aside from the others posters great comments, i would suggest what my ole man did during my liquid time..he kept me occupied...we played video games, talked and sorted our photo albums.watched tv.....keep him busy....and if you find time to cuddle, even better ps: tell him carolina girl promises it will get better each and every day...way to go aime for being a GREAT support

great attitude Gf........doing it everyday....am right there with you

good for you allie

does anyone not like fish besides me?

i finished my step aerobics......raised my knee lifts higher and higher...and boy could i feel it..

i firmly believe we are all stronger than we give ourselves credit for.. we can control ourselves (if) we want to...i say this as i know where i started and i know what it took to get me where i am today....me having my WLS gave me the umph to try one more time.. anyhow....i am not a sweet person...more a chips/dip/cheese it/fast food gal every morning on my way to work, i go to dunkin doughnut for my xlarge black coffee i also believe in me not running/nor hiding from food its part of life..its how we choose to deal with it..with everything eat, but eat smart....or at least the best we can.. osh, i miss blogging hope i am not hogging this thread i promise when i can blog again, i will stop preaching...

ok, halloween party......what a trip...what a great time we had talk about food an drink and a very bad karoke singer so i ate my Protein before we went to party.. because it was my dinner time......and i also know that i am not on a diet and i can whatever i want..and i was going to eat something..its a party after all i think we all know what is considered good or bad foods but its a shame any food must be labeled bad......i think it should be not such a great choice...so at this party, there was good choices and not so good choices there was chips/dips, cakes, Cookies, cupcakes, finger foods, meatballs etc... what wonderful food lay out... so what did carolina girl eat..did she eat? you betcha......and did i beat myself up, or say i shouldnt have ate that? NOPE i got some apple slices, some crackers and some mexi cheese dip and (gasp) a chocolate cupcake that had a tombstone on it....it was what i wanted......and it was good..and i sipped bottled Water throughout the party...as i find i dont really drink anymore and ole gal won the costume contest too..and here i am: and yesterday, i did my aerobics, and we did some shopping at walmart...its a super store and when you walk from one side to the other, its a great walk.....and now i ask hub to park way out in the parking lot, just so i can walk farther..little things add up to big results.... today i will do my aerobics, walk, eat great and try to support people like me on this forum.. but if you read this, unless you help yourself, get off the excuse bus and do it....nothing no one advises you,will help.....you gotta wanna.......and then get on with it

years ago, i had symptoms like this and it ended up being my gall bladder/stones.. they removed it...i agree with the above poster, a call to the doctor is def in order (esp when pain is involved).

i just had (sorry, scrambled eggs) i cooked sausage, added onions, bell peppers, salsa, cheese and let me say this is awesome..very filling....and i have this every weekend about 4 oz and i am done/full

i am def dressing up this year any ideas? info on me to help: am short love skulls love goth fave color black/pink (make it easy but def want to win office contest)

well, here is my costume......and hub did my make up and we went to a halloween party tonight and guess who won the best outfit.........yours truly hub took this picture of me (next to my daughter he said) the doll swung on and her head moved back and forth and her eyes glowed...BOO

YEAH GF

just started this one tonight:

came home from work.....and did my step aerobics it feel so good to work out..to exercise..to know i am making my body healthy the other day i said anyone could do what i was doing aka step and he said no they cant and if they could...the majority dont......and you know that said alot there are those who say i wanna i wanna and i will start tomorrow or monday and there are those who just do i am one who just does it mainly because i am the only one who will and can and my being able to wear size 16s .....in 16 months (down 14 pant sizes) inspires me to keep doing it.... what say you?

i eat when hungry also and make sure its protein filled...i just make sure the calories i eat are worth it

thank you ....i try really hard and you will do great...keep me posted on the tat

i have a large lower back tat (from side to side/butt up to mid back) (and it was fine when i was over 300)..and its looking great in the 190s......up to you really...depends on what you want, the placement etc...

i am sooooooooooooo happy for YOUcan wait to you get to your next goal you want......so so so proud of you

nicely put.. i define my week by remaining true to myself and eating good foods, exercising and know each day i am getting closer to where i want to be.. at unc's dean dome for basketball season

metal maiden here.....what is in my cd in my car

i agree with miss ...kinda early for solid foods but oh well i suggest going on easier foods as you are still early out from surgery... its a process and each dr is different...for example on my week 3, i was on mush (oatmeal refried bean, etc) no solids til week 4...and i also had a hernia repaired.....i say dont be in a hurry to eat...and def choose better foods when you do eat...nothing healthy fried.sure does taste good..but seeing scale go down tastes better hang in there you will do fine

changed it up.......instead of doing my step aerobics today, i wanted to walk it was like 70s, mild, slightly breezy and gorgeous (no sun) but it felt wonderful so i got on my pink nikes and off we went...let me say walking down and then back up an incline works your thighs..i dont care who you are, male/female old, young, fat or not.. pick up the pace and you got a helluva work out and then off to the new char grill.......ordered me the 3 oz burger (took off bun) hub cut it up into pieces (ate the lett/tom/on mixed with my beef pattie) and let me sy it was awesome anyone who says they cant eat good with the band hasnt asked me....will continue to eat well, exercise and let the band do its job.... which is make me healthier each/every day......

just finished one of my fave authors: The move from New Jersey to Hilton Head, South Carolina, wasn't easy for the Russo family—difficult enough for Big Al and Connie, but even harder for their daughter Maria Graziella, who insists on being called Grace. At thirty-one and still, shockingly, unmarried, Grace has scandalized her staunchly traditional Italian family by moving in with her boyfriend Michael—who, though a truly great guy, is agnostic, commitment-phobic, a scientist, and (horror of horrors) Irish!\ Grace adores her parents even though they drive her crazy—and she knows they'd love Michael if they got to know him, but Big Al won't let him into their house. And so the stage is set for a major showdown—which, along with a devastating, unexpected crisis and, perhaps, a miracle or two, just might change Grace's outlook on love, family, and her new life in the new South.

but what if it did work?? do your best, follow the instructions your dr gives you on how to use it, eat better food, exercise, believe in yourself and see what happens...
