Hope your surgery went well

My fave go to meal is provolone cheese topped with pepperoni and microwaved 30 secs to 1 minute. Quick and easy meal. Tastes like pizza.

I'm an RN on nights. I hate nights but can't do days with all my kids.Meal plan. Bring small frequent snacks like berries, watermelon, and cheese.Don't bring money or your debit card to work to avoid the temptation of ordering food or snacks from the snack machine. Carve out time for SLEEP!Walk on breaks. Go to gym after…

I had vsg on 1/2016. Down 132 lbs. I have 5 active kids.

How much recovery time are you looking at?

I bring nuts, jerky and cheese in my purse. I buy a diet Mt. Dew while I'm at the theater. I get the kids popcorn but they try to eat my snacks.

14 months out and I can eat about 4-5 ounces of meat, no vegetables. If I eat meat and vegetables, I can eat 2 to 3 ounces of meat and a cup of vegetables at once. Junk food 1/2 a bag of family size Cheetos if I allow myself.( Honestly, probably all I could stuff in my face.) Average calories 1300 to 1700. On a couple of…

I logged every bite and I went over. Such is life. Tomorrow is another day.

I love their protein bars! I keep boxes of them in the minivan so the kids can eat between practices.

If you bite it, you write it. Thats my motto.

Amazing!!!!!!

Find new goals and new motivations!

That's great you have freedom and your life back! Obesity is such a prison.

I'm glad you are in a happier place. I think that it is good that you recognized your own needs and were aware of what you wanted out of life. My marriage was over before my surgery. I knew that I could only fight for my life (emotionally/ with surgery) before physically fighting for my life. My husband was physically…

That sounds good. I will have to try that. I am looking for something portable that I can eat in my car.

Instead of coleslaw, now it's sauerkraut. ;)

Wow! Great job!

Great job!!!

There are some meal prepping sites on pinterest that involve no cooking. When you shop just go to meat produce and dairy aisles. Avoid the junk food aisles. I had to retrain my brain. I would go up each aisle at the store and end up with some cheetos or oreos. Out of sight out of mind. Drink lots of hot tea broth or water.…

I did the sleeve Jan 2016. Ive lost 97 lbs so far. I feel great and do so much more activities with my kids. I wish I would have done it sooner.

Wow you've fought the battle with cancer. Obviously you are a strong warrior. This weight thing is nothing. You've got this! :) :)

Bell peppers cut in half. Place sliced deli roast beef. Put in chopped onions and mushrooms and cover with provolone cheese and microwave till heated. Quick and easy .

I like it on top of steak strips

If you bite it, you write it. That's my method to track myself.

Interesting article. I would love to see this researched further

Scrambled with black beans jalapenos and cheese. My kids wrap theirs in a tortilla but I dont.

I'm going to buy myself an above ground pool. I've started saving because I know am going to get to my goal weight.

I had the same job, same type of husband, and 5 kids. Got rid of the husband after 12 years of fighting. I have time to exercise, clean, and cook. The kids all pitch in. I've lost 90 lbs and the kids and I are much happier. The house isn't spotless but you can find a clean towel and fork. Instead of being so angry all the…

I told my littles ones they couldnt have the vegetable because it was too expensive and only for adults. It was a special treat just for me. The more I told them they couldnt eat it, the more they wanted to try it. Now they devour broccoli,cabbage, and asparagus. Try covering it in shredded cheese. Anything tastes better…
