Oh no. So sorry to hear that!! Is there any way to reverse the surgery? Hope you get to feeling better. 🙏🏻

Thanks so much😊

@kristieshannon That looks soooo good!!!!! I’m not a creative cook but I can appreciate it when I see it. My hub loves inventing recipes too. He is a really great cook Anyways yours looks sooo delicious!!

Hey there. Try and focus on the prize when you are feeling like you want to go to the old places to eat that you went to before. A lot of times it’s only head hunger. Head hunger is real and it takes mental work to figure out how to recognize when it’s that or actual hunger. Distract yourself with a bike ride, a walk, drink some water etc If I were you, I’d stay away from all those tempting places until you become confident in your ability to resist. You CAN do this. Hang in there. This website is amazing so I’m glad you posted here. There are so many people on here that may have better advice than mine. I hope I was able to help a little.

Hey!! Texan? I’m in Texas as well! I was self pay too but I can’t remember what my BMI was. Had it done here in the states though. Excited for you. It’s been a life changer for sure!! I Lost 100 and am almost 4 years out(sleever)

Salmon is my all time fav fish to cook/eat. Looks really good! I’ve never had cauliflower Mac and cheese but that looks good! May have to see if my hub will make some. My hub loves to cook and is really creative in the kitchen w meals. I hate cooking but do it bc I have to. My hub is about to go bk to the office instead of working from home so I’ll be back on kitchen duty Boy did I get spoiled w that!😩 Send the recipe for the Mac and cheese if you can! 😊

@sophie7713 Looks delicious!!!!

I second this! Her salads always look amazing!!

@arabesque That is well said!😊 As you said, A lot of trial and error figuring out what works for your body and the changes that have to be made mentally too. “Do I just want that last bite or am I satisfied “ Even now for me sometimes I have to remind myself of that very thing.

Well said

Hey Dave!! I’m in H town as well!! Your soup looks awesome!!

Delicious Salad for dinner…not as pretty as @ms.sss but equally as good!!

This is what I had today for lunch!! Crawfish (I’m a Texas girl!)

Oh yea baby!! I love me some salad!! I can eat it for all three meals. Love it.

Not sure i qualify as a veteran. I’ll be 4 years out in July. Lost 100 and have maintained that weight loss. Best decision I ever made. Only regret was that I didn’t do this sooner. 😊

Oh no. Hope they figure this out for you soon and get you well and back home again!

Me too!! Love salads!! All of those dishes look amazing!

I’m a brooks fan through and through. I put arch supports under the sole. Love them. They are expensive but think about how much time you spend on your feet. It affects a lot. Your back, your gait, hip etc. i love them. Good quality too Like the others say it’s preference to each individual but that’s my two cents!😎

Exciting!!

Nope…time and walking it off is what helped me. Meanwhile I slept propped up w a pillow behind my back. Think it was just a couple days at most. Glad your recover is pretty smooth!! Congrats!

Wow! That’s exciting!! Can’t wait to see pics!!

My not being able to eat ice cream is a good thing. I don’t even miss it anymore. Cheese I love and yogurt but don’t eat either bc they make me bloated. Plus they mainly cheese is pretty fattening so I’m good w not having it anymore But good to know there are other versions of them. I knew this about yogurt but not about cheeses though. I pretty much eat a lot of the same things over and over. I love love salads so that’s my go to for lunch every day.

Yea looked super cute!! Breakfast looks good. Since my sleeve I can’t eat eggs anymore. Boo Makes me sick to my stomach, same w any milk products Ex yogurt, ice cream which is good. I never eat those. Haven’t had ice cream in almost 4 years.

Omg I love those!! Cute! Did you make these?

Never had lamb either. I’m thinking gamey, is it? Kangaroo?!!! Goat?!! Man these are so far outside my comfort zone in food land I’m not as adventurous as @Arabesque and @greentealael I will eat tuna but grilled tuna
