great job

every step you take (helps). you are moving so you are (exercising) not like walking/jogging per say but you are doing something. you are not a sloth my dear, you are doing great and i super duper proud of you. i feel for you on the holidays. i gots my inlaws over and id rather sit in a steel trash can and have some one bang on the side with a baseball bat then have them over......stress and to think i doesnt drink no more (((((what will i do)))) you and i wll do what we have to do because we have too. eyecandy aka dylan is 100%. just because the scale isnt moving does not mean you are not losing. i dont own a scale. my dr weighs me once a month at my f/up. you got this. i know you do. dont make the banded b's whip your ASS

what else would i expect from a banded b but superb success?? you know how i feel about this post yellow rose

super duper proud of YOU as you and were banded in the same time frame

.....to those who love eggnog this is super duper fantastic..... (me dont like it and wish i could)......EXCELLENT positive mental attitude. you got this

great news shelley

the reason you are hungry is because you are (hungry). sip your protein as that is your (fuel) at the moment. it will help you with the feeling of being hungry. its best not to cheat on the post op liquids as you are very much still healing inside and very swollen. eating before your are suppose could be serious. i am glad to read you are gonna go back to your doctors instructions. as your swelling subsides, you will get more hungry (i know i sure did) and this is when your mental aspect of using portion control and eating protein laden options come into play. as far as the restriction, i dont know if what you said is correct. i felt restriction from the beginning and i dont have any fills but i eat as (though i am at full restriction). hang in there. you are doing well. treat yourself like the queen you are.

as long as you do (anything) that is what matters you are doing and that is excellent.no wonder you are a success

if you feel like this, calling the dr should be your first option. if in doubt in regards to anything, call the DOCTOR.

ok....are you feeling better?? please be careful friend.....reading that you felt faint scared me.. now, tell me about this suit.was color? did you wear some bling bling???...did you get in photo booth? the melon sounds yummy and would like me some of that right now...

well done gf....love this post...

yet again....princess was not invited.....i am beginning to feel slighted.. you know it would have been a party if all the b's were THERE

love love love the pictures yellow rose gf of mine the items you guys made look awesome i see my be happy bag hanging...that is mine so put my name on it also, great example of bringing foods to eat instead of just wanging it **any newbies or prebies make note of what she brought with her to eat**

i agree with jean and banjo...maybe instead of going to curves now, spend that money on a dr visit,,...i was on anti depressants for a long while as my brother killed himself...and i didnt have the greatest upbringing and i found solace in drink and excess food.......i have always felt alone and though no one understands or even cares..but you know what, as long as you care about you, you can begin to find yourself..i know you think that wont happen, but it can...look deep inside..your in there....... i was like you..i couldnt walk and all i did was sit and eat and get bigger and get more depressed but i had to reach my final straw...i felt if i didnt do something,,,i don know what would happen.... you arent alone.....like banjo siad, pm anyone of us...we are here for you

happy anniversary dear friend of mine dinner sounded YUMMY and much well deserved GF what a busy rest of the week you are gonna have. i hope you have a wonderful time at wedding. i bet the snow is pretty. did any of it stick?? if i could wear those jeans id say send them to me here in nc but i am not in those numbers (YET). have a great support meeting. much love.

hell is not being able to walk hell is weighing nearly 350 pounds hell is wearing 3x and they are getting too tight...... easy is believing in myself enough and WANT this to follow the dr's instructions and eat good healthy foods and leave the excuses at the curb........ excellent blog post GF

hey sweetie....i never heard of this and went to mayoclinic.com to check out cocnut oil. here is what i found: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/coconut-oil-and-weight-loss/AN01899 Can coconut oil help me lose weight? Answer from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. The few small studies that have looked at coconut oil and weight loss suggest that coconut oil may help reduce waist size, but it doesn't lead to significant weight loss or improved body mass index (BMI). Coconut oil is a tropical oil that's made from the dried fruit (nut) of the coconut palm tree. Proponents say that it contains a healthy type of fatty acid that your body quickly burns for energy. The oil extracted from fresh coconut contains medium chain fatty acids, which aren't stored in adipose tissue. However, coconut oil is high in calories and saturated fat. One tablespoon contains 117 calories and 13.6 grams of fat. Coconut oil has more saturated fat than lard does. Although eating coconut oil in moderation isn't likely to harm your health, it's not likely to help you lose weight either. For successful, long-term weight loss, stick to the basics — an overall healthy-eating plan and exercise.
