if only people would (just do it) and not over think it......its not a diet.

change what you eat..let the control the amount..exercise and last but not least....BELIEVE in yourself.....

sure our past (dieting) failures had us lose faith in ourselves.....but TRY

one more time......that is what i did.....

i tried one more time......i had the lap band to help me and give me some

balls to spur me on......

if i would have hemmed/hawed and why me and why this......i would not be where i am now....

YOU CAN

you COULD
if you

truly WANT

Back away from the Christmas cookies!!! Eat one, then stay away, they are addictive and dangerous! Have a drink of something low calorie instead.

Thanks CG, you always post the greatest uplifting advice!!Karen..aka..kll724

This is SUCH a great reminder, and BELEIVING in yourself is a huge part of being successful!!! I always see people say "you have to want it", and while that's true, you can 'want' it all you want, but you have to BELIEVE you actually can!!!

Such a great post! Just the motivation I need to get through the end-of-year craziness at work. Normally I would have Christmas goodies stacked on my desk and eat my way through the mayhem. Not this year :) This year I'm thinking of joining the new boxing club across the street from work...much better way of working out my stresses :)

Have a great day!

      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.
