Grapefruit

Forgot my protein shake on my road trip. ??‍♀️ I hate eating stuff I shouldn’t when I don’t get to pick a “yummy” bad option! Lol I ate around the dressing.

Hey guys! Dinner tonight, 3oz filet mignon and 1/3 cup of peas. TMI but, before this surgery, I couldn’t eat much steak. I would consider myself lucky if I went to the bathroom once a week. 10 days would be unbearable. After surgery this all changed, so I’m able to enjoy a steak now and then. I’m much better at #2 now, thanks for asking. ? PS. I had my 2 month post op check up and lost 30% of weight... that’s above average at 20%. Woohoo! Probably all that poop-weight. Ok I’m done. Lol

Hey everyone! I made a chicken breast with roasted tomatoes, half slice of low fat American cheese, and roasted spinach. (That’s a 1/3 cup of spinach) Before & after:

I crossed the threshold on Thanksgiving... Severely Obese to Obese! ? Keep pushing everyone!

Hello! I’m an outgoing 35 year old, single mom of two boys. I work in professional football and have adopted an endless amount of little brothers. I love being tall, reading books, and photography.

I tried online... hated it. I’ll give Meetups a shot! Thanks.

Hey everyone!! I am over a month out. I get bored on the treadmill/elliptical but i tell myself that they make me thirsty. ??‍♀️ My new favorite hobby is trying new foods. I haven’t had any issues yet but every day, I try a couple new things. How is everyone feeling with Thanksgiving coming?

GreenTealael, you give me hope! Lol I’m 35, mom of two and single. Dating doesn’t seem daunting (besides the food part) but I feel like I don’t meet anyone! Where are you meeting folks? I hope things are going well with the relationship!

Yes Butterfly, Chrissy gave great advice. My drink of choice is milk of magnesia but Miralax works too. When I take it, I still take Colace because the stool softener is needed.

Thanks @llhill! I need to start doing that... I was always a healthy eater and cook for my kids often, but I was nervous about cooking for myself again. I love spicy and I feel like a newborn feeding myself... and what if my belly revolts!? I should follow your lead with shows. I have gone back and forth about an air fryer... they might make me purchase!

@yvonne47 A couple weeks! You can do it!

I had my surgery 10/17 and just made my first meal. I’m happy my stomach was pleased. ? Baked Tilapia with lime juice. I risked it with some Cajun spices- but not too spicy! (This is enough for three meals. I ate 1/3)

@Sara_MO I’m glad you got the information you needed. I vomited blood twice after the operation and was told the same thing. A patch behind the ear helped my nausea and I felt better the next day. Thinking of you, things will get better!

I just had my “6 days post op” check up! 16lbs down; no issues. I have no regrets about this surgery! ? I came by to say, Pre-oppers, you can do this!!
