You look sharp!!!

How about egg salad?

Yes....grade 1 fish.

I love love love salmon sashimi....and scallops... but its personal preference.

I drink g2....slowly. I think the issue is eating something with greater than 5 gms of sugar all at once. Look at 8 oz of soda....divide the sugar by 8....I think its like 27 gms. So that puts you at between 3-4 per ounce...vs.less than 1. At one oz per 10 min....you are near dumping limits per oz on the coke but not with the g2. Diluting is a good idea, but throw ice in it, drink it slow, and it self dilutes. At 20 Cal per serving of 8 oz...it works. For me.

I have a walther ppk....380. Conceals well-

I am sorry you had it so rough. Hang tight....it gets better, though it may not feel like it right now. You do this for you. I am almost 8 months out, and over 110 lbs lost. Those early days are so tough. You feel like crap, your energy level stinks....you want the weight to be gone..NOW!....but its a one step at a time, one day at a time process. And it will go. One day, you will wake up look in the mirror and not recognize yourself. Its all good. (Hug)

Welcome Fred!! The water's fine---

Salmon sometimes disagrees with me if its too dry. Sits like a lump in the stomach. Just time seems to be the only solution. Or maybe some lemon to help break it down?

Wow...I am sorry you are going through this. Do they know what caused it? Where did you have your surgery?

So...what is your question? You want to know if you should do it? Personal choice. Have you exhausted all options? Most here have had life changing improvements. Are you happy at your weight? What do you hope to gain by surgery? What do you stand to lose?

I made my own...crock pots rock .

30 min on my bike..

It doesn't bother me

It rocks!!!

Try sashimi.. the rice is a no go.

Most people are less likely to dump on natural sugars found in fruit products. Try it see if it works for you.

People, caffeine is a major no no...don't drink it. It will affect your weight loss and dehydration levels.

Vicki, Get some decAf tea.. I was started on it in the hospital after surgery and still drink it.

Scallops maybe? High in protein...

Might be the combination of foods you eat...total carbs or fats or both...

Where's the recipe?

I can feel the muscles working all the way into my core....with the bike....and its easy on the knees.
