I gave up diet cokes four years prior to my sleeve but my surgeon is no on carbonation too. I’m almost four years out so I’m like almost 8 years out from cokes! But no Coors Light or Sparking water for me. I also don’t do straws. That is of debate among some based on surgeons recommendation. My surgeon is no straws too so I stick with that. I don’t miss carbonation or straws. Like everyone here has said each surgeon has their set of rules of dos and donts. I was of the mind set of what ever his plan is for me I’m doing it. So this is his and I’m doing it. Works for me.

So sorry to hear about your dad. Safe traveles to NY. 🙏🏻

I love looking inside the pantry and fridges of the diff posters on here. Esp the ones from diff country than US. Products and brands are diff. Neat to see.

Wow that’s terrible! How can you get in 64 oz when you are in that kind of pain when you drink or eat?! Hope they find a solution for you!!

Man I’m going through the pics of everyone’s goodies. All looks so good. Inspired me to take a pic of the dinner my husband made tonight. They are all having pizza tonight so he made this special for me (since I really don’t do pizza)and my parents who like both Shrimp Asparagus Yellow squash Butternut squash It was SUPER YUMMY!!

Yummers! Most of my salads don’t have lettuce in them but I like them both ways, with and without! Yours looks delish!!

Looks good but I’ll be honest I’m going to have to google bulgoli

Looks so light and fresh!! Love it!!

@sheribear68 So exciting! Congrats!! I also had a tummy tuck. I had muscle tightening as well. I had good abs as well but having kids and that extra weight that we all carried for so many years makes the center part of the abdominal muscles separate. I def wanted my PS to pull the ab muscles all in like a corset. I love love my TT. I also did a breast lift and Aug I have thought about a thigh lift and have gone back and forth on it. Glad you have worked so hard and kept it off!! This is a big treat to yourself for all the hard work!! Congrats and def show us some pics!!

Oh no. So sorry to hear that!! Is there any way to reverse the surgery? Hope you get to feeling better. 🙏🏻

Thanks so much😊

@kristieshannon That looks soooo good!!!!! I’m not a creative cook but I can appreciate it when I see it. My hub loves inventing recipes too. He is a really great cook Anyways yours looks sooo delicious!!

Hey there. Try and focus on the prize when you are feeling like you want to go to the old places to eat that you went to before. A lot of times it’s only head hunger. Head hunger is real and it takes mental work to figure out how to recognize when it’s that or actual hunger. Distract yourself with a bike ride, a walk, drink some water etc If I were you, I’d stay away from all those tempting places until you become confident in your ability to resist. You CAN do this. Hang in there. This website is amazing so I’m glad you posted here. There are so many people on here that may have better advice than mine. I hope I was able to help a little.

Hey!! Texan? I’m in Texas as well! I was self pay too but I can’t remember what my BMI was. Had it done here in the states though. Excited for you. It’s been a life changer for sure!! I Lost 100 and am almost 4 years out(sleever)

Salmon is my all time fav fish to cook/eat. Looks really good! I’ve never had cauliflower Mac and cheese but that looks good! May have to see if my hub will make some. My hub loves to cook and is really creative in the kitchen w meals. I hate cooking but do it bc I have to. My hub is about to go bk to the office instead of working from home so I’ll be back on kitchen duty Boy did I get spoiled w that!😩 Send the recipe for the Mac and cheese if you can! 😊

@sophie7713 Looks delicious!!!!
