You are very funny. I am sorry you're having a bad day. I hate blood so don't show me any. You can have my snow and the snow that is coming back tomorrow.

No snow in NC!

Thank you for the great laugh. Sorry to hear you're having a bad morning. Throw a snow ball at someone you hate and you'll feel better.

Maybe it would help if you got a little creative with the things you are allowed...make mini casseroles (or atleast where it feels like a casserole)....like I use those little ramekins that you can bake in. The tiny little pyrex glass containers. You can put them in the oven or I use a toaster oven to cook in. Put some beans with cheese in one and bake it till cheese is bubbly...then u can use plain yogurt kinda like sour cream...I mix a little bit of taco bell salsa in it for flavor. Or make a Tuna Melt with your fish....same concept. At this point your wanting something different so dont be affriad to try things that sound kinda gross...like mix a little cream of brocolli soup with some tuna then a little cheese on top and bake it. Sounds nasty, but your getting a different flavor than the same old tuna all the time. Your only making 3-4 bites with your ingredients so if you hate it your not out much...try something else. Like mixing tuna and cheese to bake. Even make an egg bake...like a baby quiche. Scramble the egg....put in a little cheese or tuna and make a little bake. You can even use a microwave for these baby casserole bakes. Just try to come up with new ideas with what you have. Your doing great and its only going to get better as you can add more ingredients. Dont get in a rush...I know its frustrating...I still cannot eat anything I want...like fresh veggies...just to hard to digest...but I know I will someday...just like you will too!! Good luck!!

Congrats kime-lou! sounds like the green zone to me!

this was just funny to me and its sad at the same time as it is also is partially true as some of these questions are asked and you have to wonder, do they really listen to the seminar, the dr, the nutritionist or are they just going through the motions to have the surgery?? the magical surgery..its magical if you use this valuable surgery correctly. that choice is up the the person

Wow I agree!! 6 weeks out from surgery. Have lost 30 lbs since surgery. It is a struggle. I'm not sure why I thought this would be easy,but it definitely is not. I'm sure I would feel better if the sun would come out. Currently 2 weeks with no sun, UHG!!

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! You look FABULOUS!!!

I had the same problem, I needed to come up w/ 5 yrs weight loss history and I did not think I had it. THIS WAS A PPO, United Healthcare. I was so upset w/ this stupid rule. Fortunately for me, I had a trail of weight posting when I thought about it a little longer. I am embarresed to say, I get in a funk every year after Xmas. Even though I enjoy the holidays it is the big let down. I hope you get to the gym tomorrow. I am five months post op. for the first 3 months I was exercising but my mind would tell me " stay home, u r too tired, go tomorrow" and on & on this went. Well, I forced myself so many time that my head finally got out of the equation. I discovered no matter how tired or lousy I THINK I feel, I just stand up and get to the gym and every single time I feel better after the gym or snowshoeing or whatever I do to get moving. Fo for it!!!

I told everyone, but that is just me... I really didnt have any negative comments , everyone has been super positve and supportive!!! I am 3 months out and feel great down 80 lbs from a 26 to a 16 !! starting the gym tomorrow with a personal trainer .... I say just do this for you and who cares what others think !!! Good luck with your up coming surgery let us know how it goes
