we will girl we will!!!

when I went to my support group a few weeks ago I asked the same question. They said for optimal weight loss dont eat more than 20 carbs everyday is that right? I just did what they said because I dont really know..

I have my fitness pal but I dont get why you add people on it? is it not just for putting in the food you eat?

Im 22 and want to be able to: -Wear a bikini for once in my life (not a large shirt and shorts!) -zipline (i didnt go with my friends because I was afraid I was over the weight limit) -NOTshop at avenue, torrid,lane bryant NO plus size stores! -wear a pants size in the single digits -belly dancing lessons its in my culture! -pole dancing lessons -go hiking without having to turn back before reaching the top =( happened last week -sky diving -wear a wet suit and not look disgusting! lol -try wakeboarding -get my first piggy back ride -have my bf carry me/pick me up for the first time -be ok with showing my legs and arms -buy a sexy costume

Hey guys! So I was craving the taste of pizza. So I used what I have and it came out pretty good! Reminds my of a grown-up version of the lunchable pizza's which I love! (Loved) lol Heres what you need [or substitute for what you have =) ] I used : 1 wassa Rosemary cracker One tablespoon of New Mans own Natural Marinara One table spoon of Skim Milk Ricotta cheese Half of a slice of Colby Jack cheese ( I didnt have low fat mozzarella but the Colby has so much more flavor!) a sprinkle of Italian seasoning 6 slices of Hormels 70% less fat Turkey Pepperoni I put my cracker down, spread the marinara, sprinkled the italian seasoning. Then added my ricotta (small chunks I didnt spread it) and then cut up the pieces of colby jack and put it on there. Last put on my pepperoni and then put it in the microwave. maybe 15 sec watch it,,,you want the cheese to be melted. After putting it in my fitness pal it came out to be 145 calories, 10 carbs, and 11 grams of Protein =) I can only eat half then Im full So I save the other half, or only use half a cracker if I know I dont want any later. Enjoy!

The title should be THIN crust haha not this crust its really good !

I was sleeved on Dec 14th 2012 down 26 pounds including the 7 pounds I lost pre-op

I dont have a NUT so thank you all for the great advice and help!!

Hey guys, so I was on liquids for 2 weeks then starting my 3rd week I started doing puree..but based off of this website. When I saw my surgeon yesterday he said "we dont teach puree's you need to go straight to solids. Im not even in my 4th week yet. I ate some tuna and guacamole and I feel so ill. I dont know when im full and when to stop. Now im so scared to stretch my new stomach I dont want to fail! =( My surgeon hasent told me what to eat, how much to eat...Im so lost. Any help/advice would be so helpful. another thing I ate a soft boiled egg this morning and could eat the whole thing no problem. But when looking at other people posts that are at 3 weeks like me they can only eat half an egg and feel full. whats wrong wit me! am I over doing it?

Cheri you are so right! I laughed out loud when I read the IHOP comment, I was like wow! I never thought of it that way haha! Thank you so much for the advice I feel like I have a better understanding now your awesome!

Thanks everyone love to know I have a small support group on here =D

I know what you mean by the "why dont you just stop eating" ...like are you serious? lol though these people may judge me, the people who have replied to me venting made me realize that Im doing something to get healthy, and I needed the help, I didnt take the easy way out because the sleeve doesnt instantly make you skinny I have to work at it and change my bad habits. Thanks everyone =)
