I live in Iowa. I love my neighbors and friends but hate the state. Moved here ten years ago for husband's military contracting job on the arsenal. We're originally from NJ and NY family now lives in Virginia Beach and his family lives in Colorado which is likely where we'll be moving once the kids go to college and get out of my house lol I need space and mountains and outdoor things to do. I feel trapped by flat plains and no forests or mountains here

I started off mixing in mild canned enchilada sauce with my Beans. My stomach handled that well so I tried the spi y refried Beans and some medium sauce. OK with that as well. I made some buffalo chicken dip with low fat cream cheese, canned chicken and Frank's red hot sauce and that was OK as well. Start with the mild and work your way up.

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely take it slow!

Spaghetti squash with a little Italian blend cheese.
Has anyone tried it yet?

I have a renpho scale, once you buy that, the app is completely free. It tracks your weight, BMI, and a whole slew of other things like bone mass, muscle etc. And it shows you your trends from each weigh in, not just weight, but all the other things it measures. Not sure how accurate that part is, but I love the scale and the app.

I downloaded this app and plugged all my numbers in I also got the premium just to check it out. Seems awesome. I screen shot the predictions and want to see if they r right :) this is a cool tool! Did u say it tells u about stalls etc? Can u explain where to find that part! I may weigh in every day for a bit to get some numbers in cause it says it works best with as many weigh in as u can do. I plugged in all my previous weigh ins but it isn’t many.

I’m still trying to figure it all out. Maybe that was just the advertisement because I’m not clear on how it will tell us when to expect a stall. I’ll just keep plugging in my numbers for now. But it is nice to see an actual prediction of the date I’ll reach my goal based on my current progress if I keep doing what I’m doing.

You’re doing textbook great!! Your surgical team must be really proud. Let us know if you hit a stall when you start exercising more. Seems to happen a lot.

Thank you Sarah, I have done Cali a few times but do NY every Feb (not this year for obv reasons). Have skied Heavenly, Tahoe and Breckinridge in Colorado too so know what a beautiful place you call home. As a side role I am a trustee for a Military based charity and have been invited to Pendleton Camp in San Diego to run some classes and talks for the Marines. Looking forward to it.

Yea I can’t find the stall part but I think it’s maybe trying to get I through the stall to see the bigger picture?

Taj found the answer to stalls. It’s with the moving average under the log book. Is where it helps with stalls. This app is really cool and there a a couple cool weight prediction methods in here.

I love spaghetti squash. I am still not able to get veggies that don't smush with a fork, but I'm excited. I miss my raw vegetables so much too.

my brother-in-law and parents-in-law live in fort Collins, I'd like to live in one of the communities outside of it because much like Denver it's become quite populated. No more flat ground for me lol ideally I'd like to live in the Yukon or Alaska somewhere, but I think it would be too far from my family

This past week I started eating salads. With cucumbers etc. it sits so much better than so many foods! It was so refreshing. The cucumber and celery!!! And tomatoes! I have missed them also!! It’s just lighter to me. It feels lighter it doesn’t feel stuck.

      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.
