It's official! I'm stark RAVING cra! (short trip) Today, after 89 dayum days in the 230's decade, I saw 229.2lbs on the scale! Wahhhhhoooooo!!!!! I'm so happy, I just had to share and since I've no idea (can't remember) how to make a new Status Update, I figured I could rave about it and party here in the Rants & Rave Room! I'm only a few pounds from -60lbs (most recent) loss, and only a few pounds from being 100lbs down from my highest weight! Can you tell I'm happy? (Did I mention it was 89 freakin' days long???!!!)

@etc. etc. etc. Where do you buy the baked gouda crackers, please? Thanks! Your lunch sounds yummy!

I love buying the bags of the pre-made Parmesan chips at Sam's for dipping things like hummus. So dang good in salads too. They're pricey, but each bag has 15 servings.

bahahahahahaha! But on a different note, it's kinda weird...after my late breakfast, I'm feeling a desire to dive majorly back into my pre-holiday plan. Like craving it again. And craving the movement. Hmmm, maybe it's cuz the sun is shining today even though it's in the mid-20s? Hmmm...thinking things...

Flying Solo and kind of scared
FluffyChix replied to Luckeevee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
((hugs)) Talk to your surgeon and find a support group. I agree--we all need people and a support network. It's even better if they are or have gone through similar situations!! Saying prayers of peace for you dear friend! -
You should try making cheese crisps. I use either a non-stick pan and melt grated cheddar (sprinkle it lightly into the ungreased pan) and cook it until crunchy, or you can also use parchment paper in the micro. They make great taco meat delivery systems "without" all the carbs.

Yes indeed! Yesterday I was pondering ruminating on why so "suddenly" I've gone from craving very very low fat, veggie laden (think craving greens) meals, to now feeling like all I want is fatty, salty, crunchy, creamy, gooey nonsense! I was thinking that the gut microbiota was out of whack from my food funerals and I was experiencing a bad bug bacteria bloom. And that was waking up my hunger centers. But it makes much more sense that something is stimulating the reward centers of my brain. Oh and interestingly, I had become super regular and now my um occasional irregularity is rearing its ugly head. So strange! I do know that when I'm not sleeping, my cortisol gets jacked.

@mylighthouse Hey Aggie! Gig 'em! It looked like you guys were getting the big brunt of it! Glad to hear it missed you! There's still snow and ice on the ground and cars. Isn't that just the craziest?

Progress Photo - 120 pound difference
FluffyChix replied to thegoat's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Dang!!! You're a lean, mean, fat-burnin' machine! Congrats on your amazing success. I concur--very handsome! -
Wow! Great article. Thanks for sharing! My sleep has been whacked since the holidays. And truly, I've been struggling to make good choices. Suddenly, instead of craving my healthy food options (swearsies...I crave them--like my spinach, mushroom, turkey sausage, egg white scramble--CRAVE), I'm craving things like chicken fingers with creamed gravy, instant mashed potatoes and corn. *dear baby jesus help me* There you have it...true confessions. Thank GOD I don't keep that stuff in my house!

@OneDollarBill Great idea! I have 3 of them from Santa! I now can't wait to cook in them as well as use them for freezer!!! @Creekimp13 I'm completely off track today. I didn't rest until 5am, then slept until 11am. (Snow day in Houston, TX. It's official, hell has frozen over...) So I just ate my cottage cheese slop: 1/4c Greek yogurt, plain 85g Daisy 2% cottage cheese 1 1/2oz Premier Vanilla Protein RTD 1/2 eye dropper Vitacost liquid vanilla stevia 28g frozen blueberries 8.5g sliced blanched almonds 6.5g Fiber One cereal Nutritional Information: 201 cals; 22g protein; 6g fat; 17g carbs; 5g fiber; 12g net carbs This holds me a good 4-5 hours without hunger. It is about 1cup of food, slightly rounded. I also make it with Granny smith apple, cinnamon, walnuts rather than the blueberries and almonds. Sorry no piccys. Next time!

Eating Too Much Fat--How Much Is Too Much?
FluffyChix replied to FluffyChix's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@KateBruin I'm so sorry about your gastroparesis! ((hugs)) That truly sucks. Glad you've figured out some safe foods! I think maybe sleevies don't have to worry as much from dumping from fats cuz they still have the area of the intestine that can digest fats. RNYs and DSers have had that part cut out (or repositioned in the gut--can't ever remember which one of these is fact and which is fiction). -
Kind of worried - daily calorie intake
FluffyChix replied to Brittanyblue's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@Apple203 My surgeon is in Texas and shares your surgeon's opinion. She really wanted me to have the sleeve until my EGD came back with so much GERD damage in my esophagus. -
