mango and Mangu (mangoo) are two entirely different things. Which one are we talking about? mango is a fruit, originally from India and Mangu is a dominican dish of pureed green plantains flavored with bacon or pork grease, and spices. Both are super high in carbs. Done Did It!

60 pounds lost! Dos 10/3 Sw 242 W in dos 222 Cw 182

Oh my DOS was Oct 3

SW 242 DOS 222 CW 188 I eat pretty much anything. I dont like ground beef or shrimp (got sick early on with those). My husband is complaining my booty is getting too small. My booty...too small??? Everyone is noticing and complimenting me. Outside of a horrible cold I am suffering right now...in the words of James Brown "i feel good!"

Regular fat cheese. Peanutbutter. How far out are you? I have no problem getting protein or calories, but I am 8 weeks out.

I ate triskits. Threw out the box. Begone vile temptress!

Just weighed this morning. 186! Down 56 poumds since 9/12 , surgery date 10/3. Woop woop!!

I will be eating bout 4 ounces of turkey with gravy...wait...a tablespoon of my moms sausage stuffing wait..a slice of sweet potato wait...a tablespoon of her Puerto Rican rice with pigeon peas wait ... a half teaspoon of cranberry sauce wait ...a couple of green Beans wait...a 1/4 inch slice of my eight year old daughter's and my 76 year old mom's birthday cake. Should take me about 4 hours. Done Did It!

Just to addend my post, if someone struggling with weight issues asks, AND I know them well enough that they would respect my privacy, I would likely tell them about the surgery. I often see people on the street or in a building with weight issues and I want to run up to them and tell them the wonders of gastric sleeve surgery. But I know most would not receive a cold call like that very well. Done Did It!

20 pre op, + 30 post op. sleeved oct 3. Done Did It!

Me too.but I am trying different things with different results. I tried to eat the cheese off a slice of pizza today and it came right back up. Did eat some chicken in garlic sauce from the local asian place. Sat well felt good. I can eat 1 1/2 eggs, but i feel too full for a little while. I can usually eat 5 ounces of tuna salad or 3/4 of a chicken cultet. Beef and pork usually come up. Had some cheese tortalini, not bad. I love chicken wings without sauce. My stomach is hit or miss. Sometimes the smallest amount of food makes me vomit, sometimes food I fear might make me sick, feels good. I had my six week check yesterday lost 25 pounds, 46 all together. I dont eat simple carbs, but i dont obsess. I eat what I want, about 1/4 of what I would have eaten before. If it comes up, i dont try it again. Happy with my sleeve, still figuring out my limits.

Dies any one use this. I saw a video on FB and looks interesting.

Good video. I wish she had cooked chicken in it.

I'm back!! Well, my friends I am back from the Super Storm Sandy Aftermath. I had no power, heat, Water, phone, cable or internet for a week. Got it all back yesterday TG! It was rough, with 4 kids at home. We had a generator for the fridge, lamps, and hot plate, and the dvd player, bit our well pump is hardwired and we had no water. Shlepping 10-20 gallons of water a day just to wash dishes and flush potties. Oh god.. I had two gigantic trees (40 and 60 foot spruces) fall on each of my properties. one on my garage, and one on my deck. Not near as bad as family in Jersey. My daughter was evacuated from her NYU housing, with no ability to go anywhere because of flooded train tracks. Things are slowly getting back to normal. In the meantime, I have lost 23 pounds since my Oct 3 surgery, 43 pounds in all and My body is in Onederland!!!! 199 pounds today!!! Still having issues with stopping before I am full. Made myself sick these past 2 days. I just love the taste of food and it is so hard to stop myself. I don't chew well enough either. I am having a problem with my gums bleeding, pretty sure its low Vitamin c. I am awful about remembering to take my Vitamins, especially after this mess. I am glad I am back, for some support and pushing to do the right thing. My husband in front of half of the tree that fell on my deck. Done Did It!

Hey Greenwich! 8 am in stamford , got sleeved by Dr Craig Floch on Oct 3 Done Did It!

I love eggs, not egg whites alone (yuck). But os the protein to calorie ratio for Whole eggs worth it? I ate 2 eggs hardboiled 130 calories and about 11 g of protein. I can have a pire protein shake with 35 g protein and 160 calories.

You are right. Real food is better. I don't mind the shakes. They help my sweet tooth chocolate addiction. A lot of bang for the buck on protein as well.

On your tip toes and make sure you exhale first!lLOL
