    Your roomie is wrong and you need to put her in check. It's not her place to discuss your surgery, your weight or anything else personal. Girl...make her get her life.

    oh, I know he's wrong. Putting him in check though, is a fight I just don't have the energy for right now. We've already had a semi-physical fight a week after surgery and we're still working at getting 'over' that as he said a lot of mean and nasty things.

    I'm just tired of fighting with him, so anytime something comes up that might lead to a fight - I just leave the room. I'm working on myself first, after I'm ohkay - I'll start the process of looking for a new place since he won't move out. Some days though, I'll admit I like the company when we get along.

    yeaaah... my roommate is going to make it difficult for me to date the guys I want to - without them knowing about the wls because he likes to tell everyone how I had 80% of my stomach cut out to lose weight, instead of just leaving it at she had surgery (which is what my sister said to our waitress the other night because the lady thought I didn't like my salad or something as wrong with my food).

    I'm cool with people knowing, but the way he says it and the tone he says it in is more him judging me and trying to put me down about it. And I want to date one of his friends after I am at a more confident space in my mind to deal with me and someone else.

    I've been looking for something like this too - I keep finding ones though that are for free weights (which I'm not brave enough to go do even at PF - roommate uses them.) I like the machines better atm and would like to find an app for them. I've been carrying around one of those small binders to keep track in.

    Pate is duck/chicken livers that are made into a paste, and they add herbs and spices... its actually really yum... its french and goes really well with cheese.

    well - I tried potted meat because it had high Protein... AND high sodium (less then half a teaspoon and I decided waaaaaaay to salty) I'll look around for pate and try it too *nods* I'm willing to try anything once! and that goes for almost everything!

    BTW - what is Pate??

    and @@BigViffer is aboslutely right about the working out bit - I remember before surgery when I'd go to the gym - I'd do 30 mins on treadmill then go workout on the machines (i'm not brave enough to do free weights yet - roommate hangs out there) I'd be RAVENOUS afterwards...

    just a few more weeks til I can return to doing weights... I started back at the gym last night - did 30 mins... and it felt so good to be back there, can't wait until tonight - I have my first Water aerobics class in years :)

    I've been struggling with meeting my Protein goals too - it seems that after surgery, I am having a harder time tolerating the protien shakes that I could before.

    I took up Viffer's idea of baking them, I was probably doing something wrong when baking it! :D I could eat it, if I remembered to take really small bites, but if I took a big one - gah! only way to get it down was to drink Water while eating it. Im still working on perfecting that though - eating it is a lot easer for me then drinking.

    Finally figured out I can put it in my cream of wheat and be fine eating it that way. Water goals I have no problems with... just gettingmy Protein in. Friday is payday, so I'm going to buy some shakes for work, and try a different Protein Powder with MORE protein in it - so hopefully I won't have to eat/drink as much of it to meet goal.

    That being said, my new motto is :

    Bacon/pizza/ Coke Zero/ steak for everyone, all the time, whenever you want!

    That's definitely been my motto around here lately!! Do what you want, get what you get. If it works for you -- AWESOME! If it doesn't, choose to change it or don't. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

    Oh, and you forgot the popcorn. ;)

    NO, popcorn!!! I've been very good, do not bring it to my attention! I'm getting better at walking right past all those awesome looking bags, and not even giving them a second glance... but then I'm staying away from movie theaters for a little while longer too :D and I'll probably dump the bag on one of my sisters should they have the misfortune to make some...

    One sister already did something loco, invited me over for dinner, and I mean she actually made it a point to call and ask me to come over - something she VERY rarely does, so I was like absolutely I'll be over! and she does know I am not supposed to eat certain things.

    Guess what she made - homemade mac and cheese with chicken in it and potatoe chips baked on top - not a veggie in sight, and I just sighed, and picked out the chicken.< /p>

    Ask your surgeon/nutritionist, mine says Protein, veggies, carbs. I've noticed I don't have the issues others do with various foods, which means I have to be super careful what I eat as I'm at solid stage now... while I can't eat a lot - I don't want this to be a waste of time. But I'm staying away from rice, Pasta, and potates for a long time.

    Thank you for your suggestions :) I wish I could have milk lol my surgeon said no milk and only sugar free silk... and that stuff is nasty by itself. Made a coconut/ginger sugar free milk Soup with a bit of strained cream of chicken and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Protein. That was good.

    My first and only atm is a triqueta incased in a circle on the back of my left shoulder - an old Charmed reference as I two younger sisters and we all did it - it was also my gift to myself for having made it to my one goal of 280 from 323.

    Second one will be a combo of a Sagittarius/capricorn - as I am both - I plan that one for meeting goal, probably will have it on done on the inside of my lower arm.

    third and last will happen if I have plastics - I'm sure I will want to, but the reward for saving for it and doing it is going to be a dragon that wraps around me tail starting at my left hip climbing up my back to have the head resting on my shoulder. and honestly I won't care how old I am lol
