Lol, the stuff gets used up pretty quickly in my house. Here is a pic of the maple Syrup we buy about once a year. (Milk container included for size comparison...) 😉

How much Maple Syrup do y'all think I'm using to cook with? Ahahahaha
It's a just dash- very likey less than the sugar amounts in commercial salad dressings (or I'd feel it 😭) & This **** is expensive...
Y'all are missing out on a golden opportunity

Absolutely!!! GO YELLOW!!!🤚🤚

I wondered the same thing. And I agree. No Syrup on my salad. Ever. Thanks. But it looked great until I knew it was syrupy kale🤣😂

Good to know my team is not the only one who is ok with it.

For me it’s a good trade off. Since surgery Water hasn’t tasted the same so not only is it helping me get down Fluid but also tmi - go to the bathroom...

I’m still on the hunt for another alternative/hoping the water problem goes away.

My favorite part: I used her she used me
But neither one cared
We were getting our share
My musician friend sings this one and it is one of my favorites.

I have had carbonated drinks since early on post WLS. I know many would have an issue with that. It worked for me, and my surgeon's team grudgingly was ok with it.
But for me, personally, I wouldn't add 60 extra cals a day, in non satisfying (to me) liquid. But if that trade off is worthwhile for you, I don't see a problem with it.

Let's Go!!! 😂

No, I drink hot Kombucha tea instead now

Question for everyone: Has anyone drank Kombucha after surgery? I ran it by my nutritionist and my surgeons assistant and they both said the carbonation is not as bad as soda so it wont cause stretching. They weren't concerned about the sugar or calories because its so little.
Does anyone's doc say otherwise? I love the stuff but I'm still afraid of drinking it on a daily basis. I've replaced my morning chamomile tea with a bottle of this.
These are the two brands I've been drinking. I find the Humm to have less carbonation.

Ok, I give you Fun With Fluff! I made frozen Fluff Clouds. For 2 of them...only 34calories. They taste like a frozen type of ice cream sandwich cookie.

Ok...

People are going to judge, and judge on a variety criteria, your car, you zip code, you accent etc. That's unavoidable IMO,
But if an attractive, thin, fit man or woman had a cart full of chips, frozen pizza, Hamburger Helper and ice cream. Would they be judged as harshly or even at all? Why is that same food fine for someone skinny, but is interpreted as some kind of moral failing if it's in a MO person's cart?
I feel like the dichotomy between "fat people food" and "skinny people food" is false. Skinny people eat Cheetos, and fat people eat Zoodles. The same food is viewed through completely different lenses depending upon who's pushing the cart.

Nah. This reeks of judgement.

I think there is another side to it .... I am so grateful to be free from the judgement I felt as when I was MO.
I like not being judged for what's in my shopping cart. No one bats an eye when a skinny person orders a double cheeseburger.
When you're MO it's like you can't win. You have a shopping cart full of kale and people think, "who is she kidding"

Finally got a chance to get out of my regular work-from-home clothes (read: workout gear) and put on some actual clothes for a client-site meeting:

My pic from the other day was not clear lol this was my outfit
And (although you can not tell from this angle ) I lost the battle and dyed my hair ombre dark auburn/black

I’m in Albuquerque for a conference, but snuck out to shop a bit. I may have bought more turquoise than I originally intended. Woops! At least they weren’t the really expensive stuff.

Look what I got @Cheeseburgh
Off to an Oktoberfest event!

Attended a baby shower tonight so I had to wear real clothes
Also really happy for the couple and that my baby days are over 😂

I have been very depressed since I broke my ankle 2 weeks ago. 6 weeks of no weight on it was a devastating blow. I have been sitting here in a funk binge watching my 600lb life.
For the last 2 weeks I just kept thinking OMG I am going to stall sooo bad. My hubby kept encouraging me to get on the scale to keep up with my progress, so today I got past the fear of gain and HOLY CRAP 199 with my splint!!
I also bet another goal I finally weigh less than my hubby!!
This was the boost I needed today as they took my staples out and confirmed a month more of no weight on my ankle. Thankfully I'm not really capable of snacking or the last 2 weeks would have been horrible.

you guys look AWESOME!!! hope I do as well …..

So cold and rainy out today, I actually wore real clothes over my athleisure wear 😂

Don’t mind the tag I was putting together outfits for an upcoming trip and the jeans are still new lol

I am just a couple of pounds away from goal and trying to stop my weight loss. I bought a whole wardrobe back in June that doesn’t even fit me now. I am finally springing for some nice items as I have a trip to Philadelphia coming up tomorrow! I bought this T-shirt yesterday and my daughter took a picture of me in the store when I tried it on. I really enjoy shopping now. I have never enjoyed shopping in my entire life since I was in my early 20s. It is something I could do every day now!
