    Eating carbs (pasta, rice, or bread )

    I love chicken pizza, crust is ground chicken with cheese and Italian seasoning... bake (I drain and liquid) add cheese and peppers then cook till done. It’s really good and I am full on a slice usually. But I am pre surgical so not sure how I will be after.

    Kept it Quiet?

    Did I mention the emotional mess I became after I gained all that weight. My mental and physical well being are the priority

    Kept it Quiet?

    I decided to talk with my husband and children about it, my mother and my brother. Some online friends I have met through my business . I lost 30 in the first 2 months of my 6 month program. My mom, brother and husband are on board, but all asked me to reconsider and loose it naturally. I was a skinny person with crazy high metabolism until 30, received medical attention for anxiety and severe depression and poof, weight gain constantly since. I am 41 now. Always was active and was labeled medically induced morbidly obese. I have been to ‘diet doctors’ nutritionists, doctors, tried getting off the medication and gain plus all the time. I was literally doing one meal at dinner and ‘testing’ shakes and purée phase foods for the other meals. Because honestly I am terribly anxious for the liquid diet. Which I happened to start yesterday. I in total lost 50, but gained back 5-10 in a nervous dip and adding back to 3 meals. Trying the yogurt recipes (I gain with yogurt 😢) My doctors still want me to stick with the yogurt. I do know that carbs are my gains. I have my RNY scheduled May 10 and can’t wait. It’s not a secret, but I am not trying to tell anyone because it’s my body and my decision. Judgements are always made and sometimes (always) my family (aunts uncles cousins) can be completely rude. All in all, I am doing this for myself and my children, I want to live and annoy them for a long time and love the families they ave. So don’t worry about anyone else. Immediate support group small~ All I need 🥰
  10. It’s been almost 9 months for me, it’s a 6 month program. Hospital has been working on a selective surgical schedule until recently due to the Pandemic and have been behind. I started my liquid diet yesterday. My program technically Ended in February as eligible. Don’t bank on anything so you don’t get upset. I wish you the best of luck

    made protein pudding and having a bit with my soup as if it’s a meal for dinner… Red pepper tomato soup and chocolate/vanilla protein pudding tonight. I was told to try 3 days at a time then switch combinations. Thankfully I found this. Y’all are so positive and uplifting
