Hi Jeffrey, reading about you made me feel much more positive. I am on my preop diet and I think it does make you dread about not being able to enjoy food again. You sound so positive and excited about good wholesome and healthy food that it reminded me not to feel down as I love all that food also and avoiding fish and chips etc shouldn't be a big deal.
It was good to hear about your diabetes as I had gestational twice and was having 3 injections a day, hypo's + worrying about eating all the time etc.
i also have hip dysplagia so I am hoping losing weight takes a lot of my pain away again and I'm able to be more active with my kids.
anyway seeing your lovely photo has made me want to get out in the fresh air and sunshine with kids(I'm in Australia so it's morning here🙂) thanks for the motivation and enthusiasm.

Thanks ya'll I did start to ride my bike... and was I sore the next day. I just needed a kick in the butt. I am just going to have to start excercising whether I like it or not.

jalapeno are just far too hot for me...I use a Louisiana hot sauce or a few chili flakes for a little kick in my food.
try to get into the green tea it's great (I think) I used to drink coffee now just the tea.

I thought so ...there couldn't be more than one kind of chia seeds in the world.
Great now I'm a chia pet...LOL! LOL! somebody water me please !

Thanks for the help...I'm on a sunflower seed kick right now..shelling them while I eat makes me eat less (I think). Also eating Chia seeds on salads and in smoothies. Isn't Chia seeds the same seeds they use on those Chia pet toys...LOL ? I also found some "dill" flavoured (Canadian spelling) peanuts. Yummy!!

Had some popcorn again...oh boy did not go down well...as a matter of fact it came back up. Damn that dumping. I think I ate it too fast.

I'm 7 wks (May 1st was my surgery)( How far out are you... is that what it means) ... if that's what you mean. It sounds like your asking me if I'm pregnant...LOL LOL LOL !!!

Had my first small bag of 100 cal popcorn last night... went down good. yippy !!

thanks for the info LisaKay. I think there are mini 100 cal micro bags out there ?

Hey browngirl 89
Berry78 says it has an allure for people just after liquids for weeks... although you're a bit farther along than me 1mnth) But I say life is short and we (bariatric people) are brave and courageous people so we deserve a little reward for our struggles. SO EAT SUSHI !! (occasional splurge)

You're right...my craving has been taken care of and I don't need sushi again (for now )
It will be kept as a occasional splurge like you said.
Thanks Berry78
