.....eating slowly. I still can barely bother sitting down at the table because I won't be there that long. It's like I find eating slightly annoying, so I want to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Craving salty Snacks. I had so hoped that my tastebuds would change post-op and I would hate things like popcorn and chips. Nope.

That's easy: Roasted and salted soy nuts Crunchamame The Good Bean garbanzo Snacks Mixed nuts (salted is fine) Jerky Ostrim turkey sticks

My bugaboo is eating slowly, like everyone else. Dang, I wish I could get the hang of it. I even have a timer.

Eating too fast. I know, not very original. I am the worst when it comes to taking my time to eat.

not sure what food stage your at but you can make chicken wings in the oven that taste better than fast food ones and lots of other fast food stuff you can make a healthy version so you don't feel ripped off.

Struggling with Vitamins too and thinking of maybe switching to regular vitamins so I at least want to take it. The bariatric ones taste gross, chalky and take forever to dissolve. I've started dreading having these pills in my mouth for up to an hour before dissolving

My surgeon and nutritionist have always said that two Flintstone's chewable vitamins are just fine. At least you don't have to wait for them to dissolve and they taste OK. :)

I take 1 Flintstone's Complete per day. Make sure you get the Complete version in the purple bottle. They include minerals.

For the late night thing, I keep some of the SF 30cal pops around from liquid phase. If its not a sweets thing i have cauliflower or radishes for crunch. But sometimes that upsets Thor, God of Thunder, that lives in my belly.

HEAD HUNGER at night! Do fine all day long and then at night - it's a real struggle! Finally gave up not using a straw and now I have no problem at all getting in my Water and liquids - I just couldn't do it sipping!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
