Smoggy

Me too!

This made me laugh- I too have a carb queen lurking deep inside waiting to pop out in a Jekyll and Hyde moment. Hang in there- you are looking AM-AZ-ING!

Thanks for the encouragement people. Desertmom- are these protein pancakes from the world according to eggface? Can you make a batch and freeze them?

@lexnurse I really can't stand most of the protein shakes now, But I've discovered that if I add strong cooled decaff coffee and ice to the vanilla one, it is really drinkable and kinda like an iced latte. I have also found my nails have grown like weeds and so has my hair and I'm convinced it is the isopure- I have one a day for breakfast.

You are looking FAAABULOUS!

@Birdy18 - i don't really feel hungry after swimming, although I do feel thirsty. I haven't had any "famished" feelings after the sleeve just a few head-hinger feelings that I've talked myself out of.

@traceylynn - if you want to see what I eat on MFP, feel free to add me, my name on there is Buzzyi and my food diary is open to everyone. I typically try to keep my carbs below 30 and try to get in as much protein as possible at each meal as well as having 1 isopure shake a day. I usually split the shake in half and drink it in two separate sessions a few hours apart so i know I can get all that protein in- it is 50 grams per drink so that is a lot of the reason why I'm getting so much in. I don't have much of a problem getting liquid down, I've just gone off the taste of plain water sadly.

Hi Nyanbunny- I have another VSGer friend fasting and I REALLY feel for you both- GOOD LUCK,. xox

Great news! Well done!

How wonderful for you! Congrats!

Wow, I am a great fan of TED talks and actually recently atended a TEDx conference in my area.What a positive way to make changes, I'm going to try this app. Thanks for the heads up!

Get better! Glad the holiday is good. :-)

I've had sinus problems since I was a child until a couple of years ago I discovered a neti-pot.It is a little teapot-like vessel that you put warm water into, with a little pure salt, and then you pour it into one nostril (over a basin of course) while your head is upside down. I swear my sunuses were clean as a whistle after that. For a while I used it every day, but nowadays as soon as I feel a little stuffy I use it twice a day for a few days. Works like a charm.

Thanks E-girl, I can't get Unjury here :-( and they won't allow it through the post either :-( :-(

Thanks- it still feels a little like a dream!

I'm not regretting anything funnily enough but I think I have a bit of cabin fever! I'm so glad others have experienced this, was starting to feel like a bit of a weeping wailer!

Hang in there! Chicken bouillon soup? Can you make some healthy soup? I used to go waling around my Dad's place regardless, it was actually lovely to moving out in the Cape Town winter weather and I needed some fresh air at least twice a day and to get out of the house.

Enoy your time with them!

I'm OK- doesn't seem real! I sat at the vet today and brushed my kitty and she was quite responsive so it made me feel a bit better about her. They will do more blood tests tomorrow and I'll call on my way to surgery.

Thanks for the all the support, you lot are AWESOME xox

BIG thumbs up!

Good luck- you'll be a losing sleever before you know it!

WOW

Good for you and good luck!

Oh Heck that sounds just awful! Sorry you had a bad time, but glad you're on the road to recovery... I do hope going to work is not too soon....

Great news- will be crossing fingers and chanting for you! Best of luck!

Hope you feel better soon... and your moving news is VERY exciting!

I'm with you Yolisse- I am one of a large staff group where I work and gossip is UTTERLY rife on a good day. I have decided that this is my private business and I don't need the judgement, second - guessing, the zillion explanation nonsense to ignorant people or the skewed judgement that with certain people will surely follow. I have told a very small number of people. 6 close friends who are scattered around the world and sworn to zip it, my Godmother and my brother. That is IT and that is how it will stay. My Dad and stepmom don't even know ....

WOW what good news desertmom! I look forward to hearing all about it hopefully at the weekend. Glad the fiber change is working out for you. Keep on keeping on!
