I sucked it up and got on the scale this morning... afraid of what I was going to find...

I was shocked... was only 205... I felt like 215 to tell the truth... so I was happy... considering all the pain meds and food I felt like I was eating this week.

I'll just keep doing what I've been doing all week... and Monday starts a new week... and new job... I'll bring my lunch and be away from food...

PBing on a chicken tender right now!!!!!!!!!!!

Also... I think Ciree looks alot slimmer this time around and I noticed that she got smart and brought a TANKINI with her instead of a sports bra... I think she is funny, very sly though..... she was the person who had never been camping and freaked out when she had to use a leaf going to the bathroom....... so she has really grown on the show.......... but that woman is sly and might just of outed herself at tribal.....

WOOT WOOT Laura!!!!!!!! the 230's!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to kill a child...now...not any child, one in particular! I just had tears in my eyes and told the principal..."Listen either he leaves the classroom...or I do, you decide!" Tired of arguing w/ 8th grade punk asses for a living.

I feel for you. I wanted to be a teacher, but the thought of those asshats that ruin the class for everyone (I despised them in school) were too much for me. I don't have the temperament to deal with it.

HUG A TEACHER :smile2:

Just so ya'll know.. I am eatin more stuff I never liked before, and now like it kinda. I still hate Tomato sauces and most italian food..

But I'm eatin more chicken, and getting into spices. I think the lamb & duck really turned me into spices. I read roasting ideas for chicken, and they all have either/or of certain spices.. but I like mixin it all together!

I'm making a roasted whole chicken tonight, it's been marinating since last night in lemon, 4 crushed mill peppers, thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and evoo.

AND I'm makin eggplant.. and not frying it. Never made it without frying before, but a co-worker is a vegetarian so I was askin her for recipes that are healthier with eggplant. Going to try roasting slices in some concoction she told me about. I'll let ya'll know how it goes!

I have never eaten eggplant in my life....how does it taste? Can anyone describe it?

It tastes like chicken..:smile2::tt2:

Eggplant.. hm.. best description IMO.. uncooked it tastes just like a summer squash tastes uncooked (yuck). And cooked, I guess it tastes a little like zuccini. I have always fried eggplant in the past (soak in salt first), and it's good. It goes bad so quick, so I rarely buy it.

I bought some this week to make something like ratatouilli, but later found out tomato/tomato sauce is main ingredient in that and.. no thanks.

I'll let ya know how the broiling in spices goes. It is good, it doesn't have a strong flavor of its own though.

Made it home. Did my FIL's hair.....listened to all my downfalls, life is normal!!!

Pamela---on several of the sites I have been to, they have a "favorites". Like on your home page toolbar....or on your TV remote. When you like something you can right click and add it to your favorites, then when you want to go there, it is listed under that tab. I have never seen one here, but would like to. Think I might bring it up and see if it might happen. I am simply lazy!!!

DD took me to lunch----nothing set very well. Ate some shrimp, and some salad....not much of either, but it is still sitting there uncomfortably. Going to pour just a few sips of soda and see how that does, then try some pineapple....

Rick wants to go to dinner tonight....yuck!

Well I am going to go unload my dishwasher.

Will check in later....see that Terry has not been here.....poor girl.

See ya in awhile~~

I know how it feels to want to beat the living crap out of my own kids...I'd probably be in jail by now if I was a teacher! LOL

Hats off to you girlie....for staying out of jail! LOL

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
