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 :)

      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.
