Doug, dude--you forgot the refried beans!! LOL! Boy do they taste good after having liquids for awhile. Especially with cheese and salsa added.

Way too many carbs.

Yeah I'm STILL surprised how much money I've been saving on food post-sleeve. This is great.

I am 2 months out and there's no way I am going any where near chili right now.. I still have reflux and adding chili to the mix would be a nightmare, and as for the refried Beans my surgeon told me to go ahead with them because of the amount of Protein you can get from 1 serving. I usually just have a tablespoon of Beans with about an ounce of cheese as a snack and boy does it fill me up..

That's awesome! I spent $18. Yogurt, Campbell's Chunky Soup, and Carnation Breakfast Essentials. That's it. I'm set for the week. I'll make up the difference in the new clothes I need to buy because I everything own is now too big!

Here's to the new us!

Just wait til you start buying clothes....the cost of an entire new wardrobe has definitely surpassed any food savings!

I swallowed my pride and started shopping at Good Will.

I'm more of an Ebay shopper myself, I check out Goodwill and other stores like that sometimes, but most of the stuff is there for a reason....although I did ****** a great vintage fox fur coat for $10 once!

P.S. that was "sn.atch"....didn't realize it was such a terrible word!

I have been lucky the last couple times I was at good will, I got 3 pairs of new jean that fit great and 4 cute shirts.

I LOVE thrift store shopping. Once you get used to it there is no going back to retail.

I wear my fat clothes until I lose all my weight. Saves a ton of money, and it fits in with the "baggy style".

[buchannon 17]

I've been up and down so much that I have a wide range of clothes to go off of right now.
