I made homemade 11 bean soup and added lentils and barley. A little goes a long way so I didn’t make too much. There is a great product called Better Than Bouillon which is located in the soup isle at your store. Adds great flavor. I blended it smooth and added a dash of vinegar to prevent gas issues. Freezes well too. I ate this soup daily for two weeks. Added powdered egg white for even more protein. Homemade is yummy!

Wellbutrin made my anxiety worse. We are all different! The eating changes we have made in our lives are changing every aspect of who we are and what we do. Everything from my looks to feelings to activities to the clothes I wear and the way I walk has changed. Give yourself a break. Get help and know you are not alone on this wild and crazy journey!!!

4 weeks post surgery and I watch the show more now then before surgery. Having gone through it, it is nice too see others perspectives but frankly I am tired of it always being the mom as the reason they over ate.

I too fell into the trap of eating poorly due to two kids with mental health issues. Know you are not alone. There are more of you out there then you know. Don’t feel guilty about anything. As moms we try our best. I agree that having simple healthy no thinking foods around might help you. My go to as a busy mom is greek yogurt. Grab and go and eat on the run. Hugs!!!!

3 days post op. Before and after surgery my sense of smell is amazing. Husband came to bed after eating chocolate. Smelled him all night long. Divorce lawyer is now in speed dial.

In my final class just before surgery a man said he could control his eating. Had no issues but had a case of gout and that’s why he was getting the sleeve. Another women said she couldn’t give up gum or Diet Coke. After the meeting she stands and can barely walk. Yes. I was judgy with them both.

My husband eventually came around. As a skinny man with a high metabolism he didn’t understand. 3 weeks post op he is loving the results and ahhh, ummm ‘benefits’ of a slimmer spouse.
We do this for ourselves. Love yourself and to heck with others.

Huge NSV’s yesterday. Went to Disneyland two week two days post op. I fit and could easily get off and on rides I haven’t even attempted for years! Weird though...the two roller coasters I went on usually tickle my tummy. Not this time. I guess there is less to tickle?!?!

I have told people. I would be concerned if a friend suddenly started losing a lot of weight so I would rather let them know I am alright. Everyone needs to do what is comfortable for them.

I didn’t realize how much eating a meal was an activity. Lunch with a friend. Dinner out with the husband. Brunch with family. Even grocery shopping and cooking dinner. I still cook but it is different now. It’s just another chore.

I am doing best drinking alkaline water. Room temp.

My new stomach is three days old. I spent one night in the hospital and did great. Walked and walked a lot. Warm water with lemon has really soothed my tummy. Bariatric nurse said it is really good for our new tummies.
