Dos- 10/2/12 Sw-250 Cw- 199 My goal was 50 lbs by Christmas... Christmas morning I was 199 ! So excited... loving my new body (and so is my husband) getting sleeved was a great decision! Now on to the next 50! : )

Where can I buy Boars head deli meat and cheese at? I see a lot of people talking about it on here and would really like to get some. Thanks for any advice...

Does anyone know if dill pickles would be ok when I get to solids.... I have been making a list of foods... I know that do not have any protein. But they have 0 fat. Just curios...thanks!

Thanks! that what I Was thinking...but hadn't asked my doc yet so thought I would ask here .... I love pickles!

I've read a lot of post about 1. How good it is and 2. That is is leaner and a bit healthier than other meats and cheeses... I just had never heard of it and thought I would give it a try when I get to that stage in my diet.

Thank y'all!

I'm in Texas... I've never even heard of it till I started reading about it on this site. Thanks!

I did not have a pre-op diet either just nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery. My doc said everything went great. I'm 7days post-op and I actually feel good today... I have 1 more day off and I will be back at work. I have been on nothing but clear liquids... it has been challenging only because I have a husband and 3 kids who eat all the things I love, but I want to succeed at this, so I just find something to do when I start thinking of food. And as of today I'm down 18 lbs ... which has made this week well worth it! Good Luck to you.

Weight before Surgery 250 Date of surgery 10/01/12 Current weight 233 Goal weight for competition 210 This is my first challenge... a week out of surgery and I love reading everyones post... they have helped me a lot! Thanks!

I was sleeved on Monday 10/01/12... as of today I am down 14 lbs. The hardest thing for me has been the clear liquid diet. Today my husband and kids had pizza and hot wings for dinner.... at first I felt angry that they were eating in front of me foods Im unable to eat, but then I realized that I'm the one who chose to have the surgery done, not them. They should not have to change the little this gs they enjoy because of me. I decided to get up and take a shower and it helped... it got my mind off of the food and I was fine after the shower. I know there are going to be many struggles along the way, but I also know I can do this. This is for a greater good... a long healthy life so I can enjoy my family. Any suggestions for alternative clear liquids would be appreciated... water, broth, tea, s/f jello is starting to get redundant ... I need a flavor change.

Thanks for yalls responses.... I am on liquid for at least 10 more days also... I'm def gonna try suger free snow-cones! And my family as a whole has made healthy changes or for the most part eat healthy already. Fridays are our order out nights and I just don't want them to have to change that. My husband and 3 kids have very active lifestyles and are very healthy.... momma is just getting on board. Thanks for talks suggestions.
