    In sorrow I believe in hope. In tears - beauty.

    Your story was heartwarming, and you have amazing strength and sense of self. Thank you for your post, be strong and blessed.

    Weekends on PreOp diet

    I hope things worked out ok for you! Weekends are harder for me too -- closer to food than during the week. I'm getting over it!

    Just starting

    Best of luck, and congratulations on getting started! The time will fly by.............

    Wheeeee!!

    Yeah!!! You are doing fantastic! I wish you lived by me; I'd sell you my elliptical (I have to go to the gym or I don't pay attention). It sounds like you are creating a great workout room and routine and are feeling good. Congrats and keep up the good work...........

    discouraged

    First, hang in there. There are good days and bad days, and sometimes they turn into weeks. I'd try to journal your eating and see if you (like Rosie) might be eating more than you think you are? Get in the water, and try to exercise 3 x a week (30 minutes each). This is from my psych who heads up our emotional eating group. There were two attendees in the same place you are. And by the way, at one time or another (or two or six or ten times), we are all where you are! Keep going! It will change.

    Finally got an understanding of what the next steps are!!

    You are doing great, and congratulations on getting that plan! Its nice to be able to have (this was work today lol) SMART goals -- measurable, achievable..... Best wishes to you as you continue on your way!

    Almost, but not quite

    I'm sorry your back hurts, but wtg on pushing through that and working out! You have incredible motivation and a great supporter in your hubby :-). You have done fantastically well and maintained a positive, helpful, upbeat demeanor the whole way through. Thank you for your posts, and support!
  9. I hope you are holding on until the 19th! Keep your goal in mind and be strong. At night, when I'm hungry I just go to bed lol. I refuse to go downstairs after I've been in bed -- thus no eating after 8pm. Wierd but works! Take care of you!

  10. Hi Hi :-). I kept the appointment; didn't get a fill but got some great advice about how I eat. I lost 6 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks and I'm good with that given my lack of exercise. I hope you are doing good, and have a great weekend.

    Moving Along!!!

    I'm glad things are moving well for you, and prayers to you and your family. Things moved very quickly for me also -- from insurance approval to surgery was less than 6 weeks. But the stars were aligned -- here's hoping they are for you as well!

    Routine

    Fantastic! Yes, its nice to get into a routine, isn't it! I'm glad you feel well and are doing so well at making adjustments! Congratulations.......
  13. Occasionally I can feel the food pass through and hear it also. But this is typically when I'm eating something without chewing adequately or waiting between bites, or forgetting and taking a sip of Water with the bite/after the bite. Incentive NOT to eat during a meeting, for sure!

    Day 10 of 27

    I'm sorry Leigha. I vote 1000 calories for puking in the bushes though! You have done so great and come so far, try not to beat yourself up. I'm with you on the stress thing. I used to eat when I got stressed out, and now it seems to fill me up without any warning. Feel better/cooler/relaxed. Tomorrow will be a better day.

    Tomorrow

    Well I missed wishing you good luck, but you really don't need it -- you made a great decision that will positively impact your life and health forever! Keep us posted.

    Looking for May Bandsters

    You are doing fantastic! But I know its hard when you exercise so hard..... I was banded 5/26 and have 7.25cc in a 10cc band and another fill scheduled for today. I have some restriction, especially if I don't chew well or eat too fast, but I can definitely eat more than 1c at a time and I am hungry every 2 1/2 - 3 hours (I think its hunger; I'm working on that). My weight loss has slowed down significantly in the last month. But I attribute that to less exercise (lost motivation). I was working out 60-90 minutes a day 5-6 days a week. Now? kind of nothing. (A little here and there but can't even log it). I'd love to get less hungry less often and I'm hoping this fill is the charm. This is fill #3. Good luck to you.

    August Progress

    You are doing fantastic! Yeah for size 14! I love that! To me, its as good (or better) than the scale?! Keep up the great work.....
  19. Happy Friday! I was thinking about the walking challenge you have. 1) Wear headphones and listen to music? You will be thinking about that instead of walking by someone. 2) I can meet you on the way home like next Monday and we can walk it together? If we are talking it will be easier?? Just thoughts, email me if you want to try that. Either way, have a great weekend :-).
