Haydee, I'm sorry you are feeling that way, that was what happened to me for the first 8 months of surgery so I know what you are saying. For me I took the need to eat and went to the gym, so Terry is probably right - it will start to release chemicals and you will feel better... Kat was right too, try on a wedding dress now - and watch it shrink, You will be amazed. Hugs everyone

Thanks - (((TracyKS)) I'm sorry, i'm right there with you...unemployment line

I had to give up Hot Peppers and my buffalo wing pretzel bites. they caused me so much pain at night I couldn't stand myself. I miss them so...

HI everyone going to be nice today and then I think Fall is going to be here. I'm going to close the pool by LABOR Day, which is sad, but I'm not going to pay to keep it running, only going to be 73 by next week. so sad, I'm just getting into the water aerobics thing. nm going on here today, think I'm just going to enjoy my last couple days of pool. Have a great day

Are you too tight? My Dr always tells me he can tell depending on my reflux. Just got in from the drive-ins. busy day, had to get up at 5:30 no wonder why I'm so tired. Have a good night everyone

Night all just getting in from the movies. Terry - The daytime is not the hard time, it is the nights that when I start thinking. I got in late so I didn't finish family court stuff, I'll do it in the morning. I just can't do it at night when I'm already sad. I am sad now but exhausted so I hope I sleep thanks all xoxoxo

Hi gals I am strong this time. this is different... very different. I'm sad but happy because even if he thinks he is coming back, He has just given me the permission to move on Like I've been begging him to do for months now. I told him I would never leave but if he didn't want to be with me to let me go. Enough of that, today is a good day. Going to the drive ins with the older kids to see Ugly Truth and Perfect Getaway and ds is staying with grammy. Ok about the liquids.... well I have such great restriction that it put me post op, except once surgery swelling went down I got hungry. I did 1/2 cup servings of the chicken and cheese soup 3x a day no more for another 10 days and now I'm on 1/4 cup shredded lettuce and 1.5oz tuna/chicken salad made with homemade ranch (low fat sour cream and ranch mix) No more high cal ranch and junk and 1/4 cup shredded cheese, it fills 1/2 of one of my tea cups and I have 1 egg for breakfast and the tuna stuff for lunch and dinner. that has been about 10 days and I'm full... very full, no snacks, no bad stuff and 8-10 glasses of water a day. I have never had restriction like this.. Plus the mental part that I need to get to my happy spot so I can move on is a bonus too. Something to work for, and gets me out of bed. Well, going to get ready to head out, love ya'll and thanks for the encouragement! Kat - you might be right, but he may be in a rehab, he has been talking for a while about it, but either way... he could have let me know... I'm done

10 days of low sodium chicken broth and s/f pops... How is that for clear liquids???

thanks girls most of the time I am ok, it just hurts that he can just walk away and never see or talk to us again.... anyway, just worked and stopped up to the building we did, got invited to a party friday night, kind of far away but might go. off to get my hair cut. bbl

Oh yeah, my ticker is only at 10.5 lost because last week I changed it to where I was at that point to get to 175 where I want to be, when I get there I'll do it from there to 150, so baby steps so I can feel like I can get there and I'm working for something.

Tracy - I got a fill on the 30th and the biggest fill ever up to 1.5cc and asked for the initial surgery diet. I did clear liquids for 10days, went to creamy soup for 1 week (lived on the chicken and cheese soup 3 times a day and about 1/2 cup max each surving) and now having 1 egg for breakfast, 1.5oz tuna for lunch and dinner made with low fat sour cream and a little shredded lettuce. My 3 little meals have 69g protein and about 680 cals. I have not slipped and have that feeling as in the beginning if I even think of eating the wrong thing I will PB in a major way. I have not done that since my fill, but I needed a reality check and I got it. I'm lower right now than I was before I had my dd 15 years ago and hope to be in the 180's next week. only 2lbs away! So that is it in a nutshell, I was tired of being where stats said I would be and and I want to be where I want to be! My dr is going to SHIT when he sees me in November. When school starts I will be back at the Y doing water aeorbics and light weights 3 days a week. OK off to do a little work, got another project. Have a great day everyone.. OH... I'm ok this morning I medicated to sleep last night, I don't understand how you can love someone one day and just walk away without a word the next, I think that is what hurts the most:frown:

Congrats, that is such a great feeling :biggrin:

I still have my kids here until the 10th. just about a perfect day here, a few clouds and no humidity, the pool is 78 and the air is 82 so it feels nice, Did my water aerobic cd, I love that thing. off to shower, today is Cheer tryouts so my running is starting today.

