Tiffykins 673 Posted November 30, 2009 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I never thought being home could feel so good. We got in about 1:00 a.m. We had a good time. I had a lot of trouble eating because #1 they eat absolutely nothing healthy so I lived on Protein Bars, and meat. I was able to eat some stuff on Thanksgiving, and it all tasted so good. All in all it was good trip, but we won't be going back for quite some time. John made me step on the scale when got home this morning, and I dropped 6 pounds while we were there. I guess it's a positive to an extent. I tried to eat, and make good choices. But, when everything they cook is fried in bacon fat or Crisco, it makes it a little difficult. Luckily, I was smart enough to take Protein Bars, and stopped off and bought yogurt, and other things I could tolerate. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. I'm trying to get caught up with everyone. It seems like I've been gone forever with all the new members, and new posts. I also see a lot of people had surgery this last week, and hope you are all doing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 30, 2009 Welcome Home Tiffy! I can't remember if you left before or after my gall bladder surgery. I lost my appetite after surgery and managed to lose 6 lbs. Two more lbs and I will have lost 100. I hope you had a good time in spite of all the fried food. I've been putting unflavored Protein powder in my Greek yogurt and getting in a little extra Protein that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carolyn24seven 11 Posted December 1, 2009 Glad youhad a safe trip. Bonus about the -6lbs.WOW. I thought we stopped loosing that much in one week after the 2nd month. I lost 1 lb.I weighed on Wed and then again on Fri. Honestly, the normal binge foods just did not taste that good to me. I litteraly had one bite of pumpkin pie. I am back to drinking coffee again. I use FF hazelnut Creamer. I only get a half cup down now before it gets cold. I could not drink the wine they gave me. I tried, 2 sips, just did not go down well. Hubby saved me, he drank it. lol. Hope everyone did well over T day. glad you are back Tif. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiffykins 673 Posted December 1, 2009 Glad you're home safe and sound Tiff and that you had a good time. Congrats are eating healthy. I'm glad you didn't gain, but you damn girl 6 lbs!!! (Your doctor isn't going to be happy with you though) It was the weirdest thing that I just looked at all that greasy, fried food, and was so "turned off". By the 3rd day, Caysen was asking for a simple bowl of Corn Flakes with a splenda packet because he couldn't had all the ickiness. I have my 6 month follow up in December, and I know I'm going to be "in trouble" with my surgeon because of my loss, but I promise I haven't been the best sleeve patient in attempts to get my loss to slow down. I had gotten it slowed down to an average of 2.5lbs per week this last month, and then BAM this happened. I hope me getting back to the gym this week that will help slow it down. If I make goal by the first of the year, I'm going to get a good long lecture from the dietician and surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted December 1, 2009 Mac, (where ever she is) made goal in 6 months. I do believe she also lost 100 lbs in 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
