I was referring to the types of food, rather than the quantity. But I'm reading here that as time goes on, we will be able to eat more.. But not too much... Which is the whole point of the surgery, right? ....feeling full with less food.. Guess we gotta just flat out not love food as much ????

Fruit is sugar with vitamins and fiber in it RAW (not cooked processed) Honey Is sugar with vitamins.. Both in moderation is healthy

Tugs Good thoughts My1way Almost every morning I make a Protein latte with coffee, 2 scoops of TR90 chocolate Trimshake, unsweetened almond milk and liquid peppermint stevia=about 200 calories

Thanks.. Yah that's fast.. It'll be about 10 weeks for me.. I've done all those too.. I'm following the plan Kaiser gave me . I have 12 more pounds of the 20 the surgeon requires me to lose

Wow! Miss Mac.. How are you now?

Thanks guys.. I wrote in another thread. I've tried em all.. And like most.. I can lose the weight.. I hate feeling hungry tho. I can also gain 30-40 pounds in a few months! Especially over Christmas.. And for me, "I'll start tomorrow" seems to be my mantra. I even had a dream last night about going ahead and having the surgery..

SO needed that now... Even tho I've need on just about every diet and plan out there, I am waffling right now. Last year I was 40 pounds less than I am now.. And I just dropped 8 pounds in 6 days But I've got to remember the sleeve will be a tool to help me get and keep the weight off

I have a mother like that

Cool... That's all we should have anyway!

Nicolanz Even a little sugar? Thanks for the input

Haha ????

Thanks! Great ideas!

Great! Looking forward to your feedback Heidi

Runner Wow, you've done really well! 36 pounds in less than a month? I love that saying.. 50 is the new 30! I totally feel that!

Zoe, it's so exciting to hear you say that you feel more me now... I've never felt right being heavy.. I wanted to tell you something interesting that has happened recently: I have hair that is very fine, but I have a lot of it.. And it's long. But every time I shower and wash my hair, I get quite a bit that comes out in the shower.. You know what I mean? Then it gets oily if I don't wash it every day and a half..... About 2 weeks ago I started using my company's product called Nutriol Shampoo... And about once or twice a week the Nutriol Hair Fitness Preparation.... I now can go 2 1/2 days before my hair needs to be washed again (long hair is kind of a pain to wash) Also .... I don't lose as much hair strands if any.. When I wash my hair!!! I LOVE LOVE this product!!!!!

Queen of Crop/Zoe I just now got your latest post!!!! Which says it was like 10 days ago! So sorry... Yes my website is www.heidiandalan.nsopportunity.com Also www.nuskin.com Click on your country Our headquarters are in Denmark This company and their products are LIFE CHANGERS.. I met with surgeon a week ago. He told me to lose 20 pounds.. So far I've lost 8.2 in 6 days!!! Guess I'll be having surgery in January.. If you'd like to email me at heidi.kate@yahoo.com Or even phone or text me at 1-925-330-0001 Sorry again about not getting back to you sooner Zoe!! Take care, Heidi

Samantha, sounds like you've done a lot of it. My standby breakfast when I go out to eat is eggs and one price of toast and strawberries. I had this this morning and I was wondering if I was going to be able to eat eggs after surgery

Pataroony, Thank you for the details.. Did you have your surgery out of the country?

Hope, that's so awesome! Sorry for your meltdown tho ????

Seahawks I love all the details.. Sound like you have a handle on things????

Sleevy Wonder Yes. I found that eating out causes my weight to stall.. When and if I eat sweets it'll be raw honey, fruit, nuts.. But very small amounts bc although these are nutritious, they still have calories

Bubbletoes that's wonderful!!!!

Jane, Good thoughts

My surgery is in Jan. I was told to lose 20 pounds.. So far I've lost 8 in 6 days..

Ann, Great ideas! Thanks.. I use Lose It.. I wonder how My Fitness Pal differs... I'll look into it... I hope it all goes this well for me.
