I actually don’t drink plain water at all due to medical issues, so, I stay hydrated with tea, Coke and pickle juice (but ONLY from Vlasic kosher dill pickle jars) No other pickle juice with do.

Strawberry Shortcake...

I didn’t even know the community side existed until like a week ago...anywhoo. I’m gonna be 46 in a couple of weeks. My diary is open. I exercise 5-6 days a week. I drink pickle juice and I spend an insane amount of time on Netflix. It’s a damn shame.

Rah Rah! I used too a cheerleader, yup! So, I’m good at cheering people on

A sweet caramel Sugar Daddy sucker that sticks on your teeth for hours. Hello, cavities

Very sweet but can through down on a grill ...Oh, make good baked beans

For the record, I’m admitting, I’m a bad cook. I know this deep down but, I will try to mimic a Bobby Flay recipe in a heartbeat. I usually end up spending most of my time Googling measurements and “What in the hell is aioli?” See I know that BECAUSE of Bobby Flay...and yet, don’t have ANY of the ingredients to make it.…

I grew up in a home where we ate at home, and with meals that lasted at least 3 days. We rarely went out. So, if we had meatloaf on Sunday, we had it on Monday (as a sandwich) then Tuesday stuffed in a green pepper until it was gone and then my mom made another batch of stuff. I admit my kids look at me when I say…

If your diary is a story in monotony...then mine is a poem. I literally eat the same foods everyday. I have a safe list of foods that I eat (not because I want to, but because I have medical issues.). I miss the spontaneity of just going “eating” but I have learned to pick monotony and feeling better over that...it’s not…

Nice introduction! You do a lot! I believe the best tool for me getting serious about being honest with my food intake was the scale. It’s quite humbling when you actually see what a serving size is versus what YOU think a serving size is

Thank you the responses. I actually think I’m going to meal prep for 3 days to start and just pre log my food. I haven’t done a meal prep in about 3 weeks but I think it will help in case, I want to try something new. I ate eggplant yesterday and liked it, so I want to incorporate it in my rotation. Oh, and thank you the…

I had a gastrectomy due to an illness, but it’s pretty much the same things in terms of what to eat, how much, when or dumping etc. if you have any questions, just ask.

Hang in there! You will have your GOOD days and definitely BAD days, just take them in stride and learn from them. I have a total gastrectomy due to a digestive disorder, but it doesn’t matter the “Why?” We both ended up trying to figure out what we are dealing with. Add me, so we can chit chat

Lol! I am on track to turn 46 in a month! ( well, if I make it that far!). I feel more grounded at 45 then I ever did in my 20’s Yup

One of my favorite snacks. (You can find it at Walmart, Target (and although Aldi’s) Laughing cow cheese. One triangle is 35 calories. Spread it on your favorite veggies or a low cow cracker. Just hit up with a lil salt and pepper... Dude! It’s so good! Calorie count for two wedges- 70 calories for 2 triangles . Get out…

Me too!!

Please add me as well... you can never have too much encouragement! Enjoy your journey. The food and the bad...hang in their kiddo...theses getting better!

The more the better...add me on, my friend

No no no! I can’t believe it Girl Scout cookie season all ready. Crap! :'( Good Luck! I’m sure you a tough cookie. Get it? Cookie?
