No game

Ok like the other three threads... I'm sure you are fine.

Like I said on your other two threads your fine..

Like I said on your other thread it's fine.

You are fine, enjoy the loss, it will slow down on its own...

I think butter went through that a bit too. And came out ok as far as no gain... I definitely know the feeling, after eating so much last weekend I was hungrier than ever and honestly felt no restriction. It literally took me all week to kind if get it under control. My problem was eating carbs though. I think it you are sticking to mostly protein and veg you should be good. Your body needs that protein to heal!

If you're not I won't tell!

Looking good girly!

The sugar might be to much and make you sick. I like buying pumpkin purée and mixing it with pumpkin pie spice nutmeg and stevia into my plain Greek yogurt yummy and lots of protein

Although I just said yay behind the scenes I'll say it here too. YAY RIBEARTY!!!

This is a hard stage for sure! But necessary for healing. You are on clear liquids? First off canned broth sucks! I did homemade, But also you can go to your favorite Chinese restaurant order a brothy soup and ask for mostly broth. Then STRAIN it really good and voila a good tasting meal

Jane, I'm glad you made it back to the states ok:) And yes FYE staying around really does help. I think my mood was so black I couldn't see straight.

Sassy I just read the whole exchange... While I can't tell someone here outright that they are off their rocker (that would be rude) I can say you are way off base in your assumptions about what transpired between you and the OP..

Lol thanks! I was startling to feel like I was in the twilight zone!!

Well. On the pre op liquid diet most of us had to stick to a certain plan. I would ask your nut before eating off the plan. For instance I was allowed to have Protein shakes and protein soup.

Are you on the pre op diet? If so what is your plan?

Yes stick to the plan, you are three months out still early in your losing phase. Push your liquids (at least 64 oz) Eat and record your protein and veg. And move! These are the important things.

Let's split off and make a 50 mile challenge so I can stop reading about the fitness freaks (braggers) and their 100 mile warm up before they start their real workout!

Oh the cold weather is a b***h!! I'm honestly scared about winter.. I did my best eating, lazing around and covering up as not to see the lumps and bumps in the winter

Ok I haven't checked for days but have been keeping track of my miles.. I've gotten in 23 miles on the bike. So 86 all together.

Been thinking about you girls... I've read all the posts that I've missed, and I truly love you all! My mind is foggy and I'm not sure I remember how to type! It sounds like some exciting news for some (vacations yay) and weight loss for others hooray! And holding steady for others (which is a feat in itself sometimes) an adventures in dating for others! Daisy he sounds like a superficial judgmental guy that lacks a filter. Trust me don't settle! Ok my week, it's been a mind game. I have had a rough time with food. I've done my fasts. I went over a little bit but trust me my mind wanted me to go over all the way! I've fought hard this week with insatiable hunger. I've talked about the "hole" and the need to fill it before, this week the hole was bottomless it seemed, and there were plenty of times I felt like falling into the abyss of it. I've been in a depression. Losing weight does not change everything as you know. I think part of the mind, mouth stomach struggle this week is a combo of things. The foods I ate last weekend just fueled my appetite that's for sure! And that in itself is so depressing! I'm coming up on my year, and it's a heady time. thinking about where I have been, where I still need to go and the struggle that I will always live with. It's not so easy for some of us huh? Just like life, it's the luck of the draw sometimes. Halloween is next week. It is driven by candy yeah? and I'm hoping to avoiding buying anything I like... So sweet tarts it is. Halloween is also my brothers birthday.. Addiction..... What can I say here, he was addicted to drugs and alcohol, he was also a successful man. Who fought his addictions tooth and nail so successfully sometimes.. a lot of the times actually. One day he got tired of fighting... He plays on my mind, because he was the stronger of the two of us I always felt. He was also my other half we knew each other's demons more so than anybody else. We were each other's witness to our past. You know our addictions were different, but actually he was fat as a child and it was most unacceptable to him. It was worse than drugs or alcohol to him.. His weight fluctuated a bit as an adult but like I said it was unacceptable. As long as he looked good that's all that matter and he did look good he spared no expense on his upkeep and went to spas and anti aging centers. He presented to the world, a very accomplished, well groomed, fit man. But behind the scenes the "hole" existed for him too. That hole scares me. It's about so much more than food, food is just what I fill it with. Even with the years of therapy it still exists.. Wow. If you read this far I applaud you! It has been a rough week. I have my anchors that help keep my from going to far adrift my husband my children (ok the are more like albatrosses sometimes ) And you guys... So here I am to fight another day.

Lol.. I think I need to go get my head straight! Good fast day girls talk soon.

Correction. It's 5 pounds up now. This truly is the story of my whole life, starve or gain. Forgive me, But I don't want to hear that I'm thin or pretty because I feel like a sham. This weight loss is so fragile, the fat and ugly is right below the surface, scratching, begging to come out. It needs only the slightest encouragement and comes through to remind me that it will always be there waiting and ready and able with so little effort. OMG I need a xanex and a drink...
