Those sound really good!

But if you’d gone to school for computer science, you might not have become the wonderful foodie that we all know and love!

I’d also love to see some kind of “like” or “thanks” button if that’s feasible.  I may not have a comment but would like to give that feedback to the poster.

Thanks 🙂  I’ll check out the Pinterest page.  Feel free to follow back if you want – most of my go to recipes are on boards labeled “high protein”

WOW! It looks like I’m also an LTEE and have been since my diabetes diagnosis in 2001. I have really moved things forward since my surgery in 2014. I get antsy if I don’t exercise!

Cyndie, as a native of East Texas currently living in the Waco area, I have to ask. Where in east Texas are you?

Yes – that would be great!  I save most of mine on Pinterest.  Is there a BariatricFoodie pinterest page?

I don’t have a weight loss goal but am working to maintain.  I’m 2.5 years post-op and haven’t had any regain so far.  I fluctuate about ~3 pounds throughout the month, but I don’t count that.

Robin, same here!  I was up 5 times last night and awake even more often.  I wear a Fitbit with a sleep tracker so I can see the details.

Nikki, that article is right on point.  My theory is that sleep-deprived people reach for more food in order to boost their energy.

Karen, I was out in the wind for most of Saturday and Sunday. That’s why they’re so bad right now. I have even been flirting with earaches because of being in the wind so long. I’m planning on staying inside today, (easy to do as we have thunderstorms forecasted) and am already seeing an improvement!

I can definitely say that lack of sleep makes you hungrier! I’m lucky to get five hours of sleep a night. Unfortunately, it’s not in a solid block of time. It takes me a long time to get to sleep and then I wake up constantly through the night. It’s not fun.

I haven’t been posting on here, but I have been logging all my food on MFP.

Ohhhhhhhh! A recipe swap!!!!! I love recipes!!!!!!!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!
