    Wow.. So Much...

    I'm in the same boat. Want to snack all day. I'm just focusing on entering EVERYTHING into my fitness pal, getting my proteins, and keeping busy. The more active I am, I've found the more I stay on track. Winters in Minnesota are dark and dreary. I joined a small town fitness center and volunteer at same place that has a thrift store, meeting rooms and craft classes. That's working for now, try different things and if you can switch up your day. Good luck Surgery date 5/16/12.

    Mirena Iud

    4 yrs ago had a Mirena placed. My body rejected it a couple months later. Exact same thing, bleeding like a miscarriage (3 months). August 2012 after over an hour appt with my GYN decided it was the best option to try again. Although my chances of a 2nd rejection are at 30%... So far so good. Still dealing with random spotting. Haven't had a heavy period yet (before 10+ days of Heavy flow). You guys have made me question the weight gain aspect though. Surgery date 5/16/12, I've lost 110 lbs but I've bounced up and down 2 lbs since it was placed. I really never put 2&2 together. Thank you I'll have to bring this up with my Dr.

    Getting Dlcoggin To Post A Pic

    Thanks I do... Off tons of meds. Not too long ago I thought how stupid it was for us to buy a split entry house... I couldn't do the stairs without huffing and puffing. I would pile things up at the top of the stairs so I'd only have to make 1 trip down. Now I fly up and down the stairs all day long!

    Getting Dlcoggin To Post A Pic

    I really can't believe I'm sharing this pic!!! I took this 5/1/12... 262 lbs Starting day of pre op liquid diet. (recent highest 278 lbs Jan 2012- Journey starting date). Today 170! Picture taken 2 weeks ago 9/10/12... Size 24 jeans to a 6 and 4x shirt to a large. Hope this works!
  6. Tried this...I could only pour it over the rocks... Not blended. Maybe that would have made the difference. I couldn't drink it as is, so I bought lemon/lime G2 (low sugar gatorade) and mixed that with it!!! Sooo much better. As with everything... MODERATION!

    Starbucks On Week 2 Post Op

    I live 30 miles from the closet small town that has 1 Starbucks in a sm Target... I went in and asked what iced drink I could order that would be caffeine free, sugar free, and fat free... Her response... "Water". A few customers and I had a good laugh and I enjoyed a nice ice cold water as I shopped. I am fighting an ulcer so I'll hold off on coffee for a while... But some days I sure do miss it.

    New Style For The New Me

    Thank you everyone. I no longer feel my age (or older). I have so much more energy. Instead of having my kids "fetch" things for me, I jump up and get it/ do it myself. Stay Strong and always Moderation!

    New Style For The New Me

    Thank you guys! Bozeswife... All great people in this group have been amazingly helpfull! Pretty much live on the idea- if it doesn't have protein in it, it doesn't go in my mouth & MODERATION!! I stick to 3 protein meals and 1/2 protein bar morn snack & the other half for afternoon. That's 20 grams. I drink tons of water... And exercise- walks, bike riding, some floor work (check with Dr on some, I had to wait 6 weeks to ride & crunches)... But I count running around the yard or taking walks on our property with the kids exercise. Good luck, Stay strong & use this group they are amazing!
