Of course you could make it lower in calories if you use chicken breast and low fat cheese.

And BTW OP.. This is a public forum. You asked a question and some of us answered, but apparently you don't like our answer. So you call us names?
Please, play nicely

This has also been a big hope/goal for me. I have recently been able to order the larger sizes at the Gap, and I just love their dress pants for work. I'm thinking goodbye to LB too!
Congratulations on your success! I see we have similar starting numbers and goals!

Got on the scale this morning and 20lbs down from surgery! Exactly 2 weeks from the day of my surgery, that makes 32lbs all together!! I'm so excited.

I agree and personally refuse to engage in that stuff. I come on he to support and be supported! There really is no need for that stuff on here!

It's rather saddening when I'm reading threads on here and find people start bickering. I've posted elsewhere about this, but I think it deserves repeating.
Message boards, by their very nature, do not allow the reader to have the physical cues of eye contact, facial expression, or tone of voice that one has in face-to-face conversations. This can make a poster's intended tone and message easy to misinterpret. It's very important to keep this in mind when reading posts, and to give people the benefit of the doubt when you start to feel upset about something they said or the 'way' in which you felt they said it.
I honestly don't think anyone comes on here to be mean, nasty, or to try to insult people. Perhaps one person doesn't get another's sense of humor, or just misses the real point behind what someone is trying to say. But rather than letting things dissolve into nasty back-and-forth sniping that ends up getting more people upset, administrators involved, and running threads that the original posters made to honestly seek information and advice off-track, there is a simple solution. If you find that you simply don't like the way someone expresses themself on here, you can use the ignore settings. That way you don't have to ever read anything they post again. Simply click on the arrow next to your name at the top right of the screen, click on "Manage Ignore Prefs", and enter the name of that user. You can ignore their posts, signatures, and private messages. Simple solution, yes?
If you get into this kind of back and forth bickering and this solution isn't to your liking, then perhaps you should reexamine your reasons for being here...
Just my 2 cents worth...

That's AMAZING! Congratulations!

Steve

Congratulations!

Some NSV's to share: (in no particular order)

What are your recent NSV's? Please share

That's amazing! Congratulations! You look FABULOUS!

Wow - you look amazing! Congratulations!

As I was neatening up around the kitchen and pantry today, I realized a couple of things.....
We bought 2 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies from a neighbor this year. Last year,we would have bought double the amount and they would have lasted maybe 48 hours in this house before being decimated. We've now had them for over 2 weeks and still have an entire box left. I truly forget they are there, and never care to have more than one cookie as a treat once a week or so.
Another - my husband's birthday was not too long ago and a friend baked an amazing homemade cake for him. Half of it went uneaten before it had to be thrown out today. Cake in the trash??!! That would have NEVER happened before my surgery.
This, my friends, is progress!

You are looking good!

ShrinkyDinkMe22 hi there!!!!
seeing less and less of you as you lose more and more weight

you've done great
nice picture, but.........
i think i sprained my neck bending over sideways to look at your picture
it was worth it, seeing your lovely face
but..........
you'll be hearing from my lawyer

Congratulations!

i loved your post - honeymoon period, it does stop/slow down at certain point, whether 6 months or a year. it eventually does stop.
"process doesn't end for me when i get to goal" - that's the part that people should understand, this isn't something that once you reach a certain weight, or goal - you must still continue to work to sustain your new great weight
trying hard to make this new lifestyle/health/weight last forever - "honeymoon" has ended ...but. not your life
after 21 years - my "honeymoon" might have stalled/slow downed a bit
but i will continue to enjoy my "honeymoon" life with my DH, still working to "maintain" but live with my continued happiness for ever

Saw this on the Skinny Taste blog and thought it was worth a try. It was really delicious - though I think the 1.5 cups of Greek yogurt was overkill for 16 ounces of chicken. I might try just a cup next time and that saves some carbs. Made as is in the recipe, MFP calculated the nutrition per serving (for 8 total servings ) at 116 calories, 7 carbs, 4 grams fat, 14 grams protein!
Pistachio Cinnamon chicken salad
16 oz cooked shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups Fat-Free Greek plain yogurt
½ cup pistachios, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp fresh lime juice
4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 scallions, finely chopped
Shred cooked chicken breast using a fork; place in a large mixing bowl.
Add remaining ingredients; gently toss to combine. Transfer to serving bowls. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Sprinkle with additional scallions.

Congratulations!

I weigh less than my husband. That is all!

I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream
I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!

Dana for years, prior to WLS of course
DH would say to me - "i want some popcorn", lets go to the movies
doc gave me "permission" to have popcorn a few months post op (sorry, don't remember when)
now when DH and i go to the movies he will still have his GIGANTIC tub of BUTTERED popcorn!!!!
(he knows he needs to loose about 75 lbs, but he doesn't have the will or the motivation )
i will get a plain SMALL popcorn (i luck out, not big on butter, NEVER butter on popcorn)
i know movie popcorn is not the healthiest, and i know i COULD bring from home some better popcorn
but..... i don't want to
the "mental" aspect of having movie popcorn is great for me
for home, i will buy a box of orville redonbocker small popcorn bags that have 100 calories , never have a problem with digestion
i know, i know, too many carbs - but as a treat on an occasion - popcorn won't kill me!!!
tomorrow going to movies - bruce willis die hard sequil
woo hoo - popcorn city

Ok well now I got your attention hopefully I want to ask you all a question? How did you get through your last couple of weeks before surgery? Mine is scheduled for march 25th. I was just wondering how you said good by to your old self and also how the heck to pass the time? All I think about is this surgery.

Noticed I can eat most anything just not alot. Crazy how little I need to feel full!! I am happy I can still eat whatever!! Just very careful. I am having a hard time to remember to eat when I am busy... Love the sleeve. Top reason I chose this over the bi-pass.

Congratulations!
