Vicki,

Did you see where I posted someone put some seasoning and toppings on the cheese and just let it fry flat, so when it cools in the pan it makes a pizza...

and yes either fat free or low fat sour cream (low fat has less carbs) and ranch seasoning mix. I found fiesta ranch mix too which is very good.

I'm so pms and bloated i'm a little frustrated with no loss with all my hard work. I know it will be ok in a couple days, just frustrating.

Hi jenn, I did see that post and I only wish i was so imaginitive, It sounds yummy, I also use turkey pepperoni which I like even more than reg. I too have been good the last several days, and I lost 4 and put on 2 so it just seems if your having this surgery, take advantage of the first year for your weight loss...:blink: wish I had known that.:)

That is very true, the last year has been slow, last June I was at 125 and in a year down and bouncing 202-205. But I got out of good habbits and stopped exercising so I did it to myself.

Don't give up, change up exercise, make sure you are getting 60g Protein and stay as positive as you can... it will come off.

My Dr told me up front stats would put my end weight at 205 and i'm now 10lbsbelow that, i'm going to prove him wrong!

It is definately not as easy.

When I was a year out, I started thinking I should have had RNY then I see people who had it done, and 99% of them look like crap, lots of hanging skin and some even very wrinkled. or some people just look drawn. These are people and friends of mine, so I'm not speaking for everyone, and everyone has their own personal choices... just want to get that out too.

Keep up the great work, You still have lost 77lbs, that is fantastic!

I am dealing with personal stuff and trying to convince myself it is all going to be ok, so I'm going to share my personal cheerleading with you

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Jenn, for the advice. I know i should take care of things here so thats what i'll do. Dr. said i would only be out of work 6 weeks after surgery, so not too bad. Well thanks again:wink2:. Take care everyone and keep reaching for the stars.

Good Morning

There is a 50million lb walk off challange in Buffalo in Sept, thinking about going. Where is Deleware Park? Is it right in the city?

How are you all doing today? Slow start here, cloudy and looks like rain so not sure if I am going to walk this morning, I should suck it up and go, I'm on a roll and 4lbs away from my August goal

Right in the middle of the city, really. It's about two blocks from Sister's Hospital. In the same area as the Zoo on Parkside Ave. I'm there every Saturday morning for a few trips around the track. I love Delaware Park.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
