A friend of mine also gave me this recipe idea if you like Mexican food.

Mix a 1/2 cup of fat free refried Beans with a lilttle taco seasoning. Then put it in a small container. Sprinkle a little fat free cheese on top. When you are ready to eat, pop it in the microwave to melt the cheese on top. Delicious!! And if you are a sour cream eater you could put a little dollop of that on it too.

This is great for something quick you can pack to take with you to work too.

Totally normal. When you switch from liquids to real food the weight lose slows down. I actually gained 5 pounds that week.

Yes, I have for the most oart, Ive had egg salad, chicken salad (pureed chicken), maryland crab Soup liquified, and turkey wings and green Beans (blended), All so tasty with no starches. I used low fat mayo for the sides, and I used a little creamy ceaser dressing (1 gram of carb) for the chicken salad. It all taste so good so I dont feel like im missing out, except when I heat up spagetti or gave my kids some pizza, that just seem to call me, so I will be trying your recipe to curb those cravings for italian food.

it seemed like I gained 2 but it keeps coming and going. Honestly, it scared me into thinking this band wouldnt work, like my body has hit a plateau and is accustomed to where I am (only 17 pounds lighter) so is this where the 1-2 pound per week weight loss starts?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
