    Losers Bench!

    Thank you all!!! I can't believe I was only able to see these now! I lost my password and could only log in from work!! Its been almost 3 weeks and I have lost about 25 pounds so far!! Woohoo!! I feel great and have no pain what so ever! I am a little scared that I am able to try and nibble on things without getting sick AT ALL!! I am just supposed to be starting the pureed stage and I have no problem eating normal foods!?!?!? Should I be concerned? Anyone else like this?
  9. Hi All!! I am a couple days shy of 3 weeks since my bypass and I feel great! No pain and I am down 25 pounds! The down side... I think I am able to eat or I am testing the waters a lil early... but wow does eating something other than a protein shake or just liquids taste so good!! Anyone else do this? I am back to work today... which hopefully get be back to a regular routine, and with the holidays being over I think will help with the temptations too!! I haven't been sick at all either!?

  10. Tomorrow is my surgery day!! I really wish I could run out to Chipolte, Five Guys, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Panera and Dairy Queen and just go crazy!!!!!! Oh... wait... I am really enjoying all this chicken broth. Lol!

    Head hunger

    I agree!! I have been making my phone calls during meal times, or jumping on line... or going tanning!! lol! Anything to avoid seeing, smelling or sitting next to the yum yums! Seems to be helping me, I guess. You can do it! I keep reminding my self... "That burger doesn't taste as good as healthy & skinny feels!!"
  12. Wow... have you tried calling your doc or maybe the nutritionist? They for sure would have some words of wisdom for you!?
  13. Are you following all the rules? I am still preop, my surgery is Dec 8th.

      It's not necessarily even the sugar but going low carb in general, pretty low fat and liquids only with no solid food, lower calorie than what you are used to - your body is reacting and basically saying what the f*** is going on?

      Coffee? Keep at it. It will be worth it. I lost 11 lbs before surgery. Those are 11 lbs I'm really proud of.

      Thank you! I am down about 12 also!!

  16. I am down 9 pounds! I am pre-op. I have quit pop, coffee and cut back on sugar and processed foods. I try to drink lots of water and cut my portions way back! It seems to be working!! Small steps in preparation for my surgery!! Happy Happy!!
