I agree Mami. One piece of pizza didn't put us here. Half a pizza pie or more at a sitting did. I like the ideas of meals under 500 calories or even better the high Protein choices people are making.

Well now. ...depends on. ..hmm. ..activity/passivity level...lol!

I get gas also when i eat too much. I would imagine too many carbs could also do this. For me, my limit is about two tbs.

Ok. Guys (and gals) since when did we always have to agree with each other? In the "what are we eating tonight" thread, I have seen posts about. .."i went to a buffet" or fast food and ate much more than we/they should. Or eating a rather large quantity of food, or fried foods, or sugar laden stuff. Why is it that making a comment that this is a bad choice makes us negative nellies or flaming? Or bullies? I don't know about you guys, But i want to succeed in my new lifestyle. I want menu choices that are healthy. If i were a newcomer and read about fried foods and high sugar items that no one said was a bad choice, and i incorporated it into my diet, I would be ticked when it failed. (And it would!) Maybe we need to try. .." well now ward, don't ya think you were a bit hard on the beaver" mentality ( from ward and June cleaver) on "leave it to beaver" I.e. some gentle correction followed by a "you can do this! " rah rah rooting comment? I would rather find out where i am failing (with love or kindness) than. ..everyone talking about how stupid i am behind my back. Just saying.

Talk to your Dr and nutritionist. They can give you ideas.

What are/is rissoles?

I was told no more than 5 grams of sugar per meal.

30 min on an elliptical.

Please be careful that you don't develop an eating disorder. Might want to talk to a counselor. Is a rough ride that we all are on.

You really shouldn't be able to eat that much at this point. Might want to measure your intake to make sure you don't hurt yourself.

Mami-you are below goal weight. Why do the pre-surgery diet? You look great! !!!

That is one of my "go to" foods.

Ya look great! ! Don't Let others get you down.

I love the coconut milk soups... drunken noodles if you can do a tbs of noodles- Snitch off of someones plate.

I been gluten free since about 6 months prior to surgery. I never have this issue unless i way overload my stomach.

Blech!!!

For me it's homemade ham and bean soup. Onions and kidney beans with jalapenos.

You will feel pretty normal at 6 months.

Got pics?

Yes. I am able to do things i couldn't do even when younger. My heart is handling the exercise. Its awesome.
