Dec 10, 2012 they removed my band & sleeved me

Doing well, down 21.5lbs. Pain is finally gone from where my port was. When they went in for surgery they found my bands sutures had broke and the band had moved to my esophagus causing esophageal dilation. I had esophageal spasms for the first few weeks. They finally stopped and I am feeling pretty darn good.

That's great! Keep up the good work

What size are the girls we are trying to contain?

I was sleeved dec 10th, my hair is a little thinner, but I had to color my hair last week because the grey was so bad & I go back to work tomorrow. Looks great & no more shedding then I was doing already.

Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, corn & ketchup. A favorite dish of our house. That was actually tasty puréed together, but since I was a kid I always mixed my plate with this dish.

Tell them you're recovering from food poisoning and don't want to push yourself

Broke my stall today! Down 21.1lbs as of this morning

Wahoo broke my stall! Sleeved dec 10th, finally down 21.1lbs!

My son is 5 (6 in march) quite the blabber mouth, i love his dearly he's just like me lol. I don't want my a*****e exhusband to ever know I had the surgery so I told him & my son that I was having my gallbladder removed. So far so good, that was dec 10th

Yes, regardless of what I lose I always have felt like the fat girl. Doesn't bother me that I can eat so little. No moodier than I was before. Yeah I'm tired but need to get more Protein & Water in.

Anyone eating tofu for more protein?

Found this one on line I wanna try Coconut Curry Tofu Ingredients 2 bunches green onions 1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk 1/4 cup soy sauce, divided 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 2 teaspoons chile paste 1 pound firm tofu, cut into 3/4 inch cubes 4 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced 4 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 4 cups chopped bok choy salt to taste Directions Remove white parts of green onions, and finely chop. Chop greens into 2 inch pieces. In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, mix coconut milk, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger, and chile paste. Bring to a boil. Stir tofu, tomatoes, yellow pepper, mushrooms, and finely chopped green onions into the skillet. Cover, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in basil and bok choy. Season with salt and remaining soy sauce. Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but crisp. Garnish with remaining green onion.

Took me 3 wks before the esophageal spasms stopped, I was a band to sleeve revision. Try to sit/sleep reclined, take slow breaths when they hit. It sucks but it will pass.

Had mine done 12/10/12 in one surgery

So looks kinda gross, smells weird. Lol I mixed 2tbs with 2tbs pb2, 1/2 small banana, 1/2c milk &. 1/2c water. Strange texture. But made a decent meal

Has anyone tried Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & oils HEMP PRO 70 Water soluble 70% Protein concentrate? Came in the mail yesterday & haven't tried it yet wanted to hear any feed back & preparation recommendations

Sleeve date 12/10/12 198.5 Today 179 Down 19.5lbs (Revision from lap band to sleeve due to complications)

Ordered mine off amazon

Made it for my son today. So good. Made just a few modifications for less calories & added turkey pepperoni & onion on top. Ingredients: 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese* 1 egg, beaten 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning 1/2 tsp crushed garlic 1/2 tsp garlic salt Olive oil (optional) pizza sauce Mozzarella cheese, shredded Other additional toppings of your choice Directions: To rice your cauliflower, take 1/4 large head of cauliflower, remove the stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to a food processor and pulse just until it looks like rice. Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater. Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl, add 1/4 cup Water, and microwave for 6-8 minutes, stirring half-way through. To make the pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a pizza pan or cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese and egg together and stir until well incorporated. Add the oregano, garlic, and garlic salt. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and shape into a 9-inch circle. Brush the crust with olive oil to help it brown in the oven. Baked at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes, until the crust is browned and cooked through the middle. Remove the crust from the oven, add your sauce and toppings. Place under a broiler at high heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (About 3-4 minutes).

So frustrating not seeing the scale move for 2weeks. I know I know don't watch the scale, but its frustrating. I'm only down 18lbs and scale only fluctuates up 2lbs and them back down the 2lbs. I have 60-65 more lbs to loose.
