I've had very small amounts of white meat Kung Pao chicken a few times already with no problems! Avoid the rice if you can though. I've had issues even with tiny amounts. Enjoy!

I had surgery with Dr. McKenna at Frederick Memorial on 10/28 and could not have been happier with the entire process! The hospital was much nicer than any of the others in my area!

Way to go guys! My 1 year is in a week and I'm down 95 lbs! Hoping for five more, but I'm happy where I am

Hi Everyone!
Just touching base, which I have been really bad about! How is everyone doing?
I'm still moving along slowly, but surely at this point - about 1 lb. a week. I'll take it though!! I have not been able to exercise at all since I broke my leg in January and I'm lucky enough to just be able to walk without the boot, crutches, etc. at this point. Extremely thankful that I had surgery and lost a chunk of weight before I fell or I would have probably gained 50 lbs. laying around for two months.
I only weigh myself around once a week now, which seems to work better for my psyche now that things have slowed down. I'm shooting for 21 more lbs. to get to 150, but will be happy if I land anywhere in between. I am wearing a size 10 and I'm not sure I have ever been a size 10 before. EVER!! Just being able to shop in regular stores makes all of the past several months worth it!!
I hope everyone is feeling great and keep up the good work!

Oh no, I broke my leg on 1/15 & had surgery on it 1/22! It sucks so much not being able to walk!!
I has WLS 10/28 and was down 70 lbs the last time I weighed myself. Keep up the good work everyone!

I was sleeved on October 30th. I've lost so much weight sense surgery I'm kinda in awe! Everyone around me is jealous and very supportive. I have a waist!!! I've never had a waist! This is the best feeling ever and I don't want it to stop. I did however have a nerverous break down about buying a new pair of jeans because my old ones no longer fit me. I've been trading clothes with my best friend to keep clothes on myself.
Good luck to everyone I hope you all have the success I have.

I have been trying to get on here for days. The page either doesn't load or a post freezes and wipes out before posting. So my apologies for not responding and being supportive. I know someone had emergency hemmie surgery, hope they are on the mend and feeling better. Prune juice has been magical. Phase 4 has been tough but having lots of NSVs - tying shoes, more stamina for shopping and doing chores, donating bags of
Clothes. And last night had a really cool experience, in the ER with mom (she's ok now) and after 7 hours I had to eat something, the vending machine had a Protein pack of cheese, ham and almonds 2 ounces 13 grams of protein, cold fresh delist! hubby so impressed he's ordering it for his store. The old me would have gone for the pretzels and never considered anything else. Lovely, congrats on graduating!!! May this coming new year bring everyone good health and happiness and peace on earth.

Cookies sound yummy! Maybe add a little unflavored Protein powder too. I have a hard time most days getting enough Protein also.
Word to the wise though....If you aren't already, take Benefiber!!! I didn't and ended up having emergency hemmie surgery yesterday! Dying over here....

Checking in to see how everyone did over Thanksgiving? I had a bite or two of turkey, stuffing, and potatoes and it was wonderful

My surgeon required endoscopy with H Pylori test before I could get approved for surgery. Sorry you are having to go through this now.
