EEk EEk EEK EEK! ATTACK OF THE KILLER PIZZA!!! lol. I had a dream that I was in the back of the grocery store. The whole back wall was filled with all kinds of pastries and breads you could think of. From the ceiling to the floor it was filled with goodies. It was hard for me to choose and of course I needed a ladder to get the chocolate filled donuts. I dream of food and think about it during the day all the time. SMH. Its a mind trip.

Around 3 am this morning, my tummy was having a good time. I choose not to engage in the conversation and turned over.

yeah, my hubby is joking me now because I east every 2 hours. He says that I really didn't have the surgery. But when you are only eatng 2 tblsps per meal you can do that. And guess what hun, I am going to eat in another 2 hours, lol.I am always burping and have the hiccups too.

Mine is like that the first time I drink something in the morning.

I know when I saw my NP the other day, she told me straight up that its a reality that people slip. But the first 6-12 Mk months is the best time to lose the weight. There is no doubt in my mind that I will that taste for a diet drink and get it. I am in stage 4 and can eat whatever I want, which I don't. But that's it, no restrictions now. I have flown the nest and it's up to me to make this happen. Just moderation.

I love allrecipe.com all day! These sound awesome and would go good with a few cheddar cubes for a nice snack. I will check these out later. Thx for sharing.

Great story and I totally understand.

I am like that with cashews. I love them but I am afraid to bring them in the house. How about eating a cheese stick first and then the portion of almonds.

Horton, I am the same. When I wake up in the morning, I drink the rest of my water. That stomach will have you downstairs eating at 2 am, lol.

Not odd at all. I was a chugger too. But it will hurt in the beginning if you do not sip. At two months out, I still sip but just more often. It's way easier to get 64 ounces in paper day now. Like others stated, I keep water by my bed at night. You can play catch up that way, lol.

I called my insurance twice. The first the rep said there was no paperwork submitted. I called my case manager right after that call. The second time I called them, I got my approval. I knew before my case manager lol. Shut, I never received that approval letter either lol. I totally feel what you guys are going through.

Hello, now this will be my experience. 1. It was very hard to get the calories in. The main thing was to stay hydrated and try to push the Protein shakes. I had little appetite and had some nausea. Make sure to sip sip and sip. 2. At 2 months out, I can sleep on my tummy. 3. The Protein drinks kept me full and with the nausea, I had no desire to eat. 4.Head hunger to me is when I am looking at. recipe videos and I get hungry. Other than that, its real hunger over here lol. I am set to eat every 2 hours. I stop drinking my Water 10-30 minutes before I eat. 5. My go to foods/liquids are yogurt,Protein Shakes or bars. I am still depending on the protein drinks. There are plenty of people that can help. Keep the questions coming. Later!

Yeah, the greek yogurt is good for us especially the protein count. But the problem lays when they have those delicious varities. Maybe get the regular greek yogurt and add some sugar free chocolate syrup, homemade fruit compote or some sugar free perserves. That will help with less sugar. My NUT suggested that I try to keep lok for things with 5g or less of sugar.

Still losing weight, love handles gone and working on that pouch. Way to go! I went to the doctors yesterday and I am down 8 more pounds since last month! By my BP is still high though. The NP told me that she would like for me to be 50 less by February. Is she nuts? Sweet but nuts! I am not even going to set a goal like that and then be diappointed if I do not meet that goal. She said that this the honemoon phase and the best time to lose the most weight. We will see. It is good to see everyone is heading in the right direction. Later Loser!

Still here and happy. I was up early this morning doing the Biggest Loser video with Bob Harper on Youtube. It was awesome! the first one is only 16 minutes but it is good. The second one uses weights and I am going to try that one tomorrow morning. I have to be very careful with this arthritis in my knees. I am a bit lazy when it comes to exercising so I decided that I was at least going to do it on the weekends. sometimes the pain in my knees deters me but I have to keep it moving. I am also depending on at least one Protein drink or bar a day. I like the Pure Protein Bars. I have my 2 month check-in on Monday and I hope to be in the 250s and my BP will be low. We are over at the August Post Op board. Later losers!

I will be 2 months out on the 26th. I am allowed to have whole wheats, cream of wheat and oatmeal. I started eating about 1 tblsp of bulgar wheat the other day. I had it the other day with some Peanut Butter and raspberry compote. It was a nice and filling snack. I can also have 3 saltine crackers but I wouldn't do that often personally. I am just sticking to the bulgar, wheat berries and quinoa for now. Really trying to get that Fiber in. Later Loser!

I have a Nutribullet. It had no probelms for me in the puree stage. I absolutely hated the pureed stage, lol. It is awesome for smoothies. I do notice when I make my protein shakes in it, the foam sits on top. I just scrape it off or give it to one of my crumb snatchers.

Wow this is something. At almost two months out, I can have whole grains, some frutis,low fat cheese and even a pat of butter. I am sitting her snacking on 2 tbls of bulgar and curry shrimp(one shrimp) now. truly every plan is different. I hope the best for you. Hang in there. Later Loser!

I was sleeved on August 26th. I was nervous as all out back. I was so nervous that I was quiet and calm, scarey. I was just going through the motions. I was there and I just kept moving through the process. This people were taking me here and there and asking questions. They gave me something to calm me right before going in the OR. I am so glad that I went through with it. I hope next time you will too. No regrets

Just remember to keep sipping those fluids and move around. It will get better. Later loser!

And fell down to her knees..

Ah man! It is such a wonderful accomplishment. I am not fully able to cross my legs but I am getting there. I semi-cross them everyday. My husband says that I think I am cute. He will never understand. But you guys do. Its not about being cute. To be able to sit like a woman and not with my legs COCKED wide open with my hand on my hip. Or with my hands under my belly. To look at a pic and see that, I hated it. I have never been able to cross my legs and always wanted to know how it feels. That is one of my NSV goals. Everyday I am going to keep trying until it's right. So, YOU GO GIRL! later losers!

Congrats to everyone with their awesome weight lose. Can you believe that it is almost 2 or 3 months for some of us? It has been a very interesting ride. I will have my weigh in Monday and will update then. Keep pushing forward! It's all down hill from here. Later losers!

They are very filling! In the past I would take down like four with the bun. Amazing!
