My band likes spring rolls, even when I'm tight tight....USUALLY mexican isn't an issue (except rice)...I was never a big soda drinker so can't help ya there....the trade offs are worth it. You'll do great!

Moderation is the key to success! I never once looked at this as a diet. This is a lifestyle change. I eat everyday foods but very small amounts. I never say that I will "never eat" that again because I will more than likely eat it again. With that being said there are some foods that I have put on a list that I can't eat but it is very small list (5 things) and in no way do I feel deprived. Considering I have lost 105 lbs in 7 1/2 months I would do this again in a heart beat!! I wish you the very best!! Good luck on your journey!!

I try to stay on the high protein low carb eating but sometimes I have what I want and when the scale doesn't move, I know why. You can have what you want just a little bit not a whole meal. I've only had to give up shrimp because it got stuck once and I thought I was going to die that way. It took a day and a half before it passed and I was able to eat again.

I only told my closest family members because I didn't want to hear from people that I took the easy way out or I should be losing faster than I am and it's no one business how you are losing the weight. I just tell people that it is because of eating habits and exercise...that seems to make them happy. Good luck to you on this journey.

I have not had a Diet Coke in 10 months... i miss it mostly fo the caffeinne. I am not a coffee/tea drinker. but i think if i had a soda today i would not like how blated it makes you...and the burping would last all day!

I love Asian food...i still eat it but i make sure i divide it in 2- 3 portions so thati make sure i dont eat all of it.

I dont have much restriction and so i am going with will power.

I have not had bread ...that i gave up on my own.

Rice i think i will never be able to give up...must be a Latina thing.

Take everyday as a new day... i screw up alot but i dont put myself down.

I have lost 40lbs...not as much as many in this site but i, getting closer to my 1st goal!

I told everyone.... most are supportive, some have become the "food police"

Hello,

It is great that you are making great strides toward your goal. Be encouraged, you can do it. I just had the surgery on June 9th of this year and I am down approx. 40lbs myself. I refuse to eat bread, pasta, rice, and definitely any sweets. I have not had a fill yet, so my eating habits are all mental at this point. My goal is to lose 2.5 pounds a week to reach 250 lbs by June of next year. I'd rather do it with mental power than the physical restrictions a fill places on you. This will only increase vomiting. Stay focused and remember to get your vitamins in, this is very important!!!!

Thanks everyone for all the support! It makes me feel good.

:thumbup:What surgery did you have. You are doing great!
