Ohhhhh why did you stop eating yogurt? Slider food? I only got it because it was pumpkin & then I found a Protein shake recipe that called for vanilla yogurt. Otherwise I have not had it in a while. But when I do eat it, its always chobani Greek. I will try fage. Thank you for helping me. Once again lol I know I must drive you crazy! Ughh it's so hard scrutinizing over everything you eat.

I am only 3 months post op and yes I worry daily about regain and more so at this point about not losing enough. I worry, will I really get to my goal? Will I really keep losing? Even though I have not cheated , NOT ONCE? What if I am that ONE PERSON that the surgery fails me? I have read about people who said " oh the weight just DROPPED OFF ME!" ...... Well I am 3 months post op and 42 lb down since day of surgery and 67 lb down since my very first appointment with the surgeon and I started my diet pre op. But then I think.... Well it's not just DROPPING OFF ME!!!! What's wrong with me????? It's a HUGE MENTAL GAME.....

Awwwwwe ???????????????????? yes!!!!!! That's exactly it!!!!!!!!!! Yayyyy for you too!!!!!!!! Its so so exciting!!!!!!!! I could hug you through the computer if I could!!!! ????????????????????????

Thank you so much ladies!!!!!! I had to share with you!! I KNEW you would totally understand lol ????????

Awesome thank you!!

HAHAHAHA is that a brand!?

OMG LMAO....... YOU SERIOUSLY CRACK ME UP!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! ???????????????????????????????? I do notice if I sit a long time it hurts & I need to try to readjust. However I would not yet say I am bony butt yet lol my Pitts..... Not caving in but I have noticed not as easy to shave in one or two swipes! Lol my jina ..... WOOO HOOOO I can look down and see it & soooo much easier to shave now!!!!! But I hate the shaving process & as soon as I am working again, I am getting Brazilian's again. I LOVED this post!!!! Thank you ladies ❤❤

I want to lose as much as I can in my first year. I will not cheat or give in etc. I went into this surgery knowing my life was changing forever & I was not going back. I have no interest in carbs or sweets shockingly. Thankfully. So I have been looking at recipes on here & various Bariatric sites & Pinterest & I am worried when I see carbs. I want to stay away from carbs. So I am calling out to all of the VERY STRICT sleevers who are in their first year or who are past their first year and were strict. I am looking for ideas of recipes with no carbs & no sugar please. Can we start a thread going here to support each other? Thanks in advance ????????

I can't express how much I have learned by planning and tracking my food / drink using My Fitness Pal during the last 17 months (including 3 months pre-op). By using MFP almost daily I have learned about the calories, fat, carbs, protein, fiber, sodium and other nutritional components of everything I've eaten and drunk. It's given me a real education and a sense of tremendous power and control. I recommend it highly to you, @@Lexuskela . I use it to track my intake. So my food diary. That's it. I guess I should look at other areas too. I didn't think it could help me in other areas. I will start checking out other areas of the app also than just my diary. Thank you ????

Yes thank yout so much. I think food in general just scares me. I look at it as the enemy, not the way to being healthy. I need to change that & learn that it can be healthy. I ask so many questions because I want to learn so I can understand the healthy side of food and become "friends" with food and not view it as the enemy. If that makes sense.

@@jenn1 I see a recipe by Karen I want to try, but worried as it has in it, butter & reduced fat cream cheese. I commented on the blog but didn't hear back yet.... Just want to see what you think? I always thought cream cheese was a fattening NO NO if you want to lose weight .... Sorry just want to be sure & I am learning as I go.

Thank you for the kudos! I do love oatmeal and sweet potatoes! I will incorporate them soon, I have started working out heavier now. I joined the gym recently and on top of cardio I am doing weights and classes also. I did a Les Miss class Saturday, Body Combat, burned 600 cals. I just like you said, need to be more comfortable with it.

My stomach sometimes is SO LOUD!!! MY family looks at me like I am crazy! Lol does yours do that too? Lol

Ahhhhh that makes sense why then I will see the recipes under low carb high protein & fats with some butter & or oil in them!!!

Yes keto diet, it puts you into a ketotis metabolic state. I also prefer that as well. I usually just called it the low carb, high Protein diet. I didn't know it had a true name ???????? although I do have fruit once or twice a week.
