I think that we all experience flashes of 'head hunger' if we were never emotional eaters we wouldn't have needed the surgery. I try to stop and work through it with the Lord, and I have a protein shake (even a couple drinks will do it) or I have a warm sugar free Chi Tea. That really...
Try Quest bars. I do not like most protein bars, but I love these. 20-21 grams protein 170 cal. They have helped me so much. I also like premiere protein vanilla or strawberry---not choc---protein shakes from Costco. 31 protein, 160 cal. Good for in between my little meals and getting in the...
Hi everyone! Just a note to let you know that I had a good 6 mth. post-surgery check up. I have lost 75 lbs. and I stand in awe of God's grace. I am trying to learn all of the good habits that I will need, and get into exercising. The exercising is difficult because of my Fibromyalgia and my...
Hi Marilyn,

What a journey! I did not think about my sunglasses, but they do fall off! Funny! :rolleyes: It is such a strange new world. I am finally feeling more 'normal' with it. No regrets at all, and thanking God for this opportunity! Blessings to you all!!! T.

Hello everyone. I hope this finds you all well. I'm now 16 weeks out from my VSG surgery. I have lost 49 pounds now and am almost in "onederland" as they say. It has been more than an adventure, the anxiety has calmed down. One tip I found (which you all probably know) is that cold water really...

Thanks Pinky, I agree. I find that I can get a warm cup of decaf tea down easier, I have a big 12 oz. mug and it goes pretty quick with Truvia and a dollop of fat free milk....so I have become a rabid tea drinker, LOL!~ twill
