circa

Just got back from a 3 week trip for work - while there I had to buy some new clothes and that was great . I also could relax in the tub - still not as comfortably as I would like, but enough to fall asleep in there!
The big Nsv for me was getting out of my hot tub and grabbing my usual towel that doesn't quite fit around me and what do you know!?! It more than fit around me! I had a good 6 inch overlap where there used to be about a 4 inch gap!
I haven't been paying attention to a scale - being out of town makes that near impossible - when I got back I had lost another 10 lbs in that 3 weeks and I was bloated from that time of month and from travelling.
I celebrated with a nice pedicure

I use Simply fruit preserves. No artificial sweetners at all in them and it mixes in nicely for a treat - great in cottage cheese too

Everyone's body processes differently. A calorie is not just a calorie. My body HATES carbs - loves Protein. My sister's body does well with carbs. I've run half marathons on nothing but green leafy carbs. No grains whatsoever - and I don't mean just in the immediate. I've gone months without any grains and continually run 5 miles a day, and even half marathons on weekends. However, many of the people I used to run with could not possibly run without carbing up.
Bottom line, find out what your body is asking you for. Good luck

Lord I'm gonna have so much done they should probably just transplant my head on another body. Arms need to be done, gonna need a body lift I'm sure and well, the girls are gonna be put back where they belong.
Luckily. the breasts will still probably be a reduction so I should get that paid for by insurance. Everything else will be out of pocket.

set the chicken aside and try it at a later date. Try tilapia - its not a "fishy" fish - and it pretty much, like chicken takes on the flavors of what you prepare it with. Grilled pork loin chops are another option - nice lean meat - gives you a bit of Iron and very tasty! There's always strip steaks, which are lower in fat. Stay away from tbones and ribeyes. They're very high in fat.

April 26th 2011 down 180lbs woot woot!

I have a "Celebration of Life" formal dinner and dance to attend tonight given by my surgeon... I bought 2 new dresses last week.. went by the store to get pantyhose... saw a black dress that I HAD to have... along w/ a new bra, Spanx and jewelry!!! And $250 later... I forgot my hose!!! LOL
I probably won't be able to wear this dress next week, but Imma wear the heck out of it tonight!!! (And it's 2 sizes smaller that what I normally have to buy in formalwear!!!)

There is a really good Lean Cusine that I love that's chicken with cream spinach. It's pretty low in calories and fat and carbs. I bought a bunch when I found them because who knows if I'll be able to find it again.
If I buy those things, I usually just throw away whatever carbs are in them. Healthy Choice is the lowest in sodium.

glucerna has a Protein Shake line - and even on "clears" I was drinking Protein Shakes - so perhaps!

sushi is something I miss very much - I can't eat much seafood because of the high copper content - but I did have a little not that long ago - I agree with previous posters - it very well could be the rice - try eating it without the rice

Have you tried the premiere Protein shakes? They have them at both sams and costco. They have vanilla and chocolate. They're 30g of Protein each - 11 oz. They're not thick and don't have an aftertaste. The chocolate tastes like chocolate milk and the vanilla tastes like regular milk with a little vanilla flavoring - not overpowering at all. I wouldn't get my protein in at this point without them - they're my breakfast every day

I did think it was going to be a bit faster, seeing how much I do have to lose. Hopefully getting the exercise going will definitely speed it up. I feel my clothes getting looser and I see it in my face, so hopefully my body catches up!

Yes, you're not quite ready for cats yet. Those are definitely a slider food.

I don't know if circa will reveal her supplier. I just go to the park after dark. :ph34r:
Not as good as canned, though.
P.S.
Use real vanilla, none of that imitation will do.

If you're a medical student, why didn't you learn more about the operation? 40 days out is less than 7 weeks. Your stomach isn't even fully healed yet and you're shoving chips and snacks and burgers down it? You of all people should know, nothing happens overnight. If you think the surgery is stupid, perhaps you should have done more research before having the surgery.

This board isn't a democracy

yeah I smell a troll - 700ml of orange juice every day would cause mouth sores from the acid. Not to mention, that's about 350 calores, 75 carbs and only about 6 grams of Protein. Not a wise choice. Med student or not, no one is this ridiculous
I find it amazing that there are people out there with nothing better to do than try to sabotage people that are trying to better their health - people they DON'T EVEN KNOW.

ground red meat is particularly difficult to digest, including from the mouth - yes, that's where digestion starts, in the mouth. Maybe the reason you couldn't swallow it is because you shouldn't be.

What I find interesting is that this person won't state what his diet is, has already stated he wouldn't listen to his surgeon - he was just going to google it and be done - that's all he needs. Well, I guess you have gotten what you've prepared for. Too bad you didn't pay attention and still won't.

Ya, I'm sick of this stupid sleeve telling me what to do!
I wanna go back to ordering one large pizza for me and the other one for my family.
I wanna go back to buying my clothes at the Goodwill because I'm off the rack in retail stores.
I wanna go back to puffing like the little engine that could every time I climb the stairs to my bedroom.
I don't need no stinking operation ordering ME around!
I went to college!!!!
