These sound GREAT! Thanks FluffyChix especially the the scrambled eggs! ..did I read that right, refried pumpkin w/ stewed chicken in gravy???? I guess I wound be willing to try it.

Oooooew i Can't wait to Chew, LOL

Stage 3 starts tomorrow. It feels like my Birt-day. Even cottage cheese thoughts making me drool. Please share favorites here before I go to the store.THANKS

@Hungryman, do you use an app for tracking? If so, what app as I need one. I start my first *bite* of *food* Tuesday!!! ::happy dance::

Thank you, sideeye. Everything you say here is EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. People shouldn't assume I am so stupid and treat me as such. Maybe there are stupid people.. I do not think my post warranted the reactions/lectures. It was just meant to be light hearted and fun. The last thing I need or anyone else for that matter is 50 lectures from the "veterans" and others jumping on the bandwagon all about how my head is not in the game here. It is a hard thing to swallow when I have literally not had ONE BITE of food for 6 WEEKS. Yes, 6 WEEKS. My pre-op was 2 weeks LIQUIDS. No din din like most, 3 meals liquids. Now, I am still on LIQUIDS. I have been FAITHFUL to it. My post was truly innocent and I thank YOU for seeing that. I am an underdog. I ticked off one veteran and she brought her friends back. I see through all that stupid BS. You are 100% CORRECT about why people leave, it SUCKS to be the underdog. A very small, limited amount of chocolate may the thing that keeps me sane, it may not be. It may be the tool that helps me NOT go off the deep end, it might not be. People should really refrain from spanking others. They do not understand the thoughts/intents of others and just jump to their own conclusions. Who has time for it? I have been trying to delete my account and I see that I cannot even if I wanted to. I do not need people to lecture me here. I know why I am here. I have had people mistreat me most of my life, and I assumed this would place might be a little different. And I do not have a friend here but maybe you. So, thank you for speaking some truth here.

Still some people are still pretty blatantly snarky and rude, and it of course they have their friends. They do not help anyone. I do not have a friend here. Thanks for the advice.

I haven't tried Skechers yet. Did you use them before you lost so much weight? I love/hate heels...look forward to being able to wear them again, though, ironically! ::for an hour,..or much less lol

I haven't tried inserts...wondering if I need them. thanks for your reply.:)

Thank you so much for this post! I will watch and then go out this weekend, lol. Can't wait to get me some new hooves. :-)

I agree 2shea I loved his post and wished there had been a "love" button. I loved that he was nice, too but what he said I had never heard before and will apply that wisdom.

My feet hurt! I've been walking faithfully but I need new shoes. I just bought Thorlo socks which are the best I have found so far for my poor feet but just curious what other socks are out there that are superb? I have men's shoes as I think they are best for my feet, but need new ones, seriously wanting to know what ya'all are/were wearing.

Yes it is! Ya pretty much sure I didn't get this to treat everyday like my birthday or come even within a thousand miles close to it and pretty sure a sugar free RP cup would not give me that "its my birfday" feeling even if taken everyday. And pretty sure I won't screw this up like some of you might think because I shared these thoughts, which are not even actions yet as I am following my post op phase of the diet faithfully, and if people really want to help other people here, they will try hard not patronize any one of us for sharing our thoughts. not a single one. Thanks!

I saw that after I posted. I wish I would have never ever started this thread. 😕 I really feel misunderstood by a few. Thanks for sharing.

Maaaybee we shouldn't assume that this thread is about anything more than "Do you have a treat, what is it, and how often." I feel like some people really want to make it more than that and be incredibly self righteous. It would be really nice for all of us here to stop being that way. Stop judging; people do not need to be crucified for having a different way, even if you do not agree, and maybe, just maaybee, a very small amout of chocolate is what helps certain people not go off in the deep end. Who knows? I do not claim to know what works for you, or anybody else, but thanks for your thoughts!

I do not plan on keeping the regular ones in the house. I def CANNOT overeat more than 1 of the sugar free RP cups per day. Its good to know your thoughts and I like your ideas of a treat, but I'm not a coffee drinker and the Premier shakes I'm grossed out with. I have noticed that I really am not craving it, and I do not believe that if I decide to have 1 sugar free RP cup/day, that will cause my demise. I understand your concern about the reg. ones, but I know even if I had them in the house I no longer want to eat the whole bag, which that part of this I am excited about. but I won't keep em just in case, lol thanks for the advice
