Salads are my friend I can not seem to get enough of them.

HW 358 SW 344 CW 251 RNY 4/11/2013

Have been craving them myself. Went and bought all the fixings yesterday and will be making a big salad today!

Have had lots of salad myself lately...but have noticed it causes me much intestinal distress....horrible painful gas pains. Trying to not have any this week to see if that's actually been the cause. Will miss it though.

I want salad too! I think I'm too strict on my food choices. I can't eat enough to get enough Protein AND have salad. I pretty much eat yogurt, Babybel, Jerky, fish, shrimp and chicken. Maybe a bite or two of veggies. I don't eat Pasta, rice or bread. I dis eat about 2 oz of potato last week. Hmmmm....the sad thing is.....I'm normally the person who eats their vegetables first! Besides fish/seafood...I don't really like meat at all.

Some are great and some I don't care for. I got a variety pack from Amazon and weeded the bad out.

Ok my friends..after what was possibly the worst and lowest 10days of my life I have news. They were able to find a baby today and a heart beat!!!! It's a miracle!! Not only that they found another sac! Twins!!!! They can't tell me much of anything about baby b. Apparently my uterus is so badly tilted they can't see anything really or even if the baby is developing in there. After all the pain and stress of the last week and seeing just how God is in

Control I cant give up! I am praying God is going to take care of baby b! I'm overwhelmed a bit I think. Just knowing there is life in there where as a week ago they gave me pretty much no hope!! I thank God I listened to my heart and body and didn't go and do the d&c he wanted me to do on fri. I know He is able and I am trusting and believing. While my husb is so happy we know we have one baby with a little beating heart in there he is shocked speechless. He could only say he just doesn't understand how last week was a ghost town and this week there's 2! I have no idea how I can support 2 babies as I can barely eat or keep much down right now but I am not going to get as concerned about this part just yet. I just know miracles happen! Thank u all for the love and support u have shown me!

Omg!!! I am soo excited for you!! I didn't even finish reading your post but had to respond! I had been told I had a blighted ovum twice. The first time was true. The second time I just refused to believe it and just knew inside me they were wrong. My dr wanted to do a d and c but I insisted that she wait. She even checked my hormone levels and said there was no way this was a viable pregnancy... Well she I insisted on another sonogram before any d and c as I had read online that many woman are misdiagnosed and go on to have a d and c for what was a viable pregnancy. Well sure enough there was my little baby boys heartbeat on the screen and she could not believe it! I was so overcome with joy and even told her see I knew you were wrong lol well when I read about you I prayed for you and I wanted to tell you this and to just be sure before getting a d and c but I didn't know if that would just make it worse you know?? So I said nothing but then I read this !!!! Oh how wonderful and totally goes to show God is in control. I am truly overjoyed for you!!

      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... :(
