So I was so worried about going to the racetrack and to an irish festival today, but I did really good!! I planned ahead and drank a shake on the drive there so I wouldn't be starving-good idea. NExt, it was BYOB so I opted out and just had Water throughout the day. I had a little coleslaw because it didn't have hardly any mayo-but it got stuck-but went down after a minute-but that was scary! Then I had 1 spoonful of chile (minus the dog) and just a tasting of some other stuff (small taste) and I order a cheeseburger from the grill (minus the roll) and ate half of it. A really good day!! I drank lots of water throughoutthe day. I walked throughout the day as well. I am home eating egg drop Soup. That wasn't so bad afterall!!

As I reflect what I could have done differently I would say I would have brought different drinks than water (it got old after a while). I would have packed some veggies to munch on while they were dipping chips. I have maybe 5 chips and sat away from them.

Much better then I though I would do-I don't feel like I cheated that much at all.

Good for you.. doesn't sound like you did too bad at all. Me, i've been out of control. I'm supposed to be on mushies till Thurs and move to solids. But i graduated myself to solids and have just been chewing till things were basically liquid. I'm going to have to bring myself back to reality and do this right. I'm going to use you as my inspiration. lol Keep up the good work.

Good for you Linda. Sounds like you had a nice day and didn't get yourself in any trouble. Proud of you. See it can be done. They didn't have any pulled pork at the BBQ or BBQ chicken? Just curious about the hamburger.

See, that wasn't so difficult, was it? It gets easier!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
