The Facebook groups are HORRIBLE. Honestly, I don't feel like FB is the best place to go if you want to get true support in the WLS community. Though you can find lovely people in the groups, for the most part, FB is pretty much the gutter of the internet. I much prefer this forum and a couple of ladies I follow on IG.

I didn't have many fears prior to surgery except the normal surgery fear of something going wrong. Where I messed up was joining facebook groups after surgery and reading all the horror stories of people. It caused so many anxiety attacks my first week until I had to leave all the groups.

Just made this. It serves 8-10 2-3 oz servings. Has sat well on my stomach in the pureed phase.
1 lb. soft tofu
1 bag of cauliflower stir fry rice with edamame and carrots

Marinade
3 TBspoon soy
1 Tbspoon hoisin sauce
1-2 Tbspoon sriracha sauce
2 dashes of soybean oil
Tsp spring roll sweet and sour

Squeeze excess liquid from tofu by putting on a plate and laying 2-3 plates on top about 20 minutes. Dump excess liquid.
Put tofu and marinade in zip bag for overnight.

Put bag of cauliflower rice in microwave for 2 mins

Drain tofu of excess marinade. Stir fry on med hi with a little soybean oil. It will look like scrambled egg that goes in stir fry rice.
Add cauli rice and stir up to heat through.

Slotted spoon to serve.

No this is not restaurant stir fried rice. But it is also not carb heavy or calorie heavy.
1/3 cup is 68 cal, 2 fat grams, 7 protein grams, 6 gr carb.

I feel this on a personal level. I had lost 44 pounds since January 2021, surgery on 6/21/21, I’m only 10 days out, and HAVE been on the scale ( I know I shouldn’t), and have only lost 5 pounds. I felt like I probably would be a ‘slow loser’, since I had already cut my calorie intake for so long b4 surgery, but as long as I’m still losing, I’ll be happy with that ?

Hi everyone. I’m getting nervous and excited and alone. Is anyone in Sf or Bay Area that can be of support? I’m a few days away from sergery and feel as if I’m in this alone. Family are all just eating away like nothing. Husband is clueless. Not taking the day off. And grown kids are having a cook out…I have no healthy friends and I am brand new to all of this. Are there any local support groups? Any advice? 3 days and counting and I’m so irritated. ?still happy and blessed ? sorry I had to dump this out tks

no need to trick it - and don't start down any slippery slopes. Letting bad habits sneak back in is what derails a lot of people's weight loss efforts. Stalls are a normal part of weight loss. I think it's your body just stopping to recalibrate once in awhile. Just stick to your plan and they'll eventually break and you'll be on your way again.
