I know and my coworkers are like u can have one they just dont get it. ughhhh

Today one of the docs bought cupcakes for us...i had to decline...and now they're sending a tray of cookies down for nurses week. I wanna go home

thanks guys. I tried the sobe life Water the other day. Not bad. Will try some of the other options

I work in psychiatry...clonidine is used in anxiety cases...if not mistaken. I know the nurse practioner prescribed it to my asst when she was afraid to fly last year.

u can say that again Everyone wanted to know where I was...2 of the docs had the nerve to say I guess you aren't gonna tell us what kinda surgery u had....how nosy...I should've said a hysterectomy. the nerve

So glad to hear the niners are doing well! Congrats

:)Welcome to Mama Lynn!

I agree office temptations are hard...especially these folks, Pasta, ribs, fried chicken you name it! But i look at it like I have to do it. There is no room for failure, especially not this early out. I don't think the walks are a bad idea. And ppl commenting is definitely great motivation. Keep up the great work!

Between eating what you should, and what you want? And when I say this, I am not even referring to splurging on Macdonalds, but more so, picking the more Protein rich food versus something which isn't as high in protein, but isn't bad per se. I know my friend said she stuck to her "diet" hardcore until she reached goal, then slacked up a lil Do you reserve weekends, for a "special treat' or only on special occasions/holidays?

I think its all relative unless your talking strictly measurements, b/c my bite and your bite may not be the same. Also ppl say 2 spoon fuls, do you mean a tsp, a Tbsp, a baby spoon, how fast are you eating etc. I am a month out today, and on purees, and I can eat 4 oz of soft foods. I measure all my portions at this point...i graduate to solids on Saturday so we'll see.

with the dieters tea how often do you drink that? I know it can be a little harsh on the stomach, only reason I ask. I use Milk of Magnesia when I feel really backed up.

THANKS...it seems so far away...but I know i will get there eventually. 33 lbs to go. then onto the next mini goal.

i used to love water...but now i feel like i am trying to swallow a roll of quarters...esp if it's plain water

I am gonna head to the gift shop at work and see if they have any of your suggestions. Thanks guys. I think variety helps to spice things up, and keeps you focused better.

I wanna get to 250...i haven't weighed that since maybe late HS or early college smh...if it could coincide with 7/4 or shortly there after I'd be ecstatic!

my guidelines say sugar/cal free....BORING

Today I had b-protein shake Lunch-Turkey chili topped with cheese dinner-refried Beans w/ cheese, salsa and a dollop of greek yogurt water-60 ozs cals-765 protein-72g

and crystal light sugar free/calorie free is kinda limited...pre-op i would throw an occasional coke zero in there.... what are you guys drinking besides Water?

Congrats!!

wow....I haven't felt that...i guess that's good. I basically feel like my tummy is a lil full....i have been measuring...haven't eyeballed food yet...going to a baby shower Saturday and I am extremely nervous...it'll also be my first day of solids

Soups also

Thanks Griselda. Good way to look at it...i guess i am nervous because I have 100 lbs to go

I am still on mushies...and again I am so confused with whether we should be eating 4 ozs weighed or measured ....i have been going with measured because it is mainly soft/ mushy food...but for solids...i presume weighed and like u said i am sure I will be full on 2 ozs cuz the other day I made a poached egg and it was a little over 2 ozs and I was full....this is such a learning experience...who said it was the easy way out

Thanks Katmagmom! I think we are in the same boat.

600-800 cals most days I hover between 650-750, especially when focused on my protein intake
