  1. Tomorrow I go back to work. Today I attended an event at work. It was the first they have seen me in a little over two weeks. One person who I consider a friend, but not real close, commented about my weight loss (about 30 pounds in the last month with the pre surgery diet) and noted that something must be wrong that I lost all that weight in such a short time. I had told coworkers I was off two weeks for medical purposes, but didn't want her to believe I had something dire wrong with me, so commented that I had the surgery. She said "oh", walked away, and didn't mention it again. Wow! That's why I don't want to tell people but I also don't want to lie or lead them to believe I am wasting away with cancer or something. This will be an interesting return to work as I will have to field questions or just know I am being gossiped about. The gossip I can handle. It's the rejection or whatever that bothers me.

  2. Thinking I need to get back on the site for more support to make better decisions for myself. Sometimes I need a reminder of what I am suppose to be doing and the best way to do it!

  3. I want pizza so bad!! I hope the bari recipe kills the caving.

      My boyfriend is a very talented hobby Mediterranean Chef from Malta. He has kindly adjusted every recipe in the house for me , including pizza. He takes my favorite pizza toppings and bakes them inside a half of an eggplant and mixes the eggplant mashed up in the tomato sauce.

       

      He has also used a meatloaf recipe and shaped that into a crust. Just get creative. There are a lot of querky things you can do to your old favorites.

  4. A forever stall and the culprit is Skinny Pop Popcorn and Pumpkin Seeds. Not over eating because I can't but definitely grazing like mad and not eating the protein that I should. I had a spark of inspiration and then it fizzled. Maybe I just need to get my mouth wired shut!

  5. Feeling relieved! My 3 level cervical spinal fusion went very well yesterday. Of course I have a lot of pai and a very sore throat but already I have relief of tingling and nerve pain down my arms! One more night in the hospital and I go home. Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes. I swear I felt my family and friends including my bariatric pal family surrounding me.

  17. Just had a great cardio workout! What a way to start the day.

  18. ate dinner a bit too fast...so much regret after

  19. I mowed my front yard yesterday, with a push mower, by myself, all of it, without stopping, I know it may not sounds like much to you. This is something I haven't be able to do in 10-15 years! I'm on cloud 9. The little things do count!

  20. Day 3 Pre Op Diet.... and im not dead from starvation... Its actually going ok. :)

  21. Yeah! My move is over and I was able to get back on my elliptical and treadmill today! I feel great!

  22. Nectar Pink Grapefruit 'tis the flavor of the morning! Yummy! Probably my 2nd favorite so far

  23. When I was obese, I dressed appropriately for work, but did not really try to dress creatively. My colors mostly matched but most of them were dark and boring. Now that I have lost so much weight, I'm paying more attention to my outfits and have really been enjoying bright colors. It's too bad that I didn't have the confidence (or the interest) to dress nicer when I was fat. I'm having so much fun shopping and putting outfits together. But I really could have been doing something like this before. Too bad I didn't.

  24. Hello everyone im done with my pre opt tests now hopefully the surgery date will be schedualed soon im still not sure of witch surgery i want the gastric bypass or sleeve
