No game

My only concern would be that I just read in another thread you started, that you are 4 months pregnant also?? At this point you are not able to fit much in your stomach. And now that you are pregnant it's even more important to that what little you take in is nutritious.

Lol!! She might have to get in line!

Middle off the road numbers to hit, 60 grams protein 64oz of fluid And below 50 grams of carbs..

See that's how I justify my Annie's ( I've been saying Amy's) goddess I don't use a full serving and it's got a great taste! It's got tahini in it yummy! Oh I like your new picture

Well you need to follow a specific routine! You can keep it real simple and just track your carb,protein and liquid intake for each day. On an app like my fitness pal..

I'll have to look next time I go! I felt guilty tonight with every tasty bite of salad with Annie's on it.

This is something that can happen to anyone of us and I hope that people see this thread and learn from it. We cannot do this alone. It's so much more than just having your stomach cut out.

I am hopeful that the person is checking in the hospital within the next few days....

Oh the protein bars!! Those will be the death of us! I had to eat all of mine just to get rid of them! Hehehe... On a good note they are gone and I will not be buying them by the box anymore at costco, just to tempting and easy

Haha.. My nana used to say that about Oreo Cookies (my favorite cookie) to me! And used to tell her "I don't care if they were made out of rat guts, I like em" But she and you are right and I'm sitting pretty today not even thinking about ice cream! Hey my nana used to tell me I was one "smart cookie" too! What the??? Was she saying I was as dumb as lard?

If you have a choice I would do it right before! You will be on the pre op diet. But I think that will be easier than right after when your diet is still very limited but you will also be in a bit of pain and will tire easily... Barring no unforeseen complications that is.

Haha!! There is still a LOT of me to go around!

Oh my!!! :oJust when I thought I've gone to far.. you one up me!! My oh my... Child you better hope this one gets buried right quick!

Girl, when have I not been serious??

That's a tough one! I had to excuse myself for the first couple of weeks because I felt the same way. And it was to hard to be around food. Luckily my husband took over for a bit with cooking the meals at home. But in the first weeks I also was faced with having to go out to eat once or twice. I took the opportunity and ordered soup and spent my time enjoying the conversation.. If you do things like take them to the movies bring a pre made shake and sip on that.. It really helps.

Attitude is everything! this is a major change in lifestyle but that's what we signed up for! I'm not skipping for joy 24 hours a day. But it's the best thing I could of done for myself. I am off of high blood pressure meds and I walked through life lighter in body and in mood. It's really different being in public now... It's easy, and conversation comes easier there is no longer this big anti social suit of fat barring me from being part of normal life.. It will be a bit painful and there will be baby tantrums (at least there was in my case) But there will be health and happiness with yourself waiting on the other side Good luck to you this week!

What a deal.

I wonder how much that book she's selling costs..

Don't get mike started on his tacos!
