I'm only 20days post op and have lost 23 lbs. Surgery day I was 363.

I made dinner for the family last night, I just made sure I was full from protein shake before I cooked, so I wasn't so tempted. I did have my daughter plate the food and I left to finish payroll for the hub's business. I do feel the need to do this 100%, but I'm also not trying to sabotage myself by smells! If you've ever…

I'm on Bariatric Advantage and I mix water/ice/instant coffee powder/vanilla/and 1/2 teaspoon of stevia with the chocolate. I actually like it!! Now to figure out what to put in the orange/vanilla to make it better.

I got lucky yesterday. Hubby worked late so he picked up something before he got home, one kid went to dinner and movies with friends and the other was working a double shift. On to Day 2!!
