The scale has been creeping up on me too -- evil unfill!!

I started keeping a food log though, so I hope that helps. I'm actually not eating horribly, but still not exercising. I'm making that a goal this week.

I did good yesterday..went out and ran a mile, then walked two. I felt really good. I haven't run in years and years and only then because I had to. But, when I've had to, that has been when I've lost weight and felt fit.

I did good all day and then ate like a pig at dinner. Raviolis...geez..I know that isn't on my list of good things. I'm losing my mind.

I really need to get that fill. I think in the morning I will try to schedule it. What the heck...just 200 bucks. HA

$200?! Wow. I would be broke by now with all the adjustments I've had over the last year!

Yep, it is quite the racket I think, but they have you as a captive audience...no one else does it in the area. Got my appointment for 9 tomorrow. I've been eating really bad.

I'm starting the five day pouch diet......I need to rein myself in and that seems to work for me. If I can manage it for the week, then I usually get back on track for a while.

Close up of my face - even though I have only lost 10 to 15 pounds this past year, I can tell a big difference in my face.

Tonya you are beautiful. NOthing like a resort trip to make you have that extra glow!

Snowed in the past two days...couldn't go anywhere. Not so bad the first day but was/is getting on my nerves today. WE just did our first trip out...so should be able to get into town tomorrow for a meeting. We have drifts over 10 foot tall.

Tonya, I tell you this to extend your savoring of your hot tropical vacation!!

Snowed it? Wow! I thought I had reason to complain with all this rain we've gotten. It has rained every day since I got back, pouring this morning and not supposed to clear up until next week. arggggg.

But snow? Wow - being snowed in in May! I'm sure you are ready for some beautiful weather as well.

I need my sunshine! I can't take too much more of this horrible weather, I'm about to go crazy!

I have another fill scheduled for 5/18, however, I'm tight again, and been having acid reflux in the evening. I'm going to just see if I stay tight, or I could be loose by then. I hope I keep my restriction!

Tonya -- you look amazing!! :)

Well, gals, I am really hating this unfill. I'm back up to 230. It just kills me. I know what it is though -- eating out. I've eaten out more in the past two weeks than I have in the past six MONTHS!! I can't wait to get some restriction again.

On a better note... I've finally gotten my booty moving. I've been doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred DVD three times a week. Mari Winsor Pilates another two days. And I'm parking far at work and walking ten minutes instead of taking the shuttle. Yay me!

Juno, that is terrific. I'm being lazy this week..but I might fit in some walking. Next week though I need to up the anti.

I just got back from a "girlfriends" weekend at a hot springs resort. IT was so fun and relaxing. But the kids in the room next door partied all night..so my internal close is messed up..so I didn't sleep at all last night (in my own bed). Sheesh...

Snow is melting but we still have some huge drifts. I head out Wed-Fri for a retreat related to my work...another hot springs...some days are just good!! I am trying to convince myself that I can hit the pool with all those others...Strangers I have no problem with..my peers, that is a bit tougher.

I ate out a lot last week myself and put on 4 lbs! EAting out will do it for me everytime! I'm back on plan this week and bringing my lunch to work.

Yay! That is great! I need to get back to the gym myself. I've taken a few weeks off and its time to get it back in gear! Tonight, its the gym for me!

Snow - yuck. I need some sunshine very badley, I'm going crazy with all the rain we are having!

I totally relate, I can wear a bathing suit for total strangers, but people I know, especially my work peers, that would be hard. I'm sure you will look great though...

      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.
