Finer- some people do, some don't. It's trial and error. I do not dump on natural fruit sugars. But then I don't gorge on it either. I eat grapes, cherries, watermelon, banana, etc.

According to my fitness pal, half an egg foo yung patty-with shrimp is 157 calories -the gravy is usually a broth thickened with cornstarch. Fat grams for half a patty is 12-

Maybe the place you go uses MSG? That is what is found in meat tenderizer and makes us puke...

Watch out for strictures...this is how mine started.

I have had a taco...yummy! Calories aren't outrageous...just log it and work around it.

It does get better-some people have resolution of incontinence. And, yes, there is surgery that can correct it. I had problems with it...three kids and almost 50 years old. It's much better now tho.

The Break Up
slowtogo replied to TryingtobeSuperwoman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sadly, I have lost a few. And those did a pretty good job of ripping my heart out as well. But-let's face it. We drastically change, and I do mean drastically. Friends are often based on similar interests, regardless what they might've been. We change. It's not surprising that some relationships do as well. -
I forgot... I did do tofu with veggies in a garlic sauce... Yummie!! But the veggies were after 3-4 months post op.

No more than 2 months- just chew alot on the sprouts. They may bother you. I did shrimp or veggie egg foo young at first. Try a little, see how it goes. And ask for extra gravy on the side. At most you can only eat a 1/4 or 1/2 a patty so split it with someone. I find it too dry to eat as a leftover.

Pizza is too high in carbs...it's bad news after surgery...

International cafe makes a sugar free decaffeinated Suisse mocha that is excellent.

Hi Everyony. I Have A ?
slowtogo replied to prettylicious8's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Grilled or fried with a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Very quick-don't overlook em. -
You guys have it better than I did...clear liquids plus protein shakes for me. The first four days were sheer torture.

I have no tattoos... But I wonder if it would hurt more without so much fat under the skin? I know that my loose skin, ESP on the arms, is much less pain tolerant than it used to be.

I eat more large scallops myself-softer than fish, and I buy 3 large ones at the seafood counter in the grocery store. Less expensive than Starbucks, and excellent protein. I don't share em...lol! -
Pre-Op: I'm Having A Bad Day :(

Any hope to recover your bento box? I was thinking of using one of those to pack lunch...neat idea. Hope today goes better for you. -
Remember, we need to seek happiness at all levels and stages. Don't bank your happiness for when you get to be a certain weight, else, you won't be happy even then. Be happy now...and continue doing the right things. There will be setbacks and struggles. Find joy even in those moments.

I am too...went from dying to...living. grandly!! The bad news is I really discovered when I was no longer just an insurance check, everything at home fell apart. So at least if I ever go back on the dating scene, I will look good in tight jeans...lol!
