I second that emotion!

I haven't had any pain so far. Just that awful feeling in my throat when I shouldn't have eaten something (like last night). It is funny because I can eat steak, but couldn't eat a slice of lunch meat with mustard on it. I haven't really tried to eat real breakfast since this fill. I am going to buy some oatmeal this weekend to see if I can get that down. I know yogurt doesn't have enough protein. I am losing more hair, so I know that I am not getting enough protein in. I tried to buy some protein powder (muscle milk), but I accidently bought chocolate peanut butter. I don't know if muscle milk just has an after taste or if it is the fake peanut butter, but is was gross. I am going to have to find something to supplement not eating breakfast.

Ok, you two have great husbands. I can only hope that when DH grows up, that he is as sweet as your DHs are. I am jealous!

I sincerely hope not. I have already given birth to the minature version of DH. I don't know if I could take it if DS started acting anything like MIL. I shudder at the thought. You take that back. ***said with hands on what passes as my hips***

No offense taken Beth. I knew what you meant.

She hung up on him after telling him that she didn't need our hamburger helper. DH was incredulous that she actually called asking to "borrow" food. I guess he didn't think of the butter from the other day as food. The more he talked, the more upset he got. I don't know if I mentioned this the other day, but BIL came over to open cans (since she was too lazy to go and buy a can opener). I had DH's dinner sitting on the counter. BIL helped himself to DH's dinner while in the kitchen opening his cans. DH was fuming. Well, after talking to MIL, he started fuming about that all over again. It was a sight to behold. He was furious with her. He even threatened to block her phone calls. I doubt he would actually do it, but he was upset to the point of doing it last night.

But you forgot, she is His special chosen one.:thumbup:

That is awesome G4E! It is funny that you mentioned that because I was wondering this morning how much more weight I will have to lose to actually be able to see them. luluc-we are about the same height, how much did you lose before you could see your collar bones? MIL update-DH had it out with MIL last night. She called asking to "borrow" a box of hamburger helper. He told her that this was crazy. He told her that he found it funny that when she lived with her sister (in the same city), she not only couldn't be bothered with calling us, but she couldn't be bothered with her only grandson, but NOW she wants to call to borrow food? WTF? He said that people don't f*cking borrow food! I have to give DH props for standing up to the crazy MIL.

I am noticing more restriction in the mornings and evenings. I can eat a decent lunch. I can eat a somewhat decent dinner, but if I try to snack... Let's just say that I have gotten a little friendlier with the toilet the last week. I am not hungry for breakfast. By about 9 I am ready for a snack so I have yogurt. Then I eat lunch at about 11. I have dinner by about 5. I tried to have a snack last night at about 8 and didn't even get the first bite down. Does that sound about right to you? Or do you think I might be a little too tight?

I am sorry too. I don't understand why that keeps happening to you. I hope you are better now.

No words, just hugs. (((((((green)))))))

***running off to BL thread to read...

Ok, so obviously I have missed something since I have been having major troubles getting on here from home. What is the BL thread? Where can I find it to read all of you meanies?

Morning! Snow again? When do you all stop having snow? Or should the question be, do you ever stop having snow?

DS was like that except he won't eat peanut butter. Now he is the human vacuum. He inhales it all (I often ask if he even bothered to chew:huh2:). He will eat anything once (except if he knows it has cheese). He isn't even 12 yet, so I am scared of my grocery bills for the next few years. :thumbup:

Truthfully, if I only had to cook for myself, I would probably cook everyday. I can't experiment on my family the way that I would for just me. You could go wild with recipes just cooking for yourself. You should try it.

I try not to buy the ones with pasta or rice in them. That pretty much cuts what I will buy in half. My doctor does say protein first, but he doesn't really say low or no carb. I have been eating some carbs (I'm sure that is why my weight isn't going away as fast as I would like), but trying to not have an all out carb fest (like I would have before banding).

I will follow a recipe the first time. After that, I will change it based on my family's reaction, or if I thought it was missing something. I have a bad habit of combining recipes, sometimes with pretty good results.

I did that this week with Lean Cuisine for lunch. That is what got me to thinking about Nutrasystem. I might just stick with this for a while and see how it goes.

Recipe please!?!?!?!?!:wink2:

I am pretty much looking for assistance with the prepackaged food. I have been eating pretty much what I want, but I know that my weight loss is not as good as it could be if I ate differently. I don't always eat what they (my family) eat, but it would help me if I had another (easy) option available if I can't think of something to eat. I have eaten so much baked fish and baked chicken that I am SICK of them.

I have a question. Have any of you tried Nutrisystem since banding so that you don't have to think of something to eat everyday? I am thinking about something like that because I am out of ideas of food to eat.

Is your DH my DH's long lost twin or something? LOL

Way to go! That is awesome!

That's exactly the response he is looking for.:tt1:
