No game

The best I could say is dont do it. you are only going to make your self miserable... People do this a lot (food funerals) because they feel like after they have surgery they will never eat again, not true you will be eating after surgery, just not as much.

Dang this is like "true confessions" here!!!!

The first thing I would say you need to get your water in if miss my mark I get a headache... And yes please call the doctor!

Hehehe.. Don't I know it! Especially if they said eat something fatty and yummy! I could not stomach another protein product today... My doctors order was to eat around 1000 a day

That was my breakfast ( every morning )

Dude you need to gnaw on a piece of meat and get that protein up

I drink a lot of "sweet tea" mio now and powerade zero grape ( not to strong so it's good)

Ahh yes the weird heavy water thing a lot of people here say that!! It seems to get a little better with time but at this point I still flavor my water a lot to get it down. And yes I love water too..

Yeah I just finished dinner and I've had 576 calories today 9 carbs 70 protein And I don't not want anything else tonight!! (Unless it was a piece of cake of course)

Some say plain water doesn't agree with them anymore... But I think that's more of a taste thing. Could it of been that you were up and walking around a lot while you were drinking? Because if I'm upright and on the go, things go down with less discomfort...

I guess your going to he our test subject John!!

Yeah the cake wasn't good and I'm not happy about it. It was my sons birthday and I was powerless over it... And I ate a thin mint yesterday! I get so confused like Dana said some people here say they eat 600 calories a day and are losing great then you have others say they are eating 1100 a day and they are losing..

Ummm... Good luck. Lol dean! I'm old..

sorry to hear your not doing well... Try and rest if you can.

Hi Dana, I meet with my surgeon again a little less than a month from now for my four month follow up.. I'm already stressing out about it because of my weight loss I just talked to a girl he sleeved the same day that has lost 35 more pounds than me so far.. I know my surgeon going to look at me crazy! Oh and the calorie thing I'm scared to go higher!!!

Good Samaritan on the San Jose/ Los Gatos border has support meetings just google "Good Samaritan bariatric support" And you can find info on it

I think that's the hard part for me right now I'm three months out, You know....kinda the witching hour of "diets" when you've done good, lost some weight then you start slipping. So to me the cookie was much more than a cookie. Scary scary head games some times!

How can say it... Mint and chocolate together, like yin and yang, in perfect harmony, Poetic! Umm....It was good Thank god they are gone today though (but not by my hand or mouth though) The part I don't get, is that doe eyed devil (girl scout) came to my door over a week ago selling those Cookies. And my husband bought a box and well they lasted over a week with both kids and my husband eating them! How can they do it?? That box would of not stood a chance with me a couple of months ago.

I would of kicked him in the shins.

Hehe... I was just confessing about a run in with a thin mint yesterday!! Damn Girl Scouts and my husband for buying them!

I would say prepare your self for the worst.. that is, be prepared that it will be painful and uncomfortable the first week. I say that because I see a lot of people freak out in the first week, like "what the hell have I done to myself". Be good to yourself and be patient and you will do great [edit] WALK!!! I almost forgot no matter how much you don't want to walk. Do at least 10 minutes out if every hour, the more you can do the better because really one of the hardest parts is the gas pain...

Hehehe but some of us would be sawing away at a T-bone steak with that knife and make it work!

I love you too!! Who knows maybe tonight I'll wash my hands first....

What is that tv show??? Oh yeah "the new normal" Yes you will be normal again and will be able to socialize and drink a glass of wine (down the road). But it will be a new kind of normal.. a "normal" normal. Not the old normal of overindulging! How many times can I use the word "normal"
