What a great read...Congrats

I agree with pac-woman..you can bring a cooler....depending on what food stage you are in epcot has better food choices.

For shits and giggles maybe I'll just say I'm slowly dying

My egd went smoothly. Here's to you having the same experience

Very inspiring. Congrats

I like the strength training machines at the gym

That's motivating. Congrats

My nutritionist suggested 6 months to make sure I'm fully healed up. I miss trail mix

Outside of hood milk (that's the brand) I've mixed mine into shakes certain Soups ( half a scoop) and when I could try mashed potatoes that. There was a recipe to put some in Jello for a dessert but I didn't like the after taste.

I agree, we are all different and what works for one may not work for someone else.

just read up a couple of posts..35lbs? You're definitely doing something right. Congrats

In the blenderized phase I was told I could put half a banana in my shake. Seems like the answers here are all over the chart. I'd stick to your drs. Response though. I know we are all diff.

But man..in 2 months...58 lbs I'll never see again. I don't want this ride to end. My mental toughness has been tested during this journey. I know there's more to look forward to good and bad... if this is all I lose by far this is a great success story. I'd obviously like to lose more it's just I'm happy with my decisions and how my life has changed since having this surgery. Hope everyone's having as wonderful a Monday as me.

ever heard of toriani? i was told about it from a couple of people that had it and its pretty good. i like the belgian cookie(have you ever had the cookie butter from trader joes? ) thats good stuff...and ive had salted caramel.. when thats done maybe ill try something different based on the responses from this thread

I'm thankful that I went through this journey and had my surgery...only 2 months in but I feel I have a new lease on life...I'm making the most of everything.

Keep inspiring!

I could go go a honeybun.....#justsayin

I'm ejd1024...feel free to add I'm always looking to see others food intake for ideas and seeing their progress I mean just motivates me.

I love this title but would be happy to give my big butt away! Love the song though. When postop did people return to exercising? I hear that walking is great postop immediately but when about weight training? I'm in a bariatric exercise class and just love it!

6 weeks for me and it's been a journey. Just keep pushing I guess.

It just felt right

I get like that as well...people notice a diff...but I sometimes see my old self and it's hard to accept. Like I'm dreaming. You won't see that 48 lbs again and you gotta keep pushing and hopefully you'll meet your goal.

I was cleared to work out and have told my personal trainer about my surgery. I am currently doing circuit training at the machines for strength training. My baseline weights for legs is 60lbs arms and back 50 lbs and chest at 60lbs. I'm starting from scratch I've lost 54 lbs and some muscle so my gym days have been kicking my butt. I've upped my Protein though and I do 30 mons of cardio...I look to up the weights as I become more acclimated. I'm hoping this will help me find my balance as I try to keep losing weight while just being stronger.

No bread for me! I'm staying away from bread, potatoes and rice for now. I may slowly introduce them when I'm in maintenance, but for now I don't need those carbs hindering my weight loss.

I just learned to include this quote...can anyone help me understand this? I don't eat rice(yes an Asian that doesn't eat rice) I tried mashed potatoes in the blenderized phase..nothing now though. Just trying to understand as I'm trying to follow my nut and I know there are always diff of opinion

At soft foods I was ok'ed to have a slice of wheat bread...maybe someone can school me on the diff of not having toast but having rice? Maybe I read it differently but someone said they don't eat bread but they eat rice?

Sleeved 11.12.

That's the important thing...you feeling good with that personal goal. Keep it moving!
