Chicken picatta. I nearly licked the plate.

Daily calorie intake
I'm usually between 750-850. My goal is to keep it under 850, but I've had a couple 1000 cal days. My nut recommends 600-800, but I figure making my protein numbers trumps that.

Add a probiotic as well. Bariatric Advantage makes a good quality one and it's not too expensive either.

How about some NSVs!?!?
I have a work sweatshirt that I picked up thinking it would be a goal I can fit into in a couple months (I got it last week). I tried it today to see how far I have to go and it fit! The waist was a little tight because I am losing much faster on my upper body than lower body, but I can totally wear it. It's an XL, and I was an XXXL two months ago.

6 Friggin pounds!
I was on all protein and under 20 carbs a day for the two weeks before surgery and lost 17lbs. And I do not lose weight easily, even after surgery.

Wendy's chili with cheese and onions. So good with onions. I don't know why but I crave those more than anything.

Taking advantage of the glasses.com in home try on, I took a bunch of pics to compare. Holy moly is my face changing! And getting younger, too! I'll be 18 again in no time lol.

What Day After Surgery Was Your Worst?
The 2nd day after surgery. I had been able to sleep a few hours that night without all the beeping of the machines (still in the hospital but out of the ICU). So I hadn't pressed my pain meds button while I was sleeping. When I woke up I was in so much pain I couldn't move. I had to press the button every 10 minutes for the next hour to get the pain down enough to get up and go use the bathroom.

Curious, were a lot of you recommended to stay away from caffeine and was a reason given as to why? My surgeon's team was fine with it, so I'm curious what others were told differently.- What ya eating tonight?
I tried and failed at eating some leftover potroast. My pouch said NOPE. Then it said nope a couple more times for good measure.- What Was Your Starting Weight?
Hw: 406 Sw: 376 Cw: 346 Surgery: 8/26/13 I seem to be a slow loser so far, with a couple of stalls, but maybe my body needs more time to heal. Each time I have pushed myself farther physically (running around taking care of a friend and her kids, walking 3+ miles), I have had an incision open a little and have a little drainage. So I guess I'm still healing.- August Post Ops
Finally felt well enough to walk and do more today after surgery healing followed by cold/flu. I burned more calories than I ate for sure. May the scale get back on the move!- What ya eating tonight?
Hot and spice szechwan chicken. Not nearly spicy enough. I feel like having this pouch is going to make me more of a chile-head.- August Post Ops
I've only had one other day like that, too. But honestly MFP helped me do exactly the right thing which was see where I could have made better choices and recommit. I can't tell myself I don't need to food log anymore, that's for sure!- August Post Ops
Started myfitnesspal today and was shocked I ate 950 calories lol. Oh how life has changed.- What ya eating tonight?
I've been craving oxtails since before surgery! Yum! Slow cooker pot roast tonight. The slow cooker makes me feel like I didn't just spend two hours of work on something I can only eat 4 bites of.- Bowel issues
I take a probiotic and a stool softener tablet every day. Could not stand the constipation.- starbucks
If you're not lactose intollerant, go for a skinny vanilla or other sugar free flavor latte. If you are lactose intollerent, make it soy. :-)- What ya eating tonight?

Hahaha I have heard others with similar tales from Dayquil. - August Post Ops
