My wife (another VSG person about 3 months out) made a lemon pound cake this last week with almond paste. No flour. She claims it is VSG friendly, but it taste like Starbucks lemon pound cake to me. Very tasty. I keep nibbling a crumb or two a few times a day when I walk past it. I tell her to put it away, but there it is on the counter, every single day. 300 something calorie per slice. Not going to eat it. that is my mantra. She is keeping it out for my brother because he likes it (he is not in shape nor cares about healthy eating). Somebody convince her to.just.put.it.away.out.of.sight.:)

Nah, it would go into the garbage and then there would be an even bigger issue to deal with. :)

Could be worse, housemate cooks bacon every morning. I can walk by cake...but the smell of bacon drives me wild...didnt know I was hungry till I smell it...and I work from home!

If you see a weird news story of someone beaten to a pulp by a package of bacon...you know why..

Since you are in the Seattle area, love bacon and enjoy fitness, what better way to enjoy this weekend then at the Seattle Bacon Beatdown as a spectator:

http://washington.thebaconbeatdown.com

Who would have thought cross fit completion and bacon to be joined at the hip like this?? I won't be participating this year, but perhaps next year. Spectators welcome.

They have a bacon eating contest!!

http://washington.thebaconbeatdown.com/contest

Prize is "a massive supply of bacon" Your bf would really appreciate that!!

Come on, you know this would be fun given your shared love of bacon mentioned in your post. :)

Back to topic now...

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
