Today is a blessed day for the first time since 9th grade I am under 200lbs...wow!...199! Just can't believe it...Thank you God for my second chance! RNY 6/21/13 HW/320 SW/265 CW/213

Good to see there a few teachers on this thread! I teach senior and junior English as well... We go back third week of August... But of course need to attend conference on the common cores first week of August! It's gonna be an interesting year with our new requirements health wise!... Teaching too I guess!

I have to agree guys I do not get hungry when I do not watch TV!! If I watch its like torturing myself! Too much food on TV, just like the violence in video games, they should rate all the food commercials that will be aired!! Give a brother a chance!

Hi everyone!! I am new here this is my first post, but have been reading the last couple of weeks! I had surgery June 21st so I'm 6 days Post-op! Biggest challenge for me is wanting to eat my wife's cooking and taking all these meds in crushed form, as well as the vitamins! I had surgery because of a huge Rt. Flank Hernia that has torn three times in the last 10 years... This time every surgeon I talked to told me they would not touch me until I lost weight! I was 320 lbs, then went down to 265 on my own... Since starting program and pre-op diets I went into surgery at 239 lbs, my goal is 180lbs so I can repair hernia and get my life back! I am diabetic, have high blood pressure, high cholestrol, and suffer from chronic back pain... I am praying this surgery will help me with all of that! Glad to join all of you in this amazing journey!

Thanks for the welcome everyone, glad to have found all of you! Week three is looking up, never thought I would love eggs and salsa so much!!

I ate watermelon today with no problem, what are the problems associated with it? I am 3 weeks post-op and on puréed foods...

Los Angeles, CA....Cedars Sinai

Hope to go to puréed foods next week, well OMG... Saturday!! Sugar free pudding come to papa!!

I'm on a liquid diet too looking forward so much to being able to chew something, never noticed how much food is shown on TV nowadays, it's either Food, Alchohol, or prescription drugs!! Lol!
