I feel like my lifelong reality has been brought to the forums, where I say something dumb like, "how many Beans should I put in my mouth?" and all the attention has gone to the skinnier, prettier girl in the room. <_<

I use the small white ramikens from surlatable, for measureing, I packed in Beans till about half full, used a mozzarella cheese stick, 2 tablespoons salsa, put in microwave, could eat 1/2, so save other half for lunch or dinner next day, without messing more dishes. I swear the hobbits took over my house, there is small dishes and spoons everywhere LOL

KatiKati, Dean is right on the pureed chili too - saved me - could eat very little and be fully satiated! Made it myself to control the spiciness. Threw it in the crockpot overnight and had meals for a few weeks!

:( I'm sorry! I am NOT prettier than you! And I may be a bit smaller because I had my surgery before you! You will be there soon! I promise!

Pictures are all smoke and mirrors anyways

Sorry :(

Oh and call me a weirdo but I also blended meatloaf and gravy! Yummy 1/4 cup again.

I had to have meat at that point I was starving!

It wasn't saying something dumb at all. I think the question is the root of what we have to get our heads around - and it's hard! We're not on diets anymore, and it's hard work getting our heads around that and how to 'eat normally'.

I'm sorry you feel that way because I really did try and give a considered answer :(

And in any case I'm the skinniest, best looking person in the room ;)

Ha Ha. That's funny, because whenever I'm around the girls are always preoccupied with trying to gain the attention of my gay friends.

It is pretty cool to eat one and be stuffed (and not 10!!)

It really is!!!

I really like homemade tacos now ( I'm ten months)

You can add the meat and Beans with salad toppings on top. It's a meal.

And yes one fills you up and it's very satisfying.

I could eat one everyday.

My family says awe mom not tacos again lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
