Audree, what is the brand of the chicken meatballs? I go to Sams all the time. But I am in Texas. We may not have the same suppliers down here that you do.

They really sound good.

I threw the package away! Sorry!! They are in a little package and precooked. You may want to ask someone at Sams.

Okay guys, I don't feel like exercising today. But I have no excuse other than I don't feel like it. If anyone feels like giving me some encouragement/kick in the pants, please feel free.

I feel the same way!!! Kick my butt and I'll kick yours!

Alright, I had Aunt Martha come visit me today so I always give myself a day off on the first day. It is hard enough to get through the day so I just took a chill today. So no exercise.

BUT I can tell you that yesterday I only ate 1547 calories and today I only ate 1596 calories! Yay me! I am thrilled because I wasn't hungry at all today.

Audree,

The Protein in the morning and eating soft stuff has really helped me the last couple of days. I am not full out South Beach but I really think the morning routine is keeping me on track.

I am just shocked that I only ate 1600 calories the last 2 days. Without trying. huh, go figure.

Hey Audree did you make it to the gym? Or walking or anything?

I didn't. I walked the dogs for 15 minutes but that's it.

YEAHHH!!! You are doing great!!!! Those calories are coming down!!!:clap2:

I think aunt Martha is coming to visit us all at the same time. How funny! I am still waiting for her and hope she doesn't interfere with my Friday weigh in. I used to always retain crazy Water. I almost don't want to weigh in till she has arrived!

Hey 15 minutes still counts!!! I did a workout video for 1/2 hour and felt every minute of it. I feel like crap!!! But I usually feel like this pre aunt flo's visit.

Hey Audree,

I was thinking the same thing... I knew she was due this week and I had decided if she wasn't here by tomorrow I wasn't weighing in on Friday.

I woke up today and I had gained 3 lbs overnight... Plus I was in a terrible mood this morning, very depressed and woe is me. Last night, I cried when I watched American Idol. I should have known.

I think I will still weigh in but if I don't like it, I will take it as an unofficial weight!! Then I guess I will weigh in a few days later.

I have been really easier irritated. I hate being like that, because I am really easy going.

Audree, how do you count your calories? There are some foods that I eat that don't have the calorie count on the package. I don't know how to tell cheese

because it would make a difference how thick it's sliced, etc. There are a lot of foods that I can't tell if I am counting right.

Denise,

It might seem like a pain in the rear but I use a food scale. After a while you get better about eyballing your food... but a food scale really helps. I also measure my food so I know how much I am eating. I don't limit my food based on measuring (because I am in anti-diet mode) but at least I am in reality about how much I am eating....

Well I can say that being restricted during PMS is possibly the weirdest thing I have ever experienced. Instead of eating everything in sight that didn't try to eat me, I was just not hungry. I ate about 500-700 calories less than what my average has been. Yesterday I was back at my 2000 calories again.

I am going to be filled in 2 weeks so hopefully that will provide enough restriction to get me down to 1500-1800 calories a day.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
