Ok honesty time so don't hate on me. If and when I crave sweets like cake or ice cream or candy since these were foods I loved. My taste for them are no longer good. Which I am glad. My pouch lets me know oh hell no we don't want that. Yes I do try but regret and dump it. And then move on not to go there again. I hardly eat potatoes or French fries or any pasta. I will have whole wheat spaghetti but since the 1st of January only twice. I eat veggies love salads and meat and chicken. Fish and shrimp not so much. Where I live you can't get fresh so most is processed. Tonight I had another bowl of my veggie beef soup, but also attempted 1/2 of a red velvet cupcake which was so nasty. Not doing to well. Waiting for the sin to pass or I dump.

So after the soup i fixed and hubs eating it. I was able to freeze 4 small bowls. Cant believe hubs ate the soup with all the veggies and cabbage in it. Lol he may break out in hives today. Lol

Yea That could work if I had ice trays. But I will freeze it tomorrow in small bowls I have

Maybe for now it's in the fridge . Have the flu right now best I could do

I made homemade beef veggie soup, lots of cabbage celery green onion green peas corn baby Lima beans diced tomatoes and stew meat was really good. Big pot but probably won't eat but 1 small bowl lol

Ensure protein drink and 5 grahmn crackers

Jodi you look awesome WTG girl. Hope to see you back more often

What I should have taken

Low carb flour tortilla with a tablespoon of fat free refried beans with a tablespoon of weight watchers shredded Mexican cheese. Ate 3 of them

Yea what they told me too, well not the sudafed but I took 1 Advil congestion. Just enou to make the drainage stop. Eating lots of popcycles

Ok so i am sure with the weather changes some of you have gotten colds or sinus problems what are yall taking for it? I have a sore throat and feel sinus pressure. Not sure what to take. I dont like the tylenol products because of the damage it does to your liver. So not sure what to do. Any advice?

Actually i dont worry about sugar free anymore even tho i am a diabetic. Being sugar free is not always good. It is replaced with other chemicals. I just do stuff in moderation and yes its all about taste and texture. And if the pouch rejects it

I made crockpot BBQ ribs. they were so good, had a tablespoon of potatoe salad and 3 tablespoons of baked beans. the ribs were country style no bones, and they were so tender, only ate 2 small pieces. also made an angel food cake that I only put crushed pineapple in its own juice. didnt like it.; got both recipies from pinterest.

Thank you bunches!!

Hi everyone I saw the post made from some of you on my where abouts. I am still here. Just been going to school and concentrating on home stuff so I can get ready for my boards. Sorry I haven't been on much. Appreciate the comments. Yes I changed my name from OldHippieGal because I just don't feel like that old woman anymore. Have a slight bounce in my step now. Lol for dinner I had fat free refried beans and a flour tortillia with shredded weight watchers cheese. Y'all have been doing amazing.

Yes if you can tolerate muscle drink with protein drink it . Also ensure has a high protein drink too it's the best by far. And so is Adkins

I am almost 4 months out and at 3 months I started with gobs of hair in strands falling out. I started taking biotin 5000 mg a month before surgery and still take it. I have been shampooing with Gardina fall out shampoo and conditioner also are my bariactric vitamins that contains all the nutrients it still is falling out. What I don't get is my 60 to 80 grams of protein every day so that might be the reason I am losing my hair. But so far it isn't so thin I have bald spots or thinning that you can see my scalp
