Heck yeah for NSV!!!!! That had to be the best feeling!!!! Congrats!

Okay I'm in. Surgery 2/26 Hw 255 DOS 245 Today 211 June 1st goal is 180.

I use pic stitch on the iPhone.

Congrats!!! She is beautiful, adorable, precious, and a total doll!!

Congrats!! Can def see the changes! Keep up the awesome work and keep rocking that sleeve!!!

LoL!!!! Well my mom and fiancé wouldn't have let me eat more even if I wanted to. They are pretty good support and make me accountable. And I will not have dry yucky cake. Open bar and awesome cake. Best ingredients for a kick a$$ wedding.

Okay so I am almost six weeks post op. Today my mom, fiancé, and I went to a cake tasting for our wedding. I went in knowing I would have to closely monitor myself or I would be in BIG trouble. (Didn't want to vomit at the bakery) I had a nibble about the size of an M&M from five cakes. I don't have too much of a sweet tooth, but no way was I missing out on Godiva white chocolate cake, strawberries & champaign cake, berries on a cloud cake, or caramel cream brûlée cake. Those five nibbles gave me a massive sugar rush for about 20 min. Then I had chicken and black beans for dinner. Am I sorry I cheated with my five nibbles of heaven? Nope. Am I craving more cake? No way. For me it has always been about portion control. Even though I felt no restriction from cake (shocking) I knew a few nibbles would be my new limit. This was my first cheat. First non protein rich food. Loved it, but not near enough to make a habit.

Wow!! You look amazing and so beautiful!!! Big congrats on all your progress!!

Try sipping an ounce every 15 minutes for 45 minutes. Then do an ounce of protein. Hold off 15 minutes and start over.

Congrats!!!!! I started with 100 to lose. I'm down 30 in the first month. Hope I can have the same loss as you! Big inspiration!! Congrats again and keep rocking that sleeve!!

Isopure is typically well tolerated after surgery. I wasn't a fan of the taste especially while in ketosis. But it was better then nothing. Most docs recommend sugar free soon after surgery, which will have some form of artificial sweetener. I wouldn't advise someone to ditch something that isn't causing the problem for them. To the op I found that if my tummy was not happy that day I would do diluted juice. When I had my cycle right after surgery I found diluted white grape juice helped a lot. I would alternate the juice and Protein. I'm not sure what stage in the diet you are in, but those might help the angry tummy. Hope your feeling better soon!! :-)

That's what I worry about with rice.... I love rice but I worry it won't love me back...

It was. I'm slowly introducing new foods. 5 weeks out and finally brave enough to eat moist chicken. Waiting to introduce more carbs. But man rice would have been perfect. :-)

Lemon ginger chicken with teriyaki sauce and black beans... Pretty good. About 200 calories and 23g protein.

hthode if you want to add me.

Sleeved 2/26 down 30lbs and 35" overall.

If you get enough people I will do it. Just keep me informed of what you need and when you need it.

Deedee!! You look amazing!! Happy you checked back in to share your success!! Keep rocking that sleeve girl!! You got this! :-) :-) :-)

Thank you!!! My other NSV was walking past lane Bryant and knowing the clothes in there are too big. I had a pair of 14w from there and it gave me massive soggy bottom. 14 pants and xl tops. I almost squealed in the dressing room.

Had to buy new pants. Bought two pairs of jeans in size 14 from the Gap. Felt good buying those. :-)

Thank you!! I have lost almost 40 total and 29 since day of surgery. I did weekly pics for the first month. Now I'll probably start doing monthly.

So here are my official one month pics. First three are pre op. second three are one month post op.

Wow!! You look so good!! Big BIG congrats!!!

hthode on MFP. Anyone feel free to add if you would like.
