Wow!! Sounds like you are doing AWESOME!!! Congratulations on being so close to your goal!!

With regards to eating, I completely understand how easy it is to get sidetracked and not eat until after noon. I actually set alarms on my Fitbit for meal times. This accomplishes two things. First, it helps me remember to eat. Second it keeps my eating evenly spaced so that I'm fueling my body consistently throughout the day for better nutrition absorption.

As far as the food itself is concerned, I'm pretty basic, so I don't have much to share as far as meals or recipes. I primarily eat chicken. I found that shredded chicken was best to start with for my stomach. I made shredded taco chicken meat a LOT until I was able to get the "chewing to a pulp" routine down. So, shredded taco chicken topped with a little fat free sour cream and mild salsa. Now, I look for marinades that have less than 5g of sugar per serving, cut up 2-3 pounds of chicken breast, marinate and cook it in the marinade. Drain the excess marinade and box in 2 oz quantities for lunches and dinners. I add steamed veggies to round things out. I like making chicken fajitas, I don't eat tortillas, just the filling. But, I like the chicken/bell pepper/onion combo. My standard day consists of 1) Protein shake and Vitamins, 2) beef/turkey Jerky, 3) chicken and veggies, 4) Protein Shake, 5) salmon/chicken/steak/turkey and veggies.

Again, congratulations on the amazing progress you have made!! VSG is an amazing tool if the patient commits to the lifestyle change and it sounds like you have!! Keep up the awesome work!!!

Thank you! It's exciting to think I might hit goal weight before the new year. I'm definitely on my feet a lot more these days without all the extra weight.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday as well!!

Hello! I had RNY on October 22, 2016. Best choice I could have ever made. I'm having a bit of a bumpy time - food and I often fight. But, I'm learning - food is usually right and I'm usually wrong (too much, too fast, etc.). Protein is the hardest for me to fit in - and I'm learning to get really creative.

I'm down 63 lbs since surgery (84 since first weigh in) - and the feeling of being able to do things is incredible. I need my Christmas present (FitBit 2) so I can remind myself to eat - and stay on schedule!

Good luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
