Ditto!! Best wished Dadkins . . .you hit the nail on the head . .this site really helps us stay focused on the things we need to remember.

I'm sorry you've had trouble, but I'm glad you are pulling out of it. Keep moving forward!

WOW, what a journey you have had / are having. Thanks for posting, it's very helpful for those of us "following in your footsteps". It is interesting how our relationship with food changes. And food will always be a part of our life, so we better learn how to work, play and live with food, huh? Best wishes and prayers for continued success!

I had a lot of acid before my band, then nothing after the band until I also had a bout of it. I know it was releated to stress at work . . .are you more stressed right now? If so, try - really try to find some peace time. For me, once that stressful week and 1/2 ended, I have had no more acid problems. Best wishes.

Good for you, melting . . .go get 'em!:thumbup:

Best wishes back at work tomorrow! Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress for sure.

Sounds like you have a good understanding of the plan and you are doing well - good for you and thanks for the encouragement! Best wishes!!

Lots of liquids. And I used Beneprotein in some chicken broth in between meals. The Beneprotein will help fill you up. Sugar free popsicles. And things to keep your mind active too . ...go for a walk . .hang in there!!

I have always love to peruse cookbooks and cooking shows . .. I still do! And yes, I am cooking more too. Amazing.

Size 30 or 32 down to 26? That is fantastic. I think we have to take the accomplishments as they come and enjoy each one. You are doing well - please don't be discouraged. But it is a good idea to talk to your doc if you have questions. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again for posting Blondi, I'm sure it helps to process all that is happening with you AND it IS helpful for all of us too. It is a scary thing to know that something like this can happen so quickly. I AM praying that this is reversible or that your doc has some solution for you. You know you have the support of your buddies here . . .keep the faith.

Think of October 19th as the first day of the rest of your life! Praying all goes well and be sure to keep us posted!

Welcome aboard, ladybug and congratulations. grigg is right . . .walk, walk, walk; small sips; GASX can be helpful; and follow your doc's instructions as it sounds like you are doing. Keep us posted!

FANTASTIC! Way to spread the inspiration around . . we all need the reminder to not get too hooked on the scales. Thanks and best wishes.

You sound like you feel exactly as I did at one week. And increasing the protein is good. Also try to increase activity - even though you're tired and it's hard to do. You'll be glad when you go back to work that you did. Besides that, still give yourself time to rest and heal. Best wishes!!

I hope that all goes well for you .. . .prayers and best wishes.

You are right . . .if the fluctuations upset you - don't do it! Sounds like you are doing well . . just keep doing what you know you are supposed to do and it will happen. Best wishes.

That green shirt is really starting to "bag" on you - how great is that? :-) Thanks for sharing .. I always look forward to your posts.
