    Re: Bad News today

    @Dewdrop, I'm not sure what your situation is, but like you, many of us weren't able to go through insurance for surgery. I know you've invested quite a bit of money in this process already. Have...

    Overnight Oats

    It's been a long time since I've posted. I'm almost a year post-op and down 74#'s :D
    Forgive me if anyone has posted this recipe already. I just love it and it's worth sharing (or re-sharing!)

  6. Re: HELP!! I'm on the STALL ride and I can't get off!!

    Hi J_Davenport, I love coffee but can't go without the cream either so what I've done is kill two birds with one stone: I use the vanilla premier protein - 30g of protein/shake: I pour an entire...
  7. Re: Wasn't expecting that! Completely parched while I eat.

    That's actually very clever! That would slow down the eating process which I try to be very mindful of (some times with success, sometimes, not so much). It's still liquid so it doesn't really change...

    So THAT is what it's like to feel full!

    Hello all :)

    I am just over a month post up. WLS to date (including pre-op month+ dieting) = 35#'s.

    I've started with solid foods. After 6 weeks of essentially just liquids (and stuff pureed...
  15. Re: What are your ways of dealing with the Thanksgiving holidays?

    @Vincent - I completely understand where you are coming from and why you would ask the question. Many of us either work around food or regularly entertain (at work or home). Food is a large piece of...

    Re: Stalled

    @jmarsh - my surgery was early April. I lost 7#'s the first week and haven't lost anything since. I'm beyond frustrated. I get close to protein and water goals. Watch my sugar/carb intake. I admit,...

  20. Re: 2 months out and I still eat like a sick cat :-(

    I am in the pureed food part of post-op. I don't know what its like yet to be full. Because I puree everything, it's liquid and there-fore, I don't feel full. I'm not putting in garbage: It's mainly...
  21. Re: Almost 8 weeks post op and I have not lost weight in 2 weeks!! Help is this normal?? is it normal to plateau??
