Road to "TWOterville"

Julie, you are so right, I need to not get on the scale. It is too late for this morning, but I am gonna lay off the scale till September 1st. I think my restriction is close to perfect, I am almost never hungry at all but I can eat good healthy food without pb'ing (just need to be cautious with chicken). I am gonna work my fill and stay off the scale and just live life this month, carefree of peoples expectations. And I will check in here on LBT to encourage others :)

OOh and on a fun note I put in extensions for the Rennesiance (sp) Fair. My hair went from short and sassy to half way down my back! I wouldn't want to keep it, it's just not me, but it will be fun to have period hair to go with my ren. clothes :)

Oh My Goodness, where is everyone? I know a lot of you moved into twoterville, but surely I'm not the last one here in tri cities. :omg:

It will be at least Sept 1 before I join you as I won't be weighing myself this month :huggie: Almost asked hubby for the scale back but I didn't.

I'm here!! I've been wondering what happened to the team too!

So, how's it going for you? I'm proud of you for giving up the scale for awhile. It is the hardest habit to break! My doc made me promise I wouldn't check and I didn't for the longest time, but now I can't stop checking each morning and it's driving me crazy. I think I need some of your willpower!!

Wahoo! Noticed yesterday morning that I have an extra 3-4 inches between my belly and the steering wheel :(

And LapBandit, it isn't willpower it's my husbands willingness to hide it, lol

I use my steering wheel as a measurement too! I'm kinda too far back in my seat now but I don't want to adjust it because I LOVE the feeling!!!Congrats and happy driving!!

I asked my hubby where the scale was today and he said he didn't remember. When i asked if he was lying to me he said yes, lol. He will not give in, yay :Banane27: So I pulled out the tape measure instead and since I last measured I've lost 2 more inches off of my waist and hips :lol:

Uggh, I hope so, went to the fair today and had kettle corn and a scoop of ice cream. But we had a lot of fun and did a lot of walking, so maybe i didn't do to much damage, but we have to live a little too :(

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. Congratulations all you new Twoterville citizens!!!

I had seemed to get stuck at 297 for the longest time and kept gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. Very frustrating and too close to the border for my comfort! Grrr!

But this week the scale seems to be cooperating again. Yipee! It is strange--My first fill was 3 weeks ago and just now seems to be really kicking in. Anyone else experience this sudden improvement in restriction? Maybe it is all in my head, but it is working, so I am happy! :(

Molly, I'm sure it's fine. You're right...a little splurge on special occasions keeps you feeling positive about your life. I don't think its realistic to be a perfect angel for the rest of our lives!

Welcome back Marcy! Congrats. Yeah, with this heat I really had bizarre restriction. One day I felt tight and the next wide open. It's weird, I really didn't expect the weather to affect it so much. But, when the air temp is over 100 degrees I guess your whole body reacts to it!

      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.
