Omg I made taco wonton cups...MAGIC!!

That sounds awesome!! I'm sooo maken it this week...THANKS! Ps: rao's sauce is my FAV!

I'm in one right now to. I'm 4 months out and this is my 3rd. It is frustrating, but my blog and support from others really helps me!!!! Keep up the good work. Make sure you are hitting your protein goals, keeping calories in the proper range, and just move and have fun...it'll keep coming off!! Head up!!

Rpyle you look awesome!!! What a fun trip to take and to experience things in a smaller body must have been awesome!!!

I'm doing great today. I was really scared yesterday. Thank you all for responding, you saved me from a panic attack! I have no idea what I would do without all of your help and support. I actually ate a bit more than normal yesterday and my nose was a little stuffy. Perhaps that was a slight cold paired with…

Krissymae88 don't worry about not getting the full feeling, I didn't get it in liquids or purred foods. I panicked and thought that I'd never get it...until I did! Yep, chicken salad did it when I switched to soft foods...yay!!!!! I'm 4 months out and I agree with the others..:different foods means different results. Day…

Awe I wish I would have gotten won ton broth!! Booooo me! One thing I loved was sugar free chocolate pudding made with fair life skim with pb2 stirred in right before eating. I also enjoyed tomato basil. Ps: I'm 4 months post op and just started eating soup again a few weeks ago lol.

I've been thinking about a new scale myself. I bought an awesome one that could read my weight at 417...but now I'd like to try one with more features!

I totally understand! Yay to a great and close new job and super yay to yoga!!

I chose RNY because I wanted the bypass/malabsorption. I see this as a "bit more help". I do not have dumping syndrome...based on some things that I've eaten (cheese and no sugar added foods). I'm very picky with what I eat nutritionally, but I've had small servings of things with a bit of fat and sugar. Who knows...maybe…

Hahahaha. The same thing happened to me! I decided that I really needed to connect with others face to face and just be around people who are like me. However, my first meeting was also a plastic surgery pitch focusing on boobs...sooo sad. It was informative, and I will need some plastic surgery in a few years...BUT I…

My diary is open! Send me a request if you'd like!

Fantastic news!! Keep up the great work!!!

When I got my date I freaked out. I asked if I could move it out two weeks. The nurse said, "nope, you worked hard for this, you are ready." Turned out she was right and I just had a moment. Day of surgery...cool as a cucumber! I only had a week and a half between notification and surgery! However, my prep time was 6…

I journal and that helps me a LOT. You are welcome to check it out. I do an entry each week. www.butyouhavesuchaprettyface.com I had a big stall at the same time post op. I'm 4 months out of RNY and happy to report that I'm losing steadily again. During that time, I focused on exercise, pushing my endurance, and racking up…

Welcome to this awesome group! I'm always open to new friend requests!

I've had luck with truvia. If you can't do any sugar free, try "no sugar added foods" or something with a low glycemic index like agave nectar or something similar. I have a WICKED sweet tooth as well. I didn't have these cravings prior to my new lifestyle...odd lol

For some reason I have hesitated to post soooo many of mine because I was embarrassed of all that I've given up. Many of them are small but put a big smile on my face...bending over to tie my shoes, fitting in patio chairs without worrying that I'll break them, meeting the weight limits of exercise equipment, being ABLE to…

Welcome!!! This is an awesome group of super encouraging people! The boards are a WEALTH of information and motivation!

How incredible!! That truly is an amazing trip. I'm sooooo happy that you were able to experience this! Kudos to you!! Thank you for sharing the pics too...info love fighting pics. Now you got me thinking about rewards when I get to goal weight!!

1. Make 5 new and healthy recipes 2. 8 mile hike 3. Hit 70,000 steps one week 4. Attend my monthly support group meeting

I LOVE this thread! You all are such amazing inspirations! This week, I ordered company uniforms for the first time in my life. I'm a member of the Senior Leadership Team, and I HATE that my work clothes are close but never the same as my peers'. This was one huge step for me towards feeling like a real person.

My husband is kinda struggling adjusting to my new body and his continued increase. He's not comfortable being intimate right now, so I would totally put a male tart up in a nice condo...if I weren't a married Catholic girl BAHAHA. Right now...I'd TOTALLY be someone's sugar-mama!

Ki4eld nailed it! I had to lose quite a bit of weight before I even qualified for surgery. I started my journey at 5'2" and 417lbs! I lost 82lbs presurgery by following about the same process ki4eld outlined above. By the time that I hit my presurgery diet...I was ready! I'm not one to buck dr's orders plus I was REALLY…

lol you are turning into a nympho...it's ok though. You are in good company at least.

Hahahahaha! Thank God I didn't have this when I was 20...I got myself into enough trouble lol! It is really odd and pretty funny. I say that I know know how a 16yr old boy feels during puberty!

Nicely done! You look great!

You are not alone! I get almost obsessy over it! It is a great thing that there isn't a navy pier or fire station close to my house...I'd be molesting the boys Hahahaha!!

Wow Kenda, you look awesome! Great work chica!!

I'm sorry that you ended up in the ER BUT Yay referral. I'm prone to depression, and the system surely doesn't understand that one simple "blow off" from a lame office employee can literally dictate recovery or slipping further away. I'm praying for you Vikki. Please let us know when you have your appointment!
