No game

I love stevia extract and I consider it natural as it is from the stevia leaf and minimally processed.. Funny how we care so much about such things now.... I'm sure we weren't quibbling over artificial when we were stuffing pizza and Oreos in our mouths

Lol... I don't think she's that high on pain meds... And would one have to take a Protein pump inhibitor afterwards???

Girl... you know I had to take it where I can get it with you! You damn brainiac

Proton pump inhibitor... Muahaahahaha..... this is my one and only chance to correct you, so I'm taking it!!! :::: Laura runs from the room, into the kitchen, grabs an Oreo and stuffs it with glee and self satisfaction::::::

FYE yay for the scale!! Yep elkhorn slough is great! And awesome bird (among other animals last time I even saw a ray) watching. If you buy a kayak that is a must travel spot.

Yes good luck on your run! And ouch on the wrist. As for me? I took butters advice and shopped! (And sped around in my mid life crisis car) Lord someone tell me to get out of the juniors department

Oh confession, there are many... But one night I stuffed a Protein bar in my mouth and ate it real quick before my husband came back into the room (a recovering sneak binge eater) Oh and revs what's a protein pump inhibitor??

Dont you know we are not supposed to use straws!! They will blow up your tummy!!

Coops you'll see the 150's soon! I know I've been really good this week and have been pushing my fluids (90+oz) that always helps.

Yes! Because I want "sooth" and "nourish" myself. I think in my case it's probably not true hunger it's just the mentality that food heals my ills. Sorry your not feeling well.

•••laura comes running in•••• Hey anybody in here??? The scale said 154 today! That's a new low number •••runs back out with a smile on her face and hope in her heart•••

I like the Caesar Parmigiano this last time though I bought the ranch.. It's ok but the Caesar has more of a flavor kick so I like it better. Came in so far at 475.. Lets hope it lasts!

Girl, you just helped my decide what I'm doing for dinner!

I wonder how one of those would fit into my itty bitty tummy.... Hey hey hey!! Don't judge! I didn't get this surgery to be on a diet for the rest of my life!

What what what?? They make almond ones??? Where have I been!

Their not???? O,o

And I for one love you and your non believing Aspie ways! Your BFF, Laura

Could this be it??? http://m.livescience.com/20654-autism-belief-god.html

I think a lot of us got here because we have a problem with food. Not just "hey I don't really know about good nutrition, what is it??" But an addiction to food (among other things sometimes) I for one will always be at risk to regain the weight and become actively addicted again. I suggest counseling to a lot of people not because I am judging them. But because I know what it's like (having an issue with food) and have had intense therapy myself. The fact of the matter is some here will be successful and some will not with long term weight loss and the sleeve. If I can help one person by suggesting therapy. That's one more person that won't show up here a year from now upset at regain.. I did not judge or beat up on the op.. As a matter of fact I wished her well twice! I've held my tongue since... But before this becomes a total them against us fest I would suggest we get back on the original topic which is eating solid food right after surgery. I read the original post, and gave my best advice in answer to what I saw written there. I see that others have giving awesome suggestions too. Again to the op, I hope you find your way. Laura

Ooooh.. That sounds good! I'll do that tomorrow!

Ok ! 20 miles today and I cleaned two fish tanks! So suck it!!!! Oh.......to much??? Hehehe... Just feeling excited and productive Anyway total is 88 miles
