What a cool idea!!

Yay!!!

Lol!!! Wow! I have farted more in the last six months than the rest of my life put together!!!

I wouldn't due to the spicing...hard on your new stomach.

I had a stricture. Took two dilations to get it right. Call your doc...

I have been told no gum as it increases air into the stomach.

I was told no corn for a year.

Jeff!!

Outstanding! You can do this!

popcorn is a slider food...calories but no substance. Not a good choice. Also bad in early days after surgery.

When was your surgery?

How do you make dip?

Mizzlaw...how is hubby doing? Any better?

Add beans...

So what exactly is skinny? Does anyone now? Marilyn Monroe was a size 14, yet she was a goddess by most men's standards back in the day. Do we want to be anorexic or have the heroin look? I hope not. Sexy is good. Curves are good, and healthy is great!! But skinny? Why? And what is it? I personally would love to keep my boobs...lol!

liquid diet I mean....

That's the problem with the liquid surgery pre-op. Drink a lot of Water, you won't get full otherwise.

I added unflavored to Cereal and it was nasty!

Good luck!! See ya on the other side!

All of the above, ESP. Slider foods and grazing. You can defeat your pouch. Empty calories of any kind will defeat your pouch.

Dare I ask what is a Dutch oven?

Hmmm...perhaps a little harsh? I have only had the fage with fruit...sugar comes from the fruit so its not quite as big a hitter on the sugars. I would imagine if you are blending it yourself, the taste could become imbalanced. But...seriously, many at work like it, and there are two other girls with gastric bypass...so mine is not the only opinion. But, it does have less sugar than the competitors, so maybe you prefer it sweeter than I.

How does it show how inactive you are?

Did you check the sugar levels in the drink? That might be causing it...

I really like the fage brand.

My surgery was April 26, 2012-high weight of 289...surgery date it was 262. Today its 193.8. How do I feel? Amazing. Despite two strictures...its cool fitting in those airline seats with no extensions. Its cool sitting in booths and not hitting the table. My energy levels are high...and riding those roller coasters and fitting in the seats are awesome.

50 lbs to go. I am now in size 16-18 pants... XL tops. (For most things) I never thought I would see these sizes again. One day at a time.
