Our NUT has a 30/30/30 rule.

Sleeved May 16! HW 263.8 SW 243.4 CW 225.0

Totally weird! My daughter left a Dove dark chocolate bar in my handbag yesterday and I decided to break off the smallest corner of it and let it dissolve on my tongue. (Before anyone judges me, the amount I broke off was about the size of a black peppercorn.) I have always loved Dove dark chocolate -- it's one of my favorite things. I am not a huge sweet eater, but when I do want something sweet, I want something small and rich. The Dove promises are perfect and have always been a go-to dessert. It tasted like I had just licked the bottom of an ashtray. That excites me so much! I hope it lasts.

I love my baby spoons. Sippy cups aren't my thing.

You look like the type who cannot be trusted and now you've proven it.

That's how I felt on Phentermine. I did WWs at the same I've just to make myself eat. That really wouldn't other me.

I double the Water in all Crystal Light and Gatorade (Look mom! Saving money!!). I also milk down my Protein drinks. I'm ok with it. Now let's hope that pizza and other savory stuff tastes like crap when I get to it.

Not a big fan here, either. I have to force myself to eat and while things taste ok, actually swallowing the food is a chore. It's mental and physical. I'll get there, I'm sure and you will, too.

YAY YOU! Can't wait to hear back from ya!

Thanks! I always do.

I hope you are right!!

I agree. This was proven implicitly.

No, they don't think like you at all. And by making the statement that everyone from Texas is like you is completely insulting. That said, you are free to believe what you believe and everyone else is free to form their opinions of you based on your words and actions. Just curious, how old are you?

I've kind of gotten stuck this week, too. I figure I can't undo the sleeve and I am still unable to eat/drink much of anything without retching it all up. This is usually the point that I quit whatever diet I am on, but this is one I am unable to so... I have no choice but to keep on healing, keep on tracking and keep on walking the weight off.

I had the same problem with cramping. Now, with the Mirena, my cramping is gone. It is hormone releasing so my PMS is completely regulated (you'd have to ask my husband if it is gone, but I assure you he is too intelligent to say anything but yes) and my bleeding is minimal. If I have a period, it's one wipe of a very light pink and it's gone. I love love love my Mirena. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I have several friends who live in Texas and NONE of them behave like you. You've made general, sweeping insults of Mexico, Wisconsin and Texas. Anyone else you would like to group together and trash?

Only if his dink it about 16 inches. His isn't.

No way! That hurts, doesn't it? My mirena solved all my problems till this. I am not having any more as they could cause my brain tuhma to grow back, but ain't no one stripping out my innards any more than they've been stripped so far. Too chicken, here!

Oh, gurrrllll.... Along with chugging 1-2 glasses before dinner and a glass every time I thought about eating, I have the bladder of a camel. I can go weeks without peeing.

It's the only way for me. WWs had me trained to take a huge drink with every bite and after 20 years of that, it's hard not to. If there is a glass of water on the table, it will be gone without my knowledge by the end of the "meal". So, nope, no drinks at the table anymore.

I am having a hard time with the transition to mushy foods. Some things will go down fine one day and not at all the next. I can either get in my liquids or my Protein, but not both in the same day. I've figured out that my best bet is to get in 40oz of liquid one day and then 40g protein the next. I fall between 100 and 300 calories a day although I made it to 400 today. Wooot! I have not been cleared for exercise because of my low caloric intake, but I did start back to my martial arts Monday. I am going to start gentle swimming tomorrow, too. Going slow on both. No falls or sparring for me, but I am not the walking type. I would rather do something fun for exercise so... Today I decided to go back to full sugar Gatorade while I am so low in calories. Without it, I would have been at 250 today. It's easier for me to drink, it gives me the electrolytes I need and a little more energy. As soon as I can muster some real food, I will go back to crystal light and g2. I felt much better today after getting a who,e bottle down.

Yay you!

This is the hardest thing. I can't even bring my drink to the table. I am so used to drink drink drinking. I truly despise this rule even though I totally get it.

Nope. I have an IUD so I won't have a period because I am anemic and used to pass out from heavy bleeding. I started my preop about a month before surgery and I am almost three weeks post op now. I have been on the rag on and off for almost six weeks now. It's never ending. The doc, np and my gyno all say this is normal and will level off. Good news? Uhmmm... Yeah, I got nothin. Periods suck.

No pop rocks? BOOOOO!
