Jim, I was happy to see my high carb day in on Thanksgiving too! whooohoooooo!

Loseit - I wouldn't know what to do without it!

Yaaaa! Your new birthday! Sending lots of good vibes and good karma your way! Keep us all posted on your progress, you are going to do just wonderful (hugs)

That was probably the best sleep ever!!!!

wow!! that is remarkable! I am holding out till saturday morning. I want to give this a full 7 day before I jump on the scale. Although, I have to admit I have been sooooo tempted today to pull the scale out from underneath the bathroom sink.LOLOLOL

I was checking out the calculators on line last night before I went to bed . Honestly, the fat grams that high scares me. I don't know why. I guess its a mental thing because I have gone to weight watchers almost all of my life and was fixated on the fat grams and like a trained dog i can't break the habbit. LOL. Work in progress girlfriend. Oh, and I know I would never be able to do that much protein I have a hard time getting it in now, I struggle with that too. However, I know I am eating more protein now in my life than I ever had before. Even in the 40's for me is great progress because I am not a meat lover and always struggled to eat it. At the same time, you know we all are going to get different results and it will be interesting to see how we all do. Its deff. going to be trial and error when we all find our 'nitch'. This is the hardest part figuring out the ratio and balancing it out so that our body agrees with it and works... ttyl my sweet friend (hugs)

I did the same thing and hung it on the side of my fridge. I am always looking for low calorie snacks and I am so happy I found this,honestly I saw about 60 I am going to make, LOL

sure can....

I love my loseit app, I really do, LOLOLOL

Yea, and you can see half of that is full saturated fat. good thing you caught that!

Nice job hon!!!

Hanna, try and stay between 25-30 fat grams per day, try and not go over 30, being the max. You want to stay within that range closest to 25 grams, but deff no more than 30.

Looks good to me too Hanna!

Did very good today on my high carb day. I also exercised and walked 1.85 miles on my gazelle edge (that is 27 minutes). burned 223 calories. 1150 calories 27 fat grams 163 carbs 48 grams protein 18 grams fiber

Ask your nutrionist to sit down with you and lay out a diagram for you on paper. My nutrionisit did that for me even though I didn't need to physically see it because I have been on weight watchers most of my life and know the basics, the foundation of a diet plan. Example: start by knowing what your caloric daily intake will be and work from there. Than you plan: Breakfast - lunch - dinner - Snack - You know that banded patients do not eat more than a cup of food per meal. So you break it down. to 3-4 ounces of lean meat, followed by 1/4 veggie, 1/4 starch. Or if you dont eat starches you can eat more veggies or have a side salad as long as everything equals to a cup worth of food. Your snack should be sensible, incorporate fresh fruits into your diet if you can eat it. Remember also to drink plenty of Water, exercise, and take a Multivitamin. I know this is too much for you to ingest but you really need to keep a journal or track your foods,it really is your way to having a successful weightloss. There are apps for your phone such as Loseit and myfitnesspal both are great tools and super easy to use.This way you can see what you are eating and how much, and what your nutrients daily intake is as well Take a deep breath, relax you can do this....

Ohh god and how we all know about our weight coming to a hault!

Hi Candace, Welcome aboard! You've come to the right place for encouragement, support, motivation, and of course friendship! We are all here rooting for ya

Soooooo true!!!!

Hang in there Angela!! we are rooting for ya! Hurray for Mushies, LOLOLOL

Since I am cycling I thought it would be appropriate to update my ticker to reflect that.....haaahaaaa

Hanna, ohh I am so sorry to hear this hon. Yes, you might of ate just a little to soon or to fast, or both. I know for myself when I eat a little too fast I do get a small discomfort. but nothing more than that. I have no problems with eating food on bread as long as I take my time, chew it till minced in my mouth, and take smaller bites. Actually, when I eat a sandwich I do use a knive and fork,it helps tremendously. ((hugs))
