I HAVEN'T MASTERED IT YET, SO I TEND TO OVER BLEND STUFF STILL.:tongue2:. LAUREL NO POINT INTENDED JUST THAT BOTH MY MOM AND HER 2 SISTER WENT ON FORMULA 40-30-30 AND IN 15MONTHS ALL HAD LOST OVER 150LBS. MY MOM LOST 213LBS. BUT, THE POINT IS MY AUNTS ARE OVER 51. HELL I KNOW YOUNG PEOPLE THAT LOSS SLOW I DONT CARE IF ITS FAST OR SLOW AS LONG AS IT COMES OFF AND DOESN'T COME BACK. IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DRINKING. I FIND MY SELF DRINKING AFTER I FINISH EATING. SOME TIMES I CAN WAIT 15MINS AFTER THAT IM FEEL LIKE IM DIEING OF THIRST. GONE TRY IT TODAY AND WAIT TO DRINK OR DRINK BEFORE AS I HAVE NEVER DID THAT ONE YET.

omg that is great i will weigh my self on tuesday and post what my weight is now. Jewel you are doing so good hell we all are. Pete how much have you lost since surgery. Me the 11lbs and counting. tell me since being band does anyone count what they are eating. I made a yogurt w Peanut Butter in it. 1 cup size eat it to almost a .50 a half and just didn't want any more. It trips me out every time it happens. I tried eggs and could only eat 1 ozs. That was so funny. any who how much calories is everyone eating once on regular food. I was thinking 1200-1700 a day as i will be going back to the gym on monday. Just doing cardio for the next 3wks. This is what i was on before surgury and lost alot of weight moving up an down on these amounts. Seems like alot so i will see as most of you have to remember im bigger than most. Well next challenge goes up 1-2-09 until feb. 14th or beyond let me know should it be till the end of febuary. Let me know what you all think.

hi just wanted to tell you that we have a group just for people with this date. go under monthly support groups and click dec08 and you will see the group. "december 15th banders come on down" is what it is called your more than welcome to join.:tongue2:

what does everyone think about posting what they eat maybe that will help use lose more.

iim on pureed which is any thing you put in the blender like baby food like food. i think i did good today here is what i eat today. b-15oz oj s-1 slice of turkey mashed up l-2spoons each dressin, yams mashed, slice turkey mashed up. d- same as above (it all fits in the size bowl that you eat the broth out of at the hospital) larel age is just a number always remember your as young as you feel. my granny use to say dont nothing get old but, money an clothes. also glad to hear that your night was better. i never felt full or felt like i over eat at any point so i ate 2x's in 9hrs. rose im gonna have to start tracking what i eat. do you use that calorie counter thing i was thinking about trying it. think im gonna stick around 1200-1700 calories. going back to the gym on monday very happy about that. that's really gonna help me out. laurel have you thought about how may calories you will be trying to eat a day. what about you allie. laurel yes ya ex is mad as you have showed him that life goes on without good for you. heres a laugh on him just think the healthier you get the better you will look and he will feel worser for what he lost. they always hate to see there ex's looking good it makes them feel like shit. so under that note you go girl. i to have a magic bullet i love mine.

great job rose, i think it will try and do any where in between 1200-1500 but, never over 1700 when i go back to he gym. that is what i was eating around to lose the 43lbs. so that will be my range once i start back eating real food.

thanks, your doing great also.

same to you and everyone else. and to all a good night.

great job everyone. i want everyone to always share how they are feeling, as that is important on this ride. that is what we are here for always remember there will be good days and there will be bad ones. that's how we learn trust me. i know im younger that most of you but, i seem to have alot of wisdom alot of people say i have the spirit of a old women. i just smile as i know i have grown up around older people. well said allie i to agree with you on that. laurel and rose please dont be discourage by the weightloss that is some thing you should be proud of. its not easy i know. think of it as 7lbs you didn't gain nor will it be comeing back. you are 7lbs closer to your goal. thats some thing that needs to be shouted i did it. it will get better. doesn't really matter how much you loose as long as you finish the race. we are running a marathon not a track meet lets remember that. im so proud of this group we have been through some thing and through it all we still stand tall. laurel give it time, time heals all things. right now ladies we all need to focus on our goals and not let anyone or thing stand in our way. i know you feel hurt becuse its your son but, you still love him and deep down inside he still loves you. hold that close to your heart. as love can with stand the test of time. pray about it and then put it in gods hands he will take care of it may not be when you want him to but, he will.:sad: sending everyone nothing but, love and happy thoughts. workd for tom. is healthy food decisions. and rose i know you cant wait to get to mushy. i dont like pureed. cant wait till next wk to be on soft food. happy holidays everyone.:thumbup::tt2::Banane21::youcandothis:

allie its on here just stroll down the threads under dec.08 the title is the new years challenge. also i know what you mean about the eating part. i tried a scrambled egg this evening i eat an ounce and walked away funny thing was i wasn't full or hungry but, was satified with that. my dude said that's a first. so i guess the band does work. but, the dr told me that i was alittle tight. im cool right now being on the liquid part i really like yogurt and c-cheese and pudding i can live off that. :thumbup: also luarel what happen at the dr.s today dont keep us in the dark share the lose. just playing with ya. maybe one of us should do a weight talley so we all can keep track of what everyone in our group has lost. maybe who ever is good with making sheets, we not gone say any names allie. just kiding but, maybe we should what does everyone thing.

well hello all, just coming from my 1 wk, post-opt appointment and i lost 11lbs. so i either have 3 more lbs to go or if i include all the weight from just december then im down 22lbs. i also moved to pureed phase for the next wk. see how that works.

hey laurel , glad to hear that your doing good. i to am not back to my old self yet but im working on it. hey allie how are you today? well i went to my appointment this morning and it was cool. only problem was my blood pressure went down again it also happen 1 wk before surgery. today it was 92/60 dont know why i happen again. seems like if i lose over 7lbs i does that. any who i have to go back on the 6th for them to check it again and go over the blood work that i have to do. then after that i go back 2-24-09 to see how im doing and if i need a fill. so here it is i lost 11lbs so that takes me down to 378. i think im gonna add a 2nd tickler that shows how much i have lost since surgery. also they moved me to pureed phase and dr said i have to do better than i did on liquids as i was only drinking under 31oz a day. so i agreed and i will try. allie that is a good idea about the sheet. maybe i will do one also. i can do the gym in another wk as i still have some bruising and swelling on my one incision. i cant wait. well i hope everyone has a nice holiday. keep up with the posting too. one question "how many calories do you plan on eating per day when everyone gets to regular food" please think about this for a minute this the question for the wk. also allie we have a weightloss chellange for the new years if you would like to join and get in on the fun.:thumbup:
