I don't need the consistently rude and unhelpful comments made by the poster who seems to get her kicks being a bully. Haven't we all suffered enough from bullies? I thought that this was a safe space. I really thought we could learn from each other and part of that is that we would feel safe to post even when we made mistakes. And more than that, sometimes what our doctors and nuts tell us differs greatly. I am allowed to eat things I have seen others aren't. For instance, I can have an orange or a piece of toast or a few sips of wine. I have had a few sips of wine, a bite of toast and a segment of orange. Down 38 lbs in 6 weeks.

I'm going to look for some! We had lamb and veggies.

That looks beautiful! Is bison tender or do you have to cook it for a long time?

About an ounce and a half of pot roast, three bites of mashed potatoes, two bites of broccoli. Yum.

I juice every day. I use all organic veggies and fruit-- one apple, two celery stalks, one carrot, two or three strawberries, chunk of lemon, handful of lettuce. Makes 6-7 ounces and has about 60 calories and tons of vitamins. I use an old acme juicer that lets some pulp in. I used to be constipated, but that is no longer an issue. I am almost 6 weeks out and down 38 lbs. my nut is very pleased with my results and with the juicing.

Call your doctor right away. I don't think that's what should be happening.

Roasted leg of lamb, a bite of sweet potato, asparagus tips. Yum.

I think it would be too thick with a blender. I really love my juice!

Wonderful progress! Congrats!!!

I know what you mean. I lost 41 and I don't have to shop yet, but lots of clothes are looking baggy. Yeah!

HW 291 (had thought it was 288 until I checked at last doc visit) DOS 2/28/13 277 CW 250 That would be 41 lbs gone!!!!!!

Sautéed spinach with a poached egg on top sprinkled with bacon crumbs. Yum. Ate most of the egg.

Just had my checkup. 36 lbs gone since Feb 1--my highest weight of 291. Surgery 2/28. I feel fantastic!

1/8 cup chicken, few bites each of spinach and sweet potato.

Whats that line: " You can never be too rich or too thin." Add that you're working on the rich part!

You'll love it and it will make your cravings go away.

I have eaten it a few times-- just limit to about 3 1/2 ounces and no toppings. It is wonderful and very similar to non-frozen sugar free yogurt.

3/4 of a chicken parm muffin (egg face blog), two bites of potato and two asparagus tips.

Had a great evening--went to very lovely restaurant with friends to celebrate a birthday. The menu was great--but I just didn't want to deal with ordering a big entree and boxing it up so I asked if I could just get two or three scallops. Yes! They do that. They called it an add on and I got a lovely plate of three scallops with a sauce I could use if needed. I ate one and a half and gave the others to my friend. It was great! And I felt like a normal person. Not bad for five weeks post surgery!

No horror stories from me. I had very little pain after the first few days, and those days the pain was well controlled. Afterwards I was sore but had no trouble drinking my food. The only problem I had was at week four-- my pouch was inflamed (normal) and I needed to take maloox to coat it. Now I am great! Just learning my "I'm full!" Cues. I am down 26 lbs from date of surgery, 36 lbs since I started. Surgery was 2/28/13.

Here you go! I used turkey pepperoni. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2008/03/pizza-bites.html?m=1

Shelly's pizza bites. Yum! I ate two and they were great. Another excellent egg face recipe
