How precious! A magical time of the year.

Fabulous!!!!!!!! Wonderful weight loss Pippa, you are an inspiration.

Welcome from another Texan. Looks like we had our surgeries at the same time. Let us know how you are doing.

How Exciting! Enjoy a wonderful new you.

Is your mom supportive?
My mom is 87 years old and for as long as I can remember she has nagged everyone in our family about their weight. Each of us now has weight issues. Most of my siblings are...

Weight Watchers is an excellent, healthy diet. They also have meetings that offer support. Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome thread. Congrats on your nsv's Grace and flowerGalTX. I was able to vacuum the whole house this week without have to take a rest in between. I wasn't even tired or winded when I finished....

Joy, It is great to see that you are feeling so well. Time will only make things better. I will be reading your posts and following your story and weight loss. This surgery is just awesome and opens...

Every surgeon is different. My BMI was 35 pre-op and I was on a two week liquid diet of protein shakes.

Thank you for the ideas. After Thanksgiving I am going to give some of these a try. I have been stuck in a rut and that leads to wanting to eat things that are not good for me.

Seems my snacks never vary. It's always a cheese stick or almonds. Anyone have any good low carb snack ideas?

Good luck to you Joy.

Lettuce is something I have missed too. Thinking aobut having a nice chicken salad next week. We'll see how it goes down.

That will depend on what your doc says. I was over 6 weeks out before I could eat regular food. You don't want to hurt that new stomach.
I am making pizza tongiht. I use carb balance tortillas...

I average between 650 to 800 calories a day and I am 10 weeks out.

Good luck today! I will be thinking of you. A new and wonderful life awaits you.

WOW!!!! You go girl...you look absolutely amazing!

I agree with the others about losing some of the carbs. Try eating some pureed protein instead of the baked potato. If I get hungry at night I eat a 1/2 c of cottage cheese or a piece of string...

Yes Lisa, it will get better. I'm so sorry you are hurting, but some people have more pain than others. Have you tried taking tums and are you taking your acid reducer? Walk as much as you can as...

I agree the sleeve is a tool but for me it is a powerful tool. I get full so quickly, sometime after just a few bites. I agree with not eating empty calories, but I also feel we should not deny...

Praying for good news. I agree with one of the other posters....think only positive thoughts

Good luck Amanda. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

Welcome to the forums Kat. Absolutely no regrets here.
