Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season and had a great Christmas! I enjoyed mine, probably too much, as the scale is creeping up to numbers I haven't seen in a few years. I would have...
I like the 45 calories (smaller version) Yasso frozen yogurt bars ,the chocolate fudge is yummy. Babybel with mustard dipping sauce, I find the spicy snacks help alleviate the sweet tooth, 4 caramel...
I love spaghetti squash, baked with little pepper and olive oil; take out the strands and put sauce and/or meat sauce. Acorn squash is great cooked in the oven, dig out the squash inners, and then...
I personally believe it's a challenge to stay hydrated and sometimes no matter how much I drink, even up to 80 ounces; that my urine still could look dark:( I just think it's a challenge to stay...
You're doing great and should be quite proud of your accomplishment!
I practice mindfulness around food and have to make conscious choices about food.
I also walk the stairs a few times per day at work,and stretch throughout the day. I also skip one meal per day during the week, start out each Monday with a protein shake, and "reframe" my head...
hookeydad, great job! Glad to see you have a plan that's working and I'm sure you can adjust, adapt, and change at any time as needed! Continued success:)
I would just be mindful of "eating whatever you want" for too long; it's a slippery slope. Even if you can only consume fewer calories, but those calories are not the "healthiest" choices, you can...
It happens to lots of us and others. Take your inches because sometimes the body stops losing the pounds while it's losing inches. Switch up the routine a bit and add another level of fitness to...
Beautiful pictures, beautiful lady, and thanks for sharing!
I would suggest going back on the pre op diet or a couple of weeks drinking a protein shake twice a day, 1 sensible meal with only a small amount of healthy carbs, and 2 snacks, i.e., sf jello,...
sraebaer, I was hoping to hear retirement is "everything and then some"! I am getting mixed reviews from others I know that are retired. I really am looking forward to no schedule, getting up at 5...
Congratulations, Annie G, but then I knew you'd get back on track! Way to go:)
True words, Janny, AMEN!!
Janny, I can't even imagine doing that and am so impressed by your experience! I love the pictures and scenery; I personally commend you for undertaking such a trip to that environment and turning...
Welcome to the "Losers' Bench", Lakeshia; you'll love the journey!
Welcome to "being back on track". As all these wise ladies said, maintenance is not a walk in the park, although walking in the park does help:) I'm 8 1/2 years out and finding maintenance to be...
The surgery isn't "magic" the head-games we play around food need to be addressed. If you think the comforting pleasure of eating those foods just go away, they don't, get counseling, join a...
kenson, what a great picture of you! You have a stunning smile:) Pretty in and out!!
There have been many studies on bariatric surgery being done on teens and under recently and they have shown that it's very successful and has even reversed Juvenile diabetes in some patients. It is...
Continued success and welcome!
Great topic, kenson!
1. Weigh daily, and not eat any "junk" during the week. Start off each Monday with a protein shake and try to breathe before mindlessly "grabbing food"
2. Non-fat Greek...
We recommend Bariatric Advantage, you can order them online.
Ask for something for acid reflux or buy something over the counter. Sometimes the acid mimics hunger and can be a real "head game." Expect the pain to be mostly gas and walking, breathing deeply,...
Depends on what type of job, but I had a desk job and went back in 9 days after surgery. I believe "normalizing" your routine as quickly as possible, sets you up for success, albeit; the "normal" is...
kenson, good thread! I actually buy candy that I don't like or sometimes I go to a friend's house and give out their candy. I usually wait till the day after Halloween as I have a "promise to...
