My Doc said to add some grated cheese to your scrambled eggs in the morning (remember we're not counting fat) it's the weight of the eggs that are the problem - they need a little help going down and the cheese is just enough to make it easier to stay down...I can also do yogurt with nuts in the am - and chew really well!

We all go through times like this....so make a list - why did you have the band to begin with? Bet you can think of 5 things really fast. Look over the list then begin another line - one that has five things that have happened since you've lost an incredible 54 pounds..new clothes? more energey? Now - you should be feeling better - so why not go all the way and think of five new things you would like to acomplish with additional weight loss....run a race, climb a mountain what would motiate you - then post those list where you can see it every day and remind yourself that it's YOU that you're doing this for. What old foods do you miss? Can you stop yourself at just a taste? Then do that, but remember, a lot of those foods that got us into trouble to begin wtih we CAN'T eat anymore - and that's really the beauty of the band......Good Luck - cut yourself some slack and Celebrate your 54 pounds!!
