Failure

Hey all. I'm about to hit my 1 year surgerversary! I've lost 110 lbs and have 70 more to go. I'd love if someone would message me in the area and we could talk face to face. If you are close enough maybe we can meet up and go for walks or something. I need to get exercising! Please message me so it is easier. I live in Gainesville area!

NurseGrace hit it on the money on what I was trying to say. While better than white rice, it is not something you have to avoid necessarily but there are lots more better alternatives. Complex carbs are controversial in whether they are ok or not. In my dieting postop (or should I say healthier food choices as I don't really "Diet") I just try to eat things in moderation if it's not entirely dubbed a health food (like lean meats, veggies, etc). Here is a website I found for you all to get a better feel for what I mean. http://diaryofanutritionist.com/2010/04/23/rice-white-vs-brown-good-vs-bad/

I think it is better in terms of what rices are better than others, but I was told by my NUT that there are no rice or pastas that are really that great for you in terms of carbs, there are better things to spend your intake on. I have rice here or there but I really don't bother with it. I try to just keep focused on all the things I know are good and just use things that are just in the middle okay on a sparing basis.

Hey all. I did not have my surgery in GA but I had it in FL. I live in Gainesville, GA but this Atlanta post is the closest I've found right now. I'm 6.5 months out and 83 pounds down. From 353 to 270. I am 5'3". I feel I have a pretty decent grip on keeping the weight loss consistent. If anyone wants a buddy/mentor, please msg me. We can either email or we can text if you prefer. I love talking about the sleeve!!

Thank you so much! It really means a lot. I hope to get a more wider base of followers, I like to follow blogs also but I'm not sure how to go about connecting with others who have one. I guess just by googling, hehe. I'm not that great at "networking".

Hey everyone. Long time no see! Sorry, I just have so many different things to do online that I just can't get around to them all. I still lurk around a bit but just don't have much time to post. I belong to 2 support groups on facebook that I frequent but I also just started my very own blog. I've recently made a new acquaintance, Holly over at www.300poundsdown.com and during our correspondence she suggested I should start a blog. At first I did not like the idea but over the weekend I really thought about it a lot and decided maybe it's not such a bad idea. So I did it. I made a blog and I was wondering if anyone would like to connect with me and get the word across. I'd like to follow anyone but other blogs as well related to WLS that use blogger/blogspot. Feel free to follow me and I'll follow right back no matter what kind of blog you have! My blog is Weight Loss: My Version and the link is http://www.my-version.org

Feel free to follow me and I'll follow right back no matter what kind of blog you have! But I wasn't sure where this would be appropriate to post so I'm so so sorry if this is not the appropriate place. I tried to see if there was a section for people to post links to their WLS related sites specifically but did not see one right off. My blog is Weight Loss: My Version and the link is http://www.my-version.org Thanks for reading Hope you all are faring well!

This is not showing for me, can someone post the link for me or PM it to me please?

Wow Pony, that gives me lots of hope. I was 340 on the day I went home from surgery and am at 319 now. I want to be below 300 so bad because I haven't been for years. It will be a victorious day and will only motivate me even more. 19 lbs to go!!!

I think the kind I got is semi firm? It wasn't the most firmest one but it wasn't the soft.

I'm having trouble figuring out a good way to eat tofu during my puree stage. It's on my list for puree and soft food stages both, but how do I prepare it and staying within puree boundaries? What could I try? Please help!

Isn't it awesome? I am 11 days after surgery now and losing roughly 2.5 lbs a day. Had a few days where I didn't lose anything but it's been averaging 2.5 a day otherwise. So far.

What about carbonated water like soda water or Voss water? I am not one for soda, I haven't been for years. But I do like voss water on occasion and it's just basically a carbonated flavorless water.

Im so sorry for not seeing these replies! Idk why but I never got notifications. How are u doing? We had surgery on the same day I think. Are u doing ok?
