Sweets for me is the most slippery slope, even more so than salty foods. So you ate the cake, I have been known to buy those mini cakes or cookie dough just to eat them (yes, after surgery since...
Grace, I have not had another EGD but please let us know what's going on! I'll be thinking about you on Thursday, hang in there!!
I can eat more than I did right after surgery. Also, my restriction is tighter in the morning. It is still about choices. I gained weight from making bad food choices (popcorn, chips & salsa,...
Shirley,
I just came back to this forum after taking a little detour in life and gaining 17 lbs. I also am 2 years out (in August) and feel your pain! I also love popcorn-- the salty, crunchy...
At my lowest I weighed 172 so I was down 53 lbs. I slipped into some of my bad habits and gained some weight back when life got in the way. I don't think I'm typical but this is where I'm at. I'm...
I'm 2 years out in August and there is still restriction....depending on the food. When I eat protein, I can probably eat a 6 oz burger (max) but popcorn or pretzels (slider foods) I seem to be able...
Way to go!!! Congrats!
I drank coffee every morning before surgery and cut it out about a week prior to my surgery. I can no longer drink regular coffee. The acid kills me, when I drink it there is a growling feeling in...
I had surgery with Dr. Hoehn in September! Be happy to talk with anyone about my experience.
Congrats, Amy!
I have Calorie Counter on my Android phone (free app). What I love about it is the food scanner. You can scan a barcode and it will load in the nutritional information for you. :)
Fat Secret is...
I'm going to speak on this one from my personal experience. I was sleeved Aug 31 and since December, have remained at about 50 lbs gone which is great but for 2 months I haven't seen the scale move...
I found a tanning place that does weekly spray tan packages for Versa-spa tan. It turns out natural looking and lord knows everything looks better with some color! Costs me $43 a month. I was a...
I'm 10 weeks out and I'm still cold and winter is just on the way. I guess it's true that the extra layer of fat really does keep you warm! I'll take a sweater or sleepin' in flannel jammies to...
Michelle, best of luck to you and your husband!
Well, it did not make me feel bad, did not bother my stomach or cause me any other ill effects (damn it!) I am with you about the love of popcorn, love, love, love it. It was good but I also...
John, so sorry to read your story but VERY happy that you are not in any pain! I also have to believe that your weight loss journey will only help with pain control down the road. I say go get a...
I weigh the first thing every morning- and don't freak out if I gain a bit (up to a pound). In fact, if I've been hovering around the same weight for a few days I might skip a day or two. Relax,...
Rae, you might be single but you're not alone...we're all here with ya! :)
Not my recipe, taken from Dana Carpender's 500 Low-Carb Recipes. Lucky for me, one of the zillion diets I've tried was low carb, I've got bunches of books!
1 egg
1/4 C ricotta cheese
2 T...
<---------- craves salt too!
I agree with Michelleb, I used the shakes as liquid. I also froze whatever I could not drink and "ate" it later as it thawed. It was a more enjoyable way for me to get protein and my tummy liked...
Good for you, Gina! Maybe in slowing down we taste things now and realize they were never that great!
Well, I knew it would happen eventually...the slip. After almost 2 months of being a saint, tonight, I polished off an entire bag of microwave popcorn. Ok, you're thinking, prolly one of those 100...
