Feel better..any concerns...call your surgeon!

Welcome!

Very common....kudos to you for reaching out. Nobody talks about it! And help is needed for those with true addictions.....taking your mind off things doesn't work for true addiction.

My nut can live with a cup of coffee a day.

I urge you to get counseling or go to a twelve step group.

I always vomit if I eat too fast or don't chew well enough.

Just went yesterday after already swimming earlier...it was a blast, but kicked my butt. It will be easier if I don't swim before!

You definitely need a new doc...that's crazy.

My nut asked if I lost any dress sizes, and I'm like " yeah four sizes!"... I was pissed she couldn't tell.

There's recipe for quinoa breakfast cereal I posted on the recipe site....yummy

You all look great!

At your stage I was tentatively trying soft foods....eggs, ground meat,soup, etc. lots of yogurt and reduced fat cheese.

And they stick eeg wires all over you head lol. Not conducive to sleep in my book.

I taught my kids bad eating habits. Mainly insane portion size. I really regret it.

I'm 1/2 ,there and already have rashes. Need a boob reduction, too to help with chronic pain..have to wait til my weight stays stable for 2 years. Sigh

Try richard simmons videos. He's a goof, but very gentle and positive. He also got people of all sizes working with him...I personally cant work with trainers; they totally ignore my chronic pain issues and accuse me of not working hard enough. I've never found one who gets it. I've also never met one who starts slow....In my opinion, they don't get people who have struggled with weight their whole lives.

I alternate between slow aerobics and high intensity . The low intensity focuses more on toning.

Just got back from an early morning swim....will walk two miles later with the dog.

I have no problems with sashimi, especially octopus. Not a fish fan, but love sashimi....pure protein.

Can you eat lentil soup if it's pureed? I also ate potato soup with added dehydrated milk for protein. V8 tasted delicious, too. All packed with vitamins.

chicken salad 1 can fat free chicken breast 1 tbls celery or celery salt 1 tbls. Fat free mayo 1/4 c plain greek yogurt 1 tbls onion or pepper or both Pepper to taste 1 tsp capers Puree until delicious!

Watch out....fmla means you're off work for medical reasons. A vacation could mess things up.
