You are so right about having to keep ourselves on track. I had my band put in on the 12th. I had some really good mashed sweet potato and kind of made a ham smoothie with my magic bullet. I didn't grind it up too well though. I was really mindful to chew and had no problems.

Thats is awesome that you are down 40! I've been on the protein drinks all month I like the Jillian Michaels one you can get at Walmart. It only has 100 cals and about 20g of protein and its cheap.

I have lost about 30 pounds since the beginning of the month. Start weight was 351 and now I'm 322. Sounds like good progress but I still want more and I'm terrified that I will fall off track and fail at this. I too have those around me who how much of a mental journey this is and I think some even want me to fail. Good thing I'm stubborn, I have some good inner strength, good friends, family and, God pulling for me.

Thanks so much for sharing with me. Really helps to make it real for me if that makes sense.
