I tried a single piece of popcorn when I was at the movies last week with my best friend because i love movie theater popcorn. It was nasty! Your tastes may have changed too. I bring a flavored water and a protein bar. That way I have my treats too.

I need to go jeans shopping...I was going to go today but I keep putting it off. I have no idea what size I am and despite feeling like I look pretty good after 50+ lbs gone...when I look in the mirror I still feel huge.

Lol. My husband was in the mood for Mexican and I was in the mood not to go to the store lol. Preheat oven to 375 and spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. 6 turkey breakfast sausage links, chopped 2/3 of a large red pepper, chopped 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 poblano, oven roasted, skinned, deseeded and chopped 1/4 cup pico de gallo 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp garlic powder 10 medium eggs 1/4 cup fat free half n half 1 1/4 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar Salt and fresh pepper Heat a skillet over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Sauté sausage and spices til done. Add peppers, pico and onion. Sauté until soft. Layer in bottom of 9x13 pan. In a bowl beat eggs, half and half and salt and pepper. Pour over eggs and add 1 cup of cheese. Fold together. Bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup cheese while cooling. I topped mine with a bit of spicy salsa, a couple pieces of avocado and a dollop of nonfat plain Greek yogurt. It was so good! -

But it's 37 lbs you wouldn't have been down otherwise! The stall will break...I just came out of a 2 week one. It sucked. I changed up my calories for a few days and it finally worked. Take care of yourself and don't hurt yourself worse. -

How are all the November folks doing? I've had a nasty cold and haven't been able to exercise for a few days. I miss it! -
Women and Hormones...
Lisa Collom replied to sleevemeup's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My skin cleared up with all the water and healthy food. Now I get one near my period and that's it. I haven't had any sweating or body odor. I'm already on a ton of anxiety and depression medication so I'm guessing that's helped all the mood swings. -
How Long Was Your Hospital Stay?
Lisa Collom replied to sleevemeup's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm fine now pain meds don't work on me unless they are given IV (and even then it's just mild relief) so I had a spinal block and then my bladder wouldn't wake up lol. I also had some nerve pain but it didn't last too long. I'm down 51 lbs from 11/26. I feel great, and as a total added bonus my skin is perfect again! -
Has anyone lost 200lbs?
Lisa Collom replied to shawna29's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would like to lose about 200. My surgery was 11/26. Surgery weight 334, today 283. I log everything I eat, I exercise everyday, and I make choices like taking the stairs or parking farther away...anything to keep my body in motion. I feel great, and I will get to my goal weight and be smokin'! Lol -

What ya eating tonight?
Lisa Collom replied to OleHippieGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1/2 cup of broccoli cheddar chicken chowder. Just snacked on some lunch meat and a pickle because I'm way short on protein and calories. Being sick takes away any desire to eat. -

How could I not lose weight?
Lisa Collom replied to tzbandtobypass's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just so you know, stalls are going to happen as you get farther out too. I'm 2 months out and have been stalled for two weeks. But I also increased my exercise and I log everything I eat. I started my period yesterday and came down with a horrible cold last night. So I'm not weighing myself until my period is over and I feel better. Eventually the stall will break and you'll lose again. I'm down almost 50 lbs in 2 months...I've never done that before so no matter what I'm a success . You will get through this, and the weight will come off. -

Chicken marinated in Greek yogurt and spices, oven baked. Roasted green beans and mushrooms. Sautéed onions, garlic, red bell pepper, black beans and stewed tomatoes. Just a spoonful of each but it was tasty. -

I'm eating it right now. It's cold and snowy outside and this soup is delicious. -
It sounds like nerve pain to me, but if you're the least bit worried call your surgeons office. That's what they are there for.

Remove when crisp. Add onions and broccoli stems. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent. Add garlic and tarragon, cook one minute. Add chicken broth. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer for 15 minutes. (At this point I purée the Soup because my daughter won't eat the broccoli stems, but you don't have to.). Add half n half and cornstarch slurry. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce to simmer and add chicken and broccoli florets. Cook 10-12 minutes until florets are tender and soup has thickened. Add cheese and reserved bacon. It's so good. I attached the mfp stats. -

Try using plain canned tomato sauce. I still use a little ketchup in mine though. -
Omg this woman is driving me nuts on recovery
Lisa Collom replied to workingmotherofthree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pain meds don't work on me at all. Neither did any of the anti-nausea meds plus I had to be re-catheterized three times. I tried to be cool about it but I was in so much discomfort. Still, the woman next to me was worse lol.
