yes you can do this.... For me the trick was to eat Proteins.... and not just drink shakes...they didnt hold me...hang in there...~hugs~

I agree Jean....thanks for the read !!!

Im still learning.... Make some great friends that can lead you around....laughs thats what I do !

I have started taking maralax every other day... i mix it in any drink and it really has no taste or grit.... and keeps things moving...

on my way to check it out too !

~hugs~ you Princess... I can remember the day my 7 yr old noticed that while we were driving and blirted out mommy your bellies not stearing the van .............kids gotta love um.... Congrats...as I always say the NSV are the BOMB !!! no more going places with a black line across your sweaters....

Yes some foods are expensive...but I find if I go to McDonalds with kids its a good 50 dollars... I took them all to ApleBees this past week and it cost 50 also....I had a delish meal under 500 cals...and I only ate 1/2 of it....

I think if your going over on Protein its a heck of alot better then fats and cals... My doc tells me not to worry about over on Pros......good luck hun

Im going to copy this and put it on my bathroom mirror.... ~hugs~ thanks AJ

This week I was at the Drs office for my monthly visit... and the pper I fill out every visit ask...how long between meals are you hungry...what time of the day are you hungry... This was the FIRST time since banding I looked at my husband and said... Hun when am I hungry..???? His answer and mine was...WOW im never hungry !!!! I do eat my 800 cals aday..but not because Im hungry....because I know its time for a meal....and ME being in control of food for the first time in my life feels soooooo good !!!!

Well Missy plateaus can be discouragng...dont let it get you down... You can do it...you got this far !!!
