Lost half of the weight(exactly) I want to  lose, yay for me, just had to share. If it doesn't show up properly its will be taking a wee while for my ticker to show it. yay!!

I watched it but I didn't tweet.  A lot of questions I had where answered tho and I thought I would get freaked out but amazingly I feel calm like I can do this.  I tryed to get my hubby to watch but he said noway lol his stomach can't handle it.

I just wanted to say this is one of the BEST posts I have EVER read! I may feel that way because I feel like you have described my habits exactly. I have not been perfect either, however, I have not eaten any rice, bread (sans some breadcrumbs in meatballs), pasta, nachos with steak (one of my fave meals pre-surgery) or icecream since the surgery. If I open the door to those foods again I know it will be almost impossible for me to close the door on those flood gates again. I would rather go without than, risk everything I have accomplished so far. I have even thought of trying something as a substitute for icecream (Ben and Jerry's makes a frozen greek yogurt) but. that is still a slippery slope for me....so I drooled and looked at all the flavors but I did not succumb to the temptation. We have decisions based on food everyday and sometimes we do not make the right ones.

Thank you for this post! It is now bookmarked.

my doctor told me to increase my protein. Ive been getting 100 to 125 gs a day and the hair loss is slower but still bad. I started washing it about every 3 days instead of every other day to try and slow it down. I got tired of cleaning out the shower drain cover. It was depressing. Now I'm sort of over it. I have hair to spare still though I am considering cutting it. It's nearly to my waist and looking stringy.

Hey,

Awesome suggesstions everyone! I am not very creative at all when it comes to my food I usually eat one type of week and then try something different the next week and it goes on in a cycle like that. So I am so grateful for all of the suggesstions!!!!

wow!  the shake recipes look awesome!  THANK YOU!  It's easy for me to whip something up in a blender and carry to work.   I will have to look them over carefully though to be able to stay within daily caloric allotment.

Thing is to try, right? 

I think you'll be ok. :)

 Hi.  I'm 3 weeks out.  I thought I'd be back to work after 2 weeks.  I went to the Dr. And he didn't give me clearance to go back.  Said I had not healed enough.  I did have a hernia repaired during my sleeve surgery.  This may have something to do with his decision.  I was very surprised since it seems everyone on here and other message boards seem to have no trouble going back to work.  Luckily, I have short term disability insurance that will cover me until he clers me to go back.  I would not have wanted to go back to work after 1 week.  I thinki it's too soon.   I wish you good luck and a quick recovery!

Yeah, a bunch of reasons I went with the sleeve - main one is I didn't want malabsorption - I wanted my body to successfully extract nutrients from food for long-term health.
