Topic: RE: What new activities are you enjoying??
It's funny, I never realized how lazy my weight was making me. I was hiding in my room sleeping most of the time. My daughter was effected by this although she never said it. Now I am getting better at going out with her even if it is just to the mall. I see a difference and I like it.
Topic: RE: Protein
I buy frozen shrimp, keep 5 or 6 in a freezer ziploc with ice and take them to work, I also bring my bottle of ****tail sauce so I have a high protein delicous snack at work. Good luck with the battle to consume massive amounts of protein LOL

I know what you mean, kind of. I can only have 3oz of food 3x a day (2oz of protein 1oz of fruit or veggie) My Nut wants my extra protein to come from Protein Shakes. I wish I could try to get a food snack instead of liquid.
3oz fills me up at the time but I am starting to get hungry about half way between meals and the shake just doesn't cut it!
It seems like some folks can have a lot more then that! I have a wide variety of foods I can eat but I stick with chicken, turkey, tuna, egg salad, and fish. I haven't tried beef or pork yet.....I think I will wait awhile for that.
Have you tried beans? Refried....Chili Beans....Navy Beans they are high in protein and fiber.
Good Luck finding something that settles.

Hey, ya absolutely - I just added you too.
I'm really bad about measuring my food, but I'd say I eat about a large handful of food, usually less. I'm walking a few nights a week, but it kinda varies with what I have going on that particular week. I'm not doing weights like I'm supposed to, but I just bought a condo at a place that has a small (and rarely used) gym literally like...15 steps away from my front door. Sooo....hopefully I'll get on that very soon! Deli meats in general don't sit well with me and pre-op they gave me gas anyway. I try to eat as many bites as I can because I'd love to stop drinking my protein supplements. Soon, I hope!

Thanks Nicole, I feel a little better. I am allowed to eat pretty much
whatever, actually my nut told me to try more of a variety.
Meat, any kind doesn't sit well. I tried turkey deli meat today thinking
that might go down ok, after a couple bites my tummy let me know
it had enough LOL.... I'm just so fed up with it, so tonight I BBQ chicken,
noodles and corn. I didn't want to try the chicken, but I did have a few
bites of the other stuff. Maybe we are only able to just eat a few bites
and that be it. Maybe I'm thinkin I should be eating more bites. Does
that make sense? How much can you eat at one sitting? I know the time
will come when I can maybe eat whatever I want, so I'm trying
not to bug out too much. 85 is great. Are you excercising? I wasn't, than
about a week ago I started walking for 30 min a night. Hey can I add you as
a friend? Since we are similar in weight loss date and how much we have lost.
Good luck to you..........Dorean

Hey Dorean,
Don't feel so alone, I also find that a bunch of "Marchers" can eat wayyy more than I can, food variety-wise. The one food item that saves me which IS on my food list is chicken. I don't seem to have any trouble with it as long as it's moist and I chew it well. When I'm not in the mood to make it I get a breast or two from Boston Market and I'm set for a few meals. I also love eating edamame. I buy it frozen so it doesn't go bad and nuke in the microwave with a little water in the bowl I sprinkle some kosher salt or hot sauce on it, just enough to give it a kick, and that goes down okay. PLUS it's great on the protein. I stopped eating cottage cheese and eggs for a couple weeks because I was getting extremely sick of them. Today I ate chicken chili from a bbq place for lunch. I'm not allowed to eat tomatoes yet because of the acidity, but I picked out the beans and chunks of chicken and ate very little of the soupy part - it did the trick!. Dinner will be tuna salad with low-fat mayo, some chopped up pickles mixed in atop a lettuce cup.
What is on your approved list? Or is it that you're allowed to eat more variety but it doesn't agree with you? Regardless, congratulations on the awesome weight loss so far! I had my surgery on 3/7 and I'm right about where you are - down 85lbs. We rule! :D

Hi Everyone!!! I just found out there was a March surgery date board.
What a retard LOL That's great because I love to see how people are
progressing that had surgery around the same time as I did. But anyways,
I've notced you all can eat way more than me. 
..... I had my surgery
on March 5th and I still can not eat any meat. I can't bring myself to eat
another bite of cottage cheese, or any kind of cheese for that matter.
I used to eat it all the time. I can eat carb control yogurt and soup.
That's about it. Talk about boring!!! But on the plus side I am down 80
LBS........Keep up the good work everyone, Dorean
