Crossing my legs like a lady

204 this week. Thanks!!

Wearing tall boots that will actually zip up.

Call someone from BariatricPal. They will skype with you and give you all of the information you need. I went through them and it was only good. They had someone pick me up from the airport and there was someone with me and my husband all of the time. I used Dr Jesus Martin Lopez and he was amazing! I have had no issues at all.

I eat one scrambled egg every day. I love eggs

I just saw your post. I am six pounds from onederland so I will join and start tomorrow!! I will need to go shopping for Protein Shakes.

I used Dr Jesus Martin Lopez in Tijuana and booked my surgery through BariatricPal. I can't brag on Dr Lopez and his staff enough. My experience was great. I have had no problems and if I need anything I can call or email and he will answer my questions.

207 this week. Thanks!

I don't post that often on here any more because there is a group that will find some way to bash someone's post. Blaming you for men being rude is not right. I think you are having to re-learn what you find attractive in men. If something about then is unattractive move on. And men have different preferences just like women do. When we were big we attracted men that like big women. When we get smaller, we attract men that like small women. What they like doesn't matter. It's what you like that matters. Figure out what you want and don't settle for less.

As for the negative posts from the certain group, don't let them bother you. They are no different than the men who try and make you feel like what they do is your fault: and guess what, someone will bash me for this comment.

209 this week. Thanks!

I drink GNC total lean premade shakes. Best when you drink them cold or over ice.

Good luck!! You will be great

Congratulations!!

212.... Thanks

I like the GNC total lean ready to drink shakes. They are super easy to drink cold. I love them

My fitness pal

I have scrambled egg with turkey sausage crumbles; strawberries and blueberries: and one slice whole grain toast for breakfast

Usually a Greek yogurt for a snack

Grilled chicken or chicken salad with a salad for lunch

Either a Protein drink or cheese and nuts for snack

A grilled or roasted Protein with salad for supper.

Usually a SF Popsicle in the evening.

I generally get between 750-900 calories a day; between 60-80 protein; between 50-60 carbs and try keeping my fats between 20-30

I totally remember dating some men (divorced men) whose personalities and habits had me stunned to think that these men had actually had first wives, i.e., someone actually had loved these guys enough to marry them!

This is particularly true with internet dating, which is why, if I found myself single now, I'd NEVER internet date. My experience was that the dating sites were repositories of the worst of the worst.

It makes sense. Any good man, a man well-educated, polite, loving and kind? He would still be married.

I disagree with your take on Internet dating. Whether it is on the Internet or not, there are some odd people out there. Either way you have to weed through them. I am currently married but when I was single I dated quite a few really good men from online dating. And keep in mind that some men are not still married because they were married to crazy insane ladies.

213 this week. Thanks

I use agave light nectar. I have used honey also but prefer agave nectar. It takes very little to add flavor

216.... Thanks

I know how you feel wagyu. I've been 170 for 2 1/2 weeks now! im starting to get a little obsessive with the scale which i dont want to be. I think i will change up my exercise routine a little. Maybe that will help. Good luck to you!

I did a 4 mile walk sit jog today. Felt good. But staying away from the scale for a while. Good luck! Let me know how it goes

I'm 5'0" and 15 weeks post op and I have lost 52 pounds.

That's amazing!!! Would love to lose that Much: what have you been eating after month 1

Since 1993, age 12, I have been 4ft 11 3/4. As of my appt at the surgeons office 09/24/15, they say I'm 4ft9. Not sure i shrunk or what, but glad to see other shorties on here!! I'm getting sleeved 10/26.

Good luck!! Gonna be an awesome journey

My 52 pounds includes my two week pre-op diet which I started May 26th. At the one month mark I started adding In different Proteins. I have added different foods each week. Sometimes I am ready for them and sometimes not. My body lets me know. The key for me has been logging my food. Knowing how much I am getting in Protein, carbs, fats. Now each day I get my Proteins, dairy, two veggies, two fruits. I haven't found room yet for grains, but that will come.

I am 15 weeks out and I have lost 52 pounds. I generally lose 1-2 pounds per week

I'm 5'0" and 15 weeks post op and I have lost 52 pounds.

I have a completely knee replacement with limited bend so I completely understand! It definitely limits what I can and cannot do. I am 15 weeks out so I am working on adding fruits and veggies into my diet. I am getting better. I still have some premixed shakes but only use them seldomly. The things I don't eat at all.... Breads (occasional whole grain slice of toast); rice, Pasta, processed foods, sweets, sodas, fried foods, caffeine.

I generally start with a scrambled eggs with turkey sausage crumbles and a Greek yogurt with my supplements. dinner will be a Protein with 1 cup of mixed greens and 1/3 cup of berries. I add a lite dressing. Supper again is a Protein with a vegetable. I will have a morning snack of nuts/cheese or fruit and 1/2 a Protein Shake. And afternoon snack is usually a yogurt. I also am addicted to SF Popsicles. I get between 750-850 calories a day and my nutrient count is usually protein-60-80gr; carbs 50-60; fats 28-less.
