HI there and thank you all! I had a great day and I hope you all did too! Angie! I started with a banana protein shake and egg whites. I had a small 100 calorie snack....then for lunch I had a chicken salad, snack(after workout) protein shake and dinner, Grilled tilapia with asparagus. Lots of water and one cup of coffee gotta have that coffee hehe

Congrats! girl and Good for you on celebrating. What a Fantastic Idea on having a Zumba party! Hope you have a blast!!!

Hi there...sounds good to me! I'll add ya and I like to check up on my pals at least once a week at least. I hope your having a great weekend!

Well, Hello to you that is currently reading this. My name is Kanda and I am 31 married with one son. I had my lapband on October 27th and have lost 67 pounds. Lately, I have been stuck in a rut but today I wake up and realize life is great and I will succeed. I am hoping to find others that want some buddies no matter where we live because lets face it...we are the only one's that know what its like going thru this whole ordeal. Our struggles and our positives. I live in Colorado but am from Texas. I have to say even tho lately I've been sorta down...This is the best thing I have done for myself. I suffer from PCOS so that does not help when trying to lose weight. anyway I hope to meet people that just want to vent or be cheered on so Good luck to all of us!! :wub:

Thanks I saw it and had to share because I am awful about putting things off...Have a great day!

LOVE THIS!!

Wow great job on your weightloss!! You inspire! What is your diet and workout like? Do you drink just water? I am sad to report I get caught up in sugary drinks like orange juice! ICK! anyway Great job keep up the great work!

NM I see grand junction I've been there once such a pretty drive!

Wow you truly are a motivation Your doing awesome and slow and steady does win the race!...I live in Westminster,CO which is near north of Denver...do you live close to Denver?

Thats fantastic!!! Great job girl! Keep up the great work! You are all over it!

UGH, I want to work out and I should but I am so Tired. Trying to get my motivation going is hard...But I just need to get 30 minutes in but meh...I've got to figure out ways to get going...before surgery when I had to lose weight I did it no problem I was losing a pound a day but now meh...Don't get it...I'd give anything to have half the energy I had when I was younger....anyway hope everyone had a good 4th! Not bad here it was nice but it totally thru me off having the day off in the middle of the week....All i have to say that tomorrow is Friday and YAY!.

Robert you crack me up hehe work outs are on!! Natalie did you work out? I am sad to report I did not but I made it up today. Like you Man every day i was all over it now I am like pshhht...whats wrong with me!! ick

I realize that just because I had surgery that my struggles with food would not come to an end. I am so tired of my issues with food. Its supposed to be fuel for the body!...so why do I think about food all the time!? I am not sure how to get thru this. I started seeing a therapist but nothing seems to help. Willpower needs to kick in high gear and even then I give in and say oh I'll start tomorrow. So tell me why do I do that when I want this so much I could scream? do I not want it that bad? These are questions that I constantly play in my head. I can't answer them and if I do I get pumped up for a few mins and then its gone. I am frustrated because I am at a loss. I am not giving up tho. I am very determined to do this. I just have to struggle with all that on top of it that it weighs down. Lately I am exhausted and use that as an excuse to not work out but when I do work out I fell great...I don't get it. Yesterday I had to go in to the doc's to have fluid removed because I got super sick on Monday causing me to vomit in turn swell so in order for me to even get water down they had to remove fluid. I go back in a few weeks to have it put back but still I sit here hungry...even tho I am on a liquid diet due to the issue for today and back to normal tomorrow I just know that once "let" lose I'll be like do I really want that Sure why not and gobble gobble. I don't mean to sound like poor me poor me...I realize its all me...I just don't get how I want it so much to just fail... well thats my vent for the day...hope everyone else is doing awesome :wub:

Hi there, I can completely relate to what you said. I don't think you work out to much but your doctor may be able to determine. What kinds of foods do you eat? are you tempted alot? i know I am my husband and son do their best but they shouldn't have to suffer to much because of me even tho they don't mind. So I am tempted for the most part I do really well but every day is a real hard struggle. If your feeling hungry I'd say go in for a fill. I am going on Tuesday for one as I feel like I can eat everything in sight. Not a good feeling. I too have gotten sick alot as well and like you mostly from eating to fast. I had to get all my fluid removed and "start over" because I got food stuck. I can't imagine the pain you must of felt when your band twisted. Sorry to hear that. Hang in there we are here for you! and you can come vent any time you need

Yay Great job!

Hang in there ladies! you got this!

Hi there and welcome! Congrats to you I know you have to be super excited and nervous all rolled into one! Good for you for taking the time off for yourself to make sure you are fully healed! Keep us posted on your progress!!

Whoo hoo!! Keep up the great work!

Hi there! and congrats on your way to losing weight and on becoming a med student!...I know what you mean I wanted everything I couldn't have but as time went on it did get better...Keep up the great work you got this!
