Wow.....you look gorgeous! What a curvy little body you have now too! That dress looks absolutely perfect on you! Thanks for sharing!

Hey everyone!
It's been a long time. Here are my results:
From 260 lbs to 160 lbs yess 100 lbs lost
Some pics
Good luck everyone im here to answer to any questions if u need

I found a couple online. I looked at Big Oven and a couple of the food network chef sites. The only thing I adjust is the crust. Here's a good one i like:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/country-quiche-recipe/index.html - I use only the egg whites and usually use turkey meat or bacon (nitrate free) in the place of the sasauge. I then grease a mini muffin tin and let me tell you, 3 of those minis keep me full for hours.
As an FYI, you might have to chop your veggies even smaller due to the small tins.

Hungry, hungry, hungry! I told my husband that tomorrow when I meet with my surgeon (1st time post-op appt), I'm going to demand a refund because I think he just poked some holes in my belly but left my tummy in. I hear my tummy growling all day long (& yes I've taken my PPI too) & I'm feeling hungry. He left the grehlin (?) part in there too!

Tell your doctor you want a refund, just like I'm doing tomorrow!

Today is my two week anniversary too. I've been hungry for two weeks!

That's awesome!!!

In my five years since vsg...I lost both my parents to heart disease and cancer. I am so so sorry for your loss. Stress = Weight Gain or Weight Stall for most of us.
Yoga, therapy, friends, church, love. ..knowing your mother wanted you to be taken care of and happy. You need to continue where she left off.
Love yourself like she loved and lived for you. You need to find it in you.
I lost my way and am just now trying to find my own way back. I know it's possible.

Tell your doctor you want a refund, just like I'm doing tomorrow!

Thanks so much, Pixie Dust! You'll get there. My 47 lb. loss includes 19 during 2 week
pre-op low carb diet. I'm sure it'll slow down, but it's nice for now.

I can so identify with you. I posted the same question after my sleeve. (I was sleeved two weeks ago today). I kept reading and hearing people in my support group say how they couldn't even finish the 1/4 cup of liquid broth. I was starving on my ten day post op liquid diet. I am now on a full liquid for one week (cottage cheese, yogurt) and I'm feeling much better. I still can devour my 1/4 cup rations in two minutes without any pain or issues and haven't felt that full feeling yet, but I dealing well with it. The folks on this site have been great, and I've been reassured I'll feel the fullness when I start eating normal food. I had read somewhere, and I can't recall, that maybe my stomach is still just numb from the surgery and that's why I don't get that ful feeling and feel hungry? Sounds like a good reason to me, so I'm sticking by it! I love your line about demanding a refund You are funny!!!!! Keep up the humor and we will get through this.

Yes. A lot of people are hungry in the liquid phase.

We all make mistakes - it's what we learn from them that counts. Don't beat yourself up - just move on

Jumping in here to also say that while you messed up, if you log your food, log this too. That way when you feel the urge to splurge again, you can look at this and remember how you felt.
No one on this forum is perfect, we all make mistakes. Learn from this and don't beat yourself up, or you may find yourself running to food for emotional relief. Get back on track for the rest of today and tomorrow.

Can you opt in at your job? Some employers allow part time employees to buy medical insurance. Even if you only paid the premium for 6 months to a year it would be cheaper than a self pay.

You look stunning! Of course, you were beautiful in your before pic as well, just more beautiful now! Congratulations! That little girl is an absolute DOLL too!

Does your employer offer more than 1 insurance plan? Some employers offer a few diff insurance companies & each insurance company offers different options. Just something to look into. You may have to wait till open enrollment, which is only once a year, but it could give you time to look around?

Picture diff is almost like mother/daughter! That's amazing! Congratulations to you!

Off topic but my son was non verbal until he was nearly 4.5 years old. Then music took him out of his silent world. I had him in therapy since he was 18 months. They had him carry 2 liter bottles of Water (old soda bottles filled with water). Something about opening his air way? I really don't remember but he loved carrying those heavy bottles. I guess it's good for them to do that. I think it's a good idea that he comes to see his mommie. Good luck to you!

Good luck on the surgery and congratulations on starting a wonderful new life.

I told my husband I wanted to be sleeved. One year ago I picked up the phone and made my first appointment. I am now 6 months post op, down 86lbs. I started in size 22 pants and 3xl tops. I am now in size 14 pants and almost ready to move to L tops. What a great decision!
