I tried unsweetened almond milk and I thought it tasted horrible lol...wonder what everyone else drinks as well

I am a firm believer that all the artificial sweeteners and all that is bad for you. Eat what is natural. I have the real deal! I've been drinking 2% milk since I was a month out (postoperative.) that almond and soy crap is nasty! To me anyway. I just watch the sugar intake and breads.

Dori, that's great! I know you feel really good about that! Don't wear yourself out though, take care of yourself. Tomorrow is another day, you can focus on eating right then.

Hi y'all!! Been a bit since I have been on. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. I am doing okay minus the insomnia. I have been feeling the hunger coming back in the last few days, which scares me but I guess is normal. I am down 114 lbs now. I can't believe it. I went from a size 30/32 to a 20 in jeans. Everyone in my house is now on a health kick because it was just too hard to do it alone. I craved the bad food everyone was eating. I started showing the people I live with how much they were really eating and they finally understand. I still have some left incision pain now and then. I am so happy with my results up until now. The one thing I want to do more is exercise because I haven't really done that too much. I did in the beginning but not really had much time in the last 5 weeks or so. I have been more actively going out and meeting up with my friends to get me out of the house more since I work from home. I did try an 'adult beverage' and didn't dump, it was my 34th birthday. I even had two bites of scalloped potatoes tonight, no dump. I am still mostly just eating meat and salad. I have a really bad time with grilled pork or chicken but still love seafood and Turkey chili. I am still suffering from insomnia really badly but I think it is just related to the other stressors in my life right now. I am going thru my closet this week and getting rid of all of my "comfort" clothes that I have been hanging on to just in case. Even my shoes don't fit anymore. I am so proud of this group! We are a tough bunch!
