    Lost 29.8 lbs & nobody can tell :(

    I was at a family get together after I lost 40 lbs. Nobody said a thing even though they knew about my surgery. Later I asked my dad if he noticed my weight loss. He said I looked great but he didn't want to say anything because he was afraid he would embarrass me. I think people might be doing the same to you.

    need suggestions.....

    I like Hardtimes beef jerky. Satisfies my salt craving with a protein boost.
  3. I cant stand the taste of my protein drink now. It used to taste like chocolate milk. Now it tastes like a liquid vitamin.
  4. I'm looking forward to: Sitting in a lawn chair without worrying it will break Fitting into an airplane seat--I want to visit the UK next year Wearing regular clothing that's not from the fat lady store Wearing a pony tail without looking so round faced I work from home so I can't wait for the next "in office" meeting to see the faces of my co-workers at the sight of skinnier me Being as small as my sister and sisters-in-law Weighing less than my hubby Wearing the tennis bracelet I'm buying when I reach goal

    Need Help with Protein Please...

    I like a ham and cheese roll up with a little low fat mayo. I also like the small prepared meatballs in the frozen food section. You can use a little mustard or some marinara sauce for dipping. I like my plain Greek yogurt with a classic orange crystal light mixed in. Tastes kinda like orange sherbet. Good luck with your journey. You'll find something to your liking in the posts here. I'm learning a few new ideas myself!
  6. I am sure I had dumping syndrome yesterday after eating a scoop of ice cream at an outdoor music festival. It hit me like a ton of bricks about fifteen minutes after I ate. Nausea, tired and sick. Could barely get up to leave the park. Had to run to the bathroom and felt better right after that. I'll never eat ice cream again. That's the first sweet I've had in three months so I'm sure that's what happened.

    What do I tell people?

    Mrs CT--some people have said hernia repair has a similar recovery time as sleeve surgery. I told my office it was a "woman thing". That shuts them up.
  8. My sister in law said "you let them just throw your stomach in the trash?". I have lost 44 lbs in 8 weeks. No mention about how much better I look and feel. get other support though.

    Started documentation

    My doctor mentioned the fact that my droopy tummy gets caught in the zipper of my pants.
  10. I also have a desk job and went back to work in 3 weeks. I probably could have done 2 weeks. But I was still tired and just spent week 3 napping, learning how to eat, take vitamins/supplements on a regular schedule and I started my exercise then. I am 52 years old and maybe the younger folks recover faster but 3 weeks was perfect for me.

    First Time eating out

    My eyes are still bigger than my stomach. I usually eat four bites of whatever I order. DH and I don't usually split because we have different tastes. So I have leftovers for the next couple of meals. Eating out is a little stressful because I "want" to eat what I used too. I'm still distinguishing between real hunger and head hunger.

    Six Months Pics 103lbs down

    You look so much younger and happier. What an inspiration you are to us newbies. Keep it up!
  14. I had cramping above belly button on left side nearedt my biggest incision at about three weeks. Really scared me so I called the doctors office. They told me it was normal because of the muscles they cut and possibly a nerve giving me problems. I think you should call your doc just to put your mind at ease.
