October List of Surgery's

Update!

I hit 50 pounds loss today! And went down a Complete pant size. Probably 2, but I have found that I wearing too small of clothes before. And now those same clothes fit me a lot better. I have an entire trash bag full of jeans that looks horrible on me.. way too baggy. I have never been more excited in my life. I've been doing excellent with fluids and Protein and all this christmas shopping and christmas activities have me walking. I eat pretty much everything, minus a few things. I switched from rice to cauliflower rice and use zuchinni noodles instead of Pasta, stuff like that. Lettuce wraps instead of Buns. And turkey instead of beef. But I still eat beef, turkey and chicken. Some pork (no bacon..hated it anyways) and I'll have nibbles here and there. My biggest problem is pretzels. I eat a couple to curve my salty crunchy craving. Sweets. Blah. Don't want them really. I just miss my coffee. So I'm looking forward to that. My first post op apt is Jan 14. Hopefully I'll be 26 pounds lighter by then. I want to be 199.9 when I go!

I know I'm not suppose to drink coffee but I just started drinking a 1/2 cup every morning with the rest filled up with my vanilla Protein Shake for breakfast! Big coffee drinker so I have vowed to never go over 1 cup total forever. I know I know I can't be perfect & its cold out side!!! I can't wait to get under the 200 mark either. I weigh tomorrow so I will see where I'm at!!

Exactly! I miss the cold! I've been drinking half cups of hot chocolate with water... but I mean, that's probably not any better.

Why is it we can't have coffee yet? I can Jan 14. At 3 months out but idk. I plan to have some on christmas morning. I seriously can't do christmas without it. Esp this year. My mom and grandma and I would all drink coffee watching me and my sister/kids open ptrsents. Even as a kid, my mom would pour me coffee on christmas morning. And this is my first year without both my mom and grandmother here with us. So I plan on having a little.

@@whoahbabyy can you drink the premiere Protein vanilla shakes? It taste so good 1/2 & 1/2 with coffee. It gives me 2 cups to enjoy in the morning without going over my 1 cup limit, & maybe coffee isn't so bad diluted with protein shake!! . They only told me caffeine is dehydrating, but since I drink all my Water I figure its ok. I think you should still enjoy your tradition on Christmas morning its not that far off from Jan 14, just make sure you drink plenty of water!

That's so odd. I drink unsweet tea...

I drink tons of water. (Well my require amount)

And that's what I was thinking... still enjoy it. It's just coffee.

I haven't tried it yet. I have unflavored protein though lol

Has anyone had any trouble eating Salmon? I had 1/3 cup of it baked & It came back up. First thing that has done that to me. I thought I ate it slow enough but my body just didn't want it. Strange.

[miiasan 370]

@@60&goin4it no, no problem with salmon at all. Maybe you just need to hold off and try it again in a couple of months. If you can eat other kinds of fish it would seem you could salmon! I had shrimp for the first time today - yumm!

Just hope it was the salmon and that you are not getting sick!

You are doing well with your weight loss! Congrats

[60&goin4it 931]

@@miiasan Thank-You, I eat all fish but I guess I will wait awhile like you suggested & see later. Someone said it may because it can be kinda rich so we will see!

Hi everyone! Wanted to wish you all a Merry Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is still doing well! I'm down 30 lbs since surgery Oct. 8th. I'm at 200 yea!! I seem to be stalled this week so hopefully I will be under 200 by New Years!!! I have more energy than I have had in a long time. Feeling very good!!! Best wishes to you all!!

Thank you @@60&goin4it!! You are the glue that keeps this group together. We are blessed to have you. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm doing well too since surgery October 15th. It still amazes me the changes since then. Losing weight, needing new clothes, being energetic, confident, humble, and sociable. Incredible. We have so much to be thankful for this Christmas! Thankful for others, even those who were negative about our choice for surgery and for those who may not be so happy that we are losing weight. Those are the ones who (subconsciously) push us the hardest. Merry Christmas!!
