BTW. I walked 2 miles yesterday, and 3 today. Calories around 1000 each day. I'm getting back on track! I just need to be more careful about WHERE the calories come from. Haha. I need to focus on Protein and such.

Weather is supposed to get chilly and stormy here next day or so, so probably no more walking until the March for Babies on Sunday morning.

Did I mention that Friday night I'm taking my almost 12 year old niece to see Colbie Calliat? Ever hear of her? Kind of a bubbly teeny pop love song singer type. My niece loves her. We'll have a good time! And I'll have her all day Saturday, until whenever I decide to take her home... What should we do? I need to think of something fun. I never get to spend any time with just her... usually have her and her brother and sister all at the same time. Lol.

I have two ideas...do you have a botanical gardens near you? Also, we have these shops in the mall and such where you can go and pick a piece of greenware (unglazed, unfired ceramic) and create your own masterpiece. It's really fun! And you can create something for her and she for you! To remember your special day with just you two and no icky boys! LOL They actually have birthday parties and stuff there like at pizza places or laser tag places, but more original!

hey family:

I haven't posted in a while, but I read everyday.

Suzzzie--I love Stef's idea. I've never heard of a place like that.if she's a girly girl then go and get pedicures or manicures (no fake nails--just the massaging and polish) she'll love being pampered before the concert.

If there is a Main Event near you---that place is GREAT--bowling alley, laser tag, arcade, etc.

I broke down and invested in a personal trainer. I signed up for 10 sessions. I will do 2 a week. I like the trainer. Just talking to him, he seems knowledable about the body. We will start Monday.

I spoke too soon, and now I hate being unfilled.

Don't wanna talk about it, but my weight is climbing.

stef...don't be discouraged...STOP WEIGHING....

Here's a suggestion---Tell yourself that you have a full band and continue eating and working out as if you did. When you're hungry chew gum or drink a big glass of Water. I know it's easier said that done.....If I remember correctly, the 15th is when you go back for review. If so, 1 day down and 14 to go...YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Challenge yourself to not gain more than xx amount of lbs.

Stef, I am gaining with my unfill too. I swear my face looks a bit fatter. I feel really huge. Of course I haven't helped the situation and have been inhaling cals so I only have myself to blame. I am going for a fill on Tues PHEW!

stef enjoy your ride this weekend for MS. I walked last week for MS with at Team of folks. I wish I could give again, sorry. We not only did the walk but the Team had two bake sales and a "flip flop" day at work. you pay $5 to be allowed to wear them for one day. It was fun. Just think all those biking miles will jump start your weight loss!!

suzzie enjoy your walk, I hope the weather is good. My DH and I have been walking at night with the dogs. I move ahead and walk fast some trotting, the dogs love it. My weight still hanging at 191. I just am so frustrated too! I think I to need to look at where my calories are coming from! Enjoy your time with your neice, that is great. the idea of pottery is good, shopping is always fun too, those crazy stores like build a bear and I am trying to think the one that is all pink and has Hanna Montana in it? My DH one daughter is 12. She loves HM.

bb let me know how hte trainer goes?

      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.
