@greentealael glad you created this thread!

@greentealael awesome! [emoji48]

Any ideas for crunchy toppings to have with yogurt? I want something like granola but the protein and carb numbers aren't good.

Good mind trick. I'll have to try that.

Damnit! Now I want donuts!! Not even joking. Food addiction is such a flippin' struggle for me! Fortunately I'm pretty lazy so I doubt I'll actually drive somewhere to get any. Exstatic that I've loss nearly 100 lbs but some days are so very hard!!!

Why would it be shut down

I echo what@greentealael said: "Your CEO scared about YOU... You must be really amazing." Put that in your confidence bank@arrivan!

What an amazing story. Your CEO just may have actually saved your life, and who knows how many other's as well. Best wished on Monday and throughout the rest of your journey. You've got this!

Donuts are definitely one of my downfalls. I almost made it through yesterday but ultimately succumbed to having 1/2 of one. My coworker brought in a box but kept it out of sight from me. When I learned about the donuts mid afternoon I teasingly scolded her from hiding them from me. Turns out she and another coworker intentionally kept them from me because they knew I'm watching my diet. I thought that was really sweet of them actually.

You should post this on the Quotes & Inspirations thread https://www.bariatricpal.com/applications/tapatalk/index.php?/topic/416904-Quotes-&-Inspiration

Congratulations! So exciting for you! I'm only 2 lbs away from reaching the same milestone!

@GreenTealael I think you should start a Revenge List thread! It'll be fun!

Wow!! You look great!!

What brand of yogurt has the most protein and least carbs?

I just found Siggi's that seems to have good protein and carb #s

Ok I think that's really weird that your boss said that when he can't even point to the dress code manual

Gosh what a great feeling that must be! Good job!

I noticed that most of these posts are about the struggles trying to increase calories to stop from continuing to lose weight. I find that interesting. I'm 9 months post sleeve and still have about 15 lbs to go to reach goal. This last month or two it's been real slow to come off. I just can't imagine getting to a point where I have to try to stop from losing.

I agree with others, focus on water intake. A week after surgery I was back in for IV fluids.

Oh I like that quote!

I could have written your post word for word before my surgery last August. My decision was to only tell my family and a couple of very close friends. I work with two of my friends that I told but made them promise not to tell anyone else at work. I'm very happy with my decision. I've lost 90 lbs now. People at work started noticing a couple months ago, asking what I've been doing. My response has been that I'm logging all my food, not eating the often times 3000 calories, focusing on protein to keep me full, reducing carb intake, and exercising (that last part isn't entirely true and I really need to get going on that). I also said that I'm quickly approaching the age that my Dad was when he died of a heart attack which was related to his obesity (all true). When I had the surgery last summer I didn't tell anyone at work what type it was. One person asked and I just said I'm not comfortable talking about it but thanks for asking. A few weeks ago a different coworker point blank asked me if I had bariatric surgery. Completely caught me off guard and I felt it was kinda rude. I looked her straight in the eye and lied. I said no, then gave my spiel about logging food etc. Best of luck on your journey!

Love these! They look great on you!

Thank you for sharing! Congratulations on your success and hard work!

I tell them I'm focusing on my health. Eating far fewer calories than I had been eating, primarily eating protein to keep me full longer, reducing carbs, and logging it all on an app to keep me accountable. I tell them that I am approaching the age my dad was when he died, and it just finally made me take action. Best of luck in your journey!
