My diet is exactly the same as otters38

I just started doing Zumba twice a week. I am as uncoordinated as they come, so most of the time (Until I know the moves) I feel like Im behind in the class. But, I have fun and get a good workout, and thats what matters the most. If you go into it with a positive attitude, you will come out of it with a good workout. Also, I went to a couple different instructors. I can honestly say I didnt care for the first one, but the second one I went to I loved. Most places will give you the first class for free to see if you like it. Take advantage of that. Find an instructor you like with a class that you feel the best in.

I have three more weeks on pureed foods . Any suggestions for variety are welcome

On the right bottom, when you are in the menu, down under the blogs right after the reputation leaders “Topics with No Replies” cheri

My nurse told me when I thought I had slipped that if you are able to swallow you are fine. Regardless, you should call your nurse and talk to her or schedule an emergency appointment just to check. You probably pulled a muscle in your abs or strained it. You should look up stretches to do to help untighten the muscle

Girls, I'm right there with you. My surgery was on the 6th as well as the gas is killer!! GasX really doesn't seem to help. Hot decaf tea has helped some. I think we only have a few more days of it though from what I have read. It is worse then my sore tummy or incisions, or anything! Hang in there! Take comfort in knowing we are in pain too!!

good luck to you. If you follow the rules and don't cheat. YOU WILL SUCEED.

You know I thought I would absolutely DIE if I couldn't drink before, after, and ESPECIALLY during my meals!!!! However now, after being banded for 81/2 months, I NEVER miss it!! What you'll find, as time goes on, is that drinking with or too close to a meal just makes everything kind of slosh around. It's very uncomfortable so you will soon, with proper restriction, not want to drink with or just after eating!! Really!!!

I had my first fill 2/9. I go 3/9 for my second fill. At first when I got my fill it was great, but lately I feel like I can eat a lot more than I should be. During the week I do great, but weekends, not so much. I'm still losing (down 33lbs) but want to get more control over stopping "when I'm feeling full". Why do I find the need to eat everything on my plate? Maybe I'll start journaling again.

Does anyone else feel like their emotions are all over the place? I feel so crabby at work, then I'm crabby at home. I am really kind of feeling more down then I am used to. Maybe it's hormonal from everything that has gone with my body in the past 6 weeks.....anyone else feel out of sorts lately??
