Here it s an update from the other day [ATTACH]4655[/ATTACH]

Most produce stores have them ask an associate where they are.

Spaghetti Squash is awesome and easy. Cauliflower fried 'rice' - shredded cauliflower with grilled veggies, chicken and asian seasoning. super yummy. Quinea (sp) I've heard a lot about but haven't tried it yet. it's a good sub for starch, packed with Protein, and supposedly easy to prepare.

Chunks was probably a poor word choice. LOL and it p robably wont hurt to start taking it now

My hair just started shedding. I am four months out and it is falling out in chunks. I started using biotin and Garnier (sp) breakag protection conditioner and it is helping some. Luckly my hair is sup er thick and could do with thinning. Lol

High weight - 500 Surgery weight - 474 (4/25/2013) Current Weight - 367.3 Total weight loss - 133 Loss since Surgery - 107 I made a new goal today, I want to be down 200 lbs by my birthday. It's 93lbs in little over 4 months. But I want to be 22, in the 200's, and less 200. It's a numbers thing. But I think it's a good goal.

Just relax, I was so stressed out before my surgery I broke out in hives. It was terrifying.

Usually as long as it isn't an infection, you should be fine. if it's just allergies and stuff you should be alright. Good luck. But remember, Your doctor does things that are in your best interests.

Changw up your routine. Add more protein. So different workouts. It will start moving again

Every thing went well. He couldn believe how much I changed. Lol thanks ladies

So, I live in a college town where a lot of my friends go home during the summer. So, I haven't seen a lot of my friends since right after my surgery, a lot of them left in may, my surgery was April 25th. They are coming back next week and I'm super nervous about how they are going to react. My specific worry is this guy, who I was sort of dating before my surgery and the summer. He wants to meet up with me tomorrow, and I'm really self conscious about seeing him again. It's super awful that I've lost 103lbs and I'm still uncomfortable with myself. Sorry for the mini-rant.

That's crazy, I have only been tolerate ice-cold water since my surgery, Why aren't you allowed Ice?

Get the chew-able gas ex tablets, and walk as much as you can.

Expert tip from someone with anxiety and depression that had this surgery- THROW AWAY YOUR SCALE! Do not weigh every day, your weight fluctuates day to day, with Water and food weight. It is bad for you, mentally to weigh every day. I weigh once a week, usually on Fridays. because During the first month I was on the scale every day, and found myself depressed and unmotivated on the days that I didn't lose, and it was bad for my progress and my mental health.

Your nerves that tell you that you're full have been damaged with the surgery, give it time and they will come back, you just need to keep drinking and get your protein in to help heal your body.

You go girl!

This is from today, and the day before surgery. 101 lbs lost.

Starting weight 500 Surgery weight 474 Current weight 373 Total loss: 127 Loss since surgery: 101!!!!!!!!! Milestone met!!!!

Laughing cows are still a staple for me, I'm three months out, They are delicious, and they don't aggravate my tummy.

I started my new job today and my boss was grabbing me a work shirt annd he looks at me and says "two x is too big isnt it" and I was like. I weae a three x. And he looked me up and down and said "nope you are a big one ex or a small two. I will give you both. The two x fit. And the one ex is close.

I have ocos. After the first 30 lbs my periof came back with a vengence it lasted about tjree weeks. And I am pretty sure that I lost the next thirty in blood. I know tmi but its true.
