Saw this and wanted to join in on the fun. The pictures on top are 4 days into my pre-op diet. The pictures on the bottom were taken this morning. I am 2.5 months post-op and down 87 pounds total. SW - 386 CW - 299 H - 5'11.5

Almost 5 months post op. Berry78 vs. 4oz wild Pacific salmon.

Fish won.

You have to get out at some point, and so glad you ended up meeting your friends at Applebee's! No matter where you go, there has to be some choice of food on the menu that you can have. Thankfully, so many places let you substitute!

I appreciate everyone's input! I did get the caprese chicken and it was wonderful. I rarely get in all my calories, so I didn't think that would be an issue. I got grilled veggies instead of mashed potatoes, but I only ate about a 1/3 of the meal, and that was over 3 hours time. I had a fabulous evening...

I have been listening to Dr. Matthew Weiner on YouTube. He has some very good videos. In one of his videos he talks about long term successful WLS patients and he makes some very good points. He said that if we rely on Portion Control without changing the types of foods we eat or our relationship with food, we will start to regain weight after 1 year.
He said WLS patients should not be eating fast food. I think he even said people who think they can eat the same way they used to, but just less, are mistaken.
I just thought I would share this because I think it may be helpful if you watch some of his videos. I know they have helped me.

Awesome! Congratulations!

Hi,
I met with my surgeon on Friday (06-16-17). They booked me for surgery right after the appointment. My surgery is scheduled for July 20th. I'm in Massachusetts.

do you have a SAMS club there>>if you do they are about 13$ for a case of 12..

Thank you! I feel lonely on the 20th. I can't be the only one having surgery that day!? lol

I'm an administrative assistant, I only took 1 week off. I felt fine after the first few days. For me 1 week was just right. Any longer I would have been bored out my mind.

I work as a academic mentor at a school. I initially requested 2 weeks, but ended up just staying at home for one week. I was so bored I needed to go back. I was not in pain at all I just made sure to have my Water and Protein Shakes with me.
