  4. You know, the only food-related thing I still struggle with is salt. I crave salt and salty foods like crazy, want to douse everything I eat with it. Not only that, but hot sauce/soy sauce is basically addictive to me, to the point where I have a very strong desire to just drink it! Just goes to show you, surgery doesn't "fix" you. You still have to make the decision every moment of every day that your health matters more than your desire to eat. It's a long, winding, never-ending road, but also a rewarding one.

      I cook with regular salt, but I season with (and sometime eat a tiny bit of on my finger :P) Himalayan pink salt because it has minerals that are good for everyone but especially for women with PCOS, which I am. :) I like it!

      @WLSResources/ClothingExch - would it be super weird to say that actually sounds appealing?!

      I've been told we may be craving salt because of some deficiency or another, but as all my vitamin levels are completely normal, I'm thinking it's just a transfer thing. We can't eat sugar/bread/etc anymore, and salt goes down just fine and stimulates our tastebuds quite a bit. It's pretty frustrating.

  18. Yesterday I ate the amount of calories that my nutritionist keeps telling me I should be eating... and I gained a pound overnight. :/ Is it possible I just have lower calorie needs than what they think I should be eating?

  19. Hello? Anyone out there?

  20. 3rd day post-op!

  21. This has been a learning experience for me. I have decided to make better choices on what I eat and surprisingly it wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be. I don't have cravings like I use to for bread and junk food. I have replaced bad snack with healthy choices. Who knew that fresh fruit smoothies would kill my cravings for sugar? Now I can't get enough of them. Who knew that veggies could be a free food that I could load up on and actually get full? Apparently not me lol! I had my 30 day weigh-in this past week and with consistent exercise and healthy food choices I managed to lose 9 1/2 pounds. Yay for small victories. Now I wait for the green light. :-)

  22. trying tp wrap my head around the fact I lost an entire adult is just crazy to me!! 131 lbs gone and when I hit my goal weight 155 i would have lost 155 lbs lol crazy!!!! now the count down and saving begins for my brachioplasty!!!
