Just got home from having six injections in my back. Dr.is doing medial nerve block testing. Hoping to have radiofrequency ablasion, which burns the nerves in my back that cause the pain. Have had it before and they are going to give it another try to try to keep me comfortable until is see the spine surgeon in June. Am gonna sleep the day away today. on a good note, I was 280 today which is 23 down from surgery date, April22.

My issue was that I never felt as big as I actually was. Make sense?? I would feel like I looked a lot better than I did. Then I would see a picture of myself and think, " OMG, is that me?" It was such a rude awakening that I actually was super fat! I have always been big, but when my back issues started getting worse, the weight just piled on. Hopefully in 6 months, ill actually look like I feel I look!

Stupid question here. With the tiny amount we eat, is buying sugar free ketchup, bbq sauce, and other condiments necessary? Or is the regular stuff ok?

Made a beef roast, shredded in mushroom gravy, with sliced fresh mushrooms. Also had a small teaspoon of mashed potatoes. The meat was really tender and went down good. Wasn't able to eat much as it was very filling. Did well on water today, but didn't meet protein.

I'm three weeks out, and to be honest, I don't think I could handle traveling. But as you said lounging around on the beach wouldn't take much out of you. I just still get pretty tired and have alittle left side pain when I've done too much. If you are just relaxing, you should be fine!

Happy Mothers Day! I have three children. Son is 22, daughter are 20 and 18. All are still at home which can be stressful, but we are family so we make it work. Married to a great guy, who has been my rock through this whole weightloss journey. Will be married 20 years in June and together 25 in August. My mom is the best there is. There are five of us kids. We spent the day together today, and she was so thankful. She just kept saying, " I love my family".

Great protein!

I simmered some turkey meatballs in some marinara sauce the other day. I was planning on eating them throughout the week, but my family LOVED them! So needless to say, they were gone the same day!

Hi all. Just wanted to say an early Happy Mothers Day to all of you! We did our families a great thing this past month by taking the step to get healthy for them! We are all strong, incredible women, and we deserve a great day in our honor! Hope you all have a great day, and enjoy every second!

That is absolutely amazing! Congrats on your success!

At my parents house for Mothers day dinner. I had some deep fried turkey, and green beans. Was so good! Not even hard passing up all of the other goodies around. Except for the pasta salad. ;(

I had a bad yesterday as well with food! Today is a new day! Hope you have better luck!

Everything I've eaten today is not sitting well. It is all food I've had before, but today, I just feel yucky after eating. Hope tomorrow goes better.

I just did the simple way. Crab, mayo, salt, pepper, and onion. Very easy but good

Hit 20 lbs gone today! Can't believe it, not even 3 weeks out yet. I'm sure I'll stall soon, but I don't want this feeling to end...ever!

Yay for you Krystal7k! Awesome job!

You are so lucky. What an awesome husband you have! Enjoy it!

You weigh it.

Mine is 60~80. I get 60 alone in the two protein shakes I do, so the rest is in food. Sometimes will have a nectar water drink as well. If you plan, its really not that hard to do. Of course some days are better than others!
