      The chicken was delicious by all standards, made with Olive and macadamia oil. I just want nuts 😥

      The yogurt was amazing Abe, give it a try! It may just surprise you

  2. I wonder if I'll be dissatisfied when I get to goal?

    1. ChaosUnlimited

      This is a thought provoking question. It makes me think back to my younger, thinner days when even then I was never happy with the way my body looked - if only I knew that it was all down hill from there! And now that I have worked from being morbidly obese to reaching my goal, I am wondering if I should lose more because maybe a size 6 will be better than a size 8. I think many of us, especially women, need to explore our body image issues a little deeper. What does it take to feel satisfied with being you? Does the weight loss make us happy, or do we need to focus on our inner happiness and just being happy with who we are? Difficult questions I think.

      I am sure all my lumps and bumps will not look anything like what my mind pictures! My mind just lies all the time to me anyway...lol

      BUT I am already pretty happy with being able to FEEL lighter on my feet, fit into smaller clothes, etc. I think I will be satisfied, and especially after some 'nip/tuck', more like 'slash/extract/add/stretch/stitch' lol but anyway even that will not make all the internal parts 18 again, so any improvement will be just fine.

      I've recently been thinking the same thing. I'm 30 lbs away from goal, so it is feeling more real. Will I be happy at 140? Will that be too high or too low? Where are these additional 30 lbs come from? I want to keep my butt, but lose my tummy, but what if the opposite happens?

  3. I'm currently reading Elevation by Stephen King. Such a quirky little tale which for the WLS community is oddly apropos

  4. Im absolutely terrified to buy underwear these days 😢, I realized I don't know my real size in anything anymore.

      I know the feeling. I did some major online shopping with all the sales around black friday. In tops I wear anywhere between a S-L. In pants from 6-10. But I must own the world's most elastic panties, because -100+ lbs, I still wear the same undies! :lol:

      Absolutely.

      I think it's a good example for the pendulum coming to the middle after having swayed into the opposite direction first (obese - skinny).

      I see so many people on here giving the impression of being down right obsessed.

  6. Just saw a YouTube vid about Beyonce's health routine to prep for Coachella: She was 175 lbs. I now know where I need to stay under... the Beyonce weight limit 😂

  7. Major NSV 

    Went to the movies with my children and refilled the popcorn bucket for them multi times and didn't touch a drop!

    I stuck with coffee

      Ran across this on Instagram. It's a WLS surgery related meetup. Website on the photo/flyer. Apparently it's pretty big, they just did one in Orlando. Not sure if you knew about it.

      Thanks! I didn't know about that, likely because I'm not a WLS page in the gram. I used to follow for a while but i got bored by it 😂

  20. Protein bars are evil.  I've been on the go so much that it's been my go to meals lately so when I finally sit down with dense proteins and vegetables tonight (eggs beans cottage cheese kale bowl)  my restriction is crazy tight because I forgot about it. Lol no more slider bars for me 

    1. Orchids&Dragons

      Orchids&Dragons

      Is that how it works? I eat protein bars most mornings. One of the few solid foods I can eat. Are you saying they're really sliders?

    2. GreenTealael

      GreenTealael

      For me they appear to be, I wasn't big on them until recently so that may be a factor, but Im counting them amoung my high calories low restriction food groups and I want to monitor how often I eat these items.

    3. Orchids&Dragons

      Orchids&Dragons

      Oh, ok. I only eat one a day and always count the calories. I'm really not a breakfast person, so they let me hit the ground running.
