Where are you from? Because going to the link you provided showed me this I'm guessing that different product sources play into this.

According to their nutrition info that order has 90 calories 22 carbs and 9grams of protein Not that I'm addicted to them or anything either. (I go for the small though otherwise I feel a bit icky after )

Wendy's now has Half Size salads...Easier on the pocket book ($3-$4) Healthy, and tasty....and still too much food for my sleeve!

We always had these growing up but with a green onion (scallion) inside. :yummy

Curious what your average caloric intake is at 3 + months out. I feel like I'm eating a lot more calories than the average sleever. I average 800-1000 per day 20-40 grams of carbs 80-100grams of Protein...fats kind of a wild card. 30-60 grams per day... Is this ok? I'm still losing on average 4lbs per week though it's slowed down some as my food intake has increased. (was 4.75 lbs per week at first) Having a stall every 3wks or so for 7-10days. I'm trying not to freak or get over worried. I've lost 40lbs since surgery which also seems to be a bit on the slower side than average...

Awesome!

Wow....

Diabetes diets arent' really about Sugar content. IT's about total CARBS. A packet of plain instant oatmeal has 16 carbs in it. The sugar free Maple and Brown sugar variety has 18 carbs in it. So you can see just because it's sugar free doesn't mean jack. I'd advise you to check your blood sugar fasting. If your fasting glucose is over 120 that indicates Diabetes. If it is over 100 but under 120 you may be looking at pre-diabetes that may resolve as you continue to lose weight and become more active. HTH>

Dehydrated...and possibly in need of somethng a bit more substantial than bacon and vodka

FWIW the PPI's made me extremely nauseous

Sounds like low blood sugar. Could you drink some juice as soon as you get up and see if that helps? You could even keep it next to the bed so you don't have to go far.

I don't want to lose my T either!!! My Bio Mom had RnY in the 90's she went from an F cup to an A cup. I don't want an A CUP!!!!! I loved my Full C Small D's when I was thinner...hoping I get to keep them about that size.

so i went shopping on Saturday for new under clothes and popped into another store nearby to try to find some capri's or shorts for the family vacation that is coming up in 2wks. I grabbed the 4x's and the 3x's and on a whim a 2x capri's I laughed at myself putting the 4x "Safe" pants on they were SO loose and baggy! I totally skipped over the 3x's and grabbed the 2x's...took a deep breath stepped in and began to pull them up fully expecting to have to stop at my thighs or do a shimmy wiggle booty skooch to get them over my hips. They fit. Not only do they fit. They are a bit baggy in the seat. I ran out and grabbed 2 more pairs of 2x bottoms in different brands/styles they ALL fit...they weren't baggy and they weren't flattering but they fit! I'm now the proud owner of 1 pair of slightly baggy 2x capris and 3 2x shirts to go with the capris. Next up was the plus size bra and underwear store. I got measured...46DD down from a 52DDD/F I bought 4 bras I also bought 22/24 size panties one size down (and that size I had to do the shimmy wiggle booty skooch to get up and then the elastic would threaten to snap ) They fit perfectly No more Shimmy Wiggle Booty Skooch in the dressing room!!!! All you ladies KNOW that move right??

I have T and A (go do a search on youtube dance 10 looks 3 from a chorus line ) when fat so I get the looks and comments regardless especially from black guys I'm NOT looking forward to any more attention.

Yep, the nurses will go raid Labor and Delivery for the lovely Net Undies and Granny Pads.

I'm so annoyed! I gained 3lbs! I know it's rebound from being sick (kidney infection) But it's really disheartening to see :-( So back to the grind charting food (just in case I'm screwing myself somewhere along the line!) thinking about cutting all non-produce carbs, I have my 12wk followup in 10 days hoping to be back on track and losing well again.

You may try wiping your underarms with rubbing alcohol every 2-3 days to kill any bacteria. Also More deodorant is not the answer. The ingredients in antipersperant/deodorant can actually cause your body to increase production of oils and sweat.

I ate the toppings off last week :-D It was good. Who needs the crust anyway??? LOL

B-Uh I forget what I ate..I think it was chicken S- Protein Bar (32grams of protein) L- Chicken and bacon salad (1.5oz of chicken breast 1 strip of bacon ranch flavored greek yogurt a little bit of broccoli slaw and green onion YUMMERS) S- More bacon D- Planning to pick up some fresh ground beef (texas longhorn BABY!) at the farmers market to make sloppy joe lettuce cups with Lots and Lots of Water

as my very good friend would say "Just goes to show you that human medicine doesn't have a whole lot to do with evidence"

Here is my standard grocery list... Boneless Skinless chicken breasts Lean ground meat (I get Ground Turkey 93/7...please for the love of all that is holy do NOT buy Turkey in a Tube...blech blech blech) Finely shredded cheese Cottage cheese (I get the 2%) Greek Yogurt (0% fat any flavor and plain) Sour Cream eggs Light Mayo/Miracle Whip Ranch salad dressing powder packets (I mix a little with cottage cheese to eat straight up and yogurt or sour cream for dips) Peanut Butter (or any nut butter really) Canned veggies (cause sometimes they go down better than raw or frozen) Canned Beans V8/Cambells boxed Soups (I like the butternut and broccoli varieties Yum) No Salt Added Chicken Stock (I like Kitchen Basics unsalted, or Pacific Organic unsalted) Tuna (The foil packets of flavored tuna rock my socks off...also the Bumblee bee tuna Thai Chili is awesome!) Crackers (yeah carbs but sometimes I need something crunchy to eat with tuna!)

I had ceseareans one of which was under general. I can tell you that the pain after the VSG was a cake walk compared to a cesarean.

Whoot! Excuse my messy house I'm embarrassed for the lady in the photos. Then I remember that it's me Taken a couple of months before surgery consult Taken 2wks after surgery Taken this morning
