Thanks Libra, it still has not registered to me either:heh:When people in my life ask how much I have lost sometimes I'm embarrassed to tell them 191 lbs because that's alot of weight and I STILL have about 60 lbs to go:faint:But hey, the hard part is over with, I hope and pray. They say sometimes the last 25 lbs or so is the hardest to lose:phanvan

Christine, I hope you feel better soon!

Libra, I agree we need something to help with motivation (or at least I do happy.gif )

Though the scale does keep moving, slowly. Next week I'll be banded, so that should help!

Hi, I'm still here...late check-in.

Congratulations to all that are doing well. I'm in the midst of a rock and a hard place. Vacation, Birthdays, and PMS...but I have to look at the bright side. I still lost a pound. Two down, and one more birthday to get through...MINE...and then the cruise to the Bahamas over the 4th. I can do this...

Hi everyone :) Grats to all of you who are doing so well! I don't even know where to begin with individual notes so I am just lumping it all together.

I am struggling with motivation big time. I just keep floating into old habits of junk food and sadly that stuff just goes right thru. I have good restriction, I can't eat very much real food, the trick is choosing the real food over the chips and candy ;) Most of the junk is now out of our house thank goodness now to resist buying more of it. My weight just keeps fluctuating between the same 5lbs, normal Water fluctuations. Work is good but has me tired as I am not used to working again yet. I will try to check in more often as you guys help me stay at least close to the band-wagon if not on it ;)

Happy Friday :(

Molly, hang in there. I'm sure you'll get through it. I've been struggling with making the right food choices too. Life has been pretty hectic for me lately and it's easier to grab some chips than to eat something healthy. We need to refocus...I'm sure we can do it.

BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!!!

Thanks Angela ;)

I wonder if we are having these issues with junk food because we are just tired of the diet mentality after a whol eyear of it and needed a vacation from it? Well I've had my vacation now I need to get back to eating healthy. I have been in my temp job at the fire station for 2 weeks now and I really like it. Next week I am going to be hitting the gym on my way home from work each day! I aplpied for the position permamnently and I really hope I get it, that right there would alleviate a lot of my stress to have that regular income and structure to my day. Well if I don't get this job I am sure to get another :) Have a gret weekend everyone!

I popped in here months ago, but Twoterville was so far away back then. Now it's getting closer! Only more pounds to go!!

Hey, those of you who are low-carbing, do you have any suggestions for meals? I am so bored of the same food all the time.

Good for you derbygirl! We'll be waiting for you in Twoterville!!! I have some good seafood recipes but I have a terrible cold and can't concentrate at the moment. I'll share them as soon as I'm feeling better.

Good luck with the job Molly!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
