aj is my hero and BFF

Great start, it isn't just about losing fat, it is about getting healthy and exercise it a really big part of that.

AMEN, Sister!! Hoops are last thing we need. Not like this is just a passing thought to have major surgery. Do they have any idea how serious it must be for anyone to come to this decision? I will hopefully get a surgery date on Feb 21 and be on my way, but until then it's a waiting game. Good luck to you!!

Great article AJ... nice way to pay it forward.

Congratulations. My surgery is this Friday! Praying that everything turns out good for us February sleevers!

Where are you on your level? Regular food or soft food? I mix it up every day pretty much, but I have my standbys: Special K protein cereal (sometimes with 1/2 banana), 2 servings of skim milk/day, 4 wheat thins w/ 1 oz pepper jack cheese, 2% cottage cheese w/ fruit mixed in, pure protein bars, greek yogurt smoothies, flat out "chips" with salsa or hummus. Today I'm having: B: 1/2 cup special K w/ 1/2 c skim milk L: 1/2 serving of leftover meatloaf D: small bowl of leftover chicken stew (MIL recipe- even better the next day) Snacks: 12 oz skim milk, 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese with no sugar added mandarin oranges, flatout chips with salsa for dipping I don't alwys eat what I have dished out- usually there's leftovers. I am 8 weeks out today- will be adding salads and nuts here in about a week- can't wait to make my own trail mix. I am not a no-or super low carb fanatic- I eat some carbs. My weight loss has been fine, I think. 37 lbs in 8 weeks. Total weight loss: 67 lbs -Kendra
