Go for my second fill on the 16th. My doctor is very impressed with weight I have lost so far. People at work are starting to see the weight loss. Get so many compliments. That is a definite plus and another motivation to keep it up. Can't wait for next summer.....planning to go home to Ohio and a trip to Cedar Point, to ride all the roller coasters again. Have not been able to do that in 15 years.

My life has changed so much in the last 2 months and I could not be more thankful. I am healthier than I have been in years and I am just beginning. I am active and actually to the point I am starting to crave it. I make better decisions than I have ever in regards to food. This tool hasn't changed my life, it has given me my life back. I have learned discipline and control and on the occasional slip, I refocus, not a week later but the next day. It actually makes me work harder. This is my journey and I am so lucky to have an amazing support system both within this community and by those in my life. I am so excited to see what the next year holds for all of us!

Hi Bill
Skinny mashed potatoes
4-5 peeled Yukon gold potatoes
Low sodium chicken stock
Dice potatoes into 1 inch cubes, put in a pt and add chicken broth to almost cover potatoes.
Cook until tender
Drain potatoes, save stock
Put potatoes in food processor or hand mash add chicken stock to desired consistency
You can add Parmesan cheese if desired and black pepper
They are delicious!!!!!

Has anyone noticed that almost every commercial on TV is about food or has a food reference in it?

I'm expecting to feel my old nemesis, Hunger, until I'm in the green zone (and then will continue to be on the looking for Hunger's skanky sister - Head Hunger). I've made my peace with it. I need this to work.

I'm a dude. We live to poop, talk about poop...everything poop! I felt no different after really. I had hoped I would. Good luck! Lol.

How are you feeling?

Banded 7/11 - pain is mild to moderate at this point. Trying to ween off pain meds. Need to clear my head for work. Absolutely starting stool softeners tomorrow after a miserable experience today.
