Nita,

You rock! Great work!

Good suggestions! I also have had good luck with dry roasted edamame for something crunchy, and somersaults crackers too. These both have some carbs in addition to protein, so may not be...

That is an amazing milestone. You should be very very proud!

I have a good friend who is following the paleo or caveman diet, I think it is similar to what this guy advocates at least in the food area. It has been really good for my friend, he dropped about...

I like strong bitter tastes, so keep that in mind.

I found salmon (the kind you put on bagels - small soft pieces) and fried eggs (canola oil spray) to be one of the first things I could get in. ...

That's cool! Just noticed in your ticker that you are about to break into onederland :)

I wish I could quote all the previous comments, but that would get pretty lengthy.

What a wonderful, candid, blunt (in a good way) group of folks here on the forum.

All I could think of when I...

Wow Monica, what a difference - you look fantastic and almost to goal too!

So awesome Lisa, big congratulations!

I will be falling out of the obese category in 11 more pounds, given my current plodding pace of weight loss that may take two more months, but either way I...

Toni,

SO glad they caught it early. With your great attitude and resolve (look at your results with the sleeve!) You got this!

Oh, that sounds really yummy. I will try to make that, I really miss eggplant parmesan.

My surgeon's office sent us home with a kit that included Unjury powders in several different flavors and a big variety of Bariatric Advantage vitamins. I thought they were both good, but now I get...

Rose, fyi we love to grill too - we grill asparagus but we lay down some foil first or use one of the grilling baskets. Especially in summer we grill almost everything so we don't heat up the house...

Asparagus and bacon? Yum!

As others have said, you can truthfully say that you are doing it with changes in your diet, keeping count of your calories every day, and omitting certain foods from your diet (breads rice pasta and...

Thanks Anissa and Monica, wow you two are really kicking butt!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I just reviewed my graph again. Some of my stalls were longer than two months, and I find that I chase 5 lbs up and down the scale for several weeks now before it...

Jake,

I think this would be an excellent idea and I think you would have a great target audience. Not only those that have had some sort of stomach alteration, but also folks that want to eat...

You are welcome Marlene! Great work so far, I look forward to you reporting your progress too!

excellent post and one I will recommend in the future. Some people don't want to hear this, but we all need to. Eating healthy is not impossible, and sometimes it is more convenient to make less...

Yours on myfitnesspal? when you are logged in to...

I was on myfitnesspal the other day and was looking at my weight loss report. Given all the questions about stalls, I thought some of you might find it interesting. Here is a graphic tracking my...

So, how did it go?

I remember sadly giving up my favorite jeans belt that I had been wearing for many years, when it started wrapping around my side to my back. Your local clothing donation store will get to know you...

Thanks for doing this right and blazing a path for the rest of us to follow, what an incredible achievement!
