Okay, do I have to post this every evening? Come in and chat! It's fun to talk in real time!

I almost broke somebody's arm when I was in the hospital. They brought me jello by mistake and then when they tried to take it away from my, I was ready for a fight. Dr. Aceves came in and told me he was sorry, I could not have jello yet. I never wanted jello so badly in my life!

I like the Kellogs high Fiber garlic and herb crackers. They don't have as many carbs as other crackers and I eat that with a string cheese. 4 crackers ( they are little ) is about all I need to eat cheese and crackers with a string cheese. I will post later the carb and calorie content when I get home where the box is.

That's a really good way to put it Bren. I am a binge eater as well. I don't think about binging as much now a days because I always feel so full. I wonder what it will be like a few years down the road. I have read on the other board that a couple of years from now is when the real work starts, and keeping the weight off is not as easy.

I don't know. I don't have a sense of smell. My daughter has a nose like a blood hound though, and I told her to stick her nose in the container and give it a wiff. She said it had no smell.

I have the Corrine Netzer book. I got it online at Amazon a long time ago. the other one sounds like a really good one too.

I really don't think the sleeve will help with binge eating. The sleeve definitely cuts your portions of meats and meals down -way down. It depends on what you binge on. For me it's candy and ice cream. So far, I can't eat ice cream anymore and that 's a good thing. It makes me sick. However, my boss had this big huge box of chocolate truffles in her office and I had a couple. If I had been in binge mode and was offered the whole box, I think I could have eaten the whole box. You still have to use will power to stay away from slider foods. A person could graze all day long picking and eating little bits of this and that, if a person did not want to get a handle on their eating habits.

I can't wait to try that one Ruthi!

It's GNC unflavored Whey protein. It has no taste. I had my daughter who has a nose like a blood hound stick her nose in the container and she said it has no smell.

What about crystal light mixed with GNC's unflavored Protein powder? If that was not clear, I cheated and didn't know it. But now that I think about it, it was past day 5 so maybe not.

I've made Protein pudding before using low carb chocolate slim fast cold, and mixing it in the blender with sugar free fat free Jello pudding mix. It's good with vanilla low carb slim fast and cheese cake pudding. It's kind of high in calories, but if you divide it up and put it into little serving dishes, at least you're getting protein in a snack. There is also a recipe for mixing tufu with cocoa powder that was supposed to be good. 1 container of silken tofu at room temp 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 to 2 squares unsweetened chocolate (melted) stevia or equal to taste Low fat ricotta cheese is supposed to be good with cocoa powder in it too. They have low fat string cheese, and I love the colby jack that is in a stick like string cheese and it comes in low fat. It's 60 calories. I also really like laughing cow cheese. (35 calories)I smear that on a piece of low fat viginia baked ham and it's yummy.

I am going to look for that carnation instant breakfast. I still have a lot of unflavored protein mix left over.

I totally understand. I would love to be able to let more things roll off my back. There are times when I am obsessing about something that I have to repeat over and over in my head "Let go and Let God" If I say that over and over when a thought is in my head that I don' t want there, pretty soon, I start thinking about something else and they aren't taking up my head space.

Do you like cheese? I get a low fat colby like a string cheese that's reallly good. I am not home at the moment but when I get there I will write more.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Diane, Happy Birthday to YOU!:thumbup::help:

I am so sorry your mom let you down like that. She really betrayed your trust and that must hurt. I am just like you in that I worry about things that are months away. I come by it naturally. My mother was a horrible worrier. My dr. says I have general anxiety disorder. When the time comes just say you decided it was time to have an aide in weight loss so you can be healthy. I know it's easier said than done to say " then don't give them a second thought." Right now I am worrying about this cousin of mine who wasn't very nice during all the stress and death of my dad. I keep asking myself why I think I need her aproval.

I'm sorry to hear of what a rough time you're having. In the long run it will be worth it. It's a good thing you had the band out. I wish you an easy recovery and hang in there. We will all support you!

Welcome! This is a great board. Everyone here is very supportive.

Congratulations! Can you share with us some of the stuff you like to eat?

I did see those at Walmart today but I didn't get them because it said 3 grams sugar alcohol. I have enough gas all the time that I am afraid to try them now. I like the peanut nougat ones a lot.

Is it any better?

You have to download adobe flash . Send a pm to Alex. We need to get chatting again!

I walked all around the hospital neighborhood in my bathrobe trying to get an AT&T signal so I was not roaming. Nobody bothered me! The only person that spoke to me when I was about 4 blocks away was the anethesiologist (SP?) who said "Good Morning Denise" I was really surprised he remembered my name and told him he had a really good memory. I wish I had found that signal now that I got my cell phone bill.

I believe that this is the one that Mac liked in the flavor called cherry smash.

Oh good. 45 min after a meal is a little better than one hour.
