Yes, NewgirlfromMd, I'm with Mildred. Please share the recipe!
As for me, as I'm sick of chicken and fish and aren't allowed beef or pork yet, I'm having roasted turkey breast. I discovered today that my neighborhood HEB store roasts them fresh every day. I had some at lunch and will be repeating it for dinner. Probably with a small salad.

In May 2014, I had just been to the informational seminar and was two days away from my first weigh-in required by Aetna, when I attended my nephew's wedding. I wore a snug 3X dress. I had my Gastric Bypass in December. On October 3rd,I will be attending my niece's wedding wearing a very comfortably fitting size 14 dress!

I had my 9 month post-op check-up yesterday. My surgeon (who I saw 2 months ago for an unrelated issue) walks into the exam room, does a double take and says "Holy cow! I didn't even recognize you! You look fantastic!"

I started a C25K today. It's something that I had dreamed about doing but never thought I would (or could). I also went to my niece's bridal shower on Saturday. Instead of being the largest person there, I was one of the smaller ones! And I was by far the smallest of the family members (except for my youngest niece who has always been scary skinny. I don't count her as I have never seen anyone as thin as she is)

Hello, Everyone! My RNY was 12/10 /14. My highest weight was 280 and I started this adventure at 245. I was 204 the day of surgery and I'm 132 today. Only 4 pounds from goal! I can't say that this has been an easy year (kidney stones and surgery to remove them) but it has been an AMAZING year! Along with gaining back my health, I gained a daughter in law and my first grandchild (Gabriel just turned 6 months old)! Today is my 60th birthday and when doing my hair this morning, I realized that I'm less grey than I was. Apparently, after the Hair loss, when all the new hair grew in, it came back in my pre-grey original color! Talk about a great birthday present!

Hi everyone and happy New Year! I am 57 years old and am 3 weeks post-bypass. Down 32 pounds. Like some have mentioned, I have very little energy. Otherwise feeling great. So glad to be past the gassy stage. So happy I made this choice. I have 90 pounds to goal. Long journey, but glad I can make the trip!

One year today on December 15, 2014, I was given a new life and a second chance to live my life to the fullest instead of letting it pass me by. I want to wish myself a Happy One Year Anniversary on my weight loss journey! I may not have hit my goal of losing 200lbs by today, but I am proud of the 185lbs that I have lost. Plus, I know that I will get pass this stall and hit my goal of 239 very soon. This journey has had its ups and downs but it is worth it, so I can live to grow old with my husband and see our kids grow up and have a family of their own. I have to thank my family and friends for all the love and support they have given me while I have been on this journey. It is just the beginning for me and my family, as we all start to really enjoy life and all that it has to offer.

What they are really thinking...
"So, you think this is all I eat? I have a steak waiting at home for me when I get out of this lousy, cheap date."

I think that you stated the root to your problem at the end of your post. You're bored and emotional. Unfortunately, rocky emotions are just part of all this, Hormones are rapidly changing with rapid weight loss and emotions are all over the place from the major changes in your life right now.
Boredom is as much of a problem as the emotional upheaval! You are accustom to being busy at work and now you are stuck at home. Try to find things to keep yourself occupied. Take a walk, (you need to start exercising anyway!) read a good book, organize something, (a closet, drawer etc) Just don't let yourself sit and brood about things. Keep your mind busy and it will help with the boredom. Which will help with temptations.
You are NOT a failure!!! And you haven't screwed anything!!! You've got this, I believe in you!! you're just in a low spot at the moment. Go make a Protein shake and sip along on it. Before you know it, you'll have it down, you'll feel better and you'll be back on track.

I hopped in my husband's beater around town truck to take my dogs to the park. Now normally because I am so short I have to move the seat up so I can reach the peddles, the steering wheel, radio and gear shift. And normally I have to do this standing inside the door because my belly was too big to reach the manual lever located underneath the seat.
Today I got in totally forgetting that step for a second I almost jumped out but instead I went for it. And guess what? I was able to comfortably reach underneath me and move my seat up! I was so excited! I felt like a total weirdo with tears in my eyes heading towards the dog park.

I went shopping for the first time since my surgery in December 2014. As usual i picked up the biggest size of a 22 and also a size 18, because I wasn't sure what I wore anymore. To my surprise, the 18 fit perfect, and I haven't worn a size 18 since I was 12 years old.
