Thanks for all the one year hoorahs! I STILL have not taken a picture!!! I will try to do it today! I hoped that I would be down a lot more, but I SWEAR I must be the plataeu QUEEN!...and this is why....I couldn't even make it past day two on the PB diet! Last night I got home soooo late, didn't eat dinner, so when I got home, I was soooo hungry~I ate half an Italian hoagie and chips!! There went the PB diet!! I did well before that....but I am still a failure!

Your not a failure Mal!! No matter what, this is still hard! Easier? A tad because we have a tool, but the tool is not in our heads so that is why it is difficult.

I struggle every day on making the right food choices, I screw up ALOT!! I think for me losing has been the exercise, not so much eating.

Please don't call yourself a failure, this is a process, and we just "keep swimming" (FINDING NEMO!).

Dear Ms. Mal!

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!

:)

don't make me come over there and place you in the Naughty Chair!

You didn't totally mess up, you left the track for a meal. One meal! You can get back on track today or even tonight!

Don't give up!:sneaky:

AND remember you can drink your Protein Drinks if you're hungry between your meals... you shouldn't be hungry. But I totally understand the coming home late and being starved!:sleep:

It makes sense! BECAUSE Brandy is right, you got the tool around your stomach not your brain!:eek:

Hang in there Lady!

Love,

dee~

It's okay, I know I am a failure!

I have become so stubborn with my eating. If I want it, I'll eat it...there is no will power, no discipline now...I have temporarily lost it, I'll get it back, but for now...GONE!:tongue:

I purposely drank a P shake before I left for this lecture, I knew that I would be home late. I didn't expect my hubby and boys to eat out at a pizza place and bring left overs home (evil people:cursing:). when I got home the hoagie was the fastest thing to grab and eat, not to mention it was 10:00!! YIKES! AND, I also ate a cupcake yesterday, how could I say no to a super sweet 6 year olds birthday?? AND I also admit to an ice cream cone. There it is, all out! I am heading to the gym and I am going to work my butt off (or part of it, the part that I gained yesterday).

I will go to the naughty chair, heck, I might aswell duct tape it to my a**!! :lol:

Has anyone heard when the "brain" band is coming out? I would like to put my name on the waiting list..:rolleyes:

Mal,

Could we test that Brain Band on your first?

Let's give Dr. K's office a call and see if he'll be

up to the task.

Think of all the people who will be in line! You go first

and I'll be second!

There are some things, I absolutely love... pizza is one of them!:tongue: I'd marry a big double cheese pizza if I could -- but knowing me, I'd eat it and the marriage would be over!!

(remember when we were kids and we used to say that? If you love it so much, why don't you just marry it?):rolleyes:

Okay, me first for the BB...I already have a BB Brain!..LOL

I am not a big pizza fan, but they brought home an Italian hoagie AND pizza! I passed up the pizza and had half of the hoagie.

How about this...my neighbor (she is the sweetest lady EVER), she brought over one of those GINORMOUS buckets of ice cream the other day. I don't know where the real Mal is, but before, I could care less about sweets, but now....

...and me and my hubby STILL always say "why don't you just marry it?" We argue over who gets to marry Buster, I just love my Buster...and I WILL marry him (on Tuesday, I always say)

And Mal,

You cannot duct tape your arse to the Naughty Chair, BECAUSE I won't be able to sit on it when I'm naughty -- unless you want me to sit on your lap and break you!

I have a feeling we're going to need a huge Naughty Chair!

Remember the huge rocking chair that Ruth Buzzie (sp?) used to sit on when she was on the Carol Burnett Show pretending to be a little girl!

We need one of those! So all three of us Naughty Banditos can sit on it together!

But what kind of marriage would that be? It wouldn't last long and you'd be in big trouble for consuming your spouse!

      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.
