Thank you so much for all the input. I did ask my doctor, but was banded so long ago...4 years in September...that I just needed a kick in the butt!! My refresher has been inputed and I'm back on track and better than ever!!!! You guys are so awesome and supportive and I can't thank you enough!!!

Oh Oh put me down for bikini too!! And the sleeveless shirts thing...and wear shorts...and get into running....and travel...oh i have a big one.... Ride and airplane without an extender for my seat belt!!!!!!

I can do half a piece of toast...sometimes...lol....but scrambled eggs are a major no no for me as well....however an over-medium egg is sometimes tolerable and soooo yummy!

I prefer afternoons, usually between 6 and 8....that way its not so hot and I still have time to chill out before bed... Oh yeah, and I don't do anything quickly in the morning...takes me till noon to get anything done for my groggy butt :rolleyes2:

Thanks so much for the refresher, you guys are the best! Now the 40 minutes of cardio 4x a week might kill me right now but I am walking every other day or so for 45 mins to an hour, I need to start slower and build myself up...341.5 pounds doesn't love cardio or move so swiftly and especially not hard cardio and weights right off the bat...but I am getting my butt moving which I figure is where I start! Part of my problem is a couple of years ago I was younger and the weight just came off by itself and I didn't have to do much...well that's definitely not the case now <bummer>! Ok question? I thought if you burned more than you took in that your body went into starvation mode and that made it harder to loose? Thanks again for all your help guys!!!! I CAN DO THIS!!!!:smile:

I loooovveee Unjury! It's my Breakfast every morning since I'm not a morning eater! I love the vanilla mixed into some skim milk or soy milk, it tastes like a vanilla milkshake that's actually good for you! I just take a cup of skim milk and dump a scoop (the scooper comes in the container, or one packet if your getting the sample packs) and just stir it up and away you go! Unjury also has super high Protein (21 grams per little packet) chicken Soup, it's just healthy stock pretty much, but if your especially tight one day it's a great alternative! I think a lot of people mix their unjury with water, but I just can't do it. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the plain, it's ok, just not as good as the vanilla, and the chocolate is good, just a bit odd....so I stick with my standby and I'm good to go!

You know Ginger that's a big one for me too! I love ketchup, and I haven't yet found a replacement...if you find something let me know!

I wasn't given a specific amount of time to wait...that I can remember anyway...but I'd say I didn't have any wine or anything for a couple of months...I'm thinking a martini isn't gonna hurt you, but I suppose it'd be best to check with your Doctor just in case they have specific rules and I was a bad girl =)

Ok you guys have me freaking out!!!!! 800 calories a day?!?!?! I've been tracking my eating and calories and all that, and I eat anywhere from 1200 to 2200 calories a day!!! and that's supposedly my range to let me loose 3 pounds a week!!!! What the heck is going on? I'm pretty tight, but maybe my calorie intake is so much higher because I have so much to loose? I' weighed 341.5 last Thursday at my Dr.'s office and thedailyplate.com is telling me that to loose 3 pounds a week I can have 2,179 a day..... I never eat that much, unless I go out and splurge or something...oh man, I'm totally worried....I feel so much better than I did a week ago, have been doing great and this fill has been marvelous....but now I'm kinda freaked out and confused!!!! :eek::eek::confused::eek:

HAHHA That's right!!! Me too!!! If there is one thing I love on the Earth it's a Oreo Cookie Blizzard...wow....so not worth it!!!!!!! Thanks for the info!!! Talk about an eye opener!!!

Well that's just crazy....I feel ripped off!!! Looks like I'm gonna have to go get a scale!!!

Yes fish is awesome for you but just remember, it's so individualized. Just be careful your first time....and good luck with it! If you ever come to KY we'll go have ourselves a Playboy roll!! It has eel and is soooo yummy!!! Let us know how it goes!!! 13 days, you must be sooo excited!!

You can do this sweetie. I'm kind of in the same position as you. I had done great for two years, then I got a bad bug and my dr. unfilled me completely and I was that way for a year. That's when the weight came back 100%. I was soooo depressed too, but you know what. I had to let that go. I had to or I would have eaten myself into oblivion and killed myself! So I am starting over, and I'm trying to be uber positive and telling myself I can do it! Some days are very hard, but you know what, if you have a bad day with it, so what?! Just start over the next day again. Let that one go to and just keep truckin'! You can do this my dear!!!! Let's do it together!!!!!!!!!!
