  1. I now eat differently and find that many of the meals I make for myself don't work as well for family meals so I find myself making my food and their food (or my husband makes his own food). We all eat healthy but it's things like spagetti squash or PB2 chicken with Shirataki noodles that are a no-go! my husband has lost 10 pounds just by eating some of my meals which puts him at his ideal body weight. My 5 year old eats limited foods and is underweight so it's common we fix her own dinner (usually high Protein noodles with butter and Parmesan or grilled chicken and black beans). There's days all three of us eat different food! Just wondering how everyone else is handling their new lifestyle and incorporating it into a family friendly lifestyle.

    Caffeine detox

    I got a migraine so bad that I started throwing up violently. But was better after a few days. Although at 6 weeks post op, I added regular coffee back into my diet. 1-2 cups a day

    3 years post op

    Wow! You look incredible (and not anywhere near 46!). Did you need any plastic surgery? I started at a size 16/18 and am wondering if I will need any work done (although a boob job is probably going to be necessary). It's so inspiring to see success post maintenance! Thanks for sharing and love the pics!
  4. I have had more breakouts as well. And 3 days after surgery, I had a severe skin reaction which required steroid cream- it was so horrible but cleared up. I think it was an allergic reaction.

    Healthy Reuben

    Have you tried boarshead pastrami or pastrami turkey- both are surprisingly lean!

    Fish Recipes?

    I live in FL and my husband is an avid fisherman so we eat fish almost every week (he caught 2 lobsters today and 4 snappers) I personally love blackened fish using chef Paul brand seasoning. We also make a type of creole fish where I sautée peppers, onions and garlic, add a can of tomato sauce (not spagetti sauce) and sazon saffron seasoning, bay leaf, white wine and chili pepper flakes let the sauce simmer a bit then add the fish cut into cubes.mit cooks quick-10 minutes or so. We also make ceviche but I only recommend that with really fresh fish For a firmer thick fish like swordfish, the absolute best hands down, is a marinade made of fresh minced garlic, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice and zest, and vegetable oil. I can find the proportions (have it written somewhere). Marinate the fish for several hours then cook on the grill
  8. I am so lucky that anything and everything goes down and feels fine. I have tried it all, even rice and Pasta but I also didn't get that much restriction (which I have mixed feelings about- happy I can still enjoy food and unhappy I can still enjoy food!) Have you tried other types of beans- black Beans or black bean Soup is a fav of mine. How does tuna fish salad work for you?

    hot dog

    There's no reason I can think why you can't have one. Get the boars head reduced fat brand and instead of the bun, use josephs low carb pita. I am not a fan of hotdogs personally and honestly don't remember the last time I ate one. My husband likes them and the board head have only 6 grams of fat

    30 day, 100% RAW FOOD challenge

    How you doing on the raw?
  11. I was told no travel for 6 weeks but that's primarily due to the risk of blood clots from sitting too long. If you can get an isle seat and get up to walk/ stretch, you should be fine. My trips are 9-26 hours so that is why I was on restricted travel.
  12. I had plication and I can eat even more than that at 10 weeks out. A whole lean cuisine is no problem for me either. It's distressing but I eat less than I used to and am using this as motivation to make good choices. It might ean slower weight loss but that's ok. Just kep up the good work!
  13. Crazy how so many men can eat whatever they want (I know not all of them) and if they do gain a few pounds, they drop it so easy!

    Long trip snacks

    Grapes are high in sugar so don't know if they are a great option. There's a low carb pita with only 50 calories if you are allowed to have that, make a turkey and cheese pita with mustard and light mayo. If you can't, just make deli eat and cheese Roll ups and pack in a small cooler, along with a RTD protein drink, bottled water and some almonds. All easy to eat and drive.
