I've been eating Snap pea crisps. The grocery store near me has tons of flavors from Tomato basil to blacked pepper and ceasar. They are crunchy and delicious. 110 cals and 5g protien. 12g carbs.

I make califlower rice a lot but never thought of making fried rice that way. Thanks for the idea! And I will definitely look into trader Joe's. Frozen and already riced would be much easier!I'm anxious to try fried cauliflower "rice" - with egg and chicken, I'm thinking it will be a great choice. Trader Joes sells riced cauliflower in the frozen section.

My staples are chipotle Tabasco, jalapeno salt, and greek seasoning. Not all 3 at once but I use at least 1 or 2 every day. Greek seasoning is great on ground meat or chicken. Same with the jalapeno salt. A little goes a long way. And chipotle Tabasco... I put some of that on everything.

I personally had an ugi the next day after surgery but I have heard of some doctors testing while you're still asleep. So that could happen but they should always check first before you eat or drink

Thank you for your insight. I'm sure some of my choices haven't been the best but he doesn't point it out to me. I will talk to him and ask for better communication.I would be a bit upset with him for that, but try to be calm about it and ask him what he meant, with specific examples of what he is seeing you eat that is bad stuff. If he is seeing you eat things that are bad for you and you're not registering that you're doing this, then that is concerning. If you have changed your eating habits (eating healthy Proteins, veggies and then complex carbs in moderation) and your boyfriend still said that, then he's very out of touch with what is happening with you.
So is it because he hasn't been paying attention or is acting kind of snarky (annoying and needs to be discussed calmly with him), or because you aren't eating as healthy as you think you are (concerning)?
Not trying to sound mean, because I know I did try to eat some things in the beginning months that were still crap foods, and kind of lied to myself that they didn't matter since I was still losing weight. It is easy to fall into that trap. Eating as clean as you can for as long as you can definitely helps reprogram your appetite and encourages you to build better food habits. So that when you're several years out, the occasional bad food isn't something that you want all the time anyway.
You can still lose lots of weight eating crap food but after about 1 year - 18 months, your body will eventually adjust and you'll regain the weight if you haven't gotten the healthy eating habits down.
Again - not saying you're not doing a great job - I can't know exactly what he is or isn't seeing with you; just offering some perspective and ideas to discuss with the boyfriend.
And do tell him that sometimes things like what he said can be a bit hurtful and ask him to think before he speaks if it turns out he really doesn't have any food observations worth anything.

He has a bit of a beer belly but not obese. He is doing biggest loser at work and has lost 10 lbs so far. We have been together 2.5 yrs and he is usually so supportive. I think he thought I would lose weight more quickly.meganliz0824 I can imagine what he said was hurtful. It sounds like he is doubting your success. Is he overweight? How long have you guys been together? Could he be scared of losing you so he is trying to sabotage your weight loss?

I'm going to vent a bit here and looking for some support. Maybe constructive criticism. Last night in bed with my boyfriend he was rubbing by back and belly and grabbing at my rolls. I said hey soon you won't be able to do that and he said "yeah ok" and "nope" little remarks. I asked what he meant and he said well you eat how you did before surgery just less. I have never been so angry. I am 3 months post op and have lost 50 pounds. I don't eat half the things I used to before. We used to order out and run through mcdonalds all the time and I haven't don't that at all. I eat much healthier than I ever have. There are a couple things I probably shouldn't have had but I'm still fairly new and learning this new life. Someone please tell me I'm not crazy and I can do this!!! Really hurt right now.

I work in a hospital setting so I had access to this before surgery. It is fabulous. You can find it cheaper on Amazon but it is definitely worth it.

I like taking the yoplait greek whipped yogurt and throwing it in the freezer. Take it out like 5 or 10 mins before you want to eat (if your freezer is super cold like mine) then enjoy. The vanilla cupcake one is heavenly. So is the strawberry cheesecake one!!

So I'm 3 months post op and have a physically active job. I was running around and got really thirsty. Grabbed my bottle and after about 4 or 5 big gulps I quickly was reminded my belly doesn't like that.. funny how we forget the simple things sometimes. That's a mistake I won't make again for a while. Ugh haha

I'm a upmc employee and the process was easy. I was amazingly never worried about denial.

I have upmc insurance and it didn't take very long. They told my 7-10days and it took like 8 days. Plus I don't think they really submitted when they said they did.I am going thru Magee and Dr. Hamad as well. They were supposed to submit to my insurance on Monday but as of today my insurance hasn't received anything so don't always take their word for it and make sure you call your insurance yourself. Did anyone have problems with their Upmc insurance getting approval?

Yes I used my fsa for copays and bills from the hoops before the surgery and surgery itself. Plus pays for my prescriptions too.

It's done laproscopic so you shouldn't need blood unless you take blood thinners and they hit an artery which is rare.

I don't know much about sushi. Didn't know they made some with no rice. The cucumber seaweed sounds good.

Yes I know the rice can do that but sushi rice is a bit harder and drier so idk if it would absorb as much liquid.. not sure. But the raw shrimp and salmon would be great. I have been eating a lot of seafood lately and was hoping sushi would work. May have to try some at home before this dinner and see how it goes.

Hello. I am 7 months post op sleeve and am traveling to texas for vacation next week. It's supposed to be over 100 every day I'm there. I plan on getting lots of Water immediately off the plane and there will be A/C in most places. Wondering how anyone deals with the extreme heat and stays hydrated enough?!
