ValleyGirlRN 32 Posted July 29, 2012 Everytime I step on the scale and see a lower number, I have that moment...lol...I personally enjoy thefreedom from food...I truly eat to live now, instead of having food be the center of my world!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slojo67 125 Posted July 29, 2012 I love my band ,(gertrude), but she's in Mexico right now, we will be united on August 28th! I can hardly wait to get started on my wt. loss journey. Time is going by slow for me while waiting... I leave out on August 27th for San Diego, and will be banded the next day. I will love my band & try to take good care of it. 2 LBSept09 and JennyBee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JennyBee...lol... youre funny. no .. i havent done that but im deeply appreciative just the same. im really impressed by the minimal weight gain you had on your cruise. can you give me some tips? im cruising with our young grand daughter...aged 15. she doesnt know im banded and i dont want to tell her either... so what did you do to keep the weight gain to a minimum? did you have a slight unfill before you went?

Jim1967 3,569 Posted July 30, 2012 For me I appreciate it most when I feel like I've lost some weight even though I didn't step on a scale to confirm. Kind of like that empty feeling in your stomach but not like hunger. Not sure if that makes sense. 3 Kristen1969, soon2bskinechick and Mrs. CMK reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JennyBee 340 Posted July 30, 2012 Jim... Yes I know EXACTLY what you mean! Judy... For Breakfast I would have a veggie omelet w/cheese (maybe 3/4 or so of it) Or coldcuts, cheese, and fruits. lunch was something simple... Maybe a small salad or pita chips with hummus from the pool side buffet. dinner was the best... Whatever they were serving at the sit down dinner that night, (steak,fish,lobster,shrimp) w/baked potato and veggies. They always had a "diet" dessert to choose. Have a great time!!!! 1 slojo67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
