When you become a connoisseur of cold food that started out warm...

You get jealous of people eating and drinking Water, at the same time!

Can I just say I hate it when people ask a fucking question and then act like people are being judgmental when they answer it??
Smoke your cigarettes to your little hearts content. Enjoy your higher chance of cancer, heart disease, ulcers, COPD...
It's a good thing you had weight loss surgery to become healthier, at least!
And a doctor with a "non judgemental" answer about smoking?? Good luck with that. I smoked for 25 years, and EVERYTHING that ailed me was blamed on smoking by my doctors. They don't judge smokers, they just present facts according to science and research. If you want to call that judgemental, so be it.
And if you've got a doctor who doesn't encourage you to quit, well I'm afraid they aren't doing a very good job of being a doctor.
So just stop asking the question in a public forum where you're afraid of being judged when you already know what the damn answer is.
Jeez.

Who knows. I've gained and lost the same 3 pounds the last 2-3 weeks. I just keep on keepin' on.

What size are you? I got some TC leggings and one pair is tight as all, and the others ripped on the butt. Like. Big rips. I'm an 18 so I don't get it - everywhere online says they go to a 22 and some people say 24 can fit. They're so soft!!

I love Old Navy! They used to call it "Diva" now I think it's called "Curvy". I have wider hips and a smaller waist.
Old Navy has several other cuts based on how your body is. But they're inexpensive, last forever, come in shorts and longs. And you can get them on sale for 12-15 dollars. Oh, I forgot the different denim. Usually 4ish shades. I love the super dark wash.
Huge fan!!

You won't be hungry. My nut told us this, but I didn't believe it. I have a 300 page manual - I was prepared. So prepared, we have enough Jello until 2020. I thought I'd be starving and need it all.

Shop Goodwill or your local thrift stores, that's what I plan to do.

Consignment stores! They will buy your old and give you credit towards new. Love it even at my smallest.

Comfort food.
Chili with lean meat and lots of Beans. Ham and bean Soup. French onion Soup.
Meatloaf with green Beans or other roasted veggies.
Pulled chicken and gravy.
Teriyaki salmon and stir fried veggies,
There are sooooooo many options. Shape up or I'll know and I'll come beat you.

You're worth it.
And yeah... posting around these parts is quite ho-hum lately.

Hmm. I should've thought of that. Spent a small fortune on Protein

I have a 24oz cup at work - must finish one cup before lunch, one cup before Ieave. Then a cup after dinner gets me to 64+

I used to manage and open Teavanas. What are you interested in? There's all kinds.

P3 packs (once you're cleared for nuts)
Greek yogurt
tuna
cheese (lots of cheese sticks, cheese cubes, etc.)
Refried Beans
Special K Protein Cereal with Fairlife (not low carb if you're doing that)
I can't stand Protein shakes. Yuck.

Ooh fun! I bought 2 extra crock pots black friday when they were $8. Yes, $8. Helloooooo crock pot meal prep!

I appreciate the apology and I totally understand being emotional, hormonal and hangry post op. I sincerely hope you sent a similar message to @@Babbs . She didn't deserve your private message at all and the name calling is going to drive away those who can and want to assist you in droves.

I would like to call attention to this sentence right here and emphasize it. Regardless of how these people are paid, they are working for us. We are the patient, the customer. Make sure they are working to your satisfaction.

I call BS on that. She didn't have 6 people visit her profile yesterday so how did 6 people message her? The name calling tells the entire story here.

You're another new forum member who name calls and gets defensive and rude when given good advice by vets like @@Babbs and @@Bufflehead ?
I'm going to go ahead and block you now and I'd suggest you block me. Clearly you don't need the advice of people who've walked this road successfully, relying on smart choices NOT "luck".

Forum members like @@Babbs and @@Bufflehead are veterans that have given the majority of us on here very wise, informed and good intentioned advice. They will not hold your hand while you are doing something harmful to your body. You asked, they gave you a direct answer. If you don't like it, just move on. I am 10 months post op and have taken every grain of wisdom they have offered because they have had such amazing success.

@@Heather Leigh,
When you speak to the nutritionist, I would insist that he/she give you a written-out plan with food stages and defined Protein goals. You need these things if you want to be successful.
Good luck!

@@Heather Leigh
Well, you have a mouth. We know that because you've been sucking on Bugles and pretzels with it. Here's a concept: Why not ASK your surgeon what your plan is?

No luck is needed when one follows a sensible plan.

You're 3 weeks out. Are you supposed to be having anything crunchy? And you're not having "crunchy" if you're just sucking on them anyway? And where's the Protein?
And DON'T tell me I'm not being 'positive'. You just had major bariatric surgery and have a post surgery diet you're supposed to be following. Grow the hell up.

Yep! They were actually first to go, but I'm still large breasted. I was DDD. 3 months later, D. I've been a D most of my skinny adult life. I assume they'll stay here.
