So thankful for this forum and my WLS buddies!

Just wanted to check in with my November buddies and see how you all are doing! I'm so grateful for this forum, because I get to see that I am not the "only" one dealing with things like being a picky eater, having trouble with getting in liquids, being a slow loser, what to eat, did I stretch my pouch... etc. I love reading all of your questions/answers, and though I rarely post here, I feel such a comraderie with you all. You all understand! Bless you all, lynnie

Hi Lynnie, I usually hang out on the CA board but I like to check in with my fellow November newbies too. I am bored with food already so I need to shake it up a bit. I had one two week plateau but it broke with 5 lbs overnight. I'm down 32 lbs so I'm pretty happy with that! I need to get more creative with my food. I even bought Susan Maria Leach's book Before & After for some of the yummy recipes. I can't wait to be further out so we add more exciting foods (spicey). Well I hope you are doing well and happy losing! Summer 240/208/140

I love Susan Marias book for the recipes too.... its a given that she is concerned about the protein content as well as the carbs. So far, most of what I have tried.... which is the protein shakes and pureed stuff.... has been absolutely wonderful!!! B

B the Sphinxy One and a California girl!! Well I better get cooking then!! I did make the artichoke dip for Thanksgiving. I don't know if the recipe was from her book or website! I also ordered from bariatric eating. I ordered the flavorless protein powder. I add in to my hot drinks but you can add it to foods too. Hope your weight loss is going well!! How long until you get to eat real food? Summer
