I have that reaction to tuna sometimes, I crave it, but when I actually get it..I'm done. I don't know what it is, but I throw it away after several bites. I have my good days and my bad days, lol.

This really bums me out, but I know you're right. That pain was unbearable and it made me throw up and it killed my lower back, I can't imagine feeling that much pain again. The Morphine knocked it out, but I still feel a bit of ache in that spot. It sucks, but I know you both are right. Should I consult my Bariatric Dr. (he has since retired) or should I go to a specialist?

They usually say, those who had a food addiction will transfer to something else. Thankfully, I'm not one of those people, I wouldn't know what I'd do. I agree w/ that person above, be very careful when it comes to drinking. I may have a martini once a month, if that. I've never been a huge fan of drinking and could really care less, if I never had a drink again. My Dr. said, don't deprive yourself, but be wise when choosing to drink. Don't feel as though you need to "conform", to what you think people want you to be.

I've come so far w/out having issues, I really dislike having them now

Someone just mentioned that to me, she said her nutritionist said those are okay. It's so interesting how different our Dr's are, lol.

I'm so proud of how far I've come, I don't tend to refer to myself or see myself as being fat. It's funny, one day before getting to that point, I said to my boyfriend "ugh, I'm so fat", and he reminded me of how far I've come and I'm no longer that girl. I need to embrace the woman I've become and the curves are delightful. LOL Technically, on paper, my BMI is still not where it should be....but, considering I started at almost 70-BMI and am now almost at 30, gurrrrl YAS!! I am not fat, hear me roar!

I was approved in a day, the only thing I had to do was the 6 month waiting period. Psych Eval Six Dietitian meetings, one nutritionist.

I'm almost two years out and I can only drink several ounces at a time, I'm sure you're just fine. We are all different, but the road we all travel has the same outcome; Success!

Well, it happened, I can no longer enjoy the Gallbladder still being in me after the surgery (Almost two years out). This weekend, I had a really bad pain, a pain that felt like I had indigestion, but it wasn't that. Seriously, I couldn't even fully stand up or even sit w/out feeling pain. I went to the ER and thankfully, there were no stones when they did the CT, but my Gallbladder was inflamed and they said I may have had an ulcer. Has anyone experienced this and if so, is this a one time thing or will this continue to randomly creep up?

Alright, I will admit, I'm one of those people who when cooking, pretends to be hosting a cooking show. Hey now, I'm the only child, that'll be my excuse. I had to find my own entertainment and it stuck w/ me years and years later. LOL

My recipe is as follows: Get in the car add a bit of sugar and spice to your smile and attitude Drive to Jason's Deli, ask for my regular w/ onions and cheese on the side and wait for the perfection to be handed over in a bag. Get back in the car Drive home. Last, and what is most important, take a wiff of the amazing smell. Then consume. Repeat , as needed.

I heard about that on my way to work, any little bit of savings I can get w/ my Prime, I'll take! lol I love Amazon Now and Fresh, knowing I can now get Whole Foods as a part of it, makes me smile even more.

My Dr. put me on a blood thinner for 30 days after the surgery, will you not have that? I'm getting a breast lift and reduction, I had planned to travel a week after (by plane to Atlanta), but I was told I'll need to wait for two. I'm sure, your window may be that. My guess would be, that's way too soon. Not alone, if you're flying, your body will not be your best friend. About 7 days out, I tried to do a bit of grocery shopping and failed miserably and actually, had to leave the store and go home.

Now chili, I can eat the heck out of that daily. That's always my go-to and I'm so excited, it's beyond beneficial for us. I don't make my own often, but I love the recipe Jason's Deli uses. So, delicious!

I've thought about going back to Plated.com, but with looking at their menu, I'd have to omit way too many things to make it something I can eat. I did what you did, bought packages of chicken and would meal prep on Sunday's, but I found I was wasting WAYYYY too much food. I'd get up in the morning and be so turned off by the fridge and I'd run to my lunch packets of tuna and other proteins. I'm trying to get better, but I've noticed, I do this in phases.

I've seen all of the episodes, I'm horrible, I binged on the show and watched all of the episodes in the same sitting. LMAO! Now, what I can't stand to watch is Man vs.Food, I watched that show and only say death. EW!

You know what, I was huge on eating leftovers in the past. If I go out to eat, obviously, I'll always bring something back home and will eat the rest for another meal/meals. I think my issue here is, I made pork and since the surgery, pork isn't really something I care for. Sadly, beef and pork don't interest me anymore.

@FluffyChix YES, that show, it's so wonderful! To be honest, I don't have an issue w/ being surrounded by food. I've gone to a bakery full of my favorites and w/ discipline, I've always maintained a great deal of restraint. I understand, however, it's not that easy for us all.

Happy Thursday, everyone I was just chatting w/ a coworker about cooking and you know what, I'm bored of it. Do some of you feel the same? The other night, I bought some chops and veggies, I ate half a chop w/ two spoonful of veggies and I was done. I planned to take the rest to work as several days worth of leftovers, but I'm just not interested. As usual, they will just sit there until it's time to be thrown away. I simply, have no interest in leftovers. The intent is there, but the want dies after the first serving for dinner.

To be honest, I don't have any issues when it comes to cooking shows, but being new to the "Losers Bench" , I can understand your need to want to stay away. @Laggy - I love that show so much, you have no idea. I binged on that show when they brought it to Netflix, have you checked out The Chef's Table?! MY GOODNESSSSSSSSS <3

You'll rock it!!!

Have they checked your prolactin levels? I was zapped and when visiting my GYN and after explaining to her what was going on, she tested my prolactin levels and come to find out, I had a pituitary adenoma (later diagnosed by my neuro-surgeon). Once I was on meds and sure as heck after my Sleeve, I'm up and runnin' again.

Oh yes, I love them very much. I eat them as a snack and even though its such a small amount, they still hit the spot for me. Now, when I eat them, I break them up a bit due to the edges cutting the sides of my mouth. (If that makes sense)

Yes, the whole package is only .35 ounces. There are 12 packs, in an order.

10g, is one package. I tried other flavors, but the Teriyaki was my winner. When I eat them at work, people give me such an odd look. Heck, they don't know what they're missing!!!
