It finally happened! - I'm five months out and got my first case of the foamies last night.  I had a few bites of dry chicken, then a few cherries and it must have been the combo of the dry chicken firs...

Just a little rant. - My relatives are bugging my mom,  telling her that I just can't lose 20 more lbs! ! I'll look sick! I'll get sick!  I'll be too skinny!  I'm kind of past the point of politeness. ...

Sleeve friendly cookout food! - We had a small backyard cookout today for father's day. Last night I cut up beef sirloin tips, boneless chicken breasts,  onion, mushrooms,  red pepper,  and cherry tomatoes. I let...

When people call you "skinny" - I've always been overweight. Since I was a kid. So it's very weird that people are all of a sudden calling me "skinny". Now, I'm still 190lbs and wearing size 14 (almost 12), but I...

3 month checkup - health NSV! - Today was my 3 month checkup and it went pretty well!  They seemed pretty impressed with my weight loss,  maybe even hinted that I was losing too rapidly. I am down 60lbs since my ...

NSV? - I'm the type of person that attempts to carry as much stuff from the car to the apartment in one trip. I'm sure I've come close to killing myself in the process.   Today,  while j...

Your favorite VSG-friendly foods - I find I eat a lot of the same things throughout the week. I have my staples, and then I make a dinner or two to have for meals over a few days. Now, I know a lot of this is proces...
