I like dry roasted edamame, if it's ok with your doc. 1/4 C. 4g Fat 1g Sugar 14g Protein Gives me that crunch factor as well. I live on the stuff.

I've eaten Fage and Chobani with no problems. I usually add a little vanilla protein powder to them.

They look great. I will try this. I wondered what awarded meant. lol

Wow that blows me away. Why would you have you insides cut, twisted and moved around and then eat 2 pcs. of pizza and a empanada 2 weeks out? I don't feel full or hungry as of yet, so I weigh and measure everything that goes down the pipe. When I first hit these forums. I read a post from a woman stating " she was amazed that she could still eat a whole 6 inch sub in one sitting" I was amazed that she would try. Glad to see your back on track. We've all been through too much to fall back into bad habits. Good luck and keep up the good work. Sorry for the preach.

Best thing you've ever done for yourself. I'm happy for you. Good Luck!

I kept 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt so I could do a befor and after pic. After that I'll use the pants to make a tent for the kids.

Have you had the surgery yet? I'm from SE Mich. and had mine April 30th. Couldn't be happier.

Are you getting enough Protein and eating the protein first? My Nut pounds that into my head all the time. The protein releases some sort of hormone that tells our head that we're full. Hope this helps.

Yes, it will change. Concentrate on getting your protein ( I know it's hard ) and don't worry so much about the fruit & veggies. It really does get better every week. Just don't overdue anything and you'll be fine. Congrats and good luck

Get sick of hearing this? I am. I know people mean well but geez. My boss seems to feel he has to eat lunch in my office. Before the "cuttin" we went out every day. He's having more withdrawal pains then I am. Anyhow, now he'll bring in something and, "you should be able to eat this". "Thankyou Doctor/Nutritionist boss, but I can't" Finally I just started saying, "Oh, I tried that and it made me sick". Well, we'll see what "I'm able to eat today at lunch" Sorry, just a rant.

Pizza and Carrot Cake or Carrot Cake and Pizza. No particular order.

Got a answer from the Nut. She said those numbers are exactly where she wants me.

Thanks to everybody

Had surgery April 30th. started at 500 cals. At 4 weeks I was bumped to 900 cals, 90gs. carb and 40gs. fat. Hope this helps. As a matter of fact, I just e-mailed my Nut. with those numbers and asked if I was still all right. If anything changes, I'll re-post.
