hard for me to accept them also (as i feel i am still looking like the person in my profile in the green sweater)....so i just say thank you and go inside to myself, you go girl...

sounds like the one i was on. its hard, no lie the first 4 or 5 days were brutal but drink and do your SF popsicles (which saved me) and do what you have to do.. if you go into thinking you cant, you maybe right so go in there thinking, yeah i want to lose weight and i have to do this in order to have surgery......then do it. do the best you can been there/done that as why i am saying what i did. i was 336 when i started.....i was in horrible shape. it was either do it.....or remain the same. i made my choice... now you make yours....much love 2 you

as long as you do your best, you wont go wrong... (dont forget to drink alot) you can do this..i know it..

i feel a section on (want power) would help... there is a difference in wanting something bad enough to do what it is you need to do in order for it to happen......very different from will power. DEF recipes...(please include alot of grilling outside types) as i do alot of that

to me, eating at night was a time for me to sit on couch and snack and the more my hand went into the bags, the more calories i took in.. on my pre op, i realized that was merely (head hunger). it was a habit for me to sit and eat and glaze at the tv....if i am truly hungry, i grab something filling and dont worry about it....but dont use it as an excuse to eat....eat if truly hungry......or drink something....that usually solves the issue for me.

if you keep eating high fat/processed foods and in outrageous amounts, any WLS wont help...its gonna take a total mind change..you either eat better foods or you dont.....

puppy said what i wanted to say....

just think where you was..and where you are.............freeking amazing

i dont do ham......but thinking of getting me a piece of chicken breast and use a mallet, flatten that thing out in place of ham... and add me some onion/spinach/tomato before going in oven.. what you think? great post

the band or any wls wont solve anything its a 3 inch white necklace that is sewn onto your stomach it will help you eat less...esp when fills from what i understand one gains weight by eating more calories then they burn off.. my moment that made me decide i was gonna turn my life around, well there was 2..i found out i was gonna be a grandmother...i wanted to push her around the block in her stroller and i couldnt.......and i was having trouble wiping my butt...short arms having trouble reaching around my girth.... my go to has changed because my mental game has changed. best of luck........please note, the band wont solve everything but IT can work if you follow the bands how to instructions and drop the excuses at the curb. best of luck, its not easy...but its worth it

didnt your dr give you a post op diet to follow?, if not id call and find out its best to go with what he/she wants as what worked for me may not work for you...steph gave some great suggestions though...congrats on your surgery

sounds good to me

well said missy i dont know enough about dr kuri to speak so i wont but what i can say is its best to try to find a dr near you in case you have questions, need fills, complications...just seems more logical to me...although some have had great success and some havent...i feel choose your dr carefully.

great job

add me in..the more i lose, like lab, you can see it i like touching it and i love knowing my little helper is there my secret weapon

if it helps, why not

grill chicken and veggies is great.....if it was me, leave off the bread Protein fills you up and helps you feel full longer...in my opinion, bread does not when i eat, i am gonna makeit count dont overthink it go out with hub and enjoy dinner

any surgery can have complications its part of life...try not to worry about what if...... if you eat your allotted amounts, better quality foods and exercise (do whatever you can), the band will work...when i started, i could hardly walk... my starting bmi was 62...just make good choices, use common sense and find want power..we all got it..we just gotta find it

if all you had is a shake today, then you need to eat if hungry pizza is not very filling (bread)..but eating a piece wont hurt...but try to eat better quality foods

way to go my friend.........soooooooooo proud

hey...quit talking about coors light....making me thirsty
