I am 2 months shy of being 8 years post op! WOW I cant even believe its been that long. Still not at my goal weight but working on it everyday. I have been able to lose and maintain a 100lb loss though. Working on losing 45 more. You can friend request me if you'd like. :smile:

Don't waste your money on that. If you want to just throw money away, send it to me :) All you need to do is be in a calorie deficit to lose weight. Nothing fancy is needed, ever.

I have been on this app far too long and I have soooooo much data here. I am not risking losing it. I paid for the premium. You dont "need" the barcode scanner. Just type in what you are looking for and you will find it.

WOW!! Congratulations!!!

1674 for me as of today. been here since 2011 though

I'll be completely honest. When I first got the email, my first instinct was to leave. Find another app. But man, when I tried to log my foods in another app, I quickly realized that everything that I've done (losing 140lbs) is here, in mfp. all my recipes, all my foods, everything. It's so much harder to leave, so…

Usually on the bag its for dry. So what I do is weigh out however many portions I need. (I cooked 4 portions yesterday). The serving was 45grams for 1/4 cup. I weighed out 180 grams (b/c I wanted 4 servings). Once it was cooked, I weighed the cooked rice in grams and then divided it by 4 so I knew my portions would be…

moving on to another app... after 11 years.. SMH

I cook with it sometimes. Wherever a sweetener is needed. I put it in oats, muffins, pancakes, protein shakes, yogurt. you can do a whole lot with them.

Ok I cant figure out how to see my macros by meal? I can see where it shows me the percentage of calories per meal, but not protein, carbs and fat. Am I missing something?

I am thinking about upgrading to premium b/c I want to see my macros PER MEAL. I think you can only do that with the premium.

WOW!! Thats awesome!! Congratulations!!!

OMG that is a great idea. I am ALWAYS changing up ingredients and have to go into the recipe to change it. WOW. why didnt I think of this! Genius!! Thank you.

Hi. I am a little over 7 years post op VSG. You can friend request me if you'd like. :smile:

Sunday I made a pan of the best blueberry oat bars that I got from this site. It made 6 servings so I packed them up for breakfasts for all of this week. It was a hit. I am making another pan for next week too. https://www.skinnytaste.com/baked-oatmeal-with-blueberries-and/

I am a little over 7 years post VSG. I remember eating yogurt ALOT, Boiled eggs, protein shakes, string cheese, I used to eat those P3's for lunches.

that sounds delicious

If you are at your goal weight I would start the reverse process to get you to your maintenance calories. 1300 seems low for someone being at goal. IMO

I do both. I put one scoop of collagen in my coffee every morning (the unflavored one) and I also try to keep my protein intake up as well and I have a protein shake (whey) every afternoon. this is the collagen I use. I've tried many and I find myself going back to this one. I've been taking collagen for years. I have…

Pasta is easy for me. If I am cooking an 8oz package of pasta, I know there is 4 servings in it and I just weigh the cooked pasta and divide by 4. Rice on the other hand... piSSes me off!!! LOL..

What is a millet?

That reminds me, I have a frozen pizza that I could eat too. Thanks LOL

I am over 7 years post sleeve (feb 2015). Originally lost 145 lbs and gained back 60. I am down 30 of those 60 lbs now. 30 more to my goal weight. Take advantage of the honeymoon phase. The first year or so is when I lost all the weight. Being 7 years out, I can eat like before surgery so watching my intake is a must to…

I eat Dave's Killer Bread too. The powerseed one. I can only eat one piece at a time though, otherwise it'll mess with my stomach. I love that bread.

The pancake one is amazing. I just won a giveaway on IG for 2 bags of this stuff!! Thank you for posting this.

I highly recommend Elyse Ellis's macro friendly food app. she adds protein powder to all of her desserts. I made protein blueberry muffins the other day that tasted like yellow cake. So good. I havent made a bad meal by her yet.

What about the two ingredient dough recipes? You can season the dough however you like. This is what I do.

I use unsweetened almond milk and if you need to thicken the sauce up add a tiny bit of xantham gum..

same here! I am struggling so bad to stay on right now. It works for me as long as I stay on plan. I love the way I feel while in ketosis but getting to that point is so hard right now!
