all dr's are different but my dr told me liquids means (liquids). agree with chez, follow your dr's orders.

just because is not showing (a loss numberwise) does not mean you are not losing. are your clothes looser? have you bought smaller items? if so, then yeah you are losing

super duper proud of YOU as you and were banded in the same time frame

keep posting because it will reach the ones that need to hear it.......the ones who dont care or know it all anyhow will just criticize or ignore it...so do it for people like me who want to do well. i learn from successful people....

are you able to call your dr and make an appt??

well, i am way too tight to eat in the mornings, so like my friend missy and others, i do my ever trustee chocolate Protein. i like knowing its giving me protein. i have put in freezer (esp during pre and post op) til it was like a wendys frostee.......excellent like my banded b cheryl, i have hard boiled eggs ready as i do 2 oz pieces of cheese and little containers of foods to grab if i am hungry. (fruit, Beans, chick salad)..the list is endless. def not processed but fresh as can be. and drinking all day long helps with those (hunger feelings). hope this helps...

.....to those who love eggnog this is super duper fantastic..... (me dont like it and wish i could)......EXCELLENT positive mental attitude. you got this

great news shelley

a great for me moment was realizing i took a huge step in (saving my life). yes i am being dramatic but i am also being honest. my yes moment came when i was able to walk (better/more) than i had been able to in years a couple weeks after surgery. i have never looked back.

the reason you are hungry is because you are (hungry). sip your protein as that is your (fuel) at the moment. it will help you with the feeling of being hungry. its best not to cheat on the post op liquids as you are very much still healing inside and very swollen. eating before your are suppose could be serious. i am glad to read you are gonna go back to your doctors instructions. as your swelling subsides, you will get more hungry (i know i sure did) and this is when your mental aspect of using portion control and eating protein laden options come into play. as far as the restriction, i dont know if what you said is correct. i felt restriction from the beginning and i dont have any fills but i eat as (though i am at full restriction). hang in there. you are doing well. treat yourself like the queen you are.

i dont think anyone is trying to be rude but merely trying to offer advice and guidance....again, call and discuss with your dr what you can and cannot eat as they are whom operated on you. (the people on this forum are terrific, but the advice on here should not be took over what your own doctor recommends).

as long as you do (anything) that is what matters you are doing and that is excellent.no wonder you are a success

it gave me my life back. wouldnt trade it for anything in the world (its not a quick fix. you still have to eat better food and exercise)

starving will eventually make you binge and end up (gaining) so dont do it......walking..its free agree w ith missy, go to a nutritionist or you dr...you lost 50 pounds so you know what to do...and how to do it..

that is so true...i am a scared chicken little............i run and tell deedee on everyone and now grammy..they protect me..

as so called leader of this wild and cray cray group of princesses..., i assure everyone, none of us would insult, bully, pick on, talk nasty to or about anyone..................(but to each other) we love and support everyone and we will help everyone. this subject now closed.

the banded b's believe in you.......

yeah, it serious....waiting for steve to hook me up am ignoring the banded b's as best i can even though i am their fearless leader.......

fingers in ears...................

really grammy and aj.......i intend to eat at least 2 plates and ask you all am i okay........dumb broads. geesh, i crak myself up............oops

stick it out as you are almost there.....proud of YOU

read my mind dawn with salsa

thinking of broccoli makes me feel the same way.....YUK
