    ahhhh, hubby made some sweet and low chicken over rice tonight, I only had a few bites and my body did the sugar dumping thing...

    1. #MagicWithinme

      sweet and sour..

      Try substituting stevia for the sugar and mashed cauliflower for the rice. I really enjoy it that way.

    Does anyone know if there is a difference to our bodys drinking bottled water to faucet water? I realize that there are different minerals, but is it enough to notice?

      Hi, I believe it's important in the post-op recovery stages to make sure there aren't any problems with unknown bacterial that sometimes can get into tap water unknowingly. After that, I'm really not sure.

    2nd time in my life, in Rue 21 shop, all the bright colors, and lights, I think I started hyperventilating! I made myself stay and pick out an outfit.

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      I know all my life, I've always picked out clothes and colors that would make me blend into the background, take any focus off of me, I don't think that is Rue 21's motto. It' was like the louder color the better!!,

    Something happened, :(, I have a nut allergy and the only one I could eat was peanut butter, I have been noticing lately that after I eat some PB, I have been getting itchy. soo bummed

  5. #MagicWithinme

    Sometimes I get the same feeling when I'm holding my breath to try to get into size 14 pants, than when I was trying to get into size 22 pants.. sometimes

    when does the time come when you can start enjoying losing weight?

      For me it took until I was feeling 100%. It's hard to be happy about losing when I don't feel good. Hang in there, it does get better.

    1ST real cold since lapband and it sucks, (even dr says boy you haven't been around for awhile have you> I can consider that a NSV right?

    1. ProudGrammy

      ProudGrammy

    I found a sticky in going through my lapband stuff, it says Carb's first then Protein, can't remember why I wrote it

    1. BigGirlPanties

      BigGirlPanties

      can't imagine why...carbs are ALWAYS last...if at all...

    2. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

  9. #MagicWithinme

    All that exercise started a chain reaction, can't get enough protein right now.. but it's a good sign means my body is working.

  10. #MagicWithinme

    Guess I overdid, Zumba/body toning Saturday. Two mile walk on Sunday, my little heart has been pounding, overdid the cardio, I need to ease back into...

      What an awesome feeling!

  14. #MagicWithinme

    I have to realize that although I have stopped the abuse on my body, there was still damage done, I have to allow my mind/body to heal from that still.

      It is so hard I don't know if my mind will ever catch up.

    Everything's ok with the lapband, until it isn't. I think my body is trying to start the winter fat symptoms!

      I keep getting these fall recipes in my inbox that look so delicious but they're so unhealthy. Lots of cream, butter, flour and short on protein. I think the visuals of these Fall and Holiday meals is a appetite stimulant.

    Yesterday went to gym for class of PiYo, imagine my surprise when the instructor stood there and said well to RIPPED!

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      I had already paid, and even though I didn't have the right shoes on or anything else, I said, and I do have to say it wasn't that bad. I stayed the whole hour, I kept waiting for the back pain to hit, but it never did. TOTAL NSV !!!!

       

  20. #MagicWithinme

    Hmm, that's interesting, had a weird dream and all I can remember is someone asking me if I was on coke or soemthing, and a fire burning that everyone was ignoring

    1. #MagicWithinme

      #MagicWithinme

      If I were analyze it, I think it means I'm not taking care of myself and don't look healthy and the burning fire is a problem that I'm choosing not to deal with. I told my husband and he said you analyze what you analyzed is your problem, lol

    2. Debbie3sons

      Debbie3sons

      You are to much lol , some of the things you post and say or your Husband says to you crack me up.

      #MagicWithinme

      Debbie3sons, I'm taking that as a compliment! I can say some strange things, and my husband will still know what I meant to say.

  21. #MagicWithinme

    Habits die hard, was riding in step sons new 2014 charger, and everytime I opened the door I opened it slow to make sure door wouldn't hit curb. And each time, it was nowhere near, and the car wasn't sitting low.. NSV
