I am always tight in the morning, most peoe are. Often people eat yougurt & drink warm fluids for breakfast. I have a feeling it is this not stress.

Greek yougurt, cream of wheat, a piece of fruit...

I eat popcorn a lot. On days when I'm tight my go to food is popcorn. But it is definatly a slider food!

Watch out b/c your tolerance has prob dropped. Plus you r not eating as much so you'll get drunk quicker.

Whoo hoo! & there is still time left

I have had the periods of time where I lived on 300 cal/day for up to a month, not b/c I was trying to starve buy b/c I just wasn't hungry. I didn't loose squat! Granted I'm not much better now, I eat around 600~700, but I loose consistantly. My trick to getting my calorie intake up... Avacado's! I eat one every day. They are high in cal, 350 for a medium one, & they are full of great fats & vitamins . Not to mention they are delicious!

Be careful with these thoughts they can become compulsive! I am in therapy working out these exact thoughts right now. I became obsessed & repulsed by the way & how much others ate. It got to the point that when we left a resturant I could tell you how much food everyone @ other tables within sight of me had ate & how fast. I have actually been advised by my therapist to not go out to eat @ resturants if @ all possible b/c of my anxiety it would cause.

Time for a fill! My measurer is if I can eat a sub sandwhich with bread from Jimmy Johns I am to loose & need a fill.

I never know how the day is going to go... Some days it's fine others there is no chance.

That is awsome what a great milestone! Keep up the great work! I'm 1.6 lbs away from hitting 80 lost since April & 5.6 lbs away from ONEDERLAND! Can't wait!

Fabulous! I got my band April 6th & as of today I am 1.6 lbs away from hitting 80 lbs! Keep up the good work... Remember you'll hit platues but keep your spirits up.

I had a couple of bites of turkey, 1 bite of cranberries, 3 bites of mashed potatoes, & 4 bites of peacan pie for lunch. About 4 bites of pumpkin pie in the afternoon. For supper I had 3 oz of chicken breat with roasted red pepper & avacado. I pretty much eat an avacado every day b/c it helps me get more calories in, plusi love them! .Lol. I've been sticking to soup mostly lately so I kinda just nibbled

That totally stinks! Have you ever tried Chantix? It works great for quitting smoking...

I used to base my fills on whether or not I could eat a sub sandwhich. That worked good.

So I am sitting here in an airport diner, eating a yummy chef salad, waiting to board a flight in a little over an hour. Anyways! I am just writing to say that I am super excited to go on the plane 68 lbs lighter and hopefully fit in the seat much more comfortably! Before I could barely latch the seatbelt, and it was very uncomfortable, without an extender (b/c I was to embaressed to ask for one). Now I feel confident that this will no longer be an issue! Fingers crossed!!!

Congratulations! That is so awsome Especially with no fills! I'm jealous! lol I am 7 months out now, down 68 lbs and 16 lbs from onederland! I have however had 4 fills and 1 unfill. Such an amazing journey and it's so great to hear people's successes! Enjoy your new body!

I thankfully only had to suffer threw 2 gallbladder attacks, the were 2 days in a row, & had an ultradound the second one. I had an ultrasound on a monday & was in surgery @ 10 on wednesday! I knew the surgeon personally so thay helps greatly U will so much better with it out! Plus your diet will improve b/c you'll b able to tolerate high fiber foods again... Hang in there!

I was very open to everyone from the beginning. I don't personally feel like I have to hide the fact that I had wls from anyone. I've only.ran into one negative nelly & when I explained how hard I had tried in the past without sucess & my food addiction she totally changed her tune & became very supportive. All people look @ this problem differently.... If you don't feel comfortable then by all means don't post anything Good luck! & congrats on your sucess!

I admit that day 5 post op I wanted to die I was soooo hungry! I cried & cried. I finally broke down & ate some mashed potatoes! Two days later my doctor gave me the green light for mushies. My doc then lets u advance to solids slowly as tolerated. He's not suler strict in the post op diet. 6 months out & 68 lbs dwn

Way to go! That is fabulous! 68 lbs in 6 months here, 16 lbs to onederland for me Can't wait!

Coming from someone who recently got a fill even though I truely didn't need it & subsequently having a slight unfil my advice is this... Don't get a fill!

Change up your routine & your diet! Not much info here but if you are exercising try to change things up & make sure your doinf some resistance training to build muscle . Also give your diet a good look & see if there are some changes you can make there. R u still logging ur calories? do u feel up to a returning to a liquid diet for 5 to 7 days for a little cleanse? Also how long have u been platued? A lil more info would make it easier for people to give u hints.

I completly understand picking up a bad habit, mine.... Anorexia & bulemia I am in therapy & working really hard on it though. I also luv to shop & buy new clothes. In addition to the fact that I enjoy getting dressed & looking nice on my days off, I'm a nurse so I wear scrubs @ work. Now I do my hair, makeup, & wear something nice & put together even if I have nothing to do. Whereas before I lived in yoga pants & tshirts!

I went went for a fill 2 wks ago, even though I didn't really "need" it... Ended up having to get unfilled 10 days later v/c I was still javing trouble keeping water down. Best decsion ever! I gained one pound the past 5 days, but I was really dehydrated.

I ended up gettin unfill .7 ml & I feel sooo much better!
