chicasmom 10 Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks Terri It's only been a week since my fill and I followed my liquids and mushies instructions pretty close and have made a real effort to use the Protein Drinks and pay attention to the drinking while eating. I'm not perfect on that part by any means but I've got myself down to tiny sips. I'm sure it's mostly Water weight but this week so far it's been 4 lbs gone. I use a toddler fork and spoon to help better gauge myself now that I'm onto other foods again. Im not very good with chopsticks but I'm going to break them out again this weekend. I find it makes me really work for it and slows me down a whole lot. When I first tried it I was eating cut up skinless hot dog bites (cut in fourths) and baked Beans. I would get a single baked bean at a time on my chopstick. Lol. Needless to say, i didn't eat very many but I felt like I sure was lol. Hope y'all have a great weekend. It's so humid!!

ducker2010 17 Posted April 6, 2012 DFW banders! I read a book recently called 703: How I lost over 500 pounds and changed my life. It's written by a lady named Nancy Makin. She weighed over 700 pounds and lost over 500 of it. She DID NOT have any surgery of any kind. She did it all on her own. I have to say the book was captivating. It was one of those books I read in one read. Couldn't put it down. So you're asking what the point is. The point is that now she's a motivational speaker and she's coming to Waco to speak and do a book signing sometime in the near future. I do not know her personally but do know a friend of hers that she does a talk show with. I am not getting anything out of this. I just read the book and was totally inspired by her. If anyone is interested in a good read I picked up her book on Amazon for two dollars used. And if ya'll would be interested in coming to hear her speak let me know. I'll post the info! Hope I'm not overstepping... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
