Blondiee 278 Posted October 30, 2013 I thought it would be cool to have a random thoughts thread. Surgery or non-surgery related. I know I sometimes have thoughts that aren't really "thread worthy" but I'd still like to get my thoughts out...or typed out. 3 Cherryhair, Ms skinniness and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReEstDec2013 40 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Wondering how do you count your protein/carb intake when you are on solids. For example, if I cook my own meal how do I know what I am consuming to keep myself on track? Just wondering????

AtlantaRed 651 Posted October 30, 2013 You can use My Fitness Pal which a lot of people on here use. They have a huge database of foods already entered and I think you can even enter in your own recipe and it will break it down. You can they keep track of all of your percentages. Its a great tool in case you slow down or hit a stall to see if/where you mightcan make changes in your counts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) I've had my sleeve for 18 months, and I'm 1 month post op on my TT. I can finally buy clothes from anywhere and I look so much better in dress clothes than I ever did. And I'm telling you.... the choices are overwhelming. And it's getting expensive.

abetterme4.2 268 Posted October 30, 2013 My random thought: I am overwhelmed when it comes to shopping. It took me 4 hours and 20 mins to buy a single pair of jeans this morning. Im sure it will happen once i get the hang of it, but i really thought i would enjoy shopping. There are plenty of choices and 'cuts' to choose from. Aargh. 6 Blondiee, Danni-doinit4me, ElyQuint and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blondiee 278 Posted October 30, 2013 I can't wait to just go into a store and buy a pair of boots and have them fit my calves. Soooo tired of paying $65 for calf extensions!!!! It's the price I have to pay to be fat and stylish. 3 Tarheel79, bflyeffect7 and Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondiee 278 Posted October 31, 2013 December 5th can't come fast enough. I've been buying clothes like I'm not about to lose weight?!? What's that all about??? I'm addicted to shopping. :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 31, 2013 I've bought 10 ties in the last week. I had to get rid of all my old ties because they were extra long....for a fat neck. Too long for me now. Considering I wear a tie every 2 years or so, buying 10 may have been overkill. 6 Tarheel79, Bombs, Ms skinniness and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted October 31, 2013 I am a Ross Dress For less fan. Best for tops and dresses, not so much jeans are slacks. Fun to keep wardrobe updated with Macys type brands for $10-20 an item 3 Bremartus, ReDbEaN and Blondiee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
