Yup, I love a good slice of pizza. I can eat a whole normal slice now, barely. I used to do 4 easy. pizza was one food that I told my doctor if i could never eat again I wasnt doing the surgery. I was serious...

PS California pizza is TRASH...I ordered when we were in LA and the guy at the hotel recommended the place as the best around and I couldnt believe that called that crap pizza.

HAHAHA oh man don't talkk about Cali like that!!! Some people just don't know any better and have bad taste in food! lol I gotta go to the East Coast and try your pizza and see what all the fuss is about :380_pizza:

@MauiLolly omg TELL ME YOUR SECRETS lol what is your diet like that you have stuck to when you went from 203 to 190?! I'm dying here....it's gonna be 3 weeks almost since I've been at 203. Also, what exercise are you doing? Please help meee maybe I'm not doing enough with my food and stuff :(

No secrets! Just keep on keepin on! I got stuck again for a few weeks at 188. Now I'm finally in the 170's. I think it is just the nature of the beast for some of us. Hang in there. I promise it will happen!

I actually don't eat much yet. I drink Premier Protein in the mornings, might have a snack of turkey lunch meat in afternoon, maybe, and try to eat 2 ounces of Protein for dinner. I usually have a yogurt each day. A triple zero! And lots and lots of water!!!

hugs,

lolly

Also, I had a gastric bypass and I believe sleevers loose a little slower. You just hang in there girl! You'll get there!

Can you tell me how to change my weight on the side panel? LOL

Oh yeah! I just realized that you had bypass and not the sleeve! That does make a difference!

At the top right corner where your username and pic is, click the down button, then click "My Surgery" and then on the side it says Progress. Click that and you can change your current weight :)@MauiLolly

I also walk 3 miles a day, 6 days a week, on the treadmill at the gym. I am just starting to do a little bit of weight training but I mostly just walk.

Weight training in some form will jumpstart your metabolism like you wouldnt believe. It will also help shape your body as the weight falls off.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
