No game

and if your doing soft foods try protien it will give you more of a full feeling. try something like meatloaf or a turkey pattie canned tuna is also good

a good rule of the thumb is a 1/4 cup at a time

What stage are you on? Full liquids or purée?

I'm in a simple mood today... So I will give a simple opinion I think it's a combo of things, people sometimes like to gloss over the downsides when they have their heart set on something... I've seen many times when someone comes here in the "hoping" Stages and reads something they don't like or someone gives them info that they don't want to hear they say something like "well hopefully that won't happen to me" and then totally disregard it. Even call the posters a buzz kill or negative! Also the doctors, can you say big business? They often have a nut and a psychologist that they refer to. These people for the most part collect their money and give you the green light. I mean have you ever read about someone being denied for not being mentally prepared?? I may be wrong.. I would love to know if someone has ever NOT passed the psychological test.

Fiddle I just got back from the farmers market! Yummy! Sample heaven.... I had different kinds of smoked salmon goat cheese to die for, fruit and almonds! Gotta love the free lunch

Depends on where your going... But we have a place that makes a spicy seafood soup ". Octopus, scallops shrimp, crab yummy! But how about a steak or chicken burrito without the rice and just eat the inside

I thought that losing slow would lessen it... I just hit 60 pounds in almost 6 months ... But you know what! It's not that bad, it's a small price to pay and it's not so bad. I'm not hiding in the house or anything! Please don't let this minor thing stress you out

For those of you that find it just to tiring to get in your car and go to the drive through. 0_o

I just saw a news story.. Yes I'm sitting my lazy ass in front of the news right now But it's a pilot program in big city's. LA, San Fran Etc..

It's a good thing I suck at cooking or I would be 700 pounds!!

A showdown!!!

Fiddle walk away from the crisp!! If I can't have some neither can you!! Oh and fresh baked bread MY DOWNFALL!! There is a place in Pescadero that sells artichoke garlic herb bread that they continuously bake all day.. Our favorite thing to do is to pick up a hot loaf and go to the beach o_o Won't be doing that for a while

Umm I'm almost 47 I haven't lost a ton yet but there will be flappy skin for me. I was cleaning my coral tanks yesterday in a tank top.. can you say bat wings ! Haha! that's a pretty picture! Bald and flappy

If it gets too bad I'm just going to buy those hair fibers that a few girls here have used, because its only temporary and I love my hair But it's not gotten to that stage yet.

It was kinda unbelievable how much came out in my hands everyday but its slowing down now, I'm almost 6 months. I can really notice! But everyone else tells me they can't, But my family is sick of seeing it all over the bathroom

You can do everything right (Vitamins Protein etc) And it will still happen to most of us I started at four months and it was pretty scary! Oh I know it was in my pre op paper work, I had to sign a document stating that I understood this.

Umm... It would be my dream fantasy to look that good after all of this is said and done !

I applaud you on your success with your weight loss, thank you for sharing something that is obviously painful for you. I think you look awesome and much more healthy. I hope that you can get the insurance company to change their minds and give you an approval for this procedure.

Moi??

Ha! So this morning I made breakfast for the kids, my husbands breakfast I make before I go to be because he gets up a 4:30. But today I was up with him anyway because of not feeling well, So we talked about what he wanted for dinner! I also make lunches for the kids everyday.. And yes I am the designated house to be after school for all the boys "because I'm the best mom in the world" according to some of them! I have my coral tanks and also make and plant pottery (hypertufa) for the garden.. But good points my dear I think it's time to branch out more!

From my post today on "wagon thread" Obsessive thinking! So I never tried my plain yogurt last night because I'm sick as a dog and watch out I'm a big cry baby when I'm sick... I pouted when my husband went to work in the ER this morning, Why do they get his care, not me! Anyway can't eat... BUT IT HAS NOT STOPPED ME FROM THINKING ABOUT FOOD! I think about all day all night, if I wake up in the middle of the night I think about it, I think about it more than I've ever eaten it (thank god I'd be 1000lbs) I torture myself thinking about it.. I need to think about why I think about it.. How many years of therapy and its still not figured out.
