Lessoned Learned



Recommended Posts

My new sweet treat is TCBY frozen greek yougurt with nuts and sf caramel sauce. The problem is they only offer big cups and it is self serve. The fist two times I just added what I thought was a good size. Last time i asked how much it weighed and it was 13 ounces!!!! OMG! So I leanred my lesson to ask the weight before I eat. Then I split it up and take the rest home. So I now get 3 Servings out of what I thought was one. Lesson learned!! Just thought I would share.

Our eyes can be deceiving!! Smart of you to think to weigh it. I remember going to DD in the fall when they had pumpkin spice coffee and one day I looked it up and it was 200+ calories I wanted to cry lol so I improvised with sf pumpkin cream just as good. Thanks for sharing..wish we had a tcby in PA.

That's one thing I hate about the self serve places! I have gotten pretty good at measuring out 4 or 8 ounces. depends on how many calories I have to spare!

Yeah I am pretty good also but the combination of the big bowl and it being frozen yogurt threw me for a loop.

Practice makes perfect, once you have had it a few times, you will be good at measuring the right amount!!!!!!! :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
