My fqmily is totally on board too. My son is having the sleeve in October and has lost over 90 on his own so far. My girls joined a gym yesterday and my hubby is watching his food as well. He needs to cuz he is diabetic. Makes it easier when everyone is on the same page! Hope you survived the night and are sleeping good now. We are having a thunderstorm and I cojld take a nice long nap.

I had my surgery at a naval hospital that is 5 hours away. I think I will call them and ask what my Protein should be. I didn't know about the egg whites in drinks. meat Protein doesn't really work for me and some days (like today) my pouch is a grouch. I get nausea when I eat, so I drink protein shakes. Thanks for the ideas.

I'm digging this forum. Another form of accountability. Thanks for starting it.

True confession time. This has to be our secret. If you tell anyone I said this I'll deny it. You ready? Here goes - I weigh pretty much every day. BUT - I didn't until my weight had stabilized. When I was in the rapid weight loss part of the journey and I'd lose five pounds one week and nothing the next, it was too much of an emotional roller coaster. But when my body decided it was where it wanted to be, weighing every day made a lot more sense and is a lot more FUN!
Shhhhhh - our secret!!

Went to take my therapy dog to the local VA hospital...put on the fanny pack with the treat pouch and it was about 10 inches too big...yay!

Just bought a pair of Levi's size 16!!! Woot woot!! They slid right on. I just held them up and I'm still amazed at how small they look. Can't wait til I'm in the single digits.

My surgery was 2 days after you (4/17)
Yes - I AM WITH YOU
I am going through same thoughts
I have some days where I am content to barely eat much, then for a moment I will crave a KFC nugget.
I am COMPLETELY ambivolent about food. I could care less what I eat, when I eat, or even if I do eat.
I have also become a little turned off by the quantities of food I watch my family consume - even the 2 tiny family members eat a MOUND of dinner. I dont get it, though I suppose it was me at times.
Even my past favorite foods are not interesting to me.
I am only down 17 lbs in 6 weeks. Still better than gaining!!!

My surgery is also the 25th. Good luck and keep in touch.
