Weight Warrior

Please dont take this the wrong way but you look like a totally diffrent person.....you look amazing, congratulations!

I may have some insight to that issue. I find between monday through friday i have breakfast a small midday snack and then dinner. Dinner during the week is when i run into the issue you are describing. Weekends im on a less hectic schedule and can have 5 meals as recommended and i very rarely have the tightness followed by calling for ralph in the toilet. the longer i go between meals and sometimes properly hydraing the tighter le pouch becomes. Prior to the creation of le pouch my stomach would talk to me and mys tomach would shrink i think the same can be said for le pouch except since it is so small its objects in a more serious fashion. I did have an eposide today! was out most of the morning and afternoon. Came home to a low carb whole wheat tortilla with peach mango salsa as a snack and must have not chewed or has one bite to many because i got the sweats and the watery mouth etc.etc. .... total suckage!!!! Hope the info helps RJ

Im in total agreement with you. Holidays (for now) mess with my schedule. I know it will get sorted out in the future but for now i need dicipline and a schedule to help me focus on everything but food. Bad food is an intresting subject,since the RNY i can spot "Bad" food like a man wearing a bad toopee. I have people constantly asking dont you miss this or that kind of food? NO!.....its like asking me " do you miss having a broken leg?" NO! while its something i had to go throught, its not something i miss..... Cheers to all of us, 2014 the year we ALL reach our goal weight!!!!! RJ

Dress warm! :-)

In the Philadelphia area a Christmas tradition for all of us history geeks is to go to the annual Christmas day reenactment of Washingtons crossing the Delaware River. Since it was 20 balmy degrees here. By the end of the day i was freezing my Hessians off ( Revolutionary war humor :-p ) But since im able to do so much more this year and for the rest of my hopefully very long life, im trying new things even if freezing is part of the deal. So i hope you also had / having a great Christmas. RJ [ATTACH]39102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]39102[/ATTACH]
