I am sure you are still bloated from the surgery. I wore that waist binder for 2 weeks, I am sure I was in stretchy pants too!

wow, TKW!! You have done great, congrats!

It's a website where you track your food intake and exercise for the day. You can post staus updates on there and add friends. It's great! I am on there too, under holbraden.

I was a huge fan of flour tortillas before my surgery. I had one a couple of weeks ago for a soft taco and honestly do not miss them at all! So I will stick to taco salads while my family has soft tacos.

do you use www.myfitnesspal.com? If so add me, I am holbraden. There are quite a few of us on there. Good luck with the C25K. I haven't done that, but I have started adding a little run in with my morning walks and I can go way farther than I did in the beginning!

head hunger is something I have really been battling lately! Sometimes I will have a cup of tea, take a bath or go watch tv in bed.

good for you! 100 pounds and 3 years out gives us all hope, congrats!

I thought the same thing when I had a flour tortilla a few weeks back! I will stick to taco salads instead of soft tacos at home!

I gurgle off and on. Just don't really pay attention now to notice how often it happens.

I do ok with the carrots that you buy bagged and shredded. I don't add a ton though.

My dr said to wait 3 months. I had one after 2 months and have never had a problem with them. I do now prefer the spring mix types, they seem to go down easier.

At 3 months I was down 29, 50 at 6 months. Good thing I keep a running log at the back of my journal!

I remember burping a lot in the beginning. Don't think I do it as often as before. Or maybe I just don't even notice it anymore!

THow funny, that's what I am buying when I reach my goal! Hopefully they will be size 4!

First you need to try and eliminate the sweets! Funny to hear that from me, an admitted chocoholic! I feel like a junkie when given some real good stuff! If you aren't hungry between meals then I would say you don't need a fill. When was the last time you have seen your dr? Battling the head hunger has been huge for me these last couple of months as well. Sometimes I will take a bath or go watch tv in bed to try and forget about it. Or I will have a cup of hot tea, which I am doing right now!

A friend and I both were down about 80 pounds at one year. I worked out and she didn't. We both ate approximately 1000 calories a day. And she is almost 20 years older than me!

I agree with eating 1200 or less a day. For the first year I was pretty religious being at 1000 and did really well. These last couple of months have just been tougher for me.

welcome Tiffany!

no problem! I still deal with hunger, have had many fills and hoping for another one when I go in on May 11th. I have found what helps me is adding another meal. Instead of a small snack of string cheese in the morning I will have my lunch and then another small meal around 2. Seems to help me, though I haven't had to do it the last few days.

of course!! 14 months out and now know when to stop!
