Crazy hey? We all have the big chains, I just think America has the biggest problem with maximum quantity for minimum outlay. To get takeaway (in my household anyway) is still a "treat" thing. As a reward or when on holidays.

Just reading what I wrote. Maybe that's why we get so much emotional gratification when we eat it, because it was given to us when we were good and deserved something special.

My saving grace is that my kids are snobs and when we go out to eat its always sushi... And we live in an area that there really isn't any fast food terribly close (thank god) because if it were closer I think the temptation would be overwhelming!

Oh but we do have an ice cream parlor within walking distance ... And Tuesdays are 1 dollar scoop night :(

My daughter loves sushi too. She won't eat steamed salmon that I cook, but she'll eat it raw with avocado and wrapped in rice and seaweed. Kids today are weird.

I already saw that the Australian government put them on eBay! :) Jk. You will be happy to know that I finally got my baby girl sugar glider. So I won't need you to run down to the rain forest after all! ;)

      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... :(
