Isn't it amazing, the damage and strain we have put on our bodies all those years. I have lost the equivalent of my five year old twins! I feel great! I still have a ways to go, but I love life now. I feel good about the way I look in clothes (for the most part). I have energy.

Down .5 this mornng!

Melissa,

I did'nt see Good Morning, but that is a good way to look at loosing 10 lbs. I remember when I used to go to Weight Watchers and only loose one pound. They would tell you to take a look at 4 sticks of butter, and see how much a pound looks like.

Has anyone else lost a shoe size? I never knew just how fat my feet were. All of my shoes are very loose, and not very uncomfortable. How funny is that? Dont you just hate it when you have to buy new shoes? (LOL)

What do you all eat for Breakfast? Has anyone tried Fiber One bars. The chocolate ones are great! The are like 2 or 3 points on Weight Watchers. Yummy! That is a hard meal for me. I am trying to stay away from Protein Shakes. I usually have 1/2 an egg and 1/2 a piece of toast. Sometimes that is hard to get down. After about five bites of any solid food, I am done.

I have tried the Fiber One bars, I like the oats & Peanut Butter. It is chewey and good, and very filling. Has 150 cal and 3 grams of Protein. I have not tried the chocolate, but will give them a try now. I just am not very hungery in the morning. I usually have some hot tea and do not feel like eating anything until almost 9 am. I know they say you are supposed to eat early in the morning, but I just have a hard time with it. I have not used shakes that much, but thinking maybe I should try them first thing in the morning and maybe that would help.

Hello All,

Sandra....I hope the round the clock morning sickness goes away soon! My husband used to call me the mad puker! Anywhere, anytime of the day. . LOL

Twinmommy, I usually have a Protein Bar for Breakfast. I love the Pure Protein. They have 190 calories and 20 grams of protein and they do not taste like cardboard. If you like dark chocolate, you will like the chocolate ones but I prefer the Peanut Butter ones. My other choice is an egg beater for breakfast but it does not always stay down!

Laura, My shoes are all too big too!

Sue....I had my gallbladder out before surgery, never had an problem but the doc said I would so out it came....wish I was getting the cheap TT!!!! Hope you feel better.

How are Mini and Manatee doing????? Hope all is wel

I love Fiber 1 bars, I have the chocolate and the peanutbutter, I love them both, they are chewy and yummy!

I have a protien drink for Breakfast. I think they are well worth the 130 calories. It's not easy to eat in the AM and I find if I don't eat my metabolism goes dead and I have the munchies all day long. Breakfast is really important to get your body going, for me, the shakes are the easiest way to go.

I LOVE Fiber one bars... esp. the caramel and oats one.... however... it does not love me back.... I ate my last one yesterday for Breakfast and the gas was awful about 4-6 hours later.... so bad that I thought my insides were twisted!!

So I'll go back to my normal breakfast... yogurt or fruit.

I scheduled a fill for next week... I feel I can eat way more than I should...

OK.. now I'm sobbing.

I'm so pissed and frustrated and I feel like I'm failing. I'm eating right and working out and nothing... I just want to be at a normal weight.. I've been fighting it my whole life and have failed every time... I feel like I'm failing again.

I was so upset I couldnt even work out this morning.. I stayed at the gym for 10 minutes and just left.

MelissaS-

If your muscles are sore, your body will retain Water to protect them. Just keep it up and it will show on the scale sooner or later. Also, if you are building muscle that weighs more also. Try and stay off the scale for a week. I went through the same thing when I got my trainer at first. You are not failing. You have lost 60+ lbs. in less than a year! Look how cute your pictures are! When is the last time you felt that good about a picture of yourself that you saw???

Thanks Twinmommy...

I know I need to stay away from the scale... and it sounds odd...but in the pics, I still see the fat girl with the 60lbs.

You should read the "life at goal" forum, it's not odd at all.

      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?
