Just got back from my final appointment with the surgeon. Received a date of February 13. They will submit my information to my insurance company, but I have no reason to think I won't be approved.

Looking for any buddies February and/or surgery day twins.

Hi everyone!!! Hope everybody's doing great!!! I'm doing well, getting my protein in and my water in. Learning what sits well with my new stomach and what don't lol. It's a learning process!

Well I tried 2 shrimp for the first time last night, and omg I felt horrible and they came right back up. I'm not sure I will ever eat shrimp again. I have mixed feelings, on the one hand I can no longer brag about how easy this has been and I've had no issues; on the other hand it's reassuring to know that my stomach will tell me when something is too much, too early etc.

I would do a ticker on the bottom but I can't figure out how to do it!

Dang! I know you tried this, but were they "soft cooked"? I have much better results if I don't overcook things and make them dry and rubbery? Also, small bites, chew like hell, eat very slowly! Also, never underestimate the power of good low cal/low carb/low fat sauce hon! I use avocado and tomato (seedless/skinless) to "lube" shrimp.

I can teach you about the ticker if you wanna pm me. But you have to be on a real computer, not the phone app. ((hugs))

Congrats Angy!!!! ((hugs)) You are doing so great!!!

Congrats Angy!!!! ((hugs)) You are doing so great!!!

Stats first:

HW 427.4 (Jan. 2)

SW: 413 (Feb. 15)

Last week: 378.4

Today: 372.8

So, down 5.6 since last week, 40.2 since surgery, and 54.6 overall.

The last week has been semi-hellish, and I finally started feeling better yesterday. Advanced to regular foods on Thursday, dumped twice, and missed work Friday and Monday (and was miserable over the weekend) due to bowel issues -- likely the beginning stages of a bowel obstruction forming. Averted that, thankfully, but it took a lot of Miralax and stool softeners. I haven't really been able to "enjoy" the regular food stage yet because of those issues (I reverted back to a liquid/super soft diet while I was having issues) and I was afraid to eat last night, but I managed to eat a baked chicken tender with cheese without any problems. Then I made some deviled eggs (the only way I like eggs) with low-fat mayo and pickle relish, and my stomach said "absolutely not!" after just one bite, so now my mom has some deviled eggs she can eat.

Today, I started mixing Benefiber in with my morning protein shake, and within 15 minutes of drinking it, my body was already reacting, like "Fiber? What's THAT?!?!?" I've been doing pretty well at getting my liquids and protein in, and I'm averaging 350-500 calories a day.

So sorry, you haven't had good week. Hopefully this week will be way better! You have done fabulous on your weight though!!! Congrats!!!

How are you doing. Feeling well?

Hi everyone. I’ve missed the last 2 weigh ins. I’m actually up 4 pounds since my last post. On the 21st we left for Miami. My family had a Disney cruise booked since well before my surgery date was set. I was cleared for an unrestricted diet starting the 17th so I thought I would be good. We drove from Chicago straight through to Miami and at the start of the trip I was good but 23 hours of driving I caught myself snacking on the kids pretzels or goldfish. I made sure to get my protein in but just like the trip down carbs made their way into my diet on the cruise. I usually only ate an appetizer at dinner and got my fill. My body would let me know if I wasn’t behaving, at least once a day I had to go to the bathroom to purge because I ate too much or too fast. I’m upset about the 4 pounds but I did it to myself I didn’t always make the best choices and now that I’m home again I can right the ship.

Hope everyone is doing well.... keep trying.... updates updates??

I woke up with a boost of energy today plus it is a beautiful Saturday super sunny and gorgeous.... I am going to enjoy it as much as I can.... I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter tomorrow.... and let’s behave and not go crazy remember all the effort we have put into this.... if you need a treat or a snack do so with something you can eat....

Hello All.

Stats:

HW: 296.5

SW: 291 (2/14/18)

CW: 260

Just over six weeks out. Can eat and drink just about anything. I do have a couple of aversions. Almost like being pregnant when the smell of certain food would make me want to vomit. That’s how it’s become with my beloved roasted garlic / red pepper hummus. Can’t do it anymore or at least right now.

I don’t measure or count anything. The restriction “trained” me on what small portions look like real fast. Eating past capacity is so incredibly uncomfortable and seems to take hours to feel human again. So I know my portions size pretty well now. I Drink something most of the day and keep it moving. So far, I’m 31 lbs down.

Looking to get in the gym next week. After all, I’ve been paying membership fees for the last four years! [emoji30]

Best of luck!

I haven't been able to notice a difference in myself with my weight loss, but today Timehop showed me a picture from a year ago today (I was wearing the exact same shirt, ha!) and I can actually see it for once.

Hey you are a cutie pie [emoji66]! I will probably look like something that cat drug in or what's left in the garbage can after the dog knocked it over. Maybe I should get a t shirt in my current size 3X THAT says ROAD KILL that way,I won't be guilty of false advertising[emoji13]
