I am sorry I sounded like that .... I was just I guess wanting you to focus on you and your journey ahead. I too was not fat enough except for all the fat around my organs and eating whole large pizza's and the High BP and the CPAP machine and type 2 so when a DOCTOR tells me it is killing me I pay attention. I looked at all the WLS and also I qualified by BMI. Sure I got questions and "looks" but I want to live longer and the heck with their thoughts. Nearly 7 years out no one asks or looks at me anymore and I am happy happy happy! Some people are made to process food... my stomach was large and my small intestine was longer than normal. I could diet forever but every scrap of food was used and I ate a lot! WLS is a tool for you to get healthy and it usually works ...sure you can try to defeat it but why would you go through it? I try to stay above 175 and below 195 and I might crow about it but I have been successful. I still like food and eat the stuff I like but a little of this and some of that and I am done. Also I focus on other things as well... Grown kids need attention and visits .... a clean garage .... yard work.... Church...Friends.... chatting with the good people on this forum.... I look at your posts and know you want this to work and it wont always be easy but if you work the program follow your doctors and think about how important it is for you I know then you will do well. Your success will be your shield and your happiness will show in your love for others. WLS Lightweights forum is for me because I trust these folks completely for they are kind and gentle and they support me no matter how long I am away. I had a DS/BPD and most folks get a different WLS as DS is quite drastic in configuration so I don't share too much about my habits of eating and maintaining of protein and vitamins. As a matter of fact I had a bit of a custom job that my surgeon did on me that works so well the DS forum got mad at me about how I maintain. so here I am and I feel safe here....Jeff
Day 4 and doing well. No major burps until this evening when I had Quiche with mango salsa. Lunch was chicken and wild rice soup, a new selection from Campbell's, but I didn't like it. I just don't like any canned soup. The tomato in the salsa may be causing a problem. I had oral surgery 2 weeks ago and they gave me Ibuprofen, 800 mg. Vicodin makes me itch so can't take that. The Ibuprofen wasn't a good choice either but I didn't think I would need it. Wrong!! My jaw ached until last Saturday. I'm thinking the Ibuprofen did a number on my tummy.
Tomorrow I'm going to stick with shakes, yogurt and maybe cottage cheese and quiche without salsa.
Ideal Shake Cookies & Cream protein shake (12 g)
Moon cheese (10 g)
Chicken & wild rice soup (8 g); saltine crackers; Pepperjack cheese slices (8 g)
Unjury Strawbery Sorbet (21 g)
Kellogg's Protein Bar (8 g)
Ham & Cheese Quiche
Looks like I need a little more protein. Maybe a cup of SF hot chocolate with protein powder.

I'm getting my daily steps up by forcing myself to get up and do a circuit of my building each time my Samsung Fit2 watch buzzes me for being inactive. I'm nowhere NEAR my 8000/day goal but at least I'm consistently above 5000 steps.
B- roasted veggies
L- eggplant soup and tuna tartare
D- not sure - going to a watch party for a friend who was on Jeopardy (airs tonight)

I use to shop at Lane Bryant all of the time. When I was your age no one sold Petites so I had to find something to fit and then get everything hemmed. My favorite store now is Macy's Petite Dept.
I'm a Victory Secret 34DD now and thats only because I have 2 inter-tubes that I have to pull up and fit into it....

I find it absolutely hilarious that I still wander around the plus sizes before I finally head over to the petite section. I wear small tops and size 6 pants, and it just completely blows my mind!
You're doing SO great! I'd love to go back to month 2 and start over, just because it was so much fun. I found myself giggling for no reason, too. LOL especially on the scale!

Well I'd say as far out as you are you would know if you had a sign. After 8 years I still hiccup when I've taken an extra bite.

I only wear Lane Bryant and I don't really foresee that changing. I've ranged from a 46H to a my current 38F (or 42DD). I doubt I will get much smaller and I need something to hold these puppies up. I think I was a 36C/D in highschool, so maybe I'll get down there.

Yes, goo,d kinda sweet, cinnamon flavor. Amazon has the best price for me. Vitamin Shoppe is close, but I can get it the same day. I guess it depends on how long you want to wait and if you have Prime or not.

You are a lot younger than me so hopefully everything will bounce back for you. I have to wear a suit that has long swim shorts to cover up my flabby legs. Fortunately I found one that I really like. I only buy Victoria Secret bras. I have too much extra mush to push into an over the counter bra.
