when we go to the movies (yes i am one who sneaks my own pop corn in) i also use those 100 cal singles (yes the sodium is high) but is only every one in a while...i also had a couple bags here at work if i want a snack...some can eat it and some cant. i am glad i am one of those who can.

well, your insides are very swollen and healing. it is normal. please continue to sip very slowly as it does get better as the days go by.

when i was leader in a weight loss support group, i had the members bring in their scale. yes i did for real. i got on 10 different scales and had at least 7 or 8 different numbers. the scales vary as does the weight. just because theirs showed one number yours showed another, does not mean you did not do well...you are still very early after surgery......just keep doing what you are doing as it will show (maybe not by numbers lost yet) but by inches and you beginning to feel better. rojo was and is right.....the first 4-6 weeks your body is recovering from major surgery and you are swollen and if you remain patient, you will wake up to a big number loss (but i bet your inches loss is going fantastic) and if you are losing inches, you are losing weight. ps: who can say what whom is suppose to lose. we are all different with different body types/things going on. you lose like you are suppose too. dont worry about anything else. doing good to me you are.

enjoy sunshine let your hub look at his doll baby...no worrying allowed

this is pretty kewl 9 months ago it was me getting another beer and more potato chips..........as exercise between commercials

you can do it...i promise you can..day 5 or 6, you will realize what i am telling ya that it gets easier

its a must do..they must ready your insides for surgery how bout do what i did, freeze your shake to slush (wendys like) and eat with a spoon i still do that i have heard of dr's not performing surgeries for that reason, so do your best to stick with it its hard, but its worth it. you just gotta want it.

you are stronger than that....food is food..its got no hold on any of us....good judgement is stronger than the food in that area..although i swear i hear coors light still calling me and asking where i been..

mine was sore/tender for about a month....

i dont blame you at all.. am sorry

did you report to alex?? i would sorry to read this and i do not blame you

super star.......great great great job. and the baggy drawers....LOVE IT

i snack...i make sure its protein or fruit and i drink alot to make sure its not the horrid head hunger ARGH. but all the while aware of the cal intake i do per day. the way i see it, if i am (hungry) i am gonna eat and make good choices..works for me.

as you heal, the appetite will return. marci is correct, the band wont stop you from being hungry...so Protein is vital. it will (feed you) and keep you full. and you are still tired and esp in evenings as you are still fresh from major surgery sweetheart. bless your heart just keep drinking, getting your nourishment from what is on your allowed list.

can i ask how much for one? sorry to be nosey...

i think having them every so often and in a pinch isnt bad, but def processed with means sodium and other additives...

sorry to read this. i know this must suck rabbits foots. but it will happen and you have a new date. it will be here before you know it. (who knows, they could call you with a sooner date).

how exciting, a date for YOU this is sooo awesome, advice: be patient dont compare to others losses (we all different) follow your doctors instructions pre and post op and always be a tarheel fan

i did a cat one yesterday and came across this and thought it fit..so f**king true too.

perhaps the unknown..never having a fill, not knowing what to expect. that would be me for sure. its a fact that everyone and elvis can tell us what happens, what it feels like and so on, but until we do it, we have no idea. best of luck today as i know you will do super duper fantastic.

kime, long and short:

nobody gets between sharon and her calvins by george. so proud of you
