When you are healing you won't really eat much of anything. I kept the ready made Premier Protein chocolate drinks on hand for liquid as well as broth. For puréed Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Tomato Soup, scrambled eggs. For soft canned tuna and canned chicken, hummus.

Unbelievable! Congrats on 130 that's amazing!

From my mother in law last weekend: your getting so thin you don't have a butt anymore. Lol...gotta love her!

Lets all share our best and worst well meaning compliments about our weight loss.
My best was after returning to work after summer break: where'd you go this summer?! I mean where'd you go? Half of you is gone!
Oddest (considering it came from my mother in law): look at you! You're nothing but boobs!
Rudest: wow you lost all that weight and it found me. (Yes I am now responsible for others weight gain)
But the nicest compliments are the simple, you look great! I know they mean my weight loss and I appreciate the subtlety.
What are yours?

Today's weight 214.4
Goal weight 210

Lol,I'm glad my son doesn't have that kind because he would of learned some choice words from me very early on

Ya, the kids can be mean. With my son either he is oblivious to their teasing or they just don't tease him. He's funny though, he said he wishes he had the kind of Tourette's where you blurt out obscenities because then he could get away with cussing. Lol. And What About Bob is one of his favorite movies!

Yes my son is wonderful and creative and I wouldn't trade that for "normalcy." His co morbid is ADHD which has turned out to be a pain to treat because most medications can aggravate the tics, so we are still trying to get that right. His neurologist seems to think it might get better over time. He is however very moody lol.

That's interesting, my son has Tourette's too. It's very manageable with his meds but poor kid, before he was officially diagnosed and treated his twitches, tics and sounds were very distracting. He's been medicated since he was 9 and we are very happy with the results. Interesting because I don't know anyone else who has it.

To make the rest of you feel better, 33-34 pounds in 7 weeks is not slow at all! I don't know why your surgeon even put that idea in your head. You both are doing great! To put it in perspective, I have only lost 52 pounds in almost six months and my surgeon has said nothing negative about my loss rate which is a little over 2 pounds a week (now that's slow, but still happy). My surgeon said everyone loses at a different rate and to just not compare myself to others. Good advice.

Yes this happened to me at Thanksgiving because I kind of put a lot on my plate because I was self conscious and then I just pushed the food around. Kind of silly. But also scary because I had no idea whatsoever of the quantity I ate. My MIL is obsessed with what I order at restaurants and she doesn't know about my surgery, so I mostly did this to placate her. I'm glad I'm back to my usual tracking because I felt a little out of control.

I know! My surgeon would have never said that. I am hoping it was a poorly worded reaction resulting in a misunderstanding. I think the OP is doing great!

I made my goal of 220! Today's weight 218.2!

Count me in! Starting weight 218.8...goal weight 208.

I made my goal of 220! Today's weight 218.2!

Oh I know...I try to be excited but it's not there...it's like it's more about survival...but I am gonna overlook it today...Oh yes...LOL

Thank you! I have an appt with my dr in two weeks but I am going to call him in a few days to let him know how the Pepcid is going. Today I feel great, no pain no hunger. And I haven't had any oranges or coffee.
