Marchies in July

[carol1951 0]

A new grandson! Congratulations momlambert. Kinda makes me weepy. I have a 10 yr old and my "baby" is 5. Sometimes when I see an infant I do get the baby blues for another. But then reality sets in, getting too old, husband was fixed, and I realize things are just great with the two I have.

I'm officially very dissappointed with myself.

I cannot stop eating!

I'm going to ask for a fill on Monday. My weight has been crazy since my last appointment in June. Lost 2 lbs....gain 1 lb..gain .5...lose 2 lbs...and on and on! As of today I have gained 2.5 lbs since June 4th.

I guess I'm ashamed to see the Dr. The money and time I've spent on this LB and I feel as if I've already failed.

Yes, I'm down 30 lbs total and 3 pants sizes but I don't feel like I have my eating under control. And I still have 35 to go.

Today I'm going to following the 10 band rules and get my head screwed on straight!

Mary do beat yourself up. I think it natural to have peroid where you just don't want to do it. The trick is getting back on the band wagon. I seem to only lose when I'm on the liquid part of my diet. Start by counting your calories. It really makes aware of what we are doing. Just hang in there. This to shall pass

You will get off the plateau and you will once again start losing!!!!

Okay, okay.....I'll get my big a$$ in gear! I've been tracking my food and activities on fitday and boy have I been packing in the calories.

A bite here and a bite there adds up I have not, however, eaten over 2000 per day and I wanna keep it that way.

So far today.....267 calories & 25 Protein.

Gonna be good at lunch!

Thanks for the support gals!

Mary-

You have got to be so frustrated! Don't worry about time and money and don't be ashamed. The investment into your future health is worth every penny, every minute.

Like a stock investment, you might be on a downturn, but stick it out and it will go up again and you'll see results.

I've seen before where you say snacking is what gets you. I'm a huge snacker too. What I did to try to curb it was plan my day on a piece of paper. Like Breakfast at 8, snack at 10, lunch at 11:30, snack at 2, dinner at 5:30, snack at 7.

I don't write down what I am going to eat, but at 9 when I want to snack it helps me to think I just ate an hour ago and I only need to hold out for another hour. I does cause me to go, I shouldn't be hungry. I'm not hungry. Drink some tea or Water.

HTH- and go to that Doctor and share your struggles with him, don't be embarassed. He is there to help you, not judge.

Hey Juli,

Thank goodness liquor goes down easy!!!! Ha Ha!

[OH Juli 15]

Why am I not surprised that you're a lush?

Really I hate that drinking is still so easy to do. Give me a drink and I start looking for sugar. All of my HORRIBLE days since being banded combined the two!

nurseamy...you look FAB-U-lous

i just remembered why i stopped posting on this thread (marchies) back in april/may....i feel like i'm talking to myself.

it would be nice if people responded to posts. to be honest...the april surgery people have a model thread of everyone interacting with each other....

anyway just thought i'd put this out there because i used to eat over this stuff....

but no more

You're post really touched me. Thank you for saying that.

I know that very often I just read and don't post.

I also sometimes don't check in for days and by the time I read from the last time I have so many things to say I can't remember who I wanted to reply to.

I'll try to be better.

Remind me not to eat Peanut Butter and crackers. By band didn't like them. I have a growing list of things the band doesn't like. bread, muffins, chicken, and peanut butter and crackers. Of course all the bad things still go down really good.

Hope everyone has a good Friday. Be strong and Be faithful to the band

I don't know the band rules...sorry I may be a teacher...but I am not a rule follower! I SUCH A REBEL HE HE!

[jmarruda 22]

I don't know all ten of them, but I know they include not eating and drinking at the same time, not drinking 30 minutes prior to a meal or 30 minutes after a meal, eating only solid foods, chewing thoroughly, no high calorie liquids, etc...

[jmarruda 22]

carol1951, did you eat a lot of pb on the crackers or did you spread it thin? I noticed that when I globbed it on (I know I shouldn't do that) I had a harder time with it then when I just spreaded it on thinly...
