I have been doing really good. I went to the support group in Rancho Cucamonga and they really helped me.

They really focused on getting enough protein and the 64 ounces of liquids. You can dehydrate and have problems. I also met a 34 year old lady who has lost 130 pounds in a little over a year. She followed a South Beach Diet type of plan. Lots of water and exercise.

I want to follow in her footsteps.

They also told me to make sure I am getting over 1000 calories a day or else I will go into starvation mode and you can't lose weight in starvation mode.

I added pureed chili beans with cheese and that got me to 1000 yesterday. I am also focusing on my liquid intake.

 

I am also going to start the South Beach diet on Saturday when I can have solids. I still have not weighed in,but was able to squeeze my butt into size 12 slacks!!! My 14's that were tight are not fitting me well anymore. I am looking for for non scale victorys.

 

Today I have eaten/drank:

 

Breakfast: 1 cup Gano Coffee (healthy coffee) with soy milk and carnation good start breakfast: 230 cal, 11 grams of protein

 

 

Liquids: 20 ounces of vitamin water: 125 calories

 

vitamins: 1 tbsp. of Glacial Milk liquid vitamins.

Hey I found you!!! It's me the "lady" from the meeting !! LOL!! I was so shocked when I read about me on your journal.One small correction though I lost 115 pounds in 7 months and 15 pounds since the tummy tuck.I like to give myself that credit,it keeps me focused on where I came from and all the hard work I did to get where I am now! LOL! I'm so glad you're going to follow the South Beach diet.That's going to work for you too,you'll see!I'm so excited for you.I love it when people make things work out for themselves.Like we talked about before,alot of people get banded and think it's like the gastric bypass and the weight is going to just fall off.They don't realize that banding is so much different and requires us to do our part.It's ALOT of hard work but you know what,we're alot healthier when were done because we are stronger from working out and smarter from having to make better food choices. Good luck and I'm here when you need me!!
