I agree. I don't have much support at home either. I have not been able to go to meetings due to work and little one's at home afterwork. Please feel free to connect with me if you wish. I get banded tomorrow. Feb 3rd.

I have been in the same boat all of my life. I also "ate my last meals". I started the liq diet 11 days ago and it actually hasn't been too bad. I have used sugar free jello's and the puddings in my protein shakes. I put sugar free butterscotch in with vanilla protein shake and coffee, blended with ice for a wonderful Coffee Frappe! Good Luck to you! I get banded on the 3rd. VERY Excited for my new life!! I can't wait to see the SMALL version of ME!

Nice to hear from You Mrs Mustang! Glad to have someone close to the same boat especially where the spouse is concerned! I came home a few nights ago and my husband had ate a 1/2 bag of regular potatoe chips and an entire small sour cream dish with onion soup mix in it - like home made onion dip. i would have liked to throw it in the trash.. but I didn't..

Good Morning so far. I made a coffee smoothie. Taste like carmel frappe from Starbucks. That is what I would miss the most but I found a way to do it sugar free and low fat!! Sugar Free Butterscotch pudding, skim milk, decaf coffee, protein power (vanilla), Ice and blend. MMMM Good!

I have also used Almond Milk chocolate unsweetened if you can find it.

I love coffee drinks, so I have come up with something that is pretty good for me:

Protein powder - I like vanilla

Skim milk

Decaff Coffee

Sugar Free butterscotch pudding

Ice

Blend it

It almost taste like a carmel frapp from starbucks .

I have also used the sugarfree jello to put different flavors in the protein shakes.

This is awesome to see! I can't wait to post mine!

Keep your chin up!! This too will pass. Don't go back to distructive behaviors.

Look back at your pictures of your progress and what accomplishment you have done!!

We will celebrate with you when you reach your goal... it is within your grasp now.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do we just go up to the blog and look for "band_groupie"?

Not sure how all this works, so if I don't put things in the correct place please excuse me ahead of time.

I get my Band on Feb 3rd. Very Excited. But I don't have much support at home. Husband has NEVER been over weight at all and doesn't understand why I can't jus shut my mouth and stop eating... In need of support. Thanks ahead of time!

So glad youre on your way to being healthier!

AWESOME!! So glad you are on your way to being healthier!

Glad to hear you got through that OK. I started my pre-op liq. diet yesterday. I thought I would be starving. I did have a few hunger pains but nothing I couldn't handle.
