During purée stage, I made tacos for the kids' dinner and decided to try it. meat, cheese and sour cream blended nicely.
On vacation, I had a beignet.
I chew gum ALOT.
I have a glass of Cheerwine (a regional soda) and a slice of pizza on Tuesday nights (not every, but occasionally). I can eat the crust, use a straw and soda is not flat or diet. It's the only place in town it's on tap, so it's a special treat.
Sleeve o' Steel here, but I behave at home usually.
Too bad I'm boarding a cruise ship in the morning! Thank goodness I don't like chocolate!

Please, please, please don't keep this to yourself. Speak to your doctor ASAP. The thread is a lark, true confessions, but we're just having fun. Yours is super serious and you need to talk to someone before your life is in serious danger. Do Not Wait!
My heart is breaking for you.

I am 5 months out, Thursday. After I got home from the hospital, things were pretty uneventful for me, as well. My ability to eat/drink anything comfortably is a concern because it's not a problem, but that's about it.
My sister-in-law is planning her surgery based on how "easy" I've had it. I pray she also has a positive experience, although I warn her everybody's "journey" is different.
I don't feel guilty. I feel thankful, but wary. It's now a head game, forever and ever more.

My husband last week informed me he'd be happy to help me reach my Protein goals. He had actually looked up the gram count. LMAO
Talk about getting on board...
But thanks for the heads up! Lol!

It also removed dead skin cells and is good for the lymphatic system. I learned to use straight strokes, not circular, always brush toward the heart.
My skin feels better (softer), not sure if it will look better.

Hi I have just posted on another thread about thermage.
Google and you tube it if you like.
I will certainly use it in the future.
The instrument cools the surface of the skin and heats the lower layers causing the collagen fibers to shrink and get thicker, this smoothes out the skin and gives new support.

I got it from this blog. I got all ingredients from Amazon. It is heavenly. Makes you smell like a chocolate bar for 20 minutes or so after application. I consider that a plus!

We just have to cut some people some slack. Often times these people have never known us as anything but obese. Suddenly we're shrinking right before their eyes. They don't know what to say....they only know we no longer fit their mental image of us. Eventually their mental image of us will readjust to our new selves....but it will be slow to happen.
It's certainly better than them seeing us gain weight.

I confess that exercise is my crossover addiction. And now that I cannot exercise I have replaced it with shopping. When I max out my credit cards I may turn to Internet porn.
As of now the porn is just a hobby.

I've lost over 200 pounds and I feel incredible. I'm so happy I decided to have this life changing Operation done. For many years I felt that I gave up and I was passed the point of no return finally after having the surgery it gave me my life back now I work out every day I eat right and I am so excited that I can go into regular department stores and get the clothes that I want, exercise the way I want, it truly is amazing. whenever you feel that you can't do it anymore you can't give up. One thing that I really regret is that I gave up and lost 10 years of my life feeling that I wasn't good enough for anything. I can't get those years back but from this point on I look at it as a new chapter in my life to where I can move on and really enjoy the things that I've always

I am 44 and suffer from premature osteoarthritis. Having lost 75 lbs now, I cannot express my joy at how much better I feel. Maybe not younger, but oh so much better.

There are some of the funniest, awful, hysterical, gut wrenching reviews on Amazon for Haribo sugar free Gummy bears. I laughed so hard I cried.

I've had absolute strangers compliment me several times, so they don't know I've lost weight, just that I look pretty, happy, etc. it's odd, but the most flattering of all.
And I like when my dry cleaner says "Hi, Slim!"

My very first soft food was a puréed deviled egg. It was delicious!

Looking great, BTB! In another month, you'll be used to yet another new normal.
