Tann--All I can say is... :hail: ! You continue to be such an inspiration to me! Thanks for your support! :hug:

TURNER good job on the:lost3lbs: :welldone: and this is for your DH :( :( :lost2lbs: :success1: makes me want to start m/e soon.:biggrin1: Most likely I will do m/e starting Monday for the last full week of April, I've gotta make my goal for this month. As long as I lose 10lbs a month I'm happy with that.

Good afternoon everyone! What a day this has been! :omg: I wanted to send everyone a quick hey and encourage everyone to stay strong this week. I did well last week but was not so good over the weekend and the scale reflected so. I have to kick it up this week! I want to make my 100 lbs. lost this month. I know that if I stay strong, I will reach it! :biggrin1: I'm taking tomorrow off so hopefully that will result in a lot more time to exercise and not a lot more time to munch. :paranoid

Congrats everyone on your losses!! :clap2: That is fantastic!!!

You'll make it!!!:clap2: Just kick it up a knoch as Emril says and then Bamm-m you'll be there.

I went for my first post-op visit yesterday and official weightloss is 7.4 lbs. My scales at home say different and I perfet my count but I only post what they log so I won't get discouraged.

Have a great day, gotta go out and walk

I would really like to see like a daily menu for about a week on what yall are eating on the m/e diet if you dont mind...I know that i might be asking alot...It sounds interesting to me and I just want to see what it actually consists of...I understand the meat and eggs of course, but in my mind there is only so much you can do with that without adding alot of carbs....And no veggies?? Can someone SPLAIN it to me...I saw the earlier post from Tann explaining egg salad, deviled eggs and stuff like that...I just want to see the other stuff too...PRETTY PLEASE

I agree Niecy, shout it to the roof tops, if I'm reading this right, when you hit the big 100 goal it will be within the first six months since your surgery. That is WAY FLIPPIN COOL!!!!!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2:

I would be turning cartwheels, I can not wait to lose 100 - but right now I'm looking for the 50 and I have about 12 to go for that little goal. Is it amazing to see how much different you look and feel??? Same question goes for Ms. Tann, do you have a permanent smile on your face and a "I'm kickin butt and taking names attitude"

I'm feeling pretty good today myself, because I went to dinner last night with some friends that I hadn't seen since surgery and they were Wowed by what a difference the 38 pounds had made. I can imagine what old friends say when they see you guys.

Celebrating our 2 year anniversary this week-end with a romantic trip (means no kids!!!!) to Dallas to stay at the Hyatt and a fancy dinner. Looking forward to it - and planning on burning off any extra calories I might consume - if you know what I mean!! :)

Later,

Later,

Amy, it is quite amazing, People make me feel like a lil weightloss celebrity, I'm not exaggerating (sp?) Everyday, everywhere I go if someone knows me the weightloss is the topic of the conversation:eek: They hug me, and I have had a lady start crying on me, she was just soo happy for me. It is truly amazing, I get all kinds of compliments, people treat me different. They can't believe I still want to lose 75 more pounds.

AVILLA I'm starting a m/e Sunday morning thru the end of this month. I will post my menue each day. I gotta warn ya tho, it's not much food. :nervous

Thank you Tann....I am just interested to see if its something that I can actually do at the same time while having to cook for 2 other people at home...Like just make a regular meal and be able to just eat the meat or the egg part of the meal...For me, there is no making me a seperate meal cuz it just wastes too much food and we cant afford that...But I am curious...So, thank you again

Tann, Pam, Amy--Thank you!:) I really appreciate your support! Amy, 38 lbs. is awesome! You will make your 50 in no time! Keep it up!:rolleyes: I have to say, I experience exactly what Tann is talking about. Everyone knows that I had the surgery but they are just amazed that I have lost weight so quickly. Everyone is so happy for me and it is the topic of discussion everywhere! I feel like a totally different person. In fact, dh and I just got back from walking 2 miles and it felt great! It is such a beautiful day that I wanted to take advantage of it and I suggested the walk. That would have NEVER happened a year ago! The changes are amazing!:)

Avilla--It's good to hear from you!:wave: I will be starting back on m/e Monday so I will try to remember to post my menu. Hopefully when I see Tann's that will remind me. ;) I can give you a rough idea however. Every morning I eat a hard boiled egg or two hard boiled egg whites. Thursday for lunch I had a small piece of meatloaf. Not exactly the best meat choice but it was what was available. For supper Thursday I had a grilled pork chop. Friday for lunch I had chicken and the same for supper. I eat a lot of boneless, skinless chicken breast either grilled or baked. I love chicken so it's not too difficult to live with. :hungry: The menu does tend to get boring by day 4 or 5 but well worth it!

This evening we are trying out a new restaurant with some friends. I am looking forward to a nice salad! YUM!

Denise I'm glad you can relate to what I'm talking about, I can't imagine the attention we will be getting at goal weight:faint: , but its ALL GOOD. But it gets kinda embarrassing sometimes being the center of attention, still not used to that.

Avilla its Sunday Morning is this is my plan for today.

B: SF flavored water

L/D is combined on Sundays: Baked chicken

More Water thru out the day if I get hungry later tonite it will be chix broth.< /span>

Thank yall so much for doing this for me....So basically what yall are doing is whatever you make for dinner for the family or whatever you just eat the meat part and no veggies or nothing on the side....Just the meat or just an egg? And yall do this for about 4-5 days then go back and get some veggies for a couple days right?? This sounds doable....I appriciate you doing this, I just needed to see what yall were eating

Yes Avilla, that's how I do it. We had chicken, mashed potatoes & a green salad for dinner. I just had the chicken. I also think that if you are a first timer you might just want to to 2-3 days at a time, then add some veggies.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
