Vegemite, banana and butter on toast. A carb feast with B12. Enough of these will give you type 2 diabetes, but you're very articulate about it.

what does this stuff actually taste like?? (Assuming there's something remotely comparable....)

I've never had anything remotely like it. Even the copy cat brands (that you probably don't get) taste completely different. Main thing is its not sweet - a little salty. I use it to make gravy if i've nothing else to use.

Try it - the trick is to keep it thin - it's not jam

Yep you want to keep it thin because you don't actually want to taste that shitED :P

I am so tipping off border security about you.

I have a feeling it would taste like bouillon paste.. Cause that's what it looks like.

Not really beefy. Although I use it to make gravy sometimes, just with boiling Water and some herbs, the family refer to it as "vegetarian gravy".

What I really miss is the one small biscotti I used to dip into my morning coffee. It was my excuse for "well I can't take my pills on an empty stomach". Seriously, the lies we tell ourselves just to get a little sugar into ourselves! That may be one of the few things I still crave. But we don't buy the biscotti anymore and although my husband threatens to make them from time to time, every time he brings it up, I distract him with a long list of honey dos....I wonder how long before he catches on? :P

Biscotti is actually pretty low-cal and you should be able to tolerate it because it is so crunchy...

Agree. My sleeved wife does these with her coffee on occasion. I think they are OK.

Salty and yeasty and a little bitter. It is nice on toast but you have to use literally the thinnest smear you can imagine. It is nice with a spoonful melted into beef bouillon.

I haven't lost weight for a week guys. I think it's because of all this food you keep sending me over the interweb...

or possibly too many toasted soldiers?? (PS we call that cannibalism...it's frowned upon). Perhaps your staples haven't passed???

From a pm to butter this morning...

"I'm just riding my exercise bike.. I'm really struggling with food right now and feeling out of control..

I actually gave in last night and had a piece of bread with Peanut Butter slathered on at 10 pm.

I need to stay off of my own fuckng thread.."

Sorry just thought I'd blast you guys with a piece of reality...

I didn't think microscopic staples weigh that much, but you could be right. Maybe they are holding Water? If my surgeon was really that advanced, he would have stapled my mouth shut.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
