Just a thought, with so many people adding InstaPots from Amazon Prime Day this week, would be fun to have a running thread of recipes from members in the community. 

I picked one up and found a recipe online for some barbacoa beef that I'll be

Today is Amazon Prime day

 

They have the 7 in 1 Instapot on sale for $69.99 from $119.99

I try to bring snacks with me to work... Normally thats a little bag of 1oz beef jerky (Field Trip brand from BJs, 80cal, 1.5g fat, 2g carb, 14g protein)

If I get hungry later, I normally buy a bag of roasted/salted almonds from the breakroom (

Its a new week, ya'll! 

I mean, I guess it depends on the type of calendar you prefer if it starts on Sunday or Monday.. either way :P

For me, I'm trying to have more pep in my step. I'm so thankful for so many things in life, including

Well, just kind of hanging out

Unfortunately for me, several of the members here pretty much took all my excitement from sharing or posting anything (thanks guys, you sour pusses) so have been pretty quiet.

Had my 6 week follow up this

I tried to search and most recent I found was around 2012

 

Curious what people are using for the syringe size on their injections (for those that do their own)?

I just picked up my prescription... the pharmacist said 23G x 1.5"

I just do not understand it, guys.

I see it posted by people all the time that "exercise does not help with weight loss". I understand that with being so caloric restrictive with our surgeries, exercise has way less impact.

I just refus

Saw these on meh.com, which is kind of like the woot site I posted (people who started woot started Meh after they sold woot)

These look pretty rugged and durable. Not insulated, though. Two 24oz water bottles for $10. On Amazon they are 4.5 st

Today marks 4 weeks since I had my VSG.

My starting weight when I went to my first surgeon appointment was 315 and change

My starting pant size was 42, but tight, and on my last belt notch.

My starting shirt size is 2XL, but tig

This will probably be gone before most people have a chance to see, but if youre intersted in any of the 3 fitbits theyre currently on a woot off (woot off is limited supply, so once they all sell out it moves on to another product)

I've been stalled for a week and a half or so. Thankfully my stall has seemingly broke from the last two days of weigh ins!

Last night we celebrated fathers day with my dad at his house (tonight is my wifes)

We did a huge clam bake, and

So, I am fighting a cold right now and was going to run out and buy some Alka Seltzer cold and decided to google if I could take it. Low and behold, thats a big negative due to the NSAIDS in it...

What a bummer, thats my all time favorite cold

I know a lot of people use Unjury or Premier, but theres a protein brand I used to use when I was power lifting called Cellucor (they make all kinds of supplements, BCAA, preworkout, protein, etc)

 

They have some pretty awesome flavors

This weekend was a pretty good one for me. I've been wanting to organize my garage and clean it up, so Saturday I headed to Lowes and bought some organization shelves. I wanted to build them from wood, but figured for the price of metal and lack of eff

I think I'm going to buy a pocket scale.

I have two lunches a week that I'm supposed to dine out with the other project manager, and for the most part I've done well with my portions. A few times I've either felt awful from eating too much or a

First, I want to preface this and make it ENTIRELY clear I am not trying to troll or start crap...

I know the vets and a lot of members advise against eggs because they cause issues. I know I have had issues a few times after having eggs, but I

I decided to do some research into this, seeing as how serious a few people on this forum are that members (new people) reference the VSG stomach modification as a SLEEVE rather than a pouch. To me, they're both adjectives. They both reference the newl

So today I've been post op for 10 days.

I've lost a total of 34.5 pounds, or 20 since surgery.

I've gone down in my belt to a smaller notch as of yesterday

My jeans (42 I think) are fitting loose
