Okay I will keep it goin!

Goals are everything! Realistic goals that is. Take one day at a time. It's a process and it doesn't happend over night . But you have to start somewhere. Don't be too hard on yourself . You will do fine . I know u will. I even have not so good days . But I keep my eye on the prize . Just set a small goal and work towards it . It's good that we have this support system to keep each other encouraged . We are all on this journey.

Thanks Kool!

Thank you! The 50 lbs includes the pre op diet as well. My biggest change has been no soda or even juice . Not even diet . I can't do it, the juice is too sweet. My palette has changed. I don't crave the same things. I stay full longer now. I also measure my food and count my calories. U use MYFitnessPal and it works for me . Andddd I exercise 6 days a week girl! That's what keeps me losing inches and feeling so energized. My recovery was great. No gas pains At All. Not in my shoulder or back like everybody else. I stayed off for 1 full week and rested. That made a huge difference . Took my pain pils when needed and followed the surgeons diet . Sample: Breakfast: 100 calorie pack low sugar oatmeal and 1 oz eggbeaters Lunch: tuna salad on wheat bread Dinner: small plate , steamed potatoes and 2 chicken wings (grilled) Tea it Water I'm still working in this 1/2 cup of food thing. Trying to get to my green zone. I've had 3 fills so far! My issue is still getting more Protein in and less processed carbs. I started getting heartburn really bad so I cut back. Must have been eating the wrong things . You will be fine. It's so support on here . I'm still trying to figure it out but it's coming along quite well. Feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you guys for the encouraging words! It keeps me on the straight and narrow. I can't wait to see the next 50 lbs come off ....

I know you were thrilled! That is something to be celebrated!

Me and Lady V met up and had a great time ! We have to set up a time for everyone to meet up!

Me too ! My husband hides the scale from me. I can only weigh once a week.

I get a fill every month . I just got one on tues so I have 3 more weeks. I am staying full for 3-4 hrs. I think I was just having a moment because I didn't work out yesterday. For some reason if I don't work out I feel like I'm gaining weight bit actually the opposite is happening. It's a mind thing..

Okay that's good to hear. So I'll stop panicking. I'm still staying within my calorie limit.

I have 6.5 cc in a 14 cc band

Ummmm, I just had my 3 rd fill and I just had dinner. Let's just say I was not supposed to be able to eat all of what I ate... I gotta get it together ..

I just moved back to the States!

I lived right by O'Connell street Near Phisboro. I would always walk in the city. Abt 10 mins from my flat . How far away from the city centre? Will u move ?

Thanks for the tips....love chips but not as much lately

Wow! What an inspiration ... Maybe I need to kick it up a bit ...
