Jealousy is an evil thing! I say let the haters hate, and move on.

Chickpea "Pasta"
Funny you say that about hubby. I bought a cauliflower crust pizza at Trader Joes. I didn't tell hubby, he is a veggie phobia. LOL He never knew the difference. I told him when we were done eating, and he said he couldn't tell it wasn't regular crust.

Chickpea "Pasta"
It tastes better than wheat pasta. At least I think so.

Hair loss
I was freaked out about the loss also. I started losing around 3-6 months. Now I am almost 7 months, and I am not losing hardly any, and it looks like it is starting to grow back a little bit. I know people who never grew back., but they were older. That could have something to do with your mom, and grandma.

Hypothyroidism and gastric bypass surgery
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, which I think is the same thing as hypothyroid, years before my surgery. I literally gained over 60 lbs. in about a year and a half because of it. I just kept gaining weight. I wasn't eating more, or worse. The docs put me on levothyroxine, and it wasn't helping. I started with 125mcg, then up to 150mcg, and now after the surgery I am down to 137mcg. I see the doc soon, and have to do labs, so we will see what happens. Also, before the surgery the doc found nodules, after doing a biopsy, and now after the surgery, they have disappeared?

OOTD
All I can say is that everyone looks amazing! Keep up the good work. I love to see the pics, it gives me motivation to dress a little bit better. Since I am home all day, all I wear is sweats. With the nicer weather coming, I do want to wear better clothes. Plus the fact that I am 6 pant sizes, and 5 shirt sizes smaller than I was before the WLS!!

Plant Based Meats- Are you eating any?
Reading all of these posts, I may have to give it a try. I am very leery about eating plant based meats for some reason. Is it more protein than regular meat? Why do you eat it? Are you vegan, vegetarian, etc.?

Covid Vaccine
So to follow up on this post. I had the 1st shot, and the only side effect was that my arm hurt like heck the next day. The day after I was fine. I never got sick or anything. Now I go for my 2nd shot at the end of this month. I hope nothing happens. I hear that the 2nd one can be worse?

Tummy Tuck...coming soon to a tummy near you!
Is it much higher in price? Is the price, what you thought it would be for all these quotes? I have no idea how much it will cost. Is there anyway you could let me know a ballpark figure? Just want to see if it will be doable, since insurance will not cover it. Thanks

I hate food....
It will get much better in time.

Rip Off!!!!
Thank you for letting me know this. I usually don't shop at Whole Foods, so I wouldn't have known about this option.

cant stomach dairy foods
This def is me. I couldn't drink regular milk before the surgery. Now I can't even tolerate almond milk for some reason? Sometimes I can eat dairy and other times not. I noticed that if I only eat it like once a week, I am ok. Weird.

Rip Off!!!!
I won't buy it again....lesson learned. I actually bought the crust for my hubby, not for me. I will look into some recipes for the dough. Thanks

Rip Off!!!!
My order was delivered. I open up the box, to see only one pizza crust. Where are the others? I look at the invoice, and this is how it reads: Thin Slim Foods Zero Carb Protein Pizza Crust-Single Pack (4 Servings). When I ordered it, I thought I was getting 4 crusts. It costs $8.95, for 1 crust? So I contacted customer service to let them know that I thought the ad was misleading. She were NOT helpful at all. She kept posting the nutrition label, like 3 times. I was like, OK so I did not read the nutrition label when purchasing. I didn't know that I had to do that? Then she really made me mad, bringing up the fact that they credited me for something I returned that I did not like. I told her that has NOTHING to do with THIS issue. She tells me that they did it out of courtesy. Ok so move on. That was that, and this is this! I ask if I can return it, because paying almost $9 for one crust seems excessive. I ask her to send me a return label. She tells me that I can return it if I would like, but that they do not issue return labels. So now to return it, its going to cost me more money!! I am so pissed off right now!!

Almond Milk
Does anyone else drink almond milk? I started drinking it because of lactose intolerance. At first I bought the lactaid milk, but there is something in it that was still not agreeing with me? Now, I can't seem to tolerate the almond milk?

Deleting pics?
Does anyone know how to delete the before, and after pics from your profile? I can't figure it out.

Loss of Son
I didn't lose a son to suicide, I lost my dad. I witnessed his suicide when I was only 12 yrs. old. It is now 40 yrs. later, and it seems like just yesterday. I understand the pain of losing someone, believe me. I was daddy's little girl. I ended up with PTSD because of this, and will be on meds for the rest of my life. I am very sorry to hear about your son.

Calorie intake vs. calorie expenditure
Thank you for saying this. I raked up the yard the other day. The next day I couldn't even move. I know that I overdo things now because of my energy level. I have to be more careful from now on. I didn't like how I felt the following day.

Stall frustration
This happens to everyone. It is very frustrating. I am in a stall right now, and have had many along the way. Just stick to the plan, and before you know it, you will get on the scale, and see the progress happening once again.
