If anyone knows of a vegan bariatric diet group - let me know. I was an O/L vegetarian for 9.5 years. Gave it mostly up when I adopted two toddlers from China who were malnourished. They are now 13 and 15, and confirmed carnivores. I plan to go vegan once they leave home, but right now I cook stir fries for them.....…

I've tried all the bariatric vitamins and simply can't tolerate them. Gagging and nausea. I take two, one-a-day gummy vites per day, plus calcium citrate, B-12, and vitamin D. My blood profile is spot on; docs are happy - but it's taken a small solid year to get it right. I'm two years out from VSG, and eat a very healthy,…

At morning standup today, the test team lead came in and plopped two giant boxes of donuts on the table Right. In. Front. Of. Me. as a thank you for recent help from the whole team. All the developers and engineers in the room had invisible Martian antennae sprouting from the tops of their heads, totally focused on those…

Whoo-hooo!! REJOICE!!! This post made my day, and it's not even noon yet! You're going to be a Daddy (again!!)!!

Congratulations! I have heard so many horror stories about the band (scaring, complications, etc), and people needing revision. Seriously, I don't know why it hasn't been taken off the market. I wish you every success!! :)

I did over 10,000 steps at the Women's March in Washington on Saturday, despite standing stationary for several hours!! WHOOOP!!! :)

>Getting ready at the gym was quite stressful so I am really hoping that I can sort out the logistics and keep going. Surely it gets easier? Not really, IMO. I find it very stressful. Always forgetting something. And then there's the general "cleanliness of the gym" concept... rarely are they to my standards, when…

@jcavanna2 5DPT = 5 Day Pouch Test. A ridiculously named five day plan to "reset" your sleeve or pouch. Many people swear by it. I haven't tried it. There's a website: http://www.5daypouchtest.com/

Our Costco didn't have the Caramel Premier Protein shakes last week, but did have the Bananas and Cream. I bought a case since they were on sale. Have to say, I wasn't thrilled with the one I drank straight out of the package . This morning, tho, I mixed it up with ice, 1/2 a frozen banana, 2 strawberries, and a dash of…

Thanks, but I've given up on bariatric vitamins, and am using ordinary One A Day chewable gummies from Costco. Very reasonably priced, and no problem getting them down. I've developed a band-aid allergy in the past few years, so am very wary of any form of adhesives on my skin. Even contact with Scotch tape (e.g. whilst…

Me: 0 LNS: 4 Streak: 4 (the wrong way, unfortunately) But today is a new day!! Thanks for this challenge - I NEED IT!

In late February 2004 I drove ~80 miles round trip to pick up a gorgeous winter coat - the last one in its size left in New Jersey. It's black, buttery soft, ankle length, very slim cut, trimmed with black "fur" at wrists and around the glamorous hood. It looks like a coat straight out of Dr. Zhivago. It was a bit tight…

I so very much want to lose those pesky last 18 pounds down to my personal goal - this is a great challenge for me - thanks for starting it!! Starting weight: 155 Goal weight: 137 1/6: 1/13: 1/20: 1/27: 2/3: 2/10: 2/17: 2/24: 3/3:

Are you male or female? That makes a difference, too. Bottom line: when was the last time you lost 47 pounds in 2.5 months??!! :) Also, if 3-4 miles a days is your normal activity, consider increasing it. Your body is already adjusted to the "normal" of that amount. Try building up to 20 extra minutes a day (to start with)…

Oct 24: 158.6 Oct 31: 158.1 Nov 07: 157.6 Nov 14: 155.2 Nov 21: 155.5 - boo hoo! I was down to 154.1 last Thursday!! With all the wind this past weekend, I didn't get out enough, tho I did do some time on the treadmill yesterday. Nov 28: 155.4 - not bad, considering I ate and drank what I wanted - within reason - over the…

I've given up on bariatric vitamins and switched to one-a-day adult gummies, double dose. The only bariatric vitamin I could "stomach" changed their formula, and now gags me.

You can cut up a Quest chocolate chip cookie dough protein bar into pieces and make surprisingly good cookies out of them. See the article on the World According to Eggface blog. That's the only type of cookie I'll eat - very satisfying, too!

So, it's 15 degrees with windchill factor here - 23 degrees registered. And SUPER windy. I drove the car pool, meaning all my stuff was in the back of the SUV to make room for a kid in the passenger seat. Got to work - parking is lousy, I'm high up on top of a hill, did I mention WIND?? Could not bring myself to get out of…

I get them on Amazon, always hunting for the best price... altho sometimes that's Walmart.

I sure wish they'd become ubiquitous in Costco!! I've even submitted a suggestion box form with that wish! LOL!!

Not selfish at all! My kids love that we as a family are more active (hiking, biking, beach time), that they can wrap their arms around me, that I'm no longer the fat, old mom (I'm still an older mom, but hey, I'm skinny!), etc. I have so much more energy! I do have to make an effort to sit at the dinner table with them…

Here's my Q: how do you block trolls on this site??

Neither. Consider swearing off soda forever. Diet soda contributes to obesity - even the soda companies know it, which is why two of the biggies spent well over a billion US $$ this week to buy natural soda startups (both founded in 2009). I was a Diet Coke addict for 30+ years, 3-6 cans a day. It was my primary source of…
