I've discovered a little trick that helps me. I buy Blue Diamond sea salted roasted Almonds. I put 2 in my mouth and I basically suck on them like candy until the skins soften. One on one side one on the other. Once the sling is peeled off I have shave of a tiny tiny piece and I grind it into nothing with my front teeth. Lasts me along time. It almost gives me the satisfaction of a chip or cracker. I can get thru the day with about six almonds. Yes, I am weird but it works really well.

And I want to sit in a restaurant booth!!!

I'm totally okay with it. It's frustrating but it doesn't deter me one bit. Just roll with the punches.

I've had macadamia nuts one time. I ate the whole can and thought I was going to die. It was the equal to eating a stick of butter.

I used to have a recipe for the cinnamon coated almonds. It used Splenda and egg whites and cinnamon I think. They were so good. They have cocoa almonds in stores. Low sugar but I find them to be much less tender than plain roasted almonds. I love the Wasabi and soy almonds but it's way too much sodium for me.

Thanks! I was not expecting that reply. I figured people would be repulsed and some may be. It is very satisfying to me. It's not going to add many calories or fat. I usually rub the salt off too.

Is that near Detroit?

I'm 8 mths post op. I never had the three week stall. I'm having an 8 th month stall, almost 2 weeks. Frustrating!!!

Today was a wonderful day. My child came home from the service. I was a nervous wreck, have hardly eaten anything. Had maybe 3 bites of a burger w no bun. I drank enough. I made vegetable beef soup and picked out the meat and broth. I get stressed, I physically can not eat. It is the strangest thing. Gonna try again. Thanks gang.

In the the thumb lol.

I have a friend in OZ. If she can't get something there she orders it, sends it to me in the states, than I send it to her.

4th month to 7th month. Hair stopped falling out when I had 14 inches cut off...weird.

My psych was part of the team too. I've never heard of having to see just a regular psych for WLS. Hang in there, you've got this!

Yes, today is a new day. I'm going to make it a better day. I will shower and dress and put my headphones in and pound the pavement. No, I do not work, I have MS and some other issues. Thanks guys. I wish I had a walking buddy.

I have no motivation. I never showered nor left my pjs today. That means I did not walk. I'm really down in the dumps. I want to do better tomorrow. Ugh. 8 mths post op sleeve. 97 lbs. Help!

2 cups of heavy cream??? Yikes that's expensive, it better be darned tasty!!!

I buy those single serve packs of Blue Diamond roasted/sea salt almonds. A pkg lasts a day or more. I nibble on them through the day after I wipe salt off of them.

I had waist length hair 7 years ago. My marriage was falling apart on top of it I found out I had MS. They shots were causing fevers and it was already 90 t. So being the spontaneous girl I am, I cut off my ponytail. Screwed it up. Got out the clippers with the guard which decided to fall off. I scalped myself! I had to continue on. I was bald. Bald. It was great, no hair in my face, lol. I got pity looks because people assumed I'd either a. Gotten sick or B. Lost my mind...we will stick with that. It's just hair. It's grown probably at least 3 feet in 7 years. I had 14 inches cut of last month. Ta dah! No more hair loss, not like when my hair was heavy and long. Just sharing my "it could be worse story!"

My hair started falling out from months 4-7. I had waist long hair which I had cut off. I'm not noticing it now. I have noticed around my face I have these little sprouters. All different lengths. I wasn't too worried at first because I had a lot of hair but towards the end of the loss, I noticed it thinning. Didn't like THAT! Idk if it's the new style (graduated Bob) or not. It will stop and while its disturbing, it's hair and it will grow back!

NOOO! Do NOT leave this site! You're dr sounds like he needs a course in bedside manner. What an ass! You are an inspiration to so many of us! So you have some issues you were playing on, they can be dealt with. However and I don't know how much you've lost but hell, there would be far more issues there. Say picking out your burial plot. Hang in there, we are all here for you!!! Hugs!

I am 8 mths post op and and am in a depressed state. I have zero energy. All I want to do is sleep. I stopped taking vitamins along time ago so I don't know if that's part of it or not. Really feel like I'm screwing up.

I googled some sugar free hot chocolate recipes but do to lack of some ingr. I had to make due with what I had. I don't know the calories, fat, carbs or Protein, I just want it sf. I used the dried milk I had on hand 1 1/2 pkgs 1 cup sf non dairy chocolate creamer dry 1/2 cup Splenda A heaping 1/4 cup of Hersheys special dark cocoa I tossed it together in a gallon ziplock bag. 2-3 tbsps to a mug of boiling Water You may want to add more Splenda because it's not nearly as sweet as Swiss Miss sf. Enjoying a cup now!

Oops and I used chocolate coffee mate sf. Found it at Walmart with the non dairy creamers. The dry milk is non fat.

chocolate makes everything better lol

I am forcing myself to stay on my feet. Thanks all for your support. I've been more productive today than in the last few weeks. I may even walk! Hugs!!!
