Starting Over!

I want to be in life and not just watching from the side lines!

Sorry to hear of your loss...stay strong and know a smaller you is a healthier you!

Thanks for the recipe....that sounds so good!

Yes..also chicken with peppers low sodium chicken broth with a tbs of corn starch is a favorite. Can also make a beef version.

Have you tried jello? Works with pills being stuck...it might help?

Congrats! Good luck in your journey!

On Dr Oz web site hungry girl's shrimp with unnoodles and spinach is amazing and very healthy. Other recipes listed as well. Enjoy!

My settings...notification options.....click 2x's each of the middle categories. Good luck!

Congratulations!

Well said Carolina girl! Great blog yellow rose....!

LMAO!!!!

Back on track scale numbers going in the right direction and shakes are working out well with one balanced meal. Thanks again everyone for your support!

OK....I have had a few minor indiscretions in my diet; nothing terrible like a binge or anything. Noticed I am trying bites here and there....and now for the freak out got on the scale and gained 5 lbs this morning! I haven't been walking much due to a cold coming on....I am so back on a liquid diet as of this moment and no more indiscretions for me! I will be focusing on my actual hungar and not my head hungar! So frustrating! Thanks for hearing my rant...it's my fault so I am going to dust myself off and get busy!

Thank you all for your support! I am switching to 3 shakes and a protein and vegetable for dinner. This will be a good start on the right track and I have to journal and count calories. I see others with greater loss than I have shown in the same time frame and I know there are always differences not everyone is the same ....just can't fail at this..... failure is NOT an option for me! Again...thank you all so much for your wisdom and support! I am on track again and hope / no will post better numbers by next week! Another fill on the 16th hopefully I will be seeing green!

LMAO!!!

I make chicken salad with pineapple, or lettuce wraps with healthy choice sliced buffalo chicken, sliced cheese, guacamole, cucumber, tomato, wrap it in parchment paper and then clear wrap. It's yummy!

Start fresh...yes you can!

Walk soon after surgery and walk often. Almost no gas pain for me. My issues were with meds from the surgery. Almost no pain at all after the 1st night! Good luck!

Thank you for your support...looking forward to my next fill on the 16th! Hoping to feel full longer!

Love that...welcome to the fight! Yes...you can!

I find when the scale is stubborn...the inches reduce. So look at your clothes are they getting looser? Don't let the scale be such a focus...this is something I had to learn I am a slow looser and it is frustrating but I am hanging in there seeking all my successes which are non-scale related as well. I am feeling great also........how about you? So keep up the great work don't give up!

My little secret is only shared with others who could use this tool. I have them swear to keep it confidential. So far no one speaks about it to me and I like it that way! I work in an environment which is full of gossips and judgemental people, so keeping it to myself has worked well for me.

Journaling works for me and exercise if I am out there walking I don't want to mess it up by eating additional calories. I keep telling myself this is for my health! Good luck!

Remind yourself all you have done to get this band! Do not waste any more time make an appointment with Your surgeon and Start Over! It is OK this time you can be successful..... Start changing one thing at a time write down everything you Put in your mouth and show your journal to your weight loss professionals They can help you get back on the right road. Good luck!
