WOW Moments!

I was shocked to see that I had toes also!! LOL

LOL, you are funny...but sadly I can't see mine either and I also can't sit on the floor so....If I get there I have a really hard time getting up.  I am only 31 it is so sad.

My best friend since I was 4 (39 now) Moved away just before I had my surgery in Feb 09. She just came down after being gone my entire journey, I picked her up at the train station recently as she came down for a visit, she walked right by me. I had to chase her down LOL..She said she did not recognize me hehehe!!

while walking in Walmart with my little tiny skirt (from size 18 to size 3) my husband was walking behind me instead of beside me. I asked him what are you doing? He replied saying he didn't want any of the guys checking me out........   That for sure was a wow moment.......   WOW.

Cowgrl.

Thats awesome for you but i just came home from the hospital like3 hours ago. And was looking around for something to nibble on. And it hit me...i can nibble anymore :)  I was hoping i could get some food choices from ppl that have accomplished so much!!! My insurance didn't help at all with mine so i was a self pay client. I was excited about having the surgery on Monday. But now that i'm home i'm not quite sure what i have to absolutely do.  SO far my list of foods are chicken or beef broth, SF popsicles, SF Jello. When can i start getting into some foods that actually have flavor? Can you help me plz. Now i'm just a bundle of nerves thinking i'm going to fail at another attempt at weight loss. I also hear about protein chips...not sure if i should attempt that or not. Can you plz give me some examples of menus to go by or a website that i could use to look up some of this stuff.
Thank you so much
Tammy

HI Tammy: 

I hope you are feeling better....DId you get a diet to follow from your surgeon?  I was on liquids and protein shakes  for 3 weeks. Week 4 was pureed soups and such.  I could not eat chicken or beef for many months....

I recommend you call your surgeon's office and ask to speak with a dietician so you can have a firm plan. There is a diet and nutrition forum here which you might also find helpful.

May I ask what surgery you had?

I had the sleeve gastrectomy.
