I do appreciate the honest folks. and the folks that are not condeming. but i make my choices. I will succeed in my new tool that I have regardless what you think. And if you havent had the surgery you may need to make comments because you just dont know what you might do.
I dont drink cokes of any kind let me get that out there. no carbination at all not even sparkling waters because they also have carbination in it. i drink plain bottled Water. and every now and then i squirt a little crystal light in it. but not so much.
I eat scambled eggs. i eat turkey bacon, turkey jerkey. but not alot. still has cholestrol in it.
on the grilled KFC chicken breast, i peeled all skin off of it. and then pinch the meat off. i have never finished a chicken breast, . i slowly eat everything because with the episode of dumping I had, I hope to never have that pain again. it was horrible and thought i was dying from a heart attack.
I dont eat alot of dairy because of the sugars/carbs in them. I use myfitnesspal and log what i eat. that is how I know about my carb intake. and I cut down on the carbs, its a great app. i have only eaten 1000 calories in 1 day. most of my calories are between 700 and 900. thats not really bad.every day is a new day for all of us. I had to deal with the critics when I was 307 lbs. and the looks of disgust, but I have people who cheer me on because they see the difference in me now and see the weightloss i have achieved. and the ones who are bashing me. i just dont think you get it yet. funny how we dont see your choices on what you eat. arent you done with the hate. I know I am. good luck to you on your journey

Support isn't all about blowing sunshine up people's azz all the time. There are times when questions should be asked about choices. If I wrote that I went to the fried food eat everything buffet, I would hope someone would question my choice & not applaud it. If i wrote that i skipped my postop appts, please call me out. We're going to lose weight regardless of choices during the honeymoon period. That's why it is a good idea to make healthy choices now & create a habit of it from the beginning. The several year post bypass people I work with that have gained back lots of weight are drinking sodas, eating high carb foods & grazing all day. They went back to bad habits. One of them told me she wished someone would have questioned her choices directly rather than talk behind her back as she found out through the grapevine. The other is talking about having a revision surgery to make her lose weight again when she could just alter her choices. some people are very alone in their choices and don't have any source of feedback other than here. We all learn from each other. I believe this thread is about sharing food ideas so we can develop some (healthy) variety in our dietary choices. I know I've seen things I want to try & some I wouldn't eat & make me shake my head but I look forward to seeing what people are eating.

Actually cooked another meal, a very nice garden salad with Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, seasoned with sea salt and pepper, and cooking whole wheat spaghetti, with famers market lean ground chuck made into small meat balls. With hunts sauce with fresh mushrooms and garlic first Pasta dish since way before surgery.

I have been reading so many of your post alot of them, I am in 3 different support groups, here, Facebook, and sparkpeople. I have read the post of folks going in for surgery, 4 days post op, and even up to 5 years post op. I have read about the weight losses, and great going for you!!,
I have read the pain in my side. the dumping, and all that, and the excitment to buy new clothes.
but not once have i read any post that says I feel so good now. I cant believe i could feel this good.
I need to know??
Yes i have read if i had a choice knowning what i know now about the surgery and the pains and stuff would I do it again. and most of everyone says hell yea in a second. and thats awesome
BUT ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?? is it everything you thought it would be? are you off the medications that you had to take for diabetes? and cholestrol, and high blood pressure. that the surgeons claim you will be off of? What about your depression, because i know most of us are depressed from being obese. are you still depressed?
I am scared and i just need everyone to be honest please.
thank you

I had a small sweet potato, with a tablespoon of i cant believe its butter,
And i boiled a boneless skinless chicken breast. With salt and pepper, curry, garlic powder and some soul food seasoning. After it cooked i put a tablespoon of BBQ Sauce to the side so the bites of chicken wouldnt be to dry,
All was good, filled up quick even tho i was slow eating

I had a club sandwich. Yes the real deal
3 slices of whole wheat toast
Lettuce, Tomato, pepper jack cheese, slice of ham a slice of turkey, 2 pieces of crisp bacon. Stack it up layer it twice with 1 slice of bread in between. Cut into 4ths, i only ate one corner of the 1/4. Brought the rest home for tomorrow.
The whole sandwich is 460 calories. I had no mayo put on it. It was so good

I am going to suggest not eating chicken and sweet potato in same meal. I got so full omg it hurt. Didn't vomit but I kinda wish it would have happen. I need to learn the take a bite chew 25 times sit fork down and go again. It's hard to do that when te sweet potato is creamy and no lumps. I did chew chicken well nothing got stuck. But pheww it was painful.

I cant eat ice cream anymore, it makes me nauseous, i guess thats good. It was once a good friend dont think i will miss you good bye chocolate ice cream

My Dr Oz said look at it as thou you had cancer and to get rid of the cancer you ave to have surgery. If you will have surgery to get rid of the cancer then why not gastric bypass to get rid of obesity? Because obesity can cause cancer and heart disease and diabetes so do it for your health

Did anyone say they tried coffee and drank it? I got that folgers 1/2 the caffeine that i want to drink. Going to try it in the morning. I dont put sugar in it. I only use that sugar free Creamer

HA !! You should know what I tell him. I do remember when it was all so fun back n my 20s and 30s but in the 40s and 50s not so much. Especially if they don't manscape lol ewww next time you get a load instead f swallowing give him a great big wet kss and let him swallow ewww lol sorry had too

I am so glad I don't have to worry about that anymore being an older woman I have no desires for such stuff anymore thanks to menopause and the fact that I did so much of that stuff in my younger years I hope to never ever see another penis ever. Haha don't tell the hubs. But with him at 400 lbs he surely has to have a clue. This ain't Easter and I am not going hunting for eggs ya know what I mean
