Hi Terry, Just got off the phone with my hubby a little while ago, and you know he said the same thing to me. "I miss eating". I can understand that, but in the same breath we are both grateful for the band restriction.

Terry I tried the protein shake for breakfast for a few mornings when I was in a hurry, but found myself to be really hungry in a couple of hours.. I pretty much stick with eggbeaters, turkey sausage and wheat toast ..it keeps me happy for 4 hours or more.

I've been thinking more seriously about running. I have had bad knees for a while but they are getting better and better the more weight I lose. I think I am going to start with Couch to 5K (maybe a few months from now) and once I do that, move on to the Zombies, Run! app. I'm not good with doing smart phone things and moving at the same time either, but I gather this one is pretty simple. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zombies-run!/id503519713?mt=8

I'm having my sleeve in 3 weeks and it really helps to know about "eating" post-op. Today I am making some bone broth (good for healing) to go in the freezer. I am lucky to live alone and not have to deal with the food needs of family members, just the animals. Do you feel comfortable moving around and doing things at this point?

Try Against all Grain, its a Paleo cookbook one of my coworkers bought and she has made a few things. They are fantastic and healthy.

enjoyed reading your blog and viewing your pictures. thanks for sharing and def keep up the great work

You are amazing...i'm so lucky that i've gotten to know you better!...what an amazing anniversary gift and even better an amazing husband! Looking forward to seeing you! You look amazing...keep up all the hard work!

Thanks for blogging. I find that writing really helps with my stress load -- the naming what it is in my life helps me see it in a different way and that helps anchor me. We have a "light heavy bag" (there's an oxymoron for you) in our basement for our teenaged son to pound on. You may be on to something -- that need to release stress hormones. I can only seem to get it with the treadmill on incline and really walking hard, which I can only do when I'm in shape enough -- a vicious circle. So looking forward to the band as a tool for getting weight off so I can exercise. So much release is needed! Best wishes to you and thanks again.

So enjoy your blogs. Keep em coming.

Love this! That's a great movie. Running is on my list also. I want to wear cute Nike shirts and race around the track. I wonder if I can have one made that says "I ran from my fat" lol.
