Looks awesome! I am having an issue with eggs because I can't eat them before they get cold and a cold egg literally makes me gag haha

That's a bummer. Maybe zap in the microwave halfway through your meal?? Sometimes I think something is wrong with me because I read about it taking people 30 minutes or an hour to eat 3-4 ounces and I can eat a meal in about 15 minutes with no issues. I am trying to eat slowly, but I need concentrate more on slowing down.

Yeah I can eat in 15 mins too. I do get sick if I eat too much too fast but an egg is fjnet

Was wondering if anyone had cure for leg cramps, when I use to get cramps before WLS I took like extra magnesium & potassium but like now should I just do the same?

I have been constantly getting in about 70 ounces of Water and it's a struggle to do that. Should I increase my water?!

Anyone know...

Do you like tonic water ? The quinine helps with leg cramps! Also yes to the magnesium. I'd start that back up as soon as you can. And hydration itself will help. Keep sipping!

I tried shrimp today. Went really well. It sat is my stomach super easily. I got down about 2oz before I decided I was done. I'll eat the other 2 ounces for dinner. 24 grams of Protein in those 4 ounces, so much!

My cardiologist had me on a medication that would cause severe debilitating leg cramps at night. He recommended taking a coq10 supplement (which is normally used for heart health but has other positive effects) and the cramps stopped almost immediately. Luckily I was later able to get off the medication that was causing it in the first place.

Shrimp sounds good! How did you cook it?

I did it very basic in butter on the stove. Maybe a minute on each side, or less. I then drained of a much of the excess butter as possible and lightly salted it then added garlic powder and mixed them all together. Very tasty!

T-Bone went with me on a 5 mile bike ride today, so he's one tired pup! He's usually running around insisting that someone play catch with him, but not tonight. LOL! It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed my bike ride in the sunshine listening to some tunes.

So increasing your water also depletes Vitamins. I would recommend potassium and mag. Absolutely. As long as none of your medications will react with them. If your worried about a reaction ask ur doc. Or pharmacy

I never really thought about the loss happening in my face but I went out last night with my BFF and we took a selfie and she's like "your face is shrinking!" Here's November with her and last night. She's been a rock star with me through all this IMG_0441.jpg IMG_20200229_211700_374.jpg

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
