Anne-Cuse

Looking forward to putting my package together this weekend! Hoping to hear from whoever got my name soon! It's great hearing from new people

I am down 40. I am discouraged, however I started a new job last month and I swear I'm taking up residency there. I decided the other day to leave Golds gym and join planet fitness since they are 24 hours. Then I have access. I am just happy to be able to eat salad again. When I had my Lapband, I could barely pass salad. Now I have it. Everyday..... You ladies are looking fab! Keep it up!

So I am making turkey chili today, not very spicy. I am thinking of freezing some to purée when I can have it in the future post op.... Super Protein. Any thoughts?

New recipe! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/03/white-bean-turkey-chili-4-pts.html?m=1

Hi everyone! Wow has life been a whirlwind. I am starting a new job on Monday, which I am psyched. I joined Golds gym this week, which I am loving how I am feeling.... I have been having difficulty with some foods, however my little cuisine art processor is my best friend. Yesterday I was able to push through just over 2 miles, and burned 510 calories. It felt so good to do that. I am so excited with the changes I am seeing and feeling with my body..... When I lost weight before, I had saved my "skinnier" clothes and am now able to wear a good number of them. The other day I was the girl with the apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur! Lol.... Hope you all are enjoying this journey! Sd: 10/18 Sw: 303 Today: 273

I myself like to talk about the conversion, especially since the band has failed so many. People can be cruel no matter what. But unless they walk a day in our shoes, try have no idea what it is like..... Be proud of all you have endured! It's a proud moment to be able to talk about how you are bettering yourself. Ask them what they are doing to better themselves.

Stalls suck but be patient

Hope everyone had a good turkey day. I picked at the different things I made. And didn't gain anything. Actually lost a lb. Dos weight: 303 10/18/2012 Cw: 279

So I have officially gotten my visit today 4 1/2 weeks post op, with no birth control. Let me tell ya, I was so nauseous last night, I thought I ate something bad. Today I had the headache from hell. But on a good note, a lil liquid Tylenol and a nap and I was much better

Me threw. 20 lbs down!

Dos 10/18....303 Cw....283 I am joining the YMCA tomorrow. I won a free month membership.... Woohoo! I can't wait. They have water Zumba!

It will happen. I went thru that on my 3rd week as well.

I weighed myself this morning and after the fluctuation and stall for past week, finally down a couple pounds again. Making total weight loss 18lbs. Dos 10-18-12....

I have hopped on skinnytaste.com Great recipes on there for people dieting!

That makes 3 of us.... I am noticing a slight difference in my face and the way some of my clothes fit..... But I do realize this didn't happen over night an just have to be patient :-)

So here I am thinking I was going to be tough 3 weeks and try chewing tender chicken and broccoli. I am sooooo uncomfortable. Although I brought it back up, I feel as if its still there. I will be grinding it up to enjoy the flavor...... Ughhh :-/

Thanks much. Yep I did, however it was not forceful thank goodness. I have even feeling so well that I had to remember its only been 3 weeks. Lol. So now I will be tough on myself to save myself lol....

I learned that the hard way but now having it ground an enjoying lol

Shonabear, I am in the same boat this week. I told myself this morning, no scale for a couple days..... It's very irritating. But it is truly amazing how much I am turned away from so many foods now. I am however craving Chinese food. Lol......we will get there...

That happened to me as well. And oh my you never realize the commercials until you can't have it

Not fresh salad..... Only things like chicken, tuna, egg salads...... No raw veggies yet. Only cooked.....you don't want that aftermath yet :-)

Overall I'm feeling great. Just super frustrated with the stall the past few days, but I realize it goes with the territory. I have to rememeber I am only 17 days out. Lol. I went to a jewelry party last night and there was wine..... It killed me not to sample lol. But I stayed strong..... How are you doin?

I have been hovering around the same weight for days, and who knows if my period will come normal or not..... I guess only time will tell.
