Had surgery a little over 3months ago so I can eat whatever, but again want it to be healthy. Its a camp retreat so I'm hoping to get some exercise in during down time as well Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

So I love these little things. I went to get in my car this morning for work, after my fiance drove last night. The seat a mile away it seemed. Used to it was all the way back regardless who drove. My surgery left an incision in my belly button, I could not even see. It now sits above my belly button. That's just funny. You don't realize under garments get bigger as clothes do til you raise your arms and opps...you ladies know what I'm talking about. You find your pants aren't the only thing sliding down. My knee high boots the stretchy back kind, no longer stretch but slide down too. Shoes I've lost a size and a half. My coat could easily fit me and a twin. I have ribs and a collar bone. I can run on the treadmill, not long, but hey I'm running. I no longer crave, soda, even diet. I bought one, yes but almost 2 weeks ago, never even opened it. Bought 14 skinny jeans yesterday. We are talking middle school people. That's how long it's been since this always fat girl has seen a 14 that fit more than one leg. Skinny, don't even get me started on skinny, never had anything labeled skinny in my size that fit. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I had the same ?. I'm engaged but he hasn't seen me that way. Honestly not worried about him. He loves me. I am very self conscious though. We are getting married in February and my anxiety grows. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I use mine all of the time. I don't freeze zucchini or any squash, as I find it is too watery when you thaw it. I also think it changes the flavor slightly. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Thanks for the input Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

As it says, not there yet. I've lost 76lbs since January. I'm at 215lbs and wear a 16w. I am absolutely freezing. The only way I can get warm is hot baths. Wearing thermals under clothes and fuzzy socks daily. sleeping with an electric throw or heating pad. Sigh. Its 49° here and I chatter my teeth. How do skinny people handle it?

3° oh my I'm shivering at 40s Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I feel the same way about the coat I'll just wait to get another Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I'm kinda accident prone, my fiance washed it. I'm not even allowed. I was just thinking if I could freeze some things it could help the healthy not eating out so much. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I do like it better than sweating but happily awaiting summer. Its supposed to snow here this weekend. Sigh Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

It's hard to even sweat working out but at least I get warm doing it. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I hardly ever wore makeup before for that reason. Now all the time Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Mainly my fiance. I'm worried he's finding what I loose weight wise. We eat out a lot... With 2 full time jobs, he's in law enforcement I in healthcare, karate he teaches and I attend, church activities 5 days a week, he's a pt pastoral student, I'm planning our wedding next month and going to the gym 3x a week, plus parenting a 10yr old home schooled with autism, we are always going. When I do cook, I make healthy dishes and can cook smaller portions, leaving less leftovers, but when we go out there is so much left over. I separate my food as soon as it arrives. He says it will be lunch tomorrow but normally not the case. He Snacks on it later. I worry about him. I don't know what to do. I don't know if it is a problem or if it seems like a lot since I eat so little now. I don't know how to approach the situation. We used to go to the gym together, but our local Golds closed and he refuses to go to planet fitness I attend now. Any advice? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I most certainly do thanks you're right Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Glad you enjoyed it Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

That was my thoughts as far as ordering healthy and I normally order lunch portions or just app. I did cook tonight and that helps when we are home long enough. I got a veggetti for Christmas, so it was chicken, zucchini, yellow squash, light tomato sauce, and low fat cheese. He really liked it too. I don't want to control him or be food police, which is why I haven't said anything to him, but I don't want to be an enabler either. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

And your fiance. Any suggestions. I love him, but worried he's finding what I loose. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Sometimes it depends if it has sugar alcohol too. That has always bothered my tummy even before surgery Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Pure Protein does me that way it seems even if its low in sugar but high carbs I dump. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
