    My first week post-op

    You are finally on the losers side! Yay you!. THanks for sharing with us and enjoy your weight lose ride. You have been floating around here for a while and i think you already know the drill. congrats and later loser!
  4. That would be fun gamergirl! Thanks for the awesome recipes. I am definitely bookmarking your blog. But congrats on your weight lose, you look awesome.
  5. I am thinking about a crab rangoon or shrimp filling for those peppers too. Yummy!
  6. I only told a few family members afterwards and they were like, "ok". Something important to you a lot of people could care less about. So,I am not even going to bring it up in any of my conversations. I made the right decision when I told the people important to me. They are very supportive.
  7. That's like three more meals for you.I love the sleeve! That salmon looks good too,lol. I did check out blog and you have some good recipes. I am going to make the stuffed sweet peppers soon
  8. I am obsessed with recipes. I like flavorful foods and take my time to prepare my foods now. I made fried rice using bulgar instead of rice. To me,there was no difference. Loaded it with cabbage,eggs and green onions. I made enough to last a few meals. Next time I will post a pic.

    I baked

    It is strange. My sweet tooth has returned at 3 months out. But when I went to the store and saw all those bakery goodies, I did not want one. I try to stick to my protein drinks for that sugar monster. I also found a sleeve friendly recipe for no bake peanut butter protein bars.

    7 Months Post Op

    Yes, Livvsmum I can see it in your profile. i am craving sweets too and ended up buying yogurt almonds. I try to make sure to make my Protein shake eveyday to help tame my cravings. I am not even 7 months out yet and I have to get my head back into the game. WE CAN DO THIS, WE WILL DO THIS! Proteins first and get rid of the crap! Later Losers!
  13. Congrats to you! Another great inspiration for us all. Thanks for sharing with us. Later Loser!
  14. 14 pounds in two weeks is awesome. Just keep looking forward.

    dumping syndrome

    The dumping is real. I am a sleever and had a few episodes. I could not even drink sugar free drinks without feeling queezy. My episode was the foamies(spitting) and sitting on the potty at the same time. So, I am not even willing to try Crystal Light or even Vitamin Water at all. I was able to have diet green tea but I diluted that as well. Anything high in sugar is a no no. I also baked chicken skin is a no no as well. the other day I sauteed some onions and I got sick. I love sauteed onions but I cannot have them by themselves or I think it was the mayo. Anyway, don't let the videos deter you. I know its hard.

    7 Months Post Op

    At 3 months out, I am noticing the same. I think I have to start eating chicken breast lol. But seriously, I am a little concerned as well. I just make sure that I eat every 2 hours and do the Proteins first. I hope it will change for both of us. Later Loser!
  17. On November 26th I will officially be 3 months out. I am feeling pretty good these days. getting my proteins and fluids in. On the 25th I will go to the doctor, I hope to be in the 240's. I still ahve a long ways to go before I reach my goal weight.

      Hey girl I will also be 3 months out on the 26th. I had to cancel my Dr apt due to weather but I am half way to goal. I am sure you are doing fabulous so just keep on keepin on. I look forward to seeing how the appt. goes.

  18. Such a wonderful feeling, I know. It is a littel hard for me register that I can actually get into XL shirts. I am not totally comfortable wearing them yet, but I can actually put it on. It just cannot believe it. I am actually scared to try on smaller sizes. Its weird. but I love this journey. Happy losing! Later Losers!

    NSV shout outs

    I actually can wear a XL flair skirt . I can finally wear skirts and shirts and get rid of my MOO MOO dresses. When I hug my children, I can actually feel them and wrap my arms around them. I don't feel like a slob. I can wear two bras comfortably to keep things up. I am able to zip up my winter coat without feeling like I am about suffocate. I can actully wear a jacket under my winter coat if i need to. I can cross my legs better (I am always crossing them) I can run up and down the stairs without my knees hurting! I can go all day without deodorant and not smell like a skunk. I can shave without any problems. I love my sleeve and I look forward to many NSVs. Later Losers!

    Thoughts on sugar free?

    I was going to do the Stevia. But I decided not too. I do get the fat free yogurt though. If I want to add sweetness, I will use real deal Amish honey. If I have a sweet tooth, I will have a protein shake or bar. Better yet, I even made my own protein bars.

    Exercise

    I had to same problem. I do my workout 5 in the morning. Its too early for me to eat so I just drink my protein shake. But I will have kind of fruit (usually a banana),milk and either yogurt or peanut butter for more protein. Once I started this, I was fine. My NUT told me it was my sugar levels. I needed eat something.
  22. I like that Proudgrammy. I would love to seat with you. I am sure you will have me cracking up all the time. Losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks is awesome. That is a great accomplishment. My surgeon expext me to lose 10 pounds PER month by the time I see him in February. Your weight lose will slow down though. Enjoy it now. Later loser!

    New recipe sooooo yummy

    Sounds yummy-licious! I also saw a recipe for pizza bella. Use mushroom for the crust instead of the dough.

    Eating Slowly

    This is my topic. I am a fast eater. At 3 months out I can defintely eat faster. That is the worst thing you can do. The food has to travel and a few times I overate. Not a good feeling. I multi task, like one poster stated. That is the only way for me to slow down. Majority of times, my food will be cold, lol.
