Ok as you all know...well most of you I have 7 sons....and today I had to have a serious sit down hug him talk with my 11 yr old who has a eatting problem. He is so into sports and latly I can see all he thinks about is what he can eat.So today when he came home from school I had a snack ready for them all a healthy one....he ate then ..next thing I knew it he had a slice of pie....then a piece of angel food cake...and so on.....finally when I cought him going for one more snack I said "hun you have to stop...." I told him he was just eatting to eat and couldnt possible be hungry....wellthat lead to him crying....saying your always picking on me mom...OMG made me cry...and then we went out sat in the swing and talked....I told him ow I so dont want to see him ever have to be where I am now...and I pointed out my nephew who also is very heavy...I reminded him how athletic he is and how it will get harder and harder to run....heck I told him how I couldnt walk with out holding on to his brothers wheel chair just to lean on it....So after the tears were dryed....we got on line did a BMI chart for kids....got his and then we made a shopping list together....after football practice dad "J" and mom went shopping...He is very excited to be my healthy eatting partner....and I told him I bet in a month or 2 I can buy him one of his first pairs of skinny jeans....and we can toss the gym pants ....It was a hard afternon but I think he is excited now....I know I am....God Love Him....cuz I sure do !

so very sorry ...God Bless You..

Thank you for this....Its something good to know..Lil things that can happen and make a huge problem... And WOW you look amazing !!!

Sorry your dealing with that....I sometimes get that when I eat foods that dont agree with me. Eggs....lettuce..apples....I start to eat then I get that OOOOo Goodness feeling and I get the phlem....I just stop eatting and wait for it to pass.....Good Luck

You go girl !!!

I will share my story about my weight loss and my children...I have 8 children ages 35 to 7 and my oldest children know my struggle of my weight and were very happy to know I was finally able to get the surgery,yet at the same time they thought "really mom at your age"...lol... .My younger ones were more worried about what mom was doing...but as I loose and am happier and doing more they are so happy to see the new me.....and last night while eatting water melon my youngest said to me....after he swallowd a to big a bite...mom I think Im having a stuck issue....OOO we all had to laugh.....as you can see I have been very open with them about this jurney....

Your doing awsome....but I know what your saying...we all want faster... For me walking and more walking...and every chance I get Im doing some sort of movement that I didnt use to do.....even if its just stending on your tippy toes when washing dishes....or deep knee bends when folding laundry....Good Luck and with your motivation I bet you hit your goal !!!

Great Job....fantastic

Cpvilla....sounds to me like your doing wonderful.... Keep doing what your doing and it will all come together once your healed... Good luck !

For me...I to am just getting to green and have had more stucks then Id like...mostly because I forget to chew...30 yrs of old habit dont die easy...but I find moist chicken...meatballs...cottage cheese...chrackers...delux protein bars..apples with out skin...green beans..yogurt...very smll bite of noodles every now and then...and a english muffin if Im real careful and eat slow ! Good luck on your learning road...

Sorry sent befor finished.... I have 8.5 cc now in my band and can honestly feel full after a normal size meal...also been having some stuck times when I don't chew...so give it time....congrts on your 30 lbs so far !!!!

Congrats blmfighter just want to wish you a happy and healthy journey !!!

Im not sure what that pain could be but I also have had it..I didnt call my doctor I just figured it was part of the healing going on inside.....It has come and gone...seems if im sitting and go to get up fast I have felt it....then after a day its gone....I will be watching this thread to see what others think about it also....

Bring on Sept...and thank you Lisa for the time you take to push us all....

Awsome gigi girl.....I did the same thing this morning..its a beautiful day here in central Pa !

Most morning heading out the door I grab a Protein bar....and they really make me feel full till lunch time.... if its later in the day I always keep a zip lock back with 7 triskit crackers and a wedge of baby bell swiss cheese in the fridge ready to grab....

To me the *green zone* is when you eat a 1/2 cup meal or less and feel full...being sure to get your protein first......with out getting stuck.......its a heavenly place we all want to be in....

im not good with words..but i feel your pain ...we have all been there... Just know your stronger then the food...you CAN do this.... log every thing you eat...just for your eyes only and maybe that will help and know were all here for you......sending you a hug.....God Bless
