sounds good. Are these pretty moist? How much fat?

Hi everyone! I have looked through here a bit & there are some graet recipes. Only thing is,,,,I'm having a hard time w/ meat. Anyone know of any good low fat crock pot recipes??? Thanks!!!

Thanks Tiny!!! I didn't relize you had been banded before. So, you know it does work. :tt2: What time is the meeting? I'll look it up. I would like to meet you all. It would be so neat to compare ideas & tips & thoughts in person. I live about an 1 1/2 from there though.

Teri-LOL I gotta laugh because you seem wired w/ al your posting lol! You did have a lot to share. I take an antidepressant (zoloft). I was taking 2 pils but cut down to 1 because it was such a pain to crush them up & drink them. I couldn't do them at the same time either because the taste was so gross. I have been on them for a long time now but don't feel they're doing me very good. I need to talk to my PC about trying something different. Why take meds if your still depressed? We've up the dose & I just don't feel they're good for me. Anyway, I'm glad your getting your fill early. I got my fill bumped up closer by a week too! YAY! Today I got back on track & I'm writing food down too! Hang in everyone!

well, today I'm back on track! :-) I am going to start measuring & counting calories, even gonna get in some exercise!!! THINK POssitive right!!! :-)

don't feel bad ladies I've been on a binge because i know i gotta get my ass back in gear. I just had a pepperoni pixxa pocket :thumbup: It wasn't even good. :wink2: I don't know what to do. I'm so affraid

I was wondering if I could get my next fill before I'm scheduled to on 12-1. I don't feel any restriction anymore. I am not doing good at all :thumbup:. I'm not doing my part at all. I'm so mad at myself! :mad: I'm feeling like I'm alone on some random diet failing again. :sad: I don't know why I always reck it for myself. I know I can do this! I've been feeling really depressed lately. I need a pep talk HELP!!! :wink2:

WOW!!! your WL is awesome!!!! you should be proud!!!

LMAO!!!! THat's quite a list lol!!! I know what you mean. I think I'm gonna go buck wild once I lose most of my weight! I wanna wear the sexiest clothes I can find!!!! All these years of being frumpy & fat have SUCKED!!!

Thanks girls. I just feel like I'm losing motivation. I know my band can't do it alone & I have to work it but I just feel like I will fail again. When I got my band I thought there was going to be a lot of "BAD" foods I wouldn't be able to eat anymore. I can eat everything still. I'm going back in forth w/ low carb or low fat :cool: I don't know which to do.

I'm feeling frustrated & down today. :thumbdown: I have only had one fill since sugery & felt some restiction. Today I was up a few lbs. I didn't have a good day. I feel like I don't even have my band & it's just me alone on some random diet again. Will it get better???

TFS!!!! yummm

I like the mashed cauliflower w/ biutter & sour cream. :thumbup:

I had surgery 9-25. I can pretty much eat anything if I take small bites & chew a lot. I had my 1st fill last wk & can see the difference in the amount it takes to fill me. I can eat a few oz of protein & be good for hours some days. I am working on the "head hunger" too.

I've bad this before & LOVE it TOO!!!

Oh don't feel bad. I know what you mean. we all want it NOW. I haven't lost much in the last few weeks myself. I know it's hard not too get upset. Just think we're going in the right direction . This is not gonna be a quick thing for any of us & we'll have to always deal w/ the food & weight issues. Even when we do lose all the weight it will still be a life long battle. I know I battle myself everyday. It's almost like something in me is used to failing & wants to. Does that make sense??? I'll hang in there if you will. :ohmy: Now, if I could only follow my own advise .

I know what you mean about the water. Do you feel tighter in the morning (anyone?) I do.

Glad your fill went well. So, you get 2 this month. I don't go for another till Dec. 1st. I am paying more attention to my body now & eating more protein. I'm eating protein 1st too. I can see the difference. Yesterday I was stuffed off only a few oz of chicken . I ate at 12;30 & didn't feel hungry again till 5;30 but didn't even eat till 7;30 pm :eek:. Is this all in my head lol!!! I love my band ! -21 lbs as of yesterday :ohmy:

yeah, I think I'll probably do a lot better on a low carb diet now than before. Seeing how I'm limited on the amount I can eat. I don't count the carbs in low starch veggies either. :-)

I am about 6 wks post op & have had one fill. I'm thinking of doing low carb. How do I start? I've done low carb where you do no carb 1st then add some in. How many carbs can you do a day? Do you do low fat or do you not watch the fat at all? All responses are appreciated. Thanks!

luluc- I tried the squash w/ meat sauce. GOOOOOD!!!!
