Recommended Posts

So, today I am experimenting with different juice "shakes" and I am sitting here sipping this new one I made up and kept thinking to myself how to make it better. I do that withe EVERYTHING, drinks, food etc. I can't 'eat' something and not think of how to make it better next time. Even if it is perfectly good the first time around!!! My hubby says its my OCD that does it, I say its just the fact I am a anal perfectionist (he says 'whats the damned difference').

So there you have it, even my homemade Protein Shakes aren't safe from my brain. Damn I need another hobby, I shoulda never ever taken that job as assistant chef in the early 90's, it only made my perfectionism worse.

So, was it any good? And, when are you going to share the recipe? I wouldn't mind taking the protein-shake-advice from a shoulda-been-a culinary master!

Hehe I swear I responded to you, I swear I did .. but its gone ....

So what I said was:

When I have it perfected I will share it. Today its ok, not great, just ok. Tomorrow I might add some rosemary or a mint leaf or two. But today its just ok....

I do the same thing with food. I don't make very many drinks, but I do this with food all the time. DH laughs at me because he says he feels like he is being interrogated while eating, about flavor, consistency, etc. I don't even realize I do it that much.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
