Have any of you guys had an alcoholic beverage yet?

[Arianna0228 25]

Nope... I want to soo bad, I love pumpkin beer. But they told me a big no on the for a minimum of 6 months, preferably a year

[kell778 46]

TeeNah, I tried to make the spaghetti squash but as I started forking it... It turned to mush! Did I cook it too long?

I tried half a glass of wine for my birthday and I couldn't tell if I was "feeling it" but I suddenly felt hyper ???? I asked my doc, he said one night isn't bad and the risk of transfer addiction is very slim. I'm not a big drinker but I had a BYOB paint thing soo I had to ????

Yes, you over cooked it. I made it last night and I did too, it came out a bit mushy but I'm not sure if it's cause I cooked it too long or cause I let it cool down too long before I "forked" it. Did you end up eating it or tossing it ?

It was not edible. I just ate the sauce. It had lots of yummy veggies and meat. I really can't tolerate noodles. It hurts but noodles are part of why I got into trouble in the first place.

By the way, as tough as recovery was I have NO regrets. I'm down 48 lbs and tomorrow is our 3 month mark!! It's not as fast as some people but I am beyond thrilled. I'm almost half way!!!

Sorry but if you get a chance, try it again ! I swear it tastes almost like the real thing ! Congrats on your weight loss ! I hit 50 pounds a couple days ago. I got the shot as birth control and it's really messing with my weight loss, but the way I look at it, we wouldn't be this much lighter if we didn't do it ! I posted this on Facebook yesterday lol.

Awesome ladies. I went to a wedding yesterday and some people didn't even recognize me. I love that. Today is 3 months. I'm down pounds.

[kell778 46]

How many pounds SmileyBear?

TeeNahh!!! You look awesomeeeee.

[smileybear76 24]

51 from surgery. I have lost 120 total.

[Arianna0228 25]

Just had my 2 month followup (late I know) but I've lost 50.8 pounds since surgery, and 85.9 pounds since I started the weight loss/surgery journey

[smrogg 49]

Fantastic job ladies!! You look great TeeNah!! I hit the 199 mark today!!! It's been a long time since I've seen the other side of 200 pounds! Woohoo!!

[smileybear76 24]

How much is everyone able to eat now? I had a followup yesterday and I didn't think I was eating enough. He said I am fine. I eat three meals a day and one Isopure. My meals are just a quarter of a cup. So I don't get much Protein from those. I don't tolerate meat very well. I'm close to being a vegetarian. Doctor says that's healthy for me.

[Arianna0228 25]

It really depends on what I'm eating. If I'm eating Soup or something like yogurt, I'm probably closer to 1/2 cup. If I'm eating something of more substance, it's probably closer to 1/4 cup

Congrats to everyone.... 7 weeks out and down 29 pounds since surgery 65 over all.
