I agree with what was said on the other thread...maybe she's feeling insecure & afraid what might happen when your looking & feeling good! I know many years ago when I lost over 100 lbs & my husband started losing too..I became insecure & jealous! I would try & sabotage his weight loss by making his fav meals, etc. It was my problem...not his! Now we are both on this journey again....me sleeved & he trying on his own...but I feel totally different this time & we support each other. Maybe if you assure her how much you love her & talk about all the things you two will soon be able to do TOGETHER....she will get on board. Good luck on your journey!

Good luck!

Yay Carriesjourney...I couldn't find you original post! Hope you don't mind me sharing your recipe. Even my grandkids get in the freezer & steal mine! Lol

I also had a hernia repair...no pain...just said may feel a little tight when swallowing, but I didn't notice any difference!

That's a great ideal, it always helps to have a buddy! & Jenny that is a great reason to sleeve! I pray you have success in both areas!

I'm going to have to have mine checked...I know I have been deficient in the past. Anyone know of a goos calcium supplement? I just read that I'm supposed to be taking 2 of the chewables I have...& their way too sweet for me! :-/

I wish I could just drink protein shakes! My surgeon said it's not good for me & he'd much rather I eat my protein instead of drink it! I still have to try & squeeze in a shake or I don't get my protein in! :-/

Ditto...I've lost & regained this 100 lbs so many times! I want it gone forever & trust me....I tried everything before surgery...for me it was a no brainer!

I agree with Traci...gas x strips are amazing!

My surgeon said he no longer does the bypass...only the sleeve. He said there were too many complications & therefore it was Safer for him, & his patients....& the end results were the same.

For me the "dumping syndrome" associated with the bypass was something I wanted to avoid! My sister had the bypass, she had DS bad...& a yr & 1/2 later still does!

Trying to psych myself up...I have a dr apt Friday & will have to weigh...I've been avoiding the scales like the plague!! :-/

Yep...I use them frequently!

Yep, everyday is better! Hang in there!

I was cleared for solids 2 wks out. I agree, his choices are not the healthiest...& not what I choose to eat...but it's HIS journey & his right to do it as he see's fit. He DID make his point about how little he eats now!

Can't wait! :-)

The edamame has 12 g carbs, 9 g protein. I know their high in sodium...but I still never even touch the daily allowance.

One LAST two meals! Lol....I also eat alot of beans. Oh...& the frozen steam able edamame single serve boxes are high in protein & yummy!

Atkins has frozen meals which are high in prtein & low in carbs. I use them for work...one lady's two meals.
