A video of you with bed-head, in a hospital gown while high on painkillers would be fantastic

It all tastes the same for me - but the thrill of anticipation before and excitement during is gone. But then again, so is the guilt and shame afterwards! I'll take it!

I'm 3 months+ out - had 2 shots over the course of a very long Saturday night last weekend and didn't feel the effects.

Our minds have to "catch-up" with our bodies. I think we all experience "mental stalls" - yes, even me!

I have an office job and I was out 1 week.

My program doesn't have a carb restriction - they only care about me hitting my Fluid and Protein goals. That said, they also want me to always approach my food choices from a protein first, then vegetables, then starchy carbs (if there's any room left). According to myfitnesspal I average 50g of carbs or less (with an occasional spike) per day. I've finished week #14 and am in week #15 with no stalls to date.

I like them all!

What next!? Cheeseburgers!? LOL - j/k, enjoy!!

I don't see anything especially problematic. I'm not a snack person, but I understand why you need to supplement your regular meals to hit your Protein goals. Do the Jello and Popsicles help toward the protein goal? Just curious as I don't currently use them. My only concern (if I was evaluating this for myself) is that I would get into the habit of snacking all the time and what would happen if I didn't have the healthier/lower caloric options available. Congrats on the 100 lbs loss!!!

Week #13 - 3 Month Surgiversary Video!

I love my strawberry at the bottom "Yopa!" greek yogurt!

This happened to me a week ago Saturday and I spent a little time in the Urgent Care, getting IV pain meds and X-rays. Then an hour or two later - I was back to normal!

Looking great buddy! Keep up the great work

Thanks Grammy!

...besides, no one wants to go to a wedding where the cake is crappy! It was your duty, darn it!

I'm having a cocktail tonight - first one in 3 months - it's planned and will be recorded on myfitnesspal. I think it's great that you reached out, and if being able to stop is problematic, at least you have the insight to take pause. Progress, not perfection - listen to your intuition!

Surgery? What surgery? Oh, sorry... I was distracted after catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror

What is unmanly about having some nice lady rub on you? Hell, I almost feel hetero by the time I leave the nail place! LOL

I had gas pain up until about 3 days post-op. It wasn't really painful, just uncomfortable. I very rarely, if ever, get gas now.
