suggestions for an iced coffee addict??
I LOVE McDs sugar free french vanilla iced coffee. As in I would totally marry it if I could. I saw someone I follow on instagram post about how she made something comparable with a premier vanilla protein shake and some iced coffee squirt stuff from Folgers. Found the squirt stuff, but can't find Premier vanilla shakes.…

TMI, sickness :/
I woke up this morning to horrid rumblings down below and the toilet and I have been bffs all day. No fever, I'm drinking water but I've only had two saltines today. I also ache from my bra line to my knees like I ran a flipping marathon, almost to the point of tears. Another friend at work has similar issues today.…

Totally unflattering pics, but wanted to share and thank you guys for your support!
The first pic was the day I came home from surgery on 3/8 @ 236ish#, the middle was on 4/10 @ 216, and the left was 5/10 @ 206. What a difference! Long way to go, but it is awesome to be able to analyze and see yourself how others see you. Taking progress pictures is not my favorite thing, but it is a good thing, and I…

7 week follow up appts
Surgeon and nutritionist are thrilled with me so far. Dr asked me to leave a testimonial on the website! I talked about not feeling hungry and the Dr smirked and said he was jealous! He says he shouldn't struggle doing what he does but hunger gets him every time! I told him I would try to keep my bragging about it to a…

30 pounds gone this morning!
Just needed to toot my horn ;)

forgot food for work :/
I have cottage cheese here, but I can't eat that all day :( I have babybel light cheese wheels here. They said no cheese until 6 weeks out, if I chew it to complete mush do you think I will be ok? Otherwise cottage cheese it is all day!

Think egg drop soup is ok at almost 4 weeks out?
I know the broth part is ok. Not sure about the egg portion.

I'm down 10% this morning!!!!
I'm not going to make my original March goal of hitting 215, but weighing in this morning at 221.2 means I have lost 10% since starting my 2 week prep!!! I don't feel very different yet but people are noticing :)

Free MFP vs paying for premium?
Does anyone pony up for premium? Is it worth it?

2.5 weeks out post-op with random of pain near stomach/ribs
I'm sure I'm just being paranoid. There is no rhyme or reason really to when I get them. Feels kind of achey. I'm just terrified of being in that 1% that has a complication. Talk me down :)

Coffee :(
I really miss my decaf coffee/sf creamer/stevia. It appears to instantly go through me now :( . Any suggestions other than accept it and move on?

How long did it take you to figure out how much to comfortable eat once you started eating food?
I just got upgraded to purée type consistency yesterday (it was like Christmas, way more options that I imagined!) and so far I feel like I've barely put anything in and I feel sick. So excited to eat egg salad even though I blended the crap out of it

Hi!
My name is Becky and I am getting my VSG on 3/7, and I am on day 2 of my pre-op low cal/high protein diet. I have struggled with weight and food addiction forever. I've tried countless things and yoyo'd so many times over the years I can't keep track anymore. I am so looking forward to my new life where I eat to live…

Protein pudding
My new fave!!!! Sugar free instant vanilla pudding, 2 cups fair life milk, 1 scoop injury protein powder, whisk and pour into 4 portions! Soooo good!

Scale suggestions?
I have just a basic digital from target and it drives me nuts because I could step on it three times in a row and get three different results. Anyone have an accurate scale they love?

4 days out and feeling pretty good!
No major pain meds yesterday, only Tylenol! Up and moving about but struggling to get enough protein in. Excited for this support!
