    Trader Joes in my town!

    erp replied to artymama's topic in Food and Nutrition

    Oh so much to choose from! I love their already cooked and cleaned frozen shrimp as well as their tuna in curry sauce. I have also been scarfing down various flavors of goat cheese too. I also snack on the raw cashew pieces and buy Think Thin bars there.

    Same thing happens to me after too many sugar-free Ice Breaker Sours. It starts with the rumbling intestines and then....oye!

    So much change is right! I still struggle with portions and overeating but it has all been so worth it!

    Just a quick update. Finally broke another zero and am in the 150s- 20 lbs to go! Starting to squeeze into size 8 but 10s are still comfy. Here's a pic from the weekend. The red dress is flowey but it still said "small" on the label! Who would have thought that the word small and I would ever be in the same sentence? How's everyone else doing?

    Best thing I have ever done. Pondering what to wear today because I have so many fabulous choices. Life is good. :-)

    I braided mine right before surgery. It helped keep my routine simple.

    No BM for WEEKS! HELP!

    erp replied to nashiemmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I find eating a serving of high fiber cereal helps keep me regular. I stir All Bran into my Greek yogurt. I also use fiber gummies as well.

    Cant poop!

    erp replied to Hunter's topic in The Guys’ Room

    Dulcolax was my friend in the beginning. Now I eat All Bran Buds mixed into my yogurt to keep things moving.

    I'm hungry!

    erp replied to VivaDiva01's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    That's normal. The sleeve does not eliminate hunger forever in most people. I felt hunger when I was 4 weeks out and now every pound lost is hard work. Use this time well to get the weight off while you can still eat so little. Good luck.

    Constipation

    erp replied to Wendi Garcia's topic in Food and Nutrition

    Ducolax was a life saver for me for the first month and laxatives scare me. Once I was allowed regular food, I started eating All Bran Buds cereal with my Greek yogurt. When I eat it daily, I have few if any problems. Also the fake sweetener in those sugar-free Ice Breakers sours get me going. A couple of those get my intestines churning. You may discover foods that do that have that effect on you as you reintroduce foods.

    Please help

    erp replied to donaboss's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I don't have your insurance, so I don't know the answer to your question. There is an insurance thread on here where you might get a response.

    #1 for me was feeling like a bystander as life passed me by. I hated not doing the things that I wanted to do because I was embarrassed or unable to because of my size.

    You are not alone. I have some re-emerging bulimia issues too. It's a battle and it is hard to get back in control but we can do it. PM me if you are okay talking about it. -Erica
