seems normal to me...if you had enough by your 20 min mark, your done sounds right....looks as if you are doing fantastic to me.

ok, i am bringing in my dobermans and banning you from this forum... read again what floridas said, she is 100% correct..what you ate was not bad... now if it was a whole pizza......get (diet) out of your thoughts...you are just eating better foods for your body...pretty face up now and smile

congrats to you on the surgery and your excellent LOSS

are you eating because you are truly hungry or because you think you are? there is a difference as kll described. if you are really hungry, by all means eat...but eat filling protein/veggies..eating 2 sandwiches is what ole gal here was eating as i was making my way over 300 not that long ago....better food choices will help......as will drinking alot...(if anyone eats more cals than we burn off, you will gain....fill or no fill)

if (you) know, then that is all that matters... me being a biggun, it took a while for anyone to notice..so when they do notice, and they will...smile and say thank YOU

**you can eat good healthy, Protein filling foods that fill you up, if you wanted...so if you are truly hungry, eat..but drink first to make sure you are not thinking you are..even with a fill, unless you eat better foods, you can still gain..3500 cals is a pound,,if you eat more than you burn off, you will gain..fill or no fill

(they also are known as united concordia) is that what you mean? i have tricare prime north and when i started my process, my surgeon advised me i had to do a 6 month wait..that wasnt the case and the tricare website nor the 800 told me that either. but that was my experience....if you have to do the 6 month, did you have a 1st month already?

hell woman, if your pants are nearly falling off, if i cant convince you that you are losing i never will.......silly girl

i think this would be good with turkey (sausage also)?? what do you think?

have you lost inches? are your clothes looser? if so, then you have (lost weight). just because the scale is not showing a (loss) does not mean you are not loosing. please look at the entire picture and not get so hung up on a mere number that changes all day long via the scale. it sounds as if you are doing super fantastic to me.

my goal was to be able to push my granddaughter in her stroller around the block. as i was having serious trouble walking, i can now do that... i am a success right now. and it feels great.

i am 9 months post op and my left shoulder/upper back hurts a smidge if i (eat too fast) just a reminder to slow it down or remember (small bites)...

yes i had mine removed about 9 yrs ago no issues what so ever in regards to having the surgery or not.

so if the scale is not showing a (loss) and you immediately think you are not losing? why is that?? i would like to beg to differ....are your clothes (any) of them looser? do you feel better? are you able to get around better?? have you noticed you look (smaller)?? to me losing inches is a sure sign of losing weight......the scale goes up and down all day long....and what tells the truth is inches lost. .....continue doing exactly what your doctor advised you..eat your allotted amounts, drink alot, exercise and remain patient....you have come this far...give yourself a chance to let the band do its thing. you will get there, promise. and i bet you are doing FANTASTIC..

if you are able to get the band surgery (i will keep my finger crossed) please note its not a miracle cure all....just having the surgery wont make you at goal weight in a week or two...this is a big misconception...just make your life healthier is what matters. let the band help you eat less food and you just have to do your part by eating better quality foods/exercising and believing in you. if you can do this, you can do anything.

you can eat whatever you want only in smaller amounts. the band will help with that.

ok, i wont send the dobermans to your house.... have fretted alot this past week about being too harsh but i decided to do what i wanted when i joined here truth, no bad how i didnt want to hear it....its made me get to where i am **thanks for answering, you made my whole day***

time of month

learned alot reading this today. thank you.

well, i have done this for my son/hub with chicken (and also tuna) salad take philly cream cheese (ff or reg) and add a packet of ranch powder mix.. mix well.....just a different option.

add me to this list i stop at 1 to 1 1/4 cups.....protein 75% of what i eat every time i eat....

you dont worry about what you did (as its over now) and most likely all is well......just no more cheating.....pinky swear
