Yup that's about right. We went out last night and I got a half rack of ribs. 2 was all I could eat. I took it home and have been munching on it little by little.

Haha....yep, that's it! I usually try to pick a protein-y appetizer & ask for a veg on the side.

Every time we go out I always order a regular portion..got tired of waiters asking me if I did not like the food and or could they get me something else. Once even the manager came over and asked me what was wrong with the food...

I have a built in cleaning department with me and he eats most of my left overs before I get up from the table. The rest he takes to work the next day....

I think he loves that!!!!!!!

Feels normal to me now!!!!!!!!!

I share with my husband. I have become a very cheap date to take out for dinner. If I do have left overs, I get three sometimes four meals out of it.

Grammy, your post reminded me that I'm a little behind on updating my profile, by about 60 pounds or so :)

Which Tom Hanks movie? Captain Phillips or Mr. Banks? I loved Captain Phillips but haven't seen Mr. Banks yet.

hmmmmm

27 lb weight loss - thats great - what more could you ask for???

maybe having a 98 lb weight loss :)

good for you

holding the door for you to enter the century club

always room for one more smiling face :)

yep keep those profiles and tickers coming/updated

hint hint to others ;)

seeing the movie Mr. Banks with Tom Hanks et al

my 83 year old mom has told "us" no more sad movies

sometimes hard to find a good comedy (not a stupid crazy one)

this looks good - not total comedy, which works for me - "little" more serious side too???

keep up your ggggggrrrrrrrrrreat job :) (i know you will :) )

good luck

kathy

congrats :)

      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.
