Melody, I had surgery the same day as you. I weighed 345lbs. I now weigh 246lbs. Went from a size 32 to a 22. I can pretty much eat anything in small portions but I couldn't eat pasta. Someone told me to try angel hair pasta and I could eat it.Barilla even has angel hair with added protein. So yummy in pasta salad. You might want to try it. See you lighter. Joanne

PayDay! PayDay! PayDay!

The one I ate was surprisingly good. I figure so long as I don't start buying them by the case, I should do fine. I've completely lost my chocolate cravings post WLS. I used to be a Godiva girl and believed life was too short to eat cheap chocolate. Now I'm not even tempted by the sight or smell of the stuff. I suppose that's a good thing. I have had licorice cravings though. Dreaming about it and everything. I have no clue what it means.

I miss my McD's Quarter Pounder with Cheese. But I have tried some burger and it dosn't set well. Also Chicken and Turkey don't settle well either. I used to be a chicken holic, hopefully by Thanksgiving I will be able to tolerate turkey... I can sneak in some turkey burger if I add it to a pot of beans or soup and pureed it. Thats the only way. I can tolerate pork tinder loin and chops, tuna fish, salmon, and shrimp. So I got a pretty good variety that is available. Breads and rice, I don't want to even go there... Nope, I have heard to many bad stories about them. I don't realy miss them. Infact I tried a bite of lasagna a month ago and nope no pasta for me it felt like my pouch was going to explode... I ended up in bed at 6 pm that evening and my gf thought I was going to die... No pasta for this guy... Now I have tried sips of soda, Dr. Peper and Vanilla Coke were my favorites before WLS. But it just did not taste the same when I sipped it. So I just stay with my regular cup of coffee or skinny lattes or Iced Green tea. Tom 536/411/200 ??? - 125 lbs in 5 monthes!

Topic: RE: PayDay Pro Bars

OMG Lynda, You had to say Pay Day ! That used to be one of my favorite candy bars before WLS....Need I say more....LoL. Dang, I can handle sugar too.. But I try to stay away from it as much as possiable. Infact one of my treats is Hershey's Kisses.... I have them stashed in the freezer and when I need to have my fix for chocalate. I go to the freezer and grab only 2.... LoL. But the Pay Day sound awesome. I am going to have to keep a look out for them. I figure it will take awhile before they show up in the stores here in Alaska though.. Thats good though... Then I will forget about them and won't go there, I will just stick to my Kisses. Take care, Tom

Topic: RE: -104lbs!!! new pics on profile

Congrats on your loss so far. I had surgery april 27th, and of this morning i too am down 104lbs. I cant beleive it. i started out a lot higher than you at 420lbs, and now down to 316. I am SOOOO happy with the changes for the most part. like you i havent had the major hair loss, and for the most part i can eat normally, but still have occasional vomiting depending on what i eat, and if i eat that one bite too much or one moment too fast. Keep up the good work, and NEVER think of yourself as a failure. even if you werent to lose another single lb, think of it as look at how much you have already lost, and its more than you had lost prior to having had the surger. i

you. anita b. 420/316/???

What foods do you miss the most...anything unhealthy....fried food, Mcd's fries are the best... wendy's double burger...God How I would love a burger from wendy's. I have not veered one time off of this. Low carbs, No sugar... I want a pop but am too deathly afraid to drink even a sip. Especially when it was 100 degrees out side. Better off with out it all. 100 lbs down now...went from a 30/32 jean to a 16... COST OF A DOUBLE BURGER AT WNEDY'S..3.50 COST OF A 44 OZ POP FROM SPEEDWAY..1.20 COST OF WEARING A SIZE 16 JEAN 5 MONTHS AFTER WLS...PRICELESS GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE/ RAE

Topic: RE: Exersize?

I go to Curves 3x a week on my lunch hour.. It is a 30 minute total body work out. Then I go back to work put the fan on and blow the stink to the co worker I don't like..

I have also heard drinking ice water causes you to burn more calories because of the energy it takes your body to warm itself back up! Linda
