I feel your pain. I have guests coming over for dinner. I made a 3 course meal, baked bread and cannot touch any of it. I will stick to my yogurt and shake.< /p>

Being brave and sticking to your food plan is GREAT!! Your family and friends are a great way to catch up and talk and forget about the food. I am getting good with that. Always carry a drink of Water and maybe you will forget about the 'wrong' foods.

Happy 4th!!!

I was banded in Jan... I have made it through birthdays easter, anniversary, and now 4th of July.. family grilled burgers and dogs.. I ate about 1/2 of a burger , no bun, a small spoonful of baked Beans and some pineapple (fresh) small piece... I remember past holidays with gorging and feeling sick from eating too much then feeling guilty because I was so fat and uncomfortable.. today we did get in the pool and I did a few laps.. anyway there will be lots of holidays that you can enjoy but just less food.. it's so worth it.. I have lost 45 lbs and I am way happier and healthier than I was.. keep your eye on the prize..

Sounds like me and my daughter. I chose to go out instead of cooking that Thanksgiving. Between 8 of us, we brought home 9 boxes! You can get through it, just remember why you did this! Best wishes, happy holiday!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
