. And now they feel like they have a right to comment on it. I am the same person I was before I lost weight. Just less... Round. Nothing else has changed, so why the fuss now? Why do you now feel its okay to comment in how whaleish I used to be in your eyes? If you thought it would have hurt my feelings back then, then it would probably hurt my feelings now. But one thing I have noticed is people I am close to are more reluctant to say something like that to me. I may hear things like I'm looking really good or I seem so much happier. It's the acquaintances that feel they can tell me I have lost a ton of weight. Like they don't need to be as nice about it or something. My old supervisor (who is not known for being tactful or nice) said to me that she can tell I have lost a lot of weight and I look happy and healthy. That was a true compliment. And coming from her, that was like the ultimate compliment. At times I wish people wouldn't say things about it. At work I kind of enjoyed being invisible. Not having to make the pointless awkward small talk. I mean do we really care about the weather. Or is the fact that its Monday really that devastating? Yes I am aware that Wednesday does mean the week is half over. And OMG it is Friday!! Lets all Celebrate so we can come back and be depressed all over again on Monday. Now I guess since I am skinnier people can talk to me. Since I no longer have fat to keep people away I guess I will have to work on my RBF. Resting b***h face.

You will feel better once you get the cocktail at the hospital before surgery. I really wanted one for the road before I left but was told no. Some bs about laws and ethics and whatever... I dunno I stopped listening. It is totally normal to feel scared, apprehensive, freaked the flip out, sad, excited, and any and every other emotion you can think of. But just think about why you are doing this and how much your life is going to improve. And if that doesn't help drink some vodka. What? It's a clear liquid. :-P

Have you tried diluted G2? Possibly your electrolytes are out of whack. Worth a shot.

Ohhhhhh.... I don't know if fried fish is allowed postop. :-P

So on another thread I posted about how at my six week appointment the NP commented on how narrow my hips are. I have broad shoulders. With the roid rage, I shall now be called Gru the Hulk.

They made a comment on how I have freakishly narrow hips. (Gee thanks. Now I feel like I'm a whale built like Gru. Whale comment refers to one if my threads on the rant & race board) They asked how I was doing. Asked about food and water. Told me good job and sent me on my way. Oh and they solicited me for the panel at one of their seminars.

Looking good! Congrats on your loss!!! And I love your tank top. :-)

Just hearing it twice made me think "My god I looked like whale to them!!!" Doesn't help that I got the roid rage going from prednisone withdraws. People better watch out. I might just hulk out on them. Though one person did say if I lose any more I will disappear soon. That was nice.
