    Vegetarians(or Vegans!)

    If you don't have a problem with soy...tofu, very high protein replacement that is versatile, my favorite is super firm. Otherwise hemp and pea powders for shakes. I'm no longer a strict vegetarian, I'm a flexitarian these days because it became too rigourous trying to stay in weightloss mode while eating (higher carb) replacements so I decided to continue my usual ovo lacto pescaterian diet and allow poultry when the occasion called for it (no other available foods) Good Luck 💜

    The Maintenance Thread

    Kids will tell you the unfiltered truth, but thats not always desirable. My eldest daughter (middle child) called me out , in her own way, on my my eating patterns. She said all you do is drink hot stuff and barely eat anymore. My oldest (son) and youngest (daughter) said I'm too thin and probably need to eat a sandwich, and now I'm a nosnackaterian lol My weight has been in a stable range for a while but sometimes i look visibly thinner if i lay off the carbs I obviously eat well (food before and after thread) and snacks sometimes (protein candy bars) but they probably just miss what they are familiar because change is tricky for everyone to get comfortable with Honestly I wonder of they only miss the old version of me that allowed them to buy family size bags of whatever instead of single servings and where I drove them everywhere instead of making them walk They are tired of my family lifestyle/diet changes 😂

    Oh the places you'll go!

    Camping/hiking the ADKs, swimming in a lagoon of Dinoflagelletes in Jamaica with my kids, walking the ruins of Pompeii...

    Oh the places you'll go!

    I actually managed to do all the things I wanted while still obese because i truly believe life is far too short and tomorrow is not guaranteed. I plan reruns of my favorites and a few more but as I suspect I will be cold half the time so I'm skipping all cold weather climates. 💜 Have fun everyone 💜

    4th of July food?

    Hi there!!! You may want to take a dish along to the bbq for everyone to share. Chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. are safe bets that everyone loves. By sharing your own on plan foods (and eating that first) you may be less tempted to rush past your current food stage. There are plenty of temptations at bbqs and its easy to forget rules when your having fun. Pinterest has a wealth of info/recipes on what you might want. Run a search and check it out !
  13. 🙏Totally using this & thanks for the share plus high quality work! 🙏

    Gained weight, oh no!!!

    Perhaps it may help to Gift away the bday food (someone may wamt it), set a meal schedule/plan & stick to it until vacay, have fun on your cruise and get back to business when you return. Good luck ❤

    Denied and Grieving

    Go through the appeals process and see how it turns out. But what did you actually pay for? Can you get a refund?

  19. Hi! Most likely it will come down to what the Surgeon/You both agree is best, what is physically possible and best for your particular situation. Take their advice very seriously but advocate for yourself and seek info out too. Eventually i plan to self pay for any plastics so... Joking joking joking, i lack the musculature for all of that...
  20. GreenTealael

    Uncertain what surgery to get.

    The choice is ultimately yours But IMHO My suggestion is if you already have Reflux choose the better bet at fixing it, the Bypass. If it gets worse with VSG you will need to control it with meds indefinitely or revise. And by no means (would i in your shoes knowing what i know) bank on the no hunger thing... You may eventually feel hunger again, some surgeons suggest its inevitable but to what extent varies. ❤ Good Luck ❤

    Food Before and After Photos

    i also tap on it to listen for reverb or feel the vibration to make sure it wasn't force ripened or really old (mushy inside) other than that i look for the darkest color line. i have no clue if that will determine flavor though.

    Food Before and After Photos

    I am curious about what they will say or how long it will take to get approval results. i have everything laid out but it will all bank on that in the end.
