What the H*LL is wrong with me!

Yes, Tyanna! We can do this!

Sometimes I mentally slap myself and ask: Why did I get the surgery just to ruin it?

I was doing this for me, to lose weight and be happy.

We're doing it! Day 2 almost down. I've never looked so forward to tuna from a can before. I think I'll mix it with cottage cheese, because I'm a mayonaise girl. :thumbup: I never thought 5 days would be so tough, especially after the post surgery diet.

"YES WE CAN!", And Friday, we can sing "YES WE DID".

I weighted myself today at the wellness center and I have already lost 1 1/2 pounds. Right now, I'm sitting here watching "The Biggest Loser" and saying to myself, I really don't want that cookie or slice or cake. I am even cooking for my DH and not wanting to taste.

Ladies, we are going to be so freaking fierce friday, that we are doing to want to do this again, but not to soon:biggrin:. From this we will learn to eat better all over again.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen! I'm fired up after the Biggest Loser.

And, I made that shake with the cheesecake pudding, Peanut Butter and milk. OMG....Although, I only had chocolate Protein Powder and it was good.

Hello everyone,

I had 1 boiled egg for Breakfast and it lasted until now (12:15). Now I'm eating my tuna (5oz can) w/1/2 t mayo, just a dollop of dill relish, and a egg. I have atempted to eat most,(1/2) but I can't. I don't really know IF I'M REALLY FULL or if it's stuck. I think I will stop and see if it's going to last. I'm excited. I will have a shake later. I need to drink it after my workout because by then I'm starving. I am making a vanilla shake with 1 t of white choc pudding and skim milk. I will let you know how that goes. I would love to put a few pecans in it, but I'm afraid it might mess up my stomach.

Okay, I think that I'm full. I remember when I would eat the whole cup of tuna w/crackers and then some pudding. Best wishes you all.

A lot - that's awesome! :wink: I'm so happy for you that you're listening to your tummy and getting FULL, not stuck! That's great stuff!!!

Okay, I just got home after being in court (family matter that kinda sucks right now.) I had a shake for Breakfast, egg drop Soup for lunch and am now home and having another shake.

I know I'm supposed to be on to softer things, but I am too tired to make anything.

Although, I was very excited because the egg drop Soup did fill me up quick. We were at a Chinese restaurant and I WANTED to eat all of what my mother had, but after the soup I didn't want anything else.

So, I think the last couple days have really helped!

Ok I found out today that I need a protien shake about 2pm because I was really wanting something from the snack machine so I had a protien shake and that fixed the snack problem so I am going to have to make sure I have a protien shake everyday about that time. You see we are all finding out new things or things that we forgot. I weigh in tomorrow

I have been going to weight watchers with my daughter. she has lost 20lb no band and I have lost 10 with band in the past 4 months. Glad everyone's week is going good we will be slim and trim before we know it!!! Now on to theWii fit for my hour work out!!! :thumbup:

Back home from the wellness center and really walked/jogged my butt off. I tried drinking a Protein shake on the way home and just didn't want it.

Yes, we are on our way to re-learning/re-thinking this thing out. Well, we just have to always remember even though we might slip, but there is always a tomorrow to get back on track.

Gloucester, aren't you proud of yourself, filling up on Soup and being able to walk away? Well, I am too proud of you and ALL of us. Sorry to hear about the family "issue"but know that we are here for you. "This too shall pass".

Ok here we are day 5 and we made it and now we have some new insite to work with. I did my Phat class yesterday and I am still sore but still going. I also weighed in and lost 3.4 lbs. Now I am really energized for the up comming year if i can do that in one week I know I can get the rest off I just had to get my determination back. I am proud of all of you!!!! Yes it is nice to know that we can backslide and get back on track without losing much ground. I still love my band!!! It is the greatest weightloss tool I have ever found. Looking for ward you all of your posts lets keep this group going I think we can help each other stay focused!!:confused::thumbup:

Yes, day 5 and we survived. I lost 3 1/2 pounds and I am so over the moon proud of myself. I need to lose 4 pounds a month now to be to goal by August (2 yrs). I am not proud of myself that I didn't make goal last yr, but that was MY fault. I am determined to do it this yr. I hate setting goals but I am going to try my hardest. I need to stay away from the slider foods. I will have some things, just not the whole bag.:confused:

[Gone4Now 4]

Good for you! I am so proud of you! It was harder in the first couple of days, but easier now. I am on day 4, since I did liquids for 3 days instead of just 2.

I'm a little worried. I am filling up pretty quickly, following the rules about drinking, but I haven't lost anything. I also found a new love for cottage cheese. :confused:

A friend of mine at work suggested I get my thyroid checked (it never has been) and so I'm going this after noon.

One rule that I haven't followed, and it may be effecting the weight loss, is the Water. I cannot get that much Water in. I drink teas, and propel, but plain water isnt' that appealing to me these days.

How do ya'll get in the water?

[A lot less 1]

Gloucester, I just kept a bottle with me all the time. I always look at the clock when I finished eating, then 30 minutes later, I drank my Water. On my way to work, I start on my 1st one. Before lunch, I try to sip 1/2 of one, then after 30 minutes, I sip the other 1/2. When I workout, I have a bottle with me and before I leave I refill it. There's my 64 ozs. When I get home I try to always drink another 1 or 2 bottles. I even take a cup w/ ice to bed and sip on it when I go to the bathroom. Now,most days I make sure I have a bottle of diet (lipton) citrus tea. I love it, you can get it at wally world. Hope this helps. I cheated last night, I ate about 8 pecan halves:frown:. I paid later cause I ate 5 of them before I went to bed and they stuck:eek:. This morning I discovered they quietly went down, but I won't do that again.:grouphug:

A lot,

Are you a coffee drinker? I think I need to break my habit, since I have one a day, but it takes all morning to drink it. I can't help but think if I don't have that, then maybe I'd be getting more Water in.

[anxious 0]

did anybody almost change their minds during there 2 weeks before surgery

[Gone4Now 4]

No, I didn't...and even though I'm slumping off now, it was still the BEST thing I ever did.

I love my band!

Yes, I only have 1 c in the morning. I wake up around 5 EVERY morning and that's when I have my cup. I usually leave my house for wk around 6:50 (sometimes earlier) and on the way I have my water bottle sipping until I get to wk (15 mins). I have a bottle here with me now, sipping.Maybe that would help cause my coffee does fill me up. That's why on my way to wk I can sip.
