Ladies, chicks, girls, women... calm down! We all know, WE actually run the show. It is US who let them take the lead, therefore them letting us take the lead is just us really having control. yes. I meant to confuse you.
Guys if you really want an excellent date, be rich, handsome, charming and witty. If you can't be any of those things, just be real. If your a talker, Yap her ear off. If your a jerk, be a jerk (some chicks dig that) if your boring... well... just stay home

I think the question was "when did u guys start having noodles" I answered never because I have not started to eat noodles. It's a carb I choose not to eat. I didn't say I never eat carbs. I track everything I eat in myfitnesspal and try to keep it under 60g of carbs in a day. Has it ever gone over? Hell yeah , I've had birthday cake.

Great job! I'm really trying to work on preparing my food for the week. I just run out of dinner ideas and resort to my chicken and tuna salads. Thank you for the egg idea in the muffin pan!!

What they're basically telling you is that the way you think about food pre-surgery cannot continue, post-surgery. The way you think about food is what has gotten you to the point where you NEED surgery, in the first place. So there needs to be a dedication to changing your thought process about it. After you've had weight loss surgery, your stomach real estate is VERY valuable...you can't put much in it, and your body requires certain things - above all, Protein. You will find that you start to value things with higher nutritional value, that meet the needs of your body to function, or to gain muscle. That doesn't mean you can't still want things to taste good, but your priorities have to change. Noodles have next to no nutritional value and they expand in your stomach...and when your stomach hardly holds anything, it's a wasted meal to eat a bunch of noodles. Could you? Sure you could. But if your mind is right about getting your life turned around and getting fit, you won't WANT to. That's what they're saying.
Getting your mind right and changing your attitudes about food is probably at least 80% of succeeding with WLS. If your mindset is still, "Someday I will be able to eat like a normal person" then you're not there, yet...because after WLS, you will NEVER be able to eat like a normal person, again. Your priorities will be MUCH different than theirs.

I don't think it's hypocrisy at all. I see so many posts about 'treats' and 'good' food and so forth...I absolutely will not allow myself to continue to look at food that way. A 'treat' is a day spent, at a normal size and healthy, with my family. A 'treat' is getting on a plane and not dreading getting into the seat. A 'treat' is walking a couple of miles without needing the next day off because of leg and foot pain. Thinking of crap food as 'treats' and 'good' and 'fun' is how I got to 262 and surgery. No more. Not one more damned day.
If YOU want to 'treat' yourself with food and have 'fun' with food, you can eat around your sleeve and find yourself right back where you were...or you can change your relationship with food and find other ways to 'treat' yourself and other 'good' things and other ways to have 'fun'. But don't expect me or many others here to ever support you in continuing the same deadly relationship with food that you had pre-op. You'll find plenty of 'oh, you do what makes you feel good' replies and when you've gained your weight back, you can come back and thank them

No reason to fight the mirror!! You are beautiful!!

My normal shower wrap was ????? this morning (I'll find it) so I just wrapped a towel around myself. Then I realized I really just wrapped a towel around myself and everything was covered. Just a regular towel, not a bath sheet. I am completely thrilled and amazed.

Literally coming from doing JUST THAT!
And they are SMOKIN' Hot with 4 inch heels all the way to my knees. Looking at a pair now that come over the knee. Beauties by Ralph Lauren.... Mmmmmmmmm.

I can't wait to buy boots that aren't wide calf!

What others have said about no Pasta is true. It fills you up with little nutrition and lots of carbs/calories. Instead try using one of the vegetable spiralizers and make "zoodles". I make zucchini noodles to eat with a meaty Pasta Sauce and find it to be tasty and filling. Add a little parmesan and you don't even miss the Pasta.< /p>
On this weight loss journey you learn to think about food in a different way. I like the notion of good foods vx bad foods. You have to decide for yourself if it's worth eating "bad" food - does it make you sick or uncomfortable? does it raise your calorie count for the day to pre-weight loss levels? We know some people gain back the weight they have lost and reverting to your old eating habits is how that happens. It's up to you but as for me, I like my slimmer self and want to keep losing weight.

I'm wearing knee high boots for the first time in my life !! I bought them last year on clearance right after my surgery, tried them on tonight and they fit beautifully!!
