This is a favorite at our house!!!

Taco night! Made with ground chicken spiced with cumin and chili powder and mixed with salsa, wrapped in a romaine lettuce leaf instead of a tortilla, avocado, tomatoes, onions, low fat cheese and a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt.

Sounds like lots of changes for you. Stay strong with everything. You must be so excited to see what your new life has in store. I am very sorry to hear about your husband but take the time to focus on you. You won't regret this decision and the timing to introduce yourself to the world couldn't be better. ***HUGS*** I'm so excited for you!!

So glad that you are ok and well now!

Chi Baby, Spot on!!! It's OK to be frustrated, just don't give up! Follow that program of yours, and you will get there!

It is 100% absolutely and completely normal. If you look at the top of your page, you'll see a spot that you can run a search with. Type in "stall" and you will find so many posts it'll make your head spin!! It happens to everyone - MULTIPLE times. It's okay. :-) Just breathe and hang in there!! <3

None of you are doing anything wrong. It is okay or experience a stall every now and then. Some people even gain weight after surgery which is still expected but it doesn't sound like any of you did. I will be 5months post-op on Nov. 5th and have been stuck at 52lbs weight loss for a month which includes preop weight loss. It's not fun to me but I have gone from size 24 to 20 at times 18. I was surprised when an XL t-shirt fit me yesterday, but I am still fat especially my thighs. It does bother me that the scale is not moving but I know I'm doing the right things cos I see the inches coming off. Keep your head up and before long, you all will be the ones encouraging the newbies coming behind you. Don't sweat it and please stop weighing yourselves everyday. Leave the scale for your doctor and you will be amazed at what you will see happen.

Made these this morning. They r awesome! Made some with whole egg and some scrambled.
My only complaint was even with spraying the crap out of my pan. Still trying to get the egg off it. :-(. Specs with my lose it app: for scrambled (I used 5 eggs 7oz ham 21/2 oz velveeta. Then veggies). Cal 104. Fat. 5.6. Carb 4.3. Protein 9.4. Per cup.
Left is whole egg. Right is scrambled
I added homemade salsa on top when I ate mine.

I just want to say how thankful I am for the support here. My husband of 20 years left me 2 weeks before surgery. I thankfully have wonderful family and friends. Thy have supported me and thankfully all of you support me on this journey.
I had surgery on the 8th. Had a small hiccup and had some internal bleeding and they had to go back in a couple hours later but thankfully was resolved. Close to needing transfusion but thankfully not needed. Body just working hard at healing and replenishing red blood cells. Lots of rest is helping. On soft foods and doing ok. Saw dr yesterday cuz I had some pain on left side only when I moved a certain way. They think it's muscular - aggregated the muscle they cut through. Positive is I'm down 23 lbs. 13 pounds since surgery.
I read the posts everyday multiple times. These posts are very helpful and inspire. Thank you!
