Im really happy for you. N i'm glad i'm just losing, so I am happy. But I think we all got that goal we want to reach. With the help of the Lord n our self will. We will reach it.

Glad ur back Cynthia n doing good.
I'm good. After all the bumpy rides i'm goad to be back to normal.
I'm down 48# 12 Weeks post op. Wish it wss more but i'm thankful for it.

We are celebrating our Halloween tonight since the weather was so horrible last night the town cancelled trick or treating until tonight. So we always have chili on Halloween night and sit I the driveway to give goodies. This year we have healthy treats...Gokdfish Crackers and 100% juice Snacks :-). Happy (belated) Halloween!

My weight loss the past month has been sort of slow. I keep waiting to wake up and see a big drop in weight. I'm similar to Mz Shay. Down 47 pounds from HW. My arms are not too bad but my legs look kind of lumpy. I will take it though. I sure wouldn't want to still have the extra weight we have all lost. I have been swimming at the Y and I believe this has helped my arms. I hope you all keep up the good work and never forget how far we have all come.

I have had sushi with out issue and hamburger. I find if I have something warm to drink before the meal I do much better. Also, don't forget to chew, chew, chew. I'm having 7 bean chicken chili for dinner.< /em>

Thanks everyone!! I am so in love with him! Thankful for all the knowledge RNY has given me as far as food & living and now i can be healthier mom and teach my son how to eat to live and not the opposite. Here's to a happier, healthier & more productive lifestyle for me and all of you!! W/o RNY my baby would not be here and this was the best choice I've ever made!! Luv u guys!!

Down 50 pounds as of today! Yay!!!!!!

I made a sugar free strawberry Jello cake tonite. Used a sugar free cake mix and instead of eggs and oil used a can of diet 7up. Baked it and when done poked hiles and poured strawberry sugar free jello. Gonna top with lite cool whip. Delicious and I don't feel guilty for having a piece!!

I walked 3 miles today finally my energy coming on back I drank 8oz Protein Shake I'm so proud of myself

I'm almost down 50 pounds guys!
Ahhhhh! It's so crazy to believe a little over 2 months ago I was over 300lbs and now I'm in the 250s.
Everything is much easier to do lol

Here's a pic of it! Turned out SO yummy and the spaghetti squash was perfect with it!

Dessert tonite after dinner....breyers carb smart ice cream...chocolate...low cal, low carb and a little piece of heaven!!!

My surgery was the 6th of August also...started at 322...day of surgery 303 and today 258.6....feeling great!!!

Even before surgery I couldn't have eaten that much cottage cheese! Lol!

I need to go to sleep.... I thought you ate 2 LBS of cottage cheese. Lol

.

well 4 months ago my life changed forever. I am down 70 lbs got 35 more to go. Look and feel better than I have in a while. People ask me if I would do it again. IN A HEARTBEAT. Best decision I ever made. Have not had any complications, no foods bother me. I can eat almost anything I want (just smaller amounts). I am looking forward to the rest of my life I am hoping for a long healthy one.

Don't cry NayNay we are here for you. Just reach out when you need to talk. I'm around. I can give you my phone number if you want it. You're doing great and I'm proud of you. Take a picture of yourself and put it beside a picture of you when you were heavier I bet that will make you smile! I'm here if you need me!

Thank you so much for the encouragement and support.

I don't know if its the BEST recipe, but I love it! Lol
1 lb ground chicken
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 packet dry onion Soup
2 cans chili Beans
Chili powder to your liking (I dump a ton in... Maybe 2 or 3 TBS??)
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbs mustard
2 packets sweetnlow
Sauté the chicken up with some olive oil and the packet of soup mix. Dump everything else in, stir, and simmer for an hour or 2... I do mine in a large skillet. We love it. It's simple, but yummy! Lol my recipe is totally made up from experimenting in my kitchen, so just make sure you make things how you like them... Aka.. Sweeter, hotter, milder, etc...

Ladies I would say that if 3 of you had surgery around the same time and have lost around the same amount then you must all be doing something right! Focus on the positive! Enjoy your new tool! Be patient and follow your Doctors orders the weight will come off. Good luck to you all! Keep us posted on your progress. We are here for you! You all are winners and I'm proud of you!

Ok so today was my birthday and being 57 years old . Haha I heard you gasp! Yea I am old but feel good.
I made my self a can of La Choy chicken chow mien with just a few of the crispy rice noodles in it and bought myself a small
chocolate cake and some vanilla ice cream yes I did. Hubs ate most of it. It was so good
