Wow it has been almost a month since I reported in..Went on vacation to Disney World for 2 weeks but am down to 185 so I lost 6 more pounds, altogether nI have lost 14. Need to get back on track.

Hey eileen.. I am so with you. I found just about anything I can eat, the sugar free fat free jello and fat free cool whip is my death. I can eat it and eat it and then add up the calories and whoa I feel guilty. I have decided not to buy it. Along with the carb solutions peanut butter, it is also bad for me, I eat too much, so even stuff that is supposably good for me just isn't and it sucks. Everyone is right, all the bad stuff goes down easily! People think that because we had the surgery this is easy, well it isn't, it sucks and is very hard! I also have ot get back on track, been slipping really bad. Do you still have my #? Give me a call, hope to see you tomarrow at group. Wendy

hey porcln..I am so sorry you are having a hard time. I can totally identify, I called some of the ladies from group and cried at about the same time post op. the jello and icepops really helped me. I found the sugar free fat free pudding is very bad for me especially with fat free cool whip.. there is never enough and it does not fill me up so I constantly overeat it and feel guilty so be careful! For me it is not only what is "good or bad" it is why and how much! Try the pops and jello first, you know how strict dr. kwon is. Also, I called about 2 weeks post op and they added about a table spoon of cottage cdhees to my diet and it filled me up so give them a call.

My husband was nervous. He is very thin and didn't realize how much my weight bothered me since I was at my largest when I met him. After I explained the way I felt everyday..fat and unattractive..he said "whatever you need to make yourself feel better." Now that I am losing he is nervous I will "leave him for a rich man." I just told him if I wanted to marry a rich man I could have but I chose him (Iwas dating one when I met him.) Now I am nervous he won't like me skinny, LOL. I will say one thing even with just 30 lbs off our romance is much better!!! My self confidence is much higher which I am sure helps in that area.

Good evening Porclndoll..I will be preying for you on the 5th..my family will be on vacation so you will be all banded when I get back. I am having a bad day today myself. Hope yours is better today. You will be fine I was amazed at how well mine went. I haven't been on the yahoo yet today but will be on later tonight around 10 if you want to try again.

Can't make it sunday:( got a wedding to atend.

Hey everyone thanks for the encouragement. I was so upset today I called Caroline at Dr. Kwons. She changed my appointment on Monday so I could actually see the Dr. himou all soon.self!!! It was her idea too. I guess all you have to do is the right thing and not lose weight and you get to see the Dr. himself!! Anyway she thinks I may need a fill even though it has been 4 weeks since surgery but wants the Doc to check it. Anyway I guess I will just have to keep doing the right thing and the right thing will happen. Next Friday my family leaves for Disney and I hope I can be as good there. I know I will be doing a lot of walking and we have a cabin so we have a kitchen. Porin when is your date again?? Talk to you all soon,

Hey guys I need HELP!!! Until tonight I have been following the mushie diet and haven't lost an ounce since I started it almost 2 weeks ago. As most of you know I had surgery 3/23 and lost a bunch in the begining. I also shared at support group last night how depressed I am getting following the diet and not losing:cry . Tonight I slipped and had a whole bowl of suger free fat free pudding with fat free whipped topping..now I feel disgusting and discouraged. This is really sucking right now I am mad at myself for eating and depressed for working hard for 2 weeks and not losing. I am desperate and it is effecting everyone around me because I am miserable. Any words of encouragement? Any suggestions?

hey everbody.stayed the same this week..Is this typical when you start to eat again??.

Thanks porcin for you suggestions, mashed taters sound good ufortunately we are not allowed to have them. The diet is so strict. For lunch I had some tuna with lite mayo and green beans and dinner an egg and green beans. So happy to hear you have a tentative date. I had GHI and once Mary Anne put in the paperwork they called me the next day to say I was approved. Welcome Jorjet. I am in Monroe so no help with carpooling here. But do go to the group at mauri's on mondays. The next one is the 18th. Good luck on your banding the 21st. We are all here to help each other. Take care y'all.

Happy Monday!! Today I weighed in at 191 so I lost 3 this week. Have a great week everyone.

Happy Monday everyone!! Just wondering how everyone is? I go to Dr. Kwon's later today and then will be able to eat mushies :banana . I am a little nervous that I will eat the wrong things and stop losing weight. Is this normal? Anyone have good suggestions for food to eat that are healthy and not too gross?? Like I said I am so scared of sabatoging this whole thing. Thanks..Wendy
