Get big as in muscular or just really get into it?

I was like that too but got back with it after surgery....a lot easier to stay on track when you see the pounds literally melting off!!

Oops too soon.....a big salad!!! Of miss that with all the good stuff on it! I can eat salad now but so little that if I had all the stuff on it of like I could only have like one bite to taste it all! :-)

Its funny thinking back on the last couple bad meals I ate before surgery.....things I thought I'd miss like crazy.....looking back I wish id

Err was trying to do so before and now.....

6 months out....140 lbs down

Panda you are looking good!!!!! And I must tell you how jealous I am that you still have boobs!!! Mine have disappeared!!!

I'm christina, 31 & yes I still consider myself young.....although I wish I'd done this 10 years ago!!! Had my surgery 6/20/12.....I've lost 140 lbs....any questions feel free to ask.

Anyone want to share some recipes? The meat part is no prob but what about sides? I realize with as little as I'll eat anyway it is prob not that big of a deal anyway but if I can make it more healthy I want to. Anyone ever make a sweet potato casserole with no sugar just splenda? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!!

Sounds yummy.....I like brussel sprouts like this too.

Is popcorn allowed? I've heard different things. I just had some but man it sure felt like I had a lot....I mean it was probably not but an ounce or so in weight but I'm sure more than 2 oz. in volume.

Ive never seen the 98% ff pepperoni.....just the turkey prpperoni.....can u get this @ any grocery store?

Hello all!!!

First pic 6/18/12....second pic 12/14/12. Down 140 lbs

Vicki you are so sweet! And yes husband is doing much better! Recovering nicely...we have so much to be thankful for this year.

Has anyone tried any of these or the "just cheese" snacks? I've been craving chips lately and I've seen the protein chips and all on amazon and bariatric choice. Just looking for suggestions as to what's good and what's not....on Amazon you buy a pretty big box of them when you order.

husband in BAD accident at work this am....in trauma ICU at Baptist med ctr .....every bone in face shattered, face has huge gashes everywhere on face, eye may be lost, internal bleeding - working on right now, breathing tube, etc....its bad and I'm scared to death!!!! Please pray for my sweet wonderful husband!!!

I've had the cooked pepperoni slices and they are good but I want more of a chip taste....not worried about it triggering me...we have my FAVORITE chips in our pantry right now and I did eat a few at my daughters bday party but I wont keep eating them.....that's why I'm looking for something as an alternative. There are several different brands of protein chips....high protein low calories and fat....just want to make sure what I order is gonna be good....not just taste like flavored cardboard....lol. May have a few Turkey pep slices done in the microwave today to satisfy that craving until I decide what to order :-)

If only coffee were protein.....I could get astronomical amounts on each day....

I had my 5.5 month visit today and I'm down a total of 130 lbs!!!! Yay!!!! However I'm a little nervous.....all these delicious sweet treat starting to show up at work for Christmas are making me feel weak....having to physically make myself stay away from even looking at them.

Have to admit....now I'm wanting some chili!!!!

I started at 348....down to 216 now. I've eaten what I'm supposed to.....drank lots of fluids and exercised a lot. Just followed all the rules ALMOST all the time.

Jenn I have the same issue with Wendy's chili....I have to separate it out into 2 servings before starting bc I don't get that some feeling as I do with "thicker" foods....you are doing great and gonna be fine!!! One small chili would have just need am appetizer in our previous lives.....at least it was a good good choice. I ate some cake and chips st a party this weekend...wanted to kick my own butt!!!

I DID eat a small piece of cake last weekend....it was so good but I felt so guilty about it.
