If you really feel you need to satisfy that pizza craving, go over to low carb friends for some recipes. I lost a lot of weight a few years back and I made lo carb pizza all the time:) Just use some common sense and stay as close to your DR guidelines as you can.

Interesting...

Can I just say---you look sassy!

It seems like having gone through the band makes the sleeve a whole lot easier. Mine never really worked and I had it removed during another surgery I needed. Excited about the sleeve!

To make your shoes tighter, use a foam insole. You can cut them any shape you like, depending on the style.

"Female problems". I am a female- I have problems.

If you were offered 1 million dollars to lose 17 lbs in 4 weeks, do you think you could do it?

QueenBee- Have you seen an Endocrinologist? Something is going on there. Could be hormones, as well. Find a doctor who will listen to you. Good luck!

Gin Babe- sorry you had to suffer so much. I had my band out a year ago with no problems and am completely healed. If not for the pain around the port, how do you think you would have done? Thanks,

60 lbs is great!! I do sympathize with the long hours and stress part:). The only way I can avoid emotional eating is to plan my meals ahead-even if that means eating the same thing every day. Goo dlck!

You need some nutrition:) What is on the menu for you tomorrow? I had some Autumn Squash soup at Panera the other day that was awesome--definitely planning on it for my soft stage:) It was kind of thick.

I had my band out a year ago, healed very fast, and don't expect complications. Fingers crossed.

Hi Allisong- You will find lots of support on this forum. So sorry for your loss, but it tells me you are a very strong person who can handle anything!

Of course you should tell the surgeon. Now go google "meditation" and listen to some calming music:) It's going to be okay.
