Okay, Monday and held on to pound and half lost last week. Weekends hard!!! ???? at least had two really good fast days and stayed in calorie range non fast. New week!!!

Mine is doing the same thing. Turned off notifications but still getting texts updates

Add your beginning weight and goal. ???? And weigh in every Friday with new weight.

Loved The Maze Runner! And I the same way! Used to ignore the popcorn. Not now. ????

Love this analogy. It sure does take a forum for us!!!! ????????❤️❤️

I'll take your word for it, Cathy!

And I'm just gonna be honest here, Monday is not Looking like a good day for a weigh in. Lol

Yu yuk!!!!!! ???? Now, I've eaten BUTTER sandwiches as a child and love French fries but um, gulp.... ????

Don't feel bad,Swizzly, ????. I do the same thing. I am NOT good with names. Congrats, Cathy! I'm sure you are very glad the dust and mess is over with too. Coops, WHAT kind of sandwich? ????

RK, you definitely have had an awful road with all the complications you have experienced. Life threatening, horrendous things that most of us has not had to deal with. Emotionally you have to be exhausted and I can understand how you had just turned to corner, so to speak, with all of it. Don't give up. I have very good pals on BP who have said Exactly the same thing about going to Plastics the first time. And some never went back. Others found new doctors and were able to go forward. I believe you will find someone with compassion and understanding for what YOU want to deal with. Maybe somebody recommended by your WLS who has experience with WLS patients more. You WILL be okay and have a good life I believe. Thinking and praying for you.

Ended up at 563! I really want some nuts but refraining. ????

You. Look. awesome!!!'

The headstone and pic looks awesome, Lisa. Praying for you today. I know, like you said, your husband would want you to have a rich, fulfilling life. I believe you can and will.

Okay, second fast day. It's 5pm and I have 140 calories so far. Gonna eat dinner and, hopefully, wind up around 500-550. Wasn't difficult today since I was busy a day at work but got really weak (like low blood sugar) driving home. Of course, I had had Zero cals up to that time. Ate a Banana and mini babybel cheese. Seems to have taken care of somewhat. Had lost a pound after last fast day so hopefully it's still gone when I weigh tomorrow!

I just set a record! Opened three threads and replied to one and no lockup!!! ????. Thanks, Alex!

Halfway through fast day. 153 calories so far! Now, if I can handle the late night munchies tonight after my dinner. ???????? Go, Girls!

Okay, Monday done! Toed the line for a non fast day and held at 905 calories. Tomorrow first fast for the week! Good work for all of us getting our butts back in gear. ????.

Yes, I agree, Cathy. Tues/thurs are my "2" days. My goal is to be down at least 6-8 pounds by Halloween ( end of October). I am handling fast days pretty well for the last 3 weeks but have to get the weekends on a better track. Too high calorie counts.

[quote name="Chimera" On another note - I think I might be getting a job offer today if all goes well. I had a fantastic interview with a lovely manager this week and I am excited for this one, its at a bookshop....I will still get to help people, can talk about books all day and it is close to home so I wont spend so much on gas and parking - not that my little saucy Mini drinks much in the way of gas Wish me luck! Chimera, Best of luck! And yes, once i get back on track, I immediately feel better mentally! ????

dear. Lort. You weigh138! ????????????. That's awesome!

thirteen pounds! That's HUGE, congrats.

Sorry. 158. Also. Someone referenced a chart. Where is it?

Thinking of you today, Kim! And yes, hitting 5/2 Hard. Have for last two or three weeks and I've managed to drop back down by 6 pounds over a three week period but boy, I'm having a hard time having better NON fast days. Not eating crap but too high in calories some weekends so I wind up re losing the same pounds for the first three days of the week! Gonna try to watch it this weekend. As for acid, YES! I am experiencing it much stronger right now. Some days none but others feels like a knot in my throat and chest burning. I have a script for Prilosec doc said he recommends EVERYONE take a low dose daily but I haven't ever had to until now. Should probably start using it regularly for a while. I def don't want to develop issues. Glad to hear from you, Chimera and others. Like y'all, sometimes I just sit back and read but I depend on you all for support and friendship.
