I'm trying to laugh about it and not let it get me down. Things are gonna change, ya know? Just wish they'd move along! lol

I'm near Seattle, WA. You?

Only response to that nonsense comment? "It's you're, not 'your'." :-)

Hardest part of this since the Protein shake liquid phase turned me off to shakes...not being able to drink with my meals. Also, very jelly of those going down sizes. I tried on some clothes this weekend and I am in such a weird body shape phase that everything looked awful. I just look weird lately.

Boca burger with caramelized balsamic onions and smoked cheddar. I couldn't eat more than a few bites. Maybe the rest of the day being bad spoiled my supper lol.

I am also being way too naughty today. Three pieces of candy. Wow do those calories add up fast!

Crockpot pepper steak. Delish.

Mz Shay that's fantastic!!! I know you have had trouble with eating, but wow that is amazing! I'm a slower loser, behind you about 5lbs. It's so wonderful and encouraging to read about how far everyone has come.

We're gonna get there, Mz Shay. I think we are really close in our weight loss aren't we?

I hear you, Mz Shay. WLS community folks I've always thought to be some of the kindest and caring. However, lately I have seen some real self righteous and rude stuff said. Sometimes I wonder if they are actually trolls. But you know what I do when I see a pattern of someone posting like that? I report them to the admin. They can take their attitude somewhere else!

Has anyone else had trouble sleeping since surgery? I can rarely sleep through the night now, and also tend to have trouble getting to sleep as well. It's starting to make me really tired during the week. I have sleep apnea and have rarely had trouble sleeping since I started using a CPAP. Anyone else have sleep changes since surgery?

I'm thinking it's just too dry a meat without a bunch of sauce. Or, maybe because it is ground we aren't chewing it as well as we would something solid?

I've had issues with ground meat a couple times, but if it is in chili I seem to be ok. Tonight, crockpot salsa chicken with light sour cream.

Sugar free yogurt raisins?! ::drools::

Sudden interest in all things I shouldn't be eating, fun times. Thankfully all I ate so far was a little more cheese than I'd normally allow. Must resist Halloween candy!

I second that! This sounds delish! Filipino style bbq chicken kabob tonight. Also made baked falafel today with some tahini sauce which was amazing.

Seafood especially, but more and more foods are tasting metallic to me lately. I turnes my nose up at my cottage cheese this morning because it tasted metallic/soapy. Anyone else dealt with this post-op?

Hw: 406 Sw: 376 8/26/13 Cw: 336 I was hoping to be more at 50-60lbs lost by now, but my body is more comfortable at a slower pace it seems. The changes are still remarkable.

I literally ate meat at every meal. The only thing I ate other than that were the kidney beans and veggies in my chili.

Made it to 127g of protein today. Holy moly! It's like being on the preop Atkins diet again. Meat meat meat.

Wearing my bathing suit, looking in the mirror in the gym locker room, I realized today just how much my body has changed. Seventy pounds gone. I absolutely never used to have any hope of losing weight. I was so resigned to living this way the rest of my life that I stopped trying. When I'd get upset, I'd just feed myself until I didn't care anymore. But today, watching myself shrink befote my eyes, I have hope for the first time in many years that I will be successful. And it is just so exciting to see where life will take me from here. I just had to share this. It sounds strange, but I feel like I'm healing, finally. I know you'll know what I mean.

Wendy's chili and some aged extra sharp cheddar cheese. So glad I can still have cheese. Cheese.

Seasoned a bnls/sknls chicken breast with salt/pepper/granulated garlic. Browned both sides in pan with olive oil. Then added a few cloves whole garlic, juice of a half lemon followed by slices of that same half lemon, and half cup chicken broth. Cover and cook 7mins. Then removed the chicken, thickened the sauce with a little flour/water mix, added pepper, served sauce over chicken. It was enough to feed the hubs and me.
