Vanity is a bitch.

PBing: Puking

Dont sweat it...Im 2 weeks out and the gas is FINALLY getting less agressive in my belly. Dairy based stiff KILLS me!!!!!! Good luck...it will subside.

Did you also she what she ate? Like 6 spicey wings, 2 jalopeno poppers, a daquirii...etc. Yeh I guess she would get sick :faint:

Keep focusing on the future. Thats what I am telling myself!

I went outside and washed my boat and my Jeep. I cleaned the inside of my Jeep and put these scuff guards in the door jambs that I had since winter...LOL. I cleaned 4 huge pots that I cooked crabs and Spaghetti with outside. They only sat for a month...LOL. Im trying to keep going. Its HOT outside! Im gonna go back out after a little brake and do some more stuff to my boat. I NEED to keep busy! Im still not hungry so thats a good sign :faint:

I KNOW EXACTLEY what you mean. Teachers I work with think I am gonna be all thin when I go back in September...Im thinking 1 month? No. I lost 30 so everyone around me is like man you are gonna be thin by Winter! Im like NOOOOOOOOOO...this takes a long time...it still gets discouraging. I have been sipping and I think too much Soup. Gonna focus on protiens and see how this week goes.

I ate lunch over an hour ago and am doing OK. Gonna ride my bike later. Thanks for the encouragement.

Im a bit depressed about this and no motivation to exercise! I know that is only hurting my cause. SO frustrated because I dont go in for a fill for another 4 weeks and I have the large band and Im sure 1 fill isnt going to do much. Geez this sucks!

I have been eating minced chicken, scrambled eggs, Tuna, some mashed potatoes, Soup. I eat around 6-8 oz at a a meal 3 times a day. Fluids and a small fugar free-fat free snack in between. Been sipping protien but not as much as I should. Its been 2 hours since Breakfast and if I didnt have will power I could easily eat right now. I know I could EASILY eat more at meals too but I am trying not to.

This is frustrating isnt it!!!!!!

I was down 35 lbs at one point and bounced back up 4 the next day. Water weight I am assuming? Thats was 6 days ago and I havnt lost a pound since. I havnt even had 1000 calories a day!!!! 2 weeks out this coming Tuesday. Did this happen to you guys and then the weight starts coming off? Oh...and I can eat 6-8 oz of feed and still not feel full. I know that I dont have a fill yet but what is the food just falling through the hole?? Frustration is not even close.......

Its hard but if you cant get through two weeks...what are you going to do when you want to cheat after surgery? Its better to get committed to this ASAP! Good Luck! I hope you do great!

I thought you were gonna ask some deep, personal...maybe sexual question....LMAO

I am very active myself...biking, fishing, kayaking. Im bummed because God knows when I will be able to lift my Yak (80lbs) to put on the jeep and in the Water. The sacrifice is worth it. Good Luck to you! A marathon....I couldnt even imagine! Thats awesome!

I had to do the pre liquid diet for a week and a half and lost 21 pounds before I got on the table. Since surgery on July 31st I am down 35 Pounds. I regretted it the day before...the day of...and 2 days later. The pain is subsiding and I am starting to feel like a normal person again. I was out and didnt have shakes or anything with me so I got a Fat-Free/No Sugar Added Cherry Ice Cream Cone. Its 97 degrees and I had to lick for all I was worth. 3 minutes later I was already FULL. I threw out almost the whole thing. It still baffles me that you eat so little but are full like you were at an all you can eat buffet. Next Monday I go to Mooshies. Im really glad I did this. I went out and rewarded myself with a new surfboard. 30 more pounds and Ill be in OC, NJ surfing again after not touching a board for 12 years!!!!!!!! It hangs for inspiration! Well...thats my update. I like hearing how people are doing day by day. It helped me know what to expect so I am trying to contribute.

First off...well done on the sweet date! Second...I told my girl if she asked me one more time if I was OK that I was going to take a big bite of bread and swallow it so I could finally tell her no!...LOL!!!!!

Your reading it...I had to watch her eat it! Thanks, I plan on making this work!

I had surgery last Tuesday July 31st 3 days of Clear liquids...then I had to get out of the house to feel human again!!!!!! Thursday Night: Ate a 1/4 cup of chicken broth at Boston Market...My girl had a beautiful chicken platter...LOL Friday Night: I ate about a 1/4 cup of chicken pot pie soup broth(creamy)..my girl had a scrumptious Fiesta salad.. Saturday Night: I had a 1/4 cup of Crab Bisque at the Anchorage...my girl had melt in your mouth fried scallops Sunday Night: Fat Free sugar free chocolate Fudge pudding...3oz hehehe dined in Monday Night: East Bay Crab and Grill..1/4 cup of shrimp bisque while my girl and freinds had soup and salads...maybe another quarter cup while they had Sushi, Calamari, Shrimp, Crabs, and warm bread...UUUUUGGHHHH!!!!!!!! LMAO..I SURVIVED and my girl still enjoys going out. She isnt fat so she can eat what she wants! I hate her..J/K I was satisfied every time and enjoyed being out. I figured it out...this food lusting is a total mind thing and you can still go out and have a nice time. I didnt eat any solids...just the broths. GO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME!!!! Glad he is supporting you. I just got engaged the weekend before my Surdery(July31st). 10 years to the month of just being bf/gf. She is so happy and never even pushed for it. She was SHOCKED! She told everyone it feels different after 10 years. I feel it too. I feel more connected. All that good from a stupid stone. Good Luck in your journey.

I too was regretting it the first 3 days but today is a week and I am very happy. I lost 21 pre-op and 9 more this week. It gets better.

How did it slip after 4 years?? Thanks.

I had a Rita's suger free Water ice the day after surgery. Well...I had 2 spoonfulls if that...LOL. It is a liquid. Same concept as Jello.....it melts. I got a small and 5 days later its still in the freezer 3/4 full. Its a nice treat. I dont think wine would be a problem. I think it depends on your tolerance of wine...reflux, nausa...etc. Good Luck!!

Congrats and good luck!!! Luv your name!!!!!!!!

If a half cup of BBQ sauce licked off a spoon is cheating...I CHEATED!!!!! AT least it was liquid:rolleyes: No fat but 15 grams of suger for every 2 tablespoons. I feel guilty as hell!!!!!!!!!! Im working in my freinds yard tomorrow. I'll sweat it out!
