  • My doctor suggested I try a new scale that pairs with an app called Active Era. Besides your weight, the scale also reads your BMI, BMR, body fat%, subcutaneous and visceral fat weight, bone weight, muscle mass AND body water and protein. It's been a game changer for me! The numbers are averages based on your age, sex,…

  • Samesies with ground turkey. They didn't even know the sausage was turkey last night LOL. I love avocados but I never thought about putting taco stuff in one. Good idea!

  • Thanks for the feedback. I do drink my protein shakes, and they make me feel full, but it doesn't stay with me. Even if my tummy feels full, my head is like OK, where's the food??? I like the idea of trying to bulk up my drink....maybe add a banana or ice chips and make a smoothie rather than drink It from the carton. Wish…

  • I was in more pain with the lipo and missed more work but that was mostly because of the bruising and swelling. The first few days after RNY was a little tough but mostly just trying to figure out my new routine. I took a full week off for the lipo but for the RNY, I had it on a Thursday and was back to work the following…

  • So I think of myself as having 2 transformations. About 2 years before my weight loss surgery, I had liposuction of my neck and chin area. It's the best thing I ever did for myself before RNY. So here's a few pictures of both of my journeys. The one in the black top marks my 1 yr anniversary after surgery. I went to the…

  • @spangdora I just looked at the app you suggested, Plan to Eat. That is right up my alley! I'm going to download it and try it next week and see how things go.

  • I try to plan, I make a menu every week, but nothing ever goes as planned! Instead I just keep what I like on hand...I have eggs or cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast, soups or leftovers for lunch and try to cook a healthy low-carb meal for dinner. It's the leftovers that kill me! I hate to throw out food, even when I…

  • @spangadora , everyone's journey is different. I ended up losing more weight during my pre op preparations than I did after my surgery. I'm 2 yrs out and I have actually started gaining some of my weight back....MY WORST NIGHTMARE! But, I am back to watching my macros and increasing water and exercise and I'm finally…

  • Ok, since we're all ladies in here.....the first time I could "landscape" myself was a huge victory! I've been paying to be waxed for years cuz I couldn't even see the garden! LOL

  • @spangadora I am finding that my surgery group is much different in their philosophies than what I have heard from others. They would not give us a calories or macro range. Their thoughts was they wanted us to learn to listen to our bodies....eat when we are hungry, stop when you are full. Their main focus was getting in…

  • Well......I started with 2% because that's all my husband will eat. He says he HATES fat free anything. But I have been known to wash the container and add FF cottage cheese. With all the goodies he doesn't even know the difference LOL. Typically I have a small carton of plain plus one of my "salad" from above in the…

  • My surgery went well so I can't think of anything to make it better. I had RNY so I stayed overnight for 2 nights and I was not prepared for how hard it would be to get up to use the bathroom and how often I needed to go. Also if you need shots afterwards to help with blood clots, have a back up person ready to go if you…

  • My must have is cottage cheese mixed with chopped cucumber and roma tomato. I like to add a pinch of seasoning salt to mine. Sometimes I'll add peas or a little red onion or chive, but always the tomato and cucumber. It's great on it's own for a snack or as a side dish. I also add small salad shrimp, crab or shredded…
