I too am not hungry in the morning! I force myself to eat something. I drink a hot coco protein mix I got from the doctors office it has 15 grams of protein. I wait until 830 or 9 to eat something but its hard. Feeling for ya

Ymmy thank you so much!!

I just had that happen to me this morning. My sister was walking behind me and says....(geesh sis you really have lost a bunch of weight, I don't see fat anymore) then looks at me and says sorry that came out wrong! I love her but It's and example of how people see you. It brought me back to my younger years when she used to tease me about being chubby. Old feeling welled....then I brought myself back to the knowledge I DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I took control. Anyway I totally understand Your success is inspiring!!! Congrats

I'm with ya!! I think a loss is a loss but Its strange how we break it down to people. Here it's different. Everyone does a breakdown which is helpful and so inspiring!!

I had 4 fish sticks one night for dinner 5 1/2 wks out and beat myself up for days. Then I read on a thread here it want considered much of a cheat! huh But please please please follow the plan it's so worth it in the end!!! Good luck on your journey!!

Tuna and crackers.....very boring after the post above!!! ^^^^^ lordy that looks yummy

OK, I'm wondering when asked about how much weight you've lost do you reply with the total amount. Meaning from the first doctors appointment, to include the medically supervised diet and pre op diet. Or just from the day of surgery on? Do you tell different people different weights, as in 50 since surgery and 60 before for a total of 110? Or on here is it the total over all or just since surgery? I find myself telling family and friends the longer version, and on here on my ticker just since surgery. Just wondering how others view there success? Any comments are helpful

My surgeon used a 40 bogie. Which I didn't find out until I asked 2 wks after. It took me a few to be ok with it but I'm glad he did. I can eat 1/2 cup or 4oz of food at one time and sometimes I cant even finish that. I read somewhere it may depend on your stomach, if its long or if its short. But I'm not a doctor so IDK

Congrats you look amazing!

I love before and after! Wow!!! Great work! You both look happy and healthy! Congrats

OH YUMMY!!! Thank you for sharing! I've been thinking about pumpkin coffees for weeks!!

White Chicken Chili with gluten free cornbread been eating it for 3 days....yummy

I'm 7 wks out with a loss of 35 pounds. At 6 wks I got turned lose to eat regular foods Hafta say It was a great day!! I've ate white chicken chili with gluten free cornbread ,taco's, Omelets with, ham, taco meat (left over from dinner the night before) along with some of the fixin's and cheese .Broccoli cheese soup. Meat loaf. Quiche with turkey, ham or just cheese and veggies. Today I try'd bbq pork jerky as a snack.. (it was heaven) Turkey meatballs with cream of mushroom soup. Turkey meatballs with 0 calories, 0 sugar ect dressing. Tonight I made a recipe I found on here for cheesy meatballs (3 oz) and try'd steamed carrots (1 oz) total 4 oz. didn't even finish my meal. 2 bites of meat left and 2 of carrots. Also tuna fish and crackers. It was a great feeling knowing I had our tool to stop me from eating until I puke!

No cholesterol issues here. That makes perfect since! Then I will eat my whole egg, enjoy it and just count it in my calories!!! Thank you

Ok, so I was wondering if eating a whole boiled egg is better or if just the egg whites are? I don't mind eating them either way as long as I have some salt on them. I just want to do the correct thing eating wise. Does it depend on my daily calorie intake to really decide to eat or not to eat yoke. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

I was on Prilosec also for the first month. I did find however it wasn't enough to stop it from creeping up on me. I used liquid Gaviscon. I keep it in the fridge. hope that helps

It will happen!! I used to sweat just thinking about shopping putting my son in the car, pushing a cart around, going to formal dinners, lunch, anything! Now 6 wks, 35 pounds, 21.5 inches out No sweating like that at all!!! It will be life changing and you'll love it!!

You are on the right path!! Great job!

Ok, omg duh.... I see your link now! I must've been way to excited ha thank you for the post.cheers

mmmm really!!!!! Could you be so kind to post this yummy brownie and the pumpkin version???!!!!!! I'm craving anything pumpkin Oh and the stats.....please please please

SmilinNC.....I to am 6 wks today and maybe get 600 on a good day but average around 500. And hit 50-60 grams of protein. Not where I'd like to be. So I believe 900 is a great amount and envy you. Keep up our good work lady!

Amazing job!!! Soon to hit goal.... that is really really exciting!! I like a few others would love to know what your workout was like? How many days, how long, ect. I was cleared to really start working out as of tomorrow. Any input would be so helpful! I'm down 32 since surgery 6 weeks ago and am feeling the positive effects and my energy creeping back.

Walking from my hospital bed and everyday after! I was cleared to go to the gym and swim at 4 wks, however I was told light weights only nothing heavy until I pass my 6 wks post. Which will be tomorrow!! Yay
