Sorry about those two random pics of the recipe at the end. Couldn't get em off. Lol

Had to share this with all of you! Made this tonight and it totally helped satisfy my pizza craving! Of course it's not like pigging out on a Pizza Hut stuffed crust meat lovers pizza...but it still tastes delicious! Plus It's high in protein and super low in carbs. Gotta try it!! Here's a link to the recipe: http://sassysouthernyankee.com/2014/02/chicken-pizza-crust/

Don't pack it! Aren't you going on a cruise? Go and have fun and leave the stress at home. Just remember protein first and very little carbs and your sleeve will keep you from over doing it.In fact- take your measurements now and when you come back take them again so you can see that those ounces add up in inches! It will also give you the scale and your measurements to look forward to when you come home! Measurements are a good idea! I'd like to relax but I wish the scale would move faster - was hoping to be down a few more lbs before I go away in 2 weeks. It isn't a cruise just a lake house with my 2 kids and husband, so I could bring my scale I will bring my food scale in any case. Does it seem to you that I am eating a lot? I find it hard to get the protein in without the calories! Obviously! im sorry. Think I confused you with someone else in the group. But still all the same- leave that scale at home and relax. You will do just fine. (and u probably will be down a few more lbs in a couple of weeks!)

Hope you're all settled in after your move. Did you graduate recently or just move to another location while you finish school? What did you major in? (Sorry so many questions but you got me curious. Also sorry I didn't ask when you first posted. Been so busy I didn't have time to ask until now.) I just graduated in May! My major was dance education with a minor in special education- dance team and classes are big in high school in Texas! So not only do I get to teach, I get to workout for my job - which will be so much easier now!!awesome!! That is the coolest job! I'm happy for you! Congrats! And sooo many more options for a major in dance. You could even have your own studio some day!

congrats!! So happy for you! Sure can't wait until I can be done with obesity for good too!

I'm down 36lbs from SW (45lbs from HW) and realized though the scale isn't moving as fast as it was its been 36 days since surgery so I've technically lost a pound a day. It's a darn shame it can't go as quickly as it has been forever. I am also super excited because I now have less than 100lbs to lose!! Finally doesn't feel so darn overwhelming! Makes me pretty confident I can manage to make it to onderland within the next 8 months How's everyone else doing? Anyone else get caught up in daily activities and life enough yet to almost forget about surgery and your limits? I took a big gulp of Water last night and choked horribly on the acid that came up because of it. Also catch myself forgetting meals or not drinking enough because I lose track of time. It does feel great to finally feel good and like I can get back to life without dwelling on the struggles of the first month like fatigue and inability to figure out what to eat or not eat. And it feels frickin amazing to have people noticing the weight loss already. I am totally loving my sleeve! Hope you all are too!!

Sorry about your back. That must have been awful to deal with so soon after surgery. How did you hurt it? I was wondering where you went off to. I'm glad to hear from you again. 22lbs lost in a month is an awesome achievement! I'm happy for you! The avocado is awesome in chicken salad. A tsp of plain Greek yogurt helps to moisten it a bit too. I've just gotten clearance for regular foods this week. Already discovered that beef, pork, and nuts do not agree with my new stomach. I am loving seafood and veggies tho. Feel super satisfied. Just been having a weird craving for fudgesicles. Doesn't help that my family has been indulging in them lately with it so hot outside. This craving is so weird since I did not like chocolate much before surgery and was not a big ice cream eater. Although I did crave them while pregnant. Gonna have to be sure that's not the case now. lol

The premier shakes are the best I've found and I love the vanilla in my coffee. Also, love the P3 protein chicken packs. Thanks for the coupon tip for Walmart. I'll have to stock up because my family has been eating them too. Sooo happy for you and your weight loss!

Have to tell you all I bought a veggeti maker from Walmart and tried it tonight to make zucchini and squash noodles. I made two small different dishes for my family out of 2 zucchini and 3 small squash. I sautéed half in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic until browned and OMG!! That was sooo good! Then I boiled the rest and covered them in shrimp and a basil pesto sauce. They are loving my healthy meals. Lol I am having so much fun finding recipes on Pinterest for new, appetizing, low carb and high protein foods.

Awesome! Congrats!!

How much have you lost so far? & What stage are you in on your diet?I'm about to move to solids on the 29th. I think I'm stalling and then the scale drops again. I know it will slow down eventually but I'm loving that right now if I don't lose a pound today I will lose one or two tomorrow. Gonna be bummed when this stops cuz this has been fun to watch. Lol I finally have some energy again. Not enough to do much more than swim but I am so happy I can finally work and clean my house without feeling as if I'll faint at any moment. I'm still under 300 calories a day and struggling to get in 40g of protein a day but I feel good. Clothes are getting loose and week 4 looks like it'll be a good one. My bday was Saturday and I celebrated by eating a half of a boiled crab and 1 1/2 shrimp. I was sooo happy and full. Lol I am totally loving my sleeve right now! ***please remind me of this post if I eventually have a bad day! Lol***

Please pray for the people in Lafayette, Louisiana. A shooter just opened fire in a movie theater my family and I frequent often. Luckily we weren't there tonight. He killed 3 people and injured more than 8. Then he shot himself. We are all broken hearted here in South Louisiana tonight.

If you can find the P3 protein packs (I've found them at Walmart and walgreens) they really are awesome. One is grilled chicken breast (I mentioned before) but it's soft and so easy to chew. Plus they come with ranch or teriyaki sauce which adds more moisture to make it even softer. They also have one with tiny ham and cheese cubes and almonds. Of course we have to skip the almonds but the cubes are the perfect tiny bite sizes for us. I think you would really like em.
