Hi y'all, My name is Tasha Coco, I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'm a BBW (of course) Lesbian Mom. I was banded by Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey Mexico on May 25. My top weight was 427 lbs, my current weight is 355 lbs. This has been a much harder journey than I thought it would be. I struggle daily with my food choices.

Hi Tasha,

Congratulations on your weight loss. It sounds like you are doing GREAT!!! I think a number of us here struggle with our food choices, so you are definitely in good company.

P.S. -- I think that is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen :)

Good luck,

Tasha, welcome!!!

Your puppy is SO adoreable, and you are doing GREAT!!!

So glad you found us!!

Join in all the fun the wonderful people here create. :)

Struggling with food choices - a common theme. I believe it usually has to do with diet mentality. Once you throw away dieting FOREVER, it is easier to make healthier choices more often, because you know nothing is off limits if you're DYING to have it.

It is truly astounding how much a little thing like changing a mindset can help us on our journeys.

Best of luck!

Hi Tasha, welcome!!

I took the liberty of resizing your photo to avatar size. Right-click on the picture below, and save it to your desktop. Then go to the User CP button here at the top, click on Edit Options, and at the bottom of the page you'll see Avatar. Click on Change Avatar and upload the file that you saved to your desktop. That should make this little photo into your avatar, the pic under your name.

Nice to meet you and your furbaby!! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
