Farms that produce raw milk are under strict supervision of the USDA

Because the government always has our best interests in mind. :lol:

You know what I say to people who are foolish enough to try to get me to cut out chocolate? With the 6 days a week HIIT, the ADF, the major surgery and the well over 100 lbs lost and they STILL have the mother loving nerve to tsk at my daily (yeah, I said it- daily!) taste of extra dark chocolate? I say YER MOMMA, STFU.

I have not tried it yet.. It is on the top of my to do list. In fact I do not even know how to do it yet. I was going to Google it. Any pointers would be helpful.

Lovin' this thread. Great debate and discussion but no one is getting nasty.

I am too newly sleeved to be trying this, but would like to incorporate more green food.< /p>

I have a vitamix, so blending spinach and kale into my Protein Drink is possible. I will have to discuss that with my NUT when I see her next.

My sister has expressed an interest in raw, but has no Internet, so if anyone would like to message me some juice or smoothie recipes, or tips to doing this that would be great.

Question: wouldn't it be better to be making smoothies versus juicing? That way you keep the pulp and fibres.

I look forward to seeing how you continue along

Many blessings

Michelle

I remember not being able to hold no more than 3 tablespoon of liquids at a time. I did not want to become nutrient deficient, so I juiced apples, pears and carrots or cantaloup. Later I added green veggies. I did not mix the fruit and veggies until I knew my tiny tummy could handle it. I took a little time, but I did not become nutrient deficent according to my bloodwork results. This may not be safe for everyone, but it worked for me. Hope this helps :-)

DAY 25 - 293.6 lbs

I don't really eat much anymore. I'll have my morning shake, a banana for lunch then veggie juice the rest of the day. Yet I still work out 2 days on, 1 day off for an hour at the gym. I'm dropping weight and pant sizes like a brick.

Dunno why but losing weight makes me lonely.

I walked into the fat store to get some new clothes for a "date", since all my stuff hangs off me like a homeless man. So I get to my "date", and she tells me she just wanted to hang out and has no romantic interest in me at all. Kinda sucks. Maybe you should have mentioned that long ago before we went out.

Turns out she sleeps on her apartment floor, is 30k in debt and has no job, and is emotionally unavailable. Oh, and wants to read tarot for a living. Maybe you should have mentioned ALL THAT TOO before we went out. Kinda sad that I'm so lonely I still kinda wanted to date her after these revelations. It's 1am, she gets out of the car and just kinda waves at me. I could feel my heart bleeding inside my chest. The first time I've interacted romantically with a girl in 2 years, and I get a forced smile and even a forced wave.

Losing weight sometimes is sad and lonely for a lot of us...

They say because of the hormones being released. Doesn't help when you're feeling down I know.

There will be someone out there for you, it sounds like a good thing that this girl wasnt.

Who needs that!

Hang in there :)

Man, I hear you on the loneliness and the perils of the dating world. I haven't been on many dates in my lifetime, and have been single for 10 years...that's right, 10, LOL...and even when I've gone on dates in the past, and I KNOW they're not the right fit, it still hurts when someone rejects you. It's an odd dichotomy...I don't want them, but I want them to want me. Now I'm just sounding like a Cheap Trick song. ;)

My point is, I completely understand how this situation feels, but she sounds like a real piece of work...so it's for the best that things didn't work out with her!

Although, to be fair, I can relate to carrying all of that debt, but mine is all from graduate school, LOL! :)

Good luck and hang in there!

Ugh! So sick of being lonely but dating sucks too! I am about to cancel all of my online dating sites cuz I keep getting asked to be a f*** buddy... And when I do go on a date with a guy who doesn't seem to e interested in only sex, he ends up trying to have sex with me anyway... It's really frustrating. Not sure if because I'm fat, they think that's all I worth is a lousy lay. Was really hoping to find a decent guy while I was large so I know I'm with someone who loves me for me but sadly my options are losers. I'm guessing ill have to wait till I'm thinish and hope for the best.

Anyhow, just focus on yourself. Try to knock feelings of loneliness. Maybe join a group sport/activity or make plans with friends/coworkers to have a regular night out once a week

It'll be alright. You sound like an awesome guy and will find love when the time is right. (((Hugs!)))

      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
