Way to go!!! Congratulations!!

I feel the same way about Italian food. I used to love it, since my surgery, August 6th I may have made any kind of Italian food twice. Once for my daughters birthday, she loves spaghetti, and I made a chicken lasagna for my brothers party. And on another note I have never really liked sea food but now I want it all the time.

I didn't track my calories yesterday but I got a spoon of yams a couple spoons of potatoes and gravy a piece of turkey a piece of ham some green beans and some pasta salad. And later a bite of pecan pie. A bite of chocolate pie. A few bites of banana cream cake and a bite of ambrosia salad so I probably went over my calories too. But I didn't over stuff myself which was good. And I had a nice time.

I did the same thing. I served everyone drinks and carved the turkey. After that I sat down and ate maybe 2 bites of turkey, ham, potatoes, yams, my daughter made fresh yams, they were so good. We usually have candied yams dripping with butter and brown sugar. She made them this year too but I didn't touch them. Had a few green beans and a spoon of corn. I plan to have a bite of the pies later too. I made 4 and a banana cream cake I want to try. Surprisingly I did not over stuff myself.

I must say beans, any kind really, I have been in love with since my surgery. They taste good and sit well, those and avocados. Wasn't a big fan of avocados before. But now. I love them. I always add it to my salads as well as beets. My surgeon recommended the beets for protein.

My husband loves the black beans from el pollo loco they r BBQ black beans, everytime he goes there he gets that and the veggies. Just gotta try them again. Sometimes the first experience with something is not the best.

I went through the depression phase a few weeks ago. It does pass. If u need to talk u can private message me if u want to. I am at a stall right now but u know I do believe the protein does help u Lose it faster because I can't stand the protein powders and I don't use them but when I was drinking them regularly I was losing more.

I'm down 66 lbs. I find myself looking for the protein on everything now. I have finally had an experience that I know was dumping. I started drinking my coffees again and I made the mistake of using regular flavored creamer. Well I have given those to my daughter. And am happy to say I now only use fat and sugar free creamers. I got sick to my stomach and had to lock up my office and run to the bathroom. I was in there for about 30 minutes, I felt like I was gonna pass out. Had diarrhea, sweats, shakes. It was all bad. Another thing that I'm not too happy with is the hair loss, omg. I feel like a shedding dog, I got my hair chopped short and layered to try to make it look thicker but it seriously is falling out by the handfuls. I knew it was coming, if I didn't I would probably b freaking out because I am seriously loosing so much. I hope everyone else is not having this issue. My friend who had her surgery about two years ago went through the same thing and let me know her hair is nice and thick again. Anyways. Everyone sounds like they are getting better. Glad to see it and good luck to everyone.

Going to my brothers house. I will try a little of everything but I know I'm probably gonna eat mostly the turkey and some salad. I seem to do best with salads. But I'm gonna b baking four pies and a cake. Everyone there knows I had the surgery and I'm ok with that. My nephew who is 16 gets a kick out of watching me eat a bite and wait a few minutes before another bite. My five year old will probably eat with me, she does that at home all the time. She is my little garbage disposal. Luckily for us both I mostly eat salads so she is eating healthy also.

Had Italian wedding soup. The rest of the family had pizza.

Had 1 and a half pieces of pizza, red Barron frozen pizza for dinner. For lunch I had a couple piece of orange chicken and a couple bites of brown rice.

Salad with avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, cheese, and turkey. With toasted sesame dressing. Yummy!!

Wow I am about the same as you in amount lost since surgery. I was 336 at surgery and I am now 279. Want to get to the 260. By thanksgiving. And 240s by Christmas. Good luck to you. Your doing great!!

Way to go both of you!! I am almost at 60 gone!! But not yet I need to lose 3 more lbs.

Sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Oh trust me I have had some nice and not so nice conversations with my scale. My youngest daughter, she's 5, goes in the bathroom after I come out to see who I was talking to.

Yes we will reach it. I just keep it in my head that this time next year I will be closer, if not at, or past my goal. And I think everyone is doing great.

My thighs and my hips are my biggest with my upper arms a close third. But of course that is NOT where I am losing it. My boobs are gone and my waist is getting smaller and my husband says I'm losing my butt. I never had one to begin with. Just a lot of fat, glad to know I am at-least losing it there. I'm down to 279 from 336, so I'm happy. Would like to get to the 260s by thanksgiving but I'm happy with the results I am getting. And I hope everyone else is too. Don't be too hard on yourselves just think where you would b without the surgery!

I wear a lot of skirts with elastic waists and I had to role mine up today because my stomach and butt are not as big so they don't pull them up so much anymore and I was stepping on my skirt this morning. It's a good thing it's just kinda strange, also my capris are also not at my calves anymore either they are getting longer too. Funny how our bodies are losing it, I wish I could lose it where I wanted to. Lol!

Had soup and salad from Boudin SF, got the half Waldorf salad with grilled chicken and a small bowl of chili. Had a bite of chili and ate all the salad. It was delicious!

Don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing great!!

Congratulations on the beautiful baby boy!!

. I'm at 54 lbs. my surgery was August 6. I think everyone is doing great. Just think where you would b if u didn't have the surgery.

I made beef stew today. And it did not stay down. I've had hamburger with no problems. But the beef in the stew did not work. I wanted to try steak but I don't think I will do that for a while.

I've had a few stalls. Not liking them but I'm out of it right now. I went down three pounds over the weekend. I was happy when I got on the scale this morning. I was at 285 for about a week or so then this morning I got to work and got on the scale and it showed 282. I said I want to be in the 270's by Halloween. I'm gonna do some major walking before then. I'll b happy at 279 to b honest.
