I tried the powder chocolate flavored P-nut butter in my Unjury choc shake.. wow.. what a great combo! It added a bit more Protein and felt sinful.

Thanks friends!!!! I think my excitement has set it!

I knew you could do it, Kimi!!! Congrats!

I'm 46 and will be a few days shy of eating regular food again when my hubby and I hit our 30th wedding anniversary this valentines day. No reservations at a nice restaurant this year, but we are both too excited by my journey to care. I'm so looking forward to the new me emerging over the coming year and all the things we can do together. Loving life right now.

Even if it doesn't work immediately at least it's in writing so your paper trail is started. Good luck getting it resolved.

Turkey meatloaf (no veggies). 1lb white meat ground turkey. Onion powder. Garlic powder. Parsley. Salt pepper. 1/4 cup egg substitute...8 oz of Tomato sauce (or juice). Bake 350 for hour and purée with gravy! Add a tbspn of mashed if u are carbs allowed

Sorry, just saw your comment - I used fresh shredded parmesan.

The cauliflower recipe sounds fantastic! Can I ask if you use fresh shredded Parmesan or the powder stuff in the Pasta aisle?

That sounds like dirty pool to me. I'm so thankful i have kaiser since its like going to an all inclusive resort. Everything's included and there's no waiting for approval. Wish everybody had it as good as I do. Hope you get it all straightened out.

How about no more "fat bows" on your shoes! For those who haven't noticed...look at fat peoples tennis shoes! Bows are always to the side! Lol

Kimi, maybe you need to increase your calories for a few days? Sounds like you're being pretty strict trying to get that last lb off. I know you must be so frustrated but you're going to make it. A few days longer won't matter once you finally reach your goal. You have a whole life ahead of you.

You look fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing your pics. I'm only 2 weeks out and can't wait to be where you are. Wishing life had a fast forward button right now.

I don't have pain if I eat too much it just wants to keep trying to come back up my esophagus. Then I spend the next hour or more trying to keep it down. Really annoying. I'm still on full liquids and have been trying to actually eat something 3 times a day like cream of wheat or a Soup, but really I feel better when I don't. It's like alcohol though. No real signs while I'm eating then about 10 mins after a meal WHAM it hits me. Too late by that time.

I got surgery because I woke up every day of the last 2 decades thinking I was living in somebody else's body. I was thin growing up and into my early 20's. I hated that I didn't feel like me. Of course that is partly vanity but also just got so tired of daily life being effected by my inability to move and do things I wanted to do. I had no comorbidities either but certainly didn't want to develop them. I rarely buy clothes because they never fit right or make me look attractive so what's the use. I already feel so much better with a 50lb weight loss and can't wait to feel like the real me again.

Thank you so much MIZZZLIZA for doing the math!

Sleeved on the 9th. Down 10lbs since then but wondering if I'm going to keep losing at that rate now that I've added full liquids in. It seemed much easier to get all my fluids in when I was only drinking clears. Now that I need to accommodate 64 oz clear plus the Protein Shakes and Soups its more of a struggle. It seems that the day is a constant sip sip sip but not hungry at all. Some sort of weird alternate universe I've been transported into.

They tried 3 times on me with no luck. Finally the CRNA had to start my IV cause the surgeon was waiting lol.

I feel like I've been run over lol.

Really?

I was sleeved on the 7th and I feel the same way about the shakes. It takes me so long to drink one!
