I've gained too. I'm not moving mine either. I refuse.

We'll do better next week.

I need some advice from experienced bandsters. Since my fill last week, I finally have restriction. YAY!!! But the problem is, I'm having a tough time eating enough at one time to stay full for more than a few hours. I'm finding myself craving soft foods because I'm hungry and want some food in my body.

 

Is it better to just go ahead and eat something small every few hours? Or should I try to force myself to eat enough at each meal to fill me up? I had the insides of 4 pieces of sushi for lunch, then was starving later and tried to eat an apple a few hours later and PB'd. I couldn't bear the thought of trying to eat real food for dinner, so I ate cottage cheese, but now I'm starting to feel hungry again. ARGH!!!

Hi everyone!! I know I have been MIA for the last few weeks! I was in North Carolina and then came down with a horrible cold the day I flew back. It has taken over a week to go away. I had a great time in NC and at the Marine Corp Ball-I will post pics when I download them off my camera-I felt so bad all week I didn't even want to do that!:grouphug:

I just wanted to say hi to everyone! I miss you guys and I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! I know I feel very blessed to have all you wonderful ladies in my life! :grouphug:

Sweet Mini,

It's okay and perfectly fine to eat frequenty very small meals! Actually, for you it would be preferable. The frequent smaller meals will stoke your metabolism and keep your blood sugar at an even level.

Try it. There is nothing wrong with grazing on small amounts every 2 hours. Are you able to stay satiated at least 2 hours? Are you getting stuck? OR PB'g?

I can't remember what I weighed last week, but I know I am 8lbs down from the beginning of the challenge. I remember my initial weight. I'm out of town and my weigh calendar is at home!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone here!!!

I am thankful for my band, thankful for my bandito peeps and thankful for my better health!!

I second that!! :grouphug:

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

[jmegirl 2]

I don't know how I did it, haha. After gaining 2lbs over the last 3 days, this morning I managed to get right back down to where I was last Thursday. I hate my body right now!!!! UGH! :grouphug:

So, for the weigh-in I'm even stevens AGAIN. *sigh* I wonder if I'll lose any weight during this challenge??? :grouphug:

I think you sound too tight. Insides of 4 pieces of sushi is barely anything... & PB'ing on an apple. Just be careful! You need to get nutrition in. Make sure you are getting your Protein in!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY everyone! Gobble Gobble! I cooked for the first time for a large group. It turned out wonderful!! I made green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce from scratch, stuffing, rolls, gravy, turkey... yadda yadda... it was delish! I was able to eat enough to satisfy and not feel too restricted, but I was restricted enough that I couldn't finish round one! And dessert was about 3-4 bites of pie and I was done done done.

I also weighed in this morning and I am down another 4 pounds. YEAH! So I am almost back to where I was pre-gallbladder surgery. I think my plateau may finally be gone. *crossing fingers*

I still have restriction. Some things give me a hard time while others are too easy. I think I could go for just a scootch more but am happy to have any!

Happy Thanksgiving all! I hope you all enjoyed your day.

For the challenge, I have not lost anything this week but I am glad I didn't gain either. Congrats to all the losers this week.

Hello all my lovelies, and happy Thanksgiving!!! Congrats to all the losers this week, and sympathies for those of us who didn't have so much success (I gained .30, oh well).

Munchie, I'm so glad you're back! I had started to think you'd run off with a Marine!

Dorky, your T-giving sounds great! Isn't it a fun meal to cook? I LOVE making Thanksgiving. It's the best. And I was even able to eat and enjoy! I just took it REALLY slow and chewed chewed chewed and it was great. Right now I'm having a small piece of sugar free crustless pumpkin pie. Yummy.
