had a couple of "best" feelings...and I'm still loosing so I know there will be more to come the first time I went shopping after loosing 100+ pounds. Tried on one size, it was too big. Tried on the next size, still too big, and so on and so on. Ended up going down 6 full sizes. getting an invite to someone's house and not worrying about what their seating situation is like I have two weddings coming up and I'm NOT freaking out about what to wear. I'm actually looking forward to going and showing off my weight loss

yes! I was laying on my side the other day and put my hand on my hip and felt this hard thing. Took me a minute to realie it was my hip bone LOL

have you seen the commercial for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2? When they pose for a picture "ready on three pull my neck" LOL

I weigh myself every morning. I don't freak out if the number goes up a little but I do look back to what I ate the previous day

mmmmm poutine or as we call them in Jersey...DISCO FRIES

I got some instant decaf to add to my Protein shakes. vanilla Protein Powder, milk, ice cubes, spoonful of coffee....almost like a frappucino

one week out it's ok not to get all your protein in, just get in what you can. as time goes on you will be able to get in more and more

I was told that we couldn't have any for three months. Since then I've had some wine and some beer, but I'm not much of a drinker. Most likely yes, you will never have a pint of beer again, only because it won't fit in you. You would probably be able to have a few sips before feeling full. nothing against the poster but I find it interesting how much people worry about alcohol. don't drink much so it's not a big deal for me but I find it interesting to see people worrying about not being able to have a beer again. I would think that loosing weight and becoming healthy is more important than some alcohol. I felt similar about not being able to binge at a buffet, but I keep telling myself that it's a small price to pay for loosing all the weight

I felt very ok after my surgery. I had it on a wednesday and that weekend I went to walmart. But I had to cut the trip short because I didn't realize how tired I was from walking around

My brain can't even proceas paying $90 for a pair of jeans or $60 for a bra

If you feel that there is a potential future with this guy then I would tell him about the surgery and your eating situation. Also as Christinamo said maybe try to do some things that don't involve food. I am in a divorce process and will have to start dating at some point myself. I have this same worry about going out with someone to a restaurant

I usually find that it's easier to "modify" my dish when it comes to me. It's not going to be any cheaper if I don't get a bun or bread so I'll just order it as is and take off what I don't want when it comes to me. I still get rice or noodles with my chinese because other people will eat it

I didn't think it was that crazy when I said it but the waiter gave me the weirdest look....I ordered chicken tortilla soup without tortillas

cevich and sashimi are some of my favorite things. whenever salmon is on sale I get a small piece first thing in the morning and make myself a bowl and eat it for Breakfast lunch and dinner my recipe is very basic but very tasty I finely dice half a red onion, and mix it with the diced salmon, the juice of a lime, and a tablespoon of soy sauce. Let it sit for two hours and enjoy.

The hospital really should give you everything you need. They gave me a toothbrush and toothpaste, small bottle of mouthwash, and soap. I would bring a book or laptop or something to entertain yourself. And definitely your cell phone and a long cord. Slippers for walking would probably be a good idea but they will give you those warm socks at the hospital. for the ride home a pillow helps. Also some very loose clothing and soft pants.

both surgeries will help resolve a lot of weight related issues like apnea, diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure

it really depends. Your insurance might need you to wait a certain amount of time, or your doctor's schedule might be full. you also need to pass a bunch of medical tests for me I went for my first consultation in the beginning of June 2015 and I was sleeved September 2 2015

hey guys sorry to post this again but I think that thread is very buried Do you guys eat a lot of tuna? I actually really like it and it's a good source of Protein. But sometimes just tuna salad can get boring. I'm always trying different ways to make it more interesting. Here are some things I came up with. Each recipe uses one can of tuna and is usually at least two lunches for me. Also my measurements are my best guess as I don't usually measure things. You can always add more or less of an ingredient. Southwestern tuna 1 tablespoon corn, 1 tablespoon black Beans, 1 tablespoon diced red onion, 1 tablespoon rotel, 1 teaspoon mayo Asian style tuna 1 tablespoon sliced green onion, quarter teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon soy sauce. I didn't add any mayo to this one but you can add some if you want it to be moister (is moister a word?) Mediteranian tuna 1 tablespoon sliced kalamata olives, 1 teaspoon chopped dill, 1 tablespoon diced cucumber, 1 tablespoon greek yogurt, a small squeeze of lemon juice taco tuna a little bit of shredded lettuce,1 tablespoon of diced canned tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of the juice, 1 tablespoon diced red onion, pinch or two of taco seasoning to taste tomato basil tuna 1 tablespoon diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chopped basil, 1 teaspoon mayo lemony tuna 1 tablespoon capers, a good squirt of lemon juice, a pinch of lemon pepper, 1 teaspoon of mayo

I have a couple more tuna recipes each of these use 1 can of tuna Southwestern tuna 1 tablespoon corn, 1 tablespoon black Beans, 1 tablespoon diced red onion, 1 tablespoon rotel, 1 teaspoon mayo Asian style tuna 1 tablespoon sliced green onion, half teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon soy sauce. I didn't add any mayo to this one but you can add some if you want it to be moister (is moister a word?) Mediteranian tuna 1 tablespoon sliced kalamata olives, 1 teaspoon chopped dill, 1 tablespoon diced cucumber, 1 tablespoon greek yogurt, a small squeeze of lemon juice EDIT: forgot a few taco tuna a little bit of shredded lettuce,1 tablespoon of diced canned tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of the juice, 1 tablespoon diced red onion, pinch or two of taco seasoning to taste tomato basil tuna 1 tablespoon diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chopped basil, 1 teaspoon mayo lemony tuna 1 tablespoon capers, a good squirt of lemon juice, a pinch of lemon pepper, 1 teaspoon of mayo

of course you can fail. Many people do. Cheating once in a while is not failure. But constantly cheating will lead you to failure and weight gain. Weight loss surgery is not a magic wand, it's not an easy thing to live with. It requires dedication and commitment. You have to eat right, be healthy, and exercise. Sure once in a while you can be a little naughty. But you have to make a LIFETIME commitment to be healthy, or you absolutely will regain weight

If you can have a cooler with you, I like those yogurt smoothies. they have ones for kids that are in a little bottle so I can actually finish one Other than that, you may have to wait a few more weeks, but beef/turkey jerky is good. It's also a source of Protein. as for soda cravings, I find that crystal light or other powders help with the craving for sweets. Carbonated drinks still don't sit well with me so I try to avoid soda.

I was ok with ground meat during my soft food stage.

results from what?

I'm so sorry to keep talking about my personal life But my latest divorce drama has given me a new motivation to work even harder to loose more weight. I want to bump into him months from now and for him to see me looking all sexy and skinny....and maybe on the arm of a good looking guy, while he is still all alone. Is that petty?

Texting while driving....what could possibly be so important that you can't wait? One time on my way home, the interesction before the entrance to my complex usually gets backed up. It takes a couple of cycles of the traffic light to get through. So I'm waiting and I can see in my rearview mirror that the guy behind me is texting. When I move forward he glances up and moves up too but since he's not paying attention almost hits me. This happens every time I move up. I move up, then stop and watch him barely look up from his phone and move up until he almost hits me.
