I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress. Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

Well I finally had my first (and second) bout with vomiting. The first time was food I had been eating for about a week, but for whatever reason it decided to come up. And tonight I tried some fish and that didn't sit very well either. it happened really fast and I didn't have any other symptoms. Makes me very leery to try new foods. I've mostly been sticking with yogurt, scrambled eggs, tofu and protein shakes. I'm about 3 months out from surgery. I've lost 31 lbs since then and I'm finally in Onederland.

I got Giada DeLaurentis' vegetable marinade at Target. 8 carbs, 3 g of fiber per serving

I bought them frozen at my local HEB supermarket. They are store brand.

Four small turkey meatballs with marinara sauce and half a slice of provolone cheese melted on top.

Looking Good, LB! Wow three miles a day is awesome!!

You look fantastic Krystal!

I would probably pack a little cooler with protein shakes for the car ride.

I really struggle with this one! I usually end up drinking a little with my meals.

I have felt zero nausea nor have I thrown up or dumped. I am almost 2 months out. I do not eat any processed carbs. I ate some chicken once and kept burping and thought I would throw up, but it went down eventually. My doc says this means I am just not ready yet for that kind of food so I went back to puréed and very soft foods. I eat protein shakes, Greek yogurt and scrambled eggs right now. I might try some fish this weekend to see if it sits better now. I don't remember what percentages Dr said end up dumping.... I'm just glad I haven't had it happen yet.

Way to go Vanna!! I'm sorry so many of you are having problems now. Best wishes to everyone who's struggling.

Scrambled egg beaters with a spoonful of salsa and a pinch of cheddar cheese mixed in. A bit of avocado on the side. Fast and easy!

Way to go! You made it to Twoterville! I'm obsessed with the scale and I weigh myself multiple times a day :/

4oz of tofu has about 100 calories and 10g of protein.

Yep! I added some fresh ginger tonight. Tastes like whatever you put on it. It doesn't have much flavor of its own.

Krystal, you're shrinking!!!

OMG I had one sample of the lemon and it was like dessert--soooo good! And I can't find them anywhere, just the chocolate ones

2 oz of tofu, a mushroom and a handful of spinach sautéed in a tsp of sunflower oil with garlic, ginger and soy sauce. 1/4 of an avocado, which I ate about half of. my pouch likes tofu!

Yay! I hate those stalls!

Yep! I use em and my urine has been neon yellow since.

Grilled tilapia (Gorton's) and about a tablespoon of sautéed spinach. The fish is sitting in my pouch like a rock--same as chicken. I might have to stick with eggs and refried beans and yogurt for a while yet!
