My biggest inspiration is playing with my kids instead of sitting on the sidelines. Then there's compliments, smaller clothes,feeling better about myself, and finally being in control of food.

I always stop at a cup of food. I have no signs of being full but like carolinagirl said I know that's enough food and it's time to stop.

My doctor said it was fine to have 2 cups a day. I drink it w/splenda and a spash of milk.

I had surgery Aug 29th and am down 26 pounds. I walk 2 miles 5 times a week. I'm trying to walk faster every time and hopefully I'll be able to go further soon. Good luck!!

I have 2x scrubs you can have

Wow good for you! I'm 4 days out and am also feeling good. Still sore but much better than I thought. Congrats on the loss!

surgery went well trying to get water in. going to rest. musicteacher hope all is well.

Me too!! Good luck!!!

I'm right behind you at 6:45!! Good luck!

Good luck!! Mine is tomorrow!

It will be here before you know it!! Be safe! MusicTeacher I can't believe we go in tomorrow!! Good luck! I'm so exicted and nervous!

good luck!!! I'm going tomorrow!

I made lasanga and ziti and froze them. I'm probably freezing chicken soup next.

We have the same surgery date!! I ate the same foods as you until I couldn't move I was so full. Now I concentrate on my protien, veggies, and lots of water with mio or crystal light. Everyone has been saying "if you can do it now why have surgery?" They just don't understand that I've done this before and if I could stick to it on my own I wouldn't be fat. We can do this!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm due to be banded Aug. 29th and have been excited (and a little nervous) about it. This past weekend my brother in law told me that his sister almost died from the band. She lost about 100 pounds and gained it all back then she exercised like crazy and lost it again. The band slipped after she lost it the second time and her stomach rotted. She only has 5% of it left!! Has anyone ever heard of this? It made me very nervous!! Thanks.

Thanks!! Jean that gave me a good laugh! I am trying not to listen to him but it's hard. I have been on my pre-op diet and lost so I am confident that I can do this. I want to be heathy and fit for life and I know this is the right decision!!

Thanks I'm trying this!!

I make kale chips and zuchinni chips in the oven. Just a little cooking spray and sea salt yum yum!!

I'm having the same problems. My surgery is Aug 29th and I have all I can do to stay out of the kitchen. Hang in there!

Aug 29th can't wait!!
