Turkey Pepperoni - is probably available by several brands but so far I've only found it by Hormel in loose pouches of pre-cut pepperoni. The phrase Turkey is green on the front of the package. There are only 80 Calories per 20 slices and 80% or more less fat than regular pepperoni. Sometimes I nuke them crunchy they are a great substitute for chips with or without dip.

Sometimes I leave them un-nuked, put a little cheese on top 10 or so slices and just eat them cold for lunch.

Opps, Guess I didn't have my facts straight it was 70% less not 80%

Finally got off my ... got up and checked the old fridge the packages says there are 80 Cal /9g Prot/0g Carb per 17 Slices (Not 20)

2 Strikes - One to Go...

I love this thread...I'm gonna go through it to get some ideas for some different things to buy at the grocery this week:hungry:

Here goes....

Breakfast: yogurt, coffee with Creamer

Morning Snack: 1/4 cup cheese cubes/diced summer sausages

Lunch: 4 oz roast beef lunchmeat, 1 slice cheese, sliced tomatoes. 1/4 cup chili.

Afternoon Snack: 2 tbsp Peanut Butter w/4 saltine crackers.

Dinner: You guessed it...too tired to eat. Stopped at Sonic on my way home and had an ice cream cone though :pout:

That puts my totals for today at 1,006 calories and 56 grams of protein;)

Water: Much better today, 64 ounces!:whoo:

Exercise: Clocked 4 miles on my podometer at work today:target: :flame:

Now I must go collapse!!!! Three days of this in a row is about to kill me!:faint2:

Days like today are what (I think) are perhaps slowing my weightloss. That and time, of course! But today, I'm MAYBE at 300 calories. Maybe. Oh, add about 180 calories for a Protein Drink I forgot about. So still under 500 calories. Never felt hungry today, so to eat more than that I would have had to eaten when not hungry, or go beyond satisifed. *sigh*

Girly-

Don't make me come beat you! You must eat!! Try eating more often.....like a small Protein snack every 2 hours throughout the day at work. Set a little alarm if you have to remind yourself. Lick a tablespoon of Peanut Butter or something.

Ever since I had the band, I can't really remember ever being "physically" hungry, EVER....NEVER! (although I'm not counting head hunger which is my true beast).

I thought I saw on a thread you were going for another fill?? Did you change your mind?

Oh, no no, not me. Not until 1) I don't get stuck on Soup after a flight, 2) I'm able to eat more than I can now. And probably not until 3) I find a new fill doctor.

And since I brought up that last point, let me share a concern I've had in the back on my mind. It's been made pretty crystal clear that we're now perceived as problem children (all because we share our opinions - beautiful!). I know you guys have been singled out when you've gone into the doctor's office, pulled aside, lectured, criticized, etc. So there's no question about whether or not we're "welcomed" there, IMO. Now I really have to wonder, if whatever we've done has been able to make that much impact on how we're treated personally, what impact is it going to have on how we're treated medically? And I don't mean by Dr. H himself, at all. To this day I maintain full confidence in his ability. But Dr. H only does part of it... Sorry, didn't want to keep that bottled up any longer, so I guess now you'll all have to deal with even more disgruntleds, since it's clear we're monitored and reported on, and you know that anything other than crystal clear, shiny reviews about the program get you treated poorly.

Sorry for the vent, but I've had a growing concern and I'm not fully sure what to do with it. I think something may be going wrong with my band - well, not the band itself, but the area... my port scar has something going on. The skin around it is getting really weird... and I don't mean it's "scarred"... like the healthy skin is starting to change color, and the skin is getting a weird texture, and has started to cave in a little. This starts where the scar stops, and sort of radiates outward, eventually fading away. Not like an infection radiates/streaks... almost like something got smudged on my skin. Hard to describe, and I've never seen anything quite like it. I don't know yet that it's "bad", but it's definitely "weird". If it isn't better Monday I will go see my PCP, and I know she will do what she can, but I also know she's going to say "Call your surgeon". But with the concerns that I mentioned above... I just don't know if that's something I'm interested in doing. What would you guys do? Should I give Dr. Malley a call? Call Dr. H but tell him I'm not confident in the treatment his office provides? Call Billy, whom from what I've heard will just put Nola on the phone, tell Nola what's going on, listen to a lecture about what her position is and how we're hurting the program, go in, get called into an office & lectured again, then maybe finally get the medical treatment I'm after?

As for the eating:

Yesterday I had a half a Chipotle bowl w/ extra Beans.< /p>

Lots of Decaf tea & Water.< /p>

Robyn - I think I may need to do the alarm thing you're talking about because what happens is I get involved in something, and since I'm not feeling hunger, I FORGET to eat.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
