It's a big step...I was nervous too.mainly about the lifestyle change. The surgery didn't really freak me out. But after almost four weeks...I'm kind of in a groove already....still some days I think about food!

My Dr and shrink say the same thing...just have a tiny bit. For now though I'll stick to lean protein etc.I need to develop good habits.

I want to try chicken parmesan: 6 split breasts pounded thin Crushed tomatoes 2 large cans Red wine - 1/4 c 1 clove garlic crushed 1/2 onion....diced fine 2 tsp. Basil 1/2 t. Oregano 1 packet splenda ( optional) Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste 1 cup low fat shredded mozerella 1/4 cup parmesan Combine tomatoes and herbs and wine and splenda... bring to boil... reduce and simmer for 1 hour Lightly pan fry breast until just browned in a littleolive oil- you could bread these but why have the extra calories? cover chicken with sauce in baking dishp with cheeses Cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350 oven for 1/2 hour...remove foil and bake another 10 minutes Baking time can be adjusted depending on thickness of breasts Serve with Italian green beans and pasta for those who can eat it!

Ive been losing every four days or so..I don't lose for days and then lose five pounds like magic. I'm trying not to get obsessed. I was bummed...lost 27 lbs since surgery and then I realized that's a pound a day! I lived and died by the scale for so long I'm just not going to do it anymore.

Congrats!

It's so easy to do! I really try to do three meal a day and a sugar free pudding for dessert. Let's face it none of us got overweight because we bate food! I realky try to do this one dat at a time....sometimes one meal at a time. Email me if you want! deaddemmama@gmail.com. we can be a support for each other!

How are things going? Have you had the chance to hit a seminar yet?

How are you doing? Ihope all is well!

Hope all is well!

I've heard weeks 4-6 can sometimes be tough...going to mushy food. I'll back off trying new food for awhile and stick to eggs...soup etc. Thanks for the input!

I've. Been tolerating everything really well but yesterday I was nauseous all day. Couldn't even do protein. Anyone else have this happen out of the blue? Surgery date 4/29.

You look amazing!

The question is...can I just take a bite? I became overweight because of an unnatural obsession with food. I'm going to try to stay on the " plan". It takes awhile for things to become habit.

I think I'll stick to zuchinni lasagne. My kid had fettucini Alfredo on Tuesday ..smelled good but not good for me.

Seriously. She was on the toilet for 22 hours...extreme dumping.. I think the sauce probably had added sugar too. The funny thing is that she can drink juice to no ill effect... I guess everyone dumps differently.

Hope yo fell better! Call your surgeon if you have any doubts! I am 3 1/2. weeks out and it got a lot better for me! The pain meds didn't agree with my stomach either. I used zofran for nausea. It helped a lot.

Of course I haven't tried Caribs...and don't intend to.I saw a friend of mine dump for 22 hours after spaghetti...a very little amount. She was not having a good time!

I had a capsule shift for my loose shoulder...ouch....I agree not taking anti inflammatory drugs is a pain..there is a topical that works well.

Wow I'm amazed at the differences among instructions.
