goal_will_be_met

Hi there, Does anyone have this issue when you first eat in the morning it hurts? I hate mornings because when I eat I feel like I am swallowing a golf ball. Could this mean that I am to tight? It does ease up as the day gets going but it takes me forever to eat Breakfast in the mornings. I am just not sure what to do. Help!

Thank you! Appreciate the advice!

Do you think that emotional baggage can set you back on your weightloss? lately I have been trying to find ways to let petty things go such as being annoyed that someone isn't doing something the way I do it. Its not even me! I am not them and they aren't me so why do I care so much? I am not sure how to let it all just go and not compare myself to others or critize others. I am no better than anyone else and we all put our pants on the same. I just gotta figure out how to let it all go...I guess I should join a support group...Its so hard finding ones out here and the one they do offer from my doctors office I always forget or when I do think about it ...it is too late I will figure this out....just gotta worry about me and my family and that alone.

You can do this! I know how you feel and before you know it this phase will be gone. Hang in there and keep your chin up!

Thank you that helps alot...I am gonna check into that...cause I do feel that I have to have control of everything and I just can't take it! lol I need to sit back and let things just roll.

Love it and I say right on! hehe

Thanks for the tip...I have a membership and noticed they have it but now I think I will check into it for sure!

Hi there, I'll be happy to help. I can tell you that I too did much research and talked to people that had it before I did the surgery. It has been the best thing that has happened to me. Anyway please reach out to me and I'll be happy to help!

Thank you to all of you! I am trying really hard and everyday I feel more and more better! Hope all of you are doing well!

I haven't been on here in a long while. I lost my dad to cancer this past November and then delt with the whole flu...I just haven't felt much like doing anything. I haven't lost anymore weight but I haven't gained either. In fact lately I have been so on board that I am trying to find good easy fast ways to lose weight...When in fact there really isn't much to it. Just healthy eating and exercise. I hate exercising because its not fun to me and it hurts...I have to remind myself that if it were easy everyone would do it. I am trying to get better with my food and have been doing well...I am still having a hard time getting enough calories in. I am drinking and eating every 3 hours but Still not enough...This weekend I plan on buying more veggies and fruit..Time to get real and time to quit feeling sorry for myself. I am ready for this and have been. I shouldn't stop because my dad wouldn't want me too. I wanna do this because this is for me no one else.

I never thought that I could be on the verge of meeting my ultimate weightloss goal. I was just doing some thinking and realized that I am about 35 pounds away from my first goal and 51 pounds away from my ultimate goal and for the first time ever I can honestly say that I am going to get there and I will succeed. I have come so far this year to stop now. Even tho we have up's and down's that just gives you all the more reason to really concentrate on you! This last week was really tough for me but I also realize it could have been way worse then what it was. For that I am very grateful. It also just gives me that extra push to really get myself even more in shape. I know that I can do this and I want it even more. I need to take some pictures of me now and post more. I feel great and I don't even know when the last time was when I was this small. Its been along time that is for sure. I am so proud of myself and everything I have accomplished. I feel that great things are still in store and I just gotta keep positive because its gonna happen. In other news I wanted to lose 10 pounds by Aug 1 because we are going on a trip and I am 2 pounds away from that goal! Very proud of me! Thats all for now :wub: :ph34r:

Thank you!!! Hope your well!

I also went to the forum but figured I'd put it here ...I am not sure what to do... I am not sure if I am in the green zone or too tight…If your in the green zone are you able to just take sips because to big of a drink hurts going down or comes back up? Same with food. What about gurgling…do you gurgle after each drink even water? I also burp a lot with water when I didn’t before I am just not sure if I am good or too tight…help!
