Hi! No I never said I HAVE to have junk food in the house but I do. I have two children in the 10% for weight and 2 that are average and one who's weight I need to watch. I have good and bad Snacks for them because that is how I was brought up and it taught me self control. I did not gain weight until age 25. I think if you deprive children of "junk" they crave it more and do not learn to practice Portion Control when they are around it. Believe it or not in my house with 5 kids we have Cookies and chips go stale because since it's common they don't go crazy when they see it. I on the other hand do reach for it when I am "starving"
At this time I am trying to get back into focus on myself...

That is awesome Diva! I got in a good amount of Water yesterday too. Not doing so good today but I know it's because I am out running errands. So far only 44oz so far. My eating is good, no more headache but I am dying for a cookie :/
Workout wise I am going to be starting the 30 day shred again and will be doing that straight through my surgiversary

i like the tiny plate thing lol that's cute!
i'd probably just be like -- i'm trying to eat healthier so i had some nuts before i came over, so i wouldn't eat so much... or "hey, i'm trying that roca labs thing where it fills up your stomach, so i can't eat too much!" lol

I work out 6 days a week (some days more then once in a day). I do tons of abs, I run, work with a trainer 2x week, etc. It is not gonna budge. I still think working out is more then worth it even if it will take surgery for me to have abs of steal :thumbup1:

Well, imo our stomachs are already very small. I think as long as we're putting Protein first then a few bites of this and that it will fill us. I try not to concern my brain with that too much because as it is I can't eat enough to even keep up with my workouts.. lol Once I reached around 8 mos out I began to eat "normal" sized portions. Any less and I just don't think my body would like it!
So, day 2 and yeah I'm eating more carbs than I should. I do have a headache though and I was able to get in just over 100 Oz of Water yesterday and so far today I've gotten in almost 70 Oz! It's only 10:30 am. I do like to get all my fluids in by early afternoon because I'll go to the bathroom too much in my sleep otherwise.
Other than that I'm doing rather good. I've been getting my workouts in big time in the last few days, and that in all honesty was my biggest concern of late.
Good luck everyone!! =D

Good Morning! Day 2! My headache is gone yay!!!! I am feeling better and lighter but I am not weighing until Friday

Oh yes Scorpio, in the beginning it is really hard to take in Water. You are doing well for as early out as you are, I just assumed you were further out lol!
I can't believe how good I am doing despite temptation EVERYWHERE! I also have myfitnesspal if anyone wants to add me: curvaceous76

I will be 11 months tomorrow and I never had that side effect of not being hungry. It really sucks because I think I would have been more succesful if I did. Every single day I have to fight my appetite, I have thought of ttaking appetite suppressants. I know they aren't a permanent solution but if they could just help me lose these last 50lbs :/

Thank you Diva I know we will! I belong to a few support groups on Facebook but FB and shopping had become my cross addiction so I have been facebook free 3 weeks and working on my shopping. I am trying to stick to only what we need and an occasional treat. This is also why I came back to VST (I used to have an account not sure what happened) to get the support (and give) to reach my goal

"A journey of a thousand miles always begins with the first step". I'm sure so many have heard this before... but what is the first step? I'll tell you. It is realizing you have somewhere to travel to. It is admitting and knowing you have something to fix or complete. Taking personal and full responsibility for it, and taking action.

I think the most important lesson we will learn post-op Sleeve is that this is NOT a magic cure. We will always have to work on keeping our bodies healthy and fit. So, if you need support to get back to where you need to be, I will always be here - as well as there being many others who are willing to lift you back up.

We're going to kick some butt in the next few days!

Pinky I am not starting until tomorrow but I have done all liquids today and so far drank 90 ounces of water! I hate having to go to the restroom lol! I just need to break this crazy stall and the bad habit I have picked up of eating junk again :/ I still have a ways to go and even if I don't meet my one year goal I will do my best to try to keep loosing! Lets see how much we can lose together

Lol! :wub: It is a lot of Water so start off slow, I read somewhere that when trying to lose weight the best thing is to drink 1/2 your weight in ounces of water. So for example since I am 189lbs right now I should drink 90oz of water

Good Morning! Having my morning coffee, after my liquid diet day yesterday I am ready to do this! I plan to have an egg with chopped deli ham and a little parmesan cheese I will have a little Click after that.

So I am not alone. They must not have cut out our hunger sensor. Most ppl dont feel hungry what I see on blogs. Esp in Obesity Help blogs. We must not be normal. UGH!!!! I will be 1 yr out nov 27. Its a struggle day to day.

Ok, I officially heart u! Lol lol. I am 4 months out. My surgery date was 5/25. Sounds good to me. I will stay on the boot camp extra time with u. My plan is to walk in the morning and drink ALL day. Uggh 126oz is a lot!

I started bootcamp 3 months ago, at 1 mo post op! I love it!!!

Hi, just saw your post. I actually started today as well. I didn't get all the Water in but I am still sipping. But today went pretty good.

I'm sorry, I'm just not following this statement. Is there really a woman (or man) that can avoid wanting/eating MORE chocolate? :blush5:

Hi! I am going to be starting Lil MissDiva's Boot Camp tomorrow anyone want to join in with me and have a support thread to log into these 5 days?

Thank you so much for your reply, I actually have been looking into something to help me out with weight loss. I know that I may get a lot of heat for what I am about to type but it it true. I have been thinking of taking over the counter diet pills to help me curve my appetite and this way I can make better choices. Bad. Yes I know.