I could always eat breakfast before banding, I liked to wait until I got moving but could eat. Now even if i wanted to I know if I don't wait I'd pb

Hey gals hope you are all off to a good day! I had the same food the last 2 days, altering my egg: 1 egg, shredded zuccini and 1/4 cup 2% shredded cheese and NO BOOZE I'm down 4lbs in 2 days. 665 cals and 69g protein is what I've been getting, entered it into my daily plate. I still have brand new restriction and walk min 2.5 miles a day and 45ins water aerobics or walk 5 miles a day normally but its been raining so i've not done much for a few days. So that is how I jumpstarted it. The giant fill is what I needed

Morning You guys are funny TracyK - I'm sure it is not light or SF ice cream either right? Michelle... you glad to have some quiet? Kitties look like they can't wait either lol drinking my coffee and heading out for a walk, 2.5lbs away from hitting my August Goal of 190, I'm so excited about this again. I've lost 23lbs since July 30!:biggrin::w00t::ohmy: At this rate, I'll hit 175 in no time... then be on my way to exceeding my goals

I think breakfast is just a problem... lots of people I know can't do breakfast. I usually get up, have a cup of coffee, take my vits with a little water and then have breakfast, and when I was working I had it when I got into work at 7:30, I just need to get up and move.

I'm jealous, 3 more weeks before school starts here, except that means summer is over too, I might keep the pool open an extra week, I'll do aerobics if the water is no too cold, it should be ok if I leave the cover on.

Judy sounds like you had a nice time, and I agree, love is love is love...and nothing can change that. Suzie - glad you had a great time well, off to shower, going to bring dd to her boyfriends house have to pick her up about 5 and then going to a concert in the park, my former boss is playing there and when I can i try to get out to see him. distractions.....

good morning everyone another day for me, raining again. Hope you all have a good day

Laura That is really nice, I'm sure you will think of something, what does she like to do? a gift cert, take her out ? I had a very bad kev day, but as much as it hurts, we are going to have a huge fight if he has the balls to answer me and I'm filing the court papers that I should have done months ago and was putting off because I wasn't ready to deal. I am ready now. This is from his vanishing last week, and I can't take the compulsive lies anymore. I/we deserve so much more and I don't want to be alone the rest of my life. It hurts really bad but right now I can't cry anymore, I am so angry. I am going to take a sleeping pill tonight because I don't want to be up all night thinking, I need to rest, plus, when he decides to get into it with me in the middle of the night, i want to ignore it. thanks for letting me rant. I guess you are cheering that after all the time i have known you guys I am finally at this point. not going to be easy but happening

I make a an omlet out of it, put in the middle and fold over like I would with regular cheese. sometimes I mix a little garlic and parm cheese in it too for flavor. This morning I did it with zuccini and 2% cheddar, that was good too. Today i had the eggs a total of 3oz of tuna and lettuce and cheese and 1/2 cup of soup 2qts of lemon water I hope my scale moves in the morning, not a drop of birthday drink today and I think that is a huge problem

I voted Laura - he is so stinkin cute

Terry - glad things sound like they are moving forward and things are looking up Tracy - go you with your great attitude. I am mentally there but I need to stop drinking. We had a week long birthday celebration for my friend and I didn't lose or gain an ounce. I'm dry again today and am not going out again for a while. My kids don't go back to school until 9/10! but when they do I am back at the Y too, right after they get on the bus 3 days a week and I'm walking outside until i possibly can't walk anymore, hope to make it until Thanksgiving. 19 stupid lbs and I hit the goal I set 2 years ago, I can do it, We can do it! allergies are a mess today and I feel like I'm going to throw up, just enough post nasal stuff that is is making my stomach turn. Hope you all have a good day, I'm going to clean and have a lazy day, going to watch the Hanna Montana movie with the girls tonight

Morning gals Kat, you said what I was thinking yesterday. Not that I know what end is up, you all have helped me so much just to stay strong, and I'm sorry you are all dealing with stuff. Well, looks like Bill is heading in my direction, rain for days. How am I going to exercise?
