Yay!!!! Woot!!!! That's wonderful!!!! Congrats girlie!!!!

Dude!!!! I heart you! You look fabulous. Congrats!!! Love the shades!!

Strong like a bull indeed! And I smell like curry still, LOL. But truthfully, this recipe is fantastic! Makes 6 cups/servings: 180 calories, 23 carbs, 9 fiber, 7 fat, 8 protein, 3 sugar. I did use S&B japanese curry (as recommended) and I used full fat coconut cream. I was carb-lean the rest of the day and made all of my targets! Try it! https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/curried-lentil-tomato-and-coconut-soup

I agree, but not so much last night when I was tired and hungry and had to make the damn stuff first!

Congrats! That's just FABULOUS!!! You rock!

Fabulous! I had hoped to hit 50# this weekend, but I'm at 49.2. Oh well, celebration will have to wait!

Congrats! That's totally outstanding and great inspiration!!! WTG!!!

great update. maintenance is the name of the game. you are winning - CONGRATS - kathy

Prior to surgery, mine was in the high 5s/low 6s, but they still kept me on Janumet XR. The first A1C I had done after surgery (about two months out), it had dropped to 5.2, so they took me off the Janumet. You'll get there!

I'm so sorry you got this news, but 6.4 is now in the pre-diabetic range! And since it's a 3month average, it probably still has glycated hemoglobin working through your system from the pre-op highs...you know? What was it going into surgery?
Hang tough! Sadly, surgery isn't the magic diabetes bullet we all pray for. It can and will return if you we don't change our diets and food relationships and keep the carbs limited and very selective. Even when we eat very tiny amounts.
It's definitely a tough pill to swallow!! ((hugs))
Glad you're feeling better and feel like getting up and walking!!! Wooottttt!!!!
(Easy way out...LMFAO! Indeed.)

Yikes!! So what now -- back to liquids, etc?

Hahahaha! I had that earlier this week! Serves to remind that we are indeed, full of sh*t.
Congrats!

Yay!!! So happy for you!

Yay!!! That's incredible on so many levels! Yay you! (You wouldn't have been able to do it if you didn't have the surgery and re-birth!"
Maybe you should look at practicing your nutrition stuff from home?

Haven't tried the taco ones yet, but the lasagna ones are AMAZING. Like, as good as or better than regular lasagna.

I usually stick to fish, chicken, cottage cheese, eggs, turkey rollups, etc. Beans are iffy for me still.

Nope. Might have been better if I did, though! It caught up with me a couple of hours after I ate, not right away, and I have no idea why.

Awwww man!! ((hugs)) I'm sorry bout this! Did ya hurl?

Welcome back! Uggh finances. Don't speak of them!
NM the newbies, give us your deets girlie. Don't forget before/afters too. You know how we sparkleheart pics!!
And btw? Post often!!

Good report. Glad you were able to bypass Chickafila fried nuggets! I've never had either. So the grilled used to be good huh? Nice that you were able to just "not eat" while others were! Congrats!!!
(sorry for goobering up your update and making it about me! mybad. )

Hang in there girlie. I swear it WILL pass. But just a thought...maybe dump the green smoothies until it does. The added carbs from the fruit could be contributing.
I'm noticing I'm hungry and craving again. So mine are getting dumped as well. And I'm only using 1oz of berries per smoothie. I'm going back to basics. (Oh an my weight has also stalled.)

I’m sorry to hear of your stalling. I hope you see progress soon. If you can eat more maybe try increasing intake? I’ve been pretty consistent on 700-900 calories a day. You can increase calories and not volume by just eating say full fat cheese instead of low fat cheese, that kind of thing. Idk. It works for some people. I know how disheartening it is to be stuck....we all just want to get to our goal weights!

Yeah, good idea! Good luck on your stall, too, they suck. I mean, I'm eating 500-600 calories a day! I missed a meal yesterday because we were out running errands. I tried to have a couple of Chick Fil A grilled nuggets but they were terrible (I used to love 'em!), so I just didn't eat, and I was just fine. It really surprised me.
