Surgery Weight: 225 after losing 60 pounds during 6month PreOp nutrition lessons
CW: 181
GW: 170
Hoping to reach goal sometime this summer

And, drum roll please, current weight is 273! Slowly but surely!

I'm the rebel who is sipping my coke zero through a straw as I read this.

Drinking through a straw will not stretch your sleeve nor will carbonation. I'm fairly certain I'm proof of that as I am almost 2 years out and still only eat 1/4 to a 1/2 cup at most meals. It's rare that I can eat a full cup of food and never if it's all Protein.

Go ahead, tell me how horrible I am. I can take it.

I hope your surgery went well!

I cheated as well up until two days before. .not saying it's ok...but that was the very reason why I had the surgery a tool to help me control my eating..just do not eat any solid foods these last two days...because I have heard that if there is solids in your tummy that some doctors will not complete the surgery! Good luck to you and I pray all goes well!

Do tell your story! !

Been 203 for 2 weeks now..bummed but not discouraged!! Protein is still a challenge! Still can't tolerate shakes. Just got some GENEPRO hopefully that will get me where I need to be!! Started really walking 1 week ago! 500-600 cals daily. Is that to little? Trying different foods..some ok..some not so good!! Ready to reach my first goal of 50 pounds. I am trying not to weigh myself everyday. But I just can't help myself! ! Hee hee!!

I am actually more excited for sushi now post op because I can get an order of sashimi and know that 1 order will completely fill me whereas before, I wouldn't order it because I knew I'd have to order something else to be full which would be more than I wanted to spend. Also, sashimi is all Protein and some healthy fat!

Have tried sushi and sashimi and am loving that it's now affordable. Next up, Spanish tapas.

Sushi=good! Took me a while to tolerate rice well and get full fast but agree, GREAT treat!

@ what a great weight loss thus far!! I can't say I feel exactly the same as I did before WLS...I feel alot weaker than before but I think I will gain my strength back to normal if I continue to follow the plan! It gets better and better! Thank you for sharing! I love hearing how people who has the same date as me are doing it helps me tremendously!!! If we all just keep going we will get there!! My goal weight is 140... my fantasy goal is 120 what I weighed when I was married 22 years ago! Lol I always blame my hubby for me getting plump...he just makes me to darn happy and had never complained about my weight!!!!

I tried a dragon roll today! All contents settled well. I ate 1 1/2 pieces and totally full of course. Chew chew chew! Not to happy with the MFP stats lots of carbs and sugar...so I will not make it a daily thing. ..lol but what a great treat. ..love love love sushi!

I am so sorry i did not see this...hope you had the surgery anyway... I did not delay my surgery I just did what I was supposed to do for those two days...EVERYTHING WENT GREAT. I had my gallbladder out as well.. I am two months out and 41 pounds down...your new tummy reminds you of how you need to control yourself! I have made such better decisions since my surgery! Don't beat yourself up about mistakes you make just keep going and eventually you will get it right. Your new tummy will not let you go overboard anyway. ..THE REASON FOR WLS!!
