Lost 1,005.4 scoops of ice cream!!

Alexandra.... Have a wonderful time and enjoy yourself!!!

Yes, it is true...I found it....I found my "lap" today!!!! I am so thrilled....

Oh, how I miss chicken:cry

I will be praying for Christina and hoping for a quick recovery....please let her know I am thinking of her...thanks, Penni.

You guys simply rock....I know that when it gets tough I can always count on you guys to set me straight and give me the confidence to keep on losing. I feel better today especially since I went to my ob/gyn appointment and she was so thrilled with my weight loss....I was so thrilled I could lay down on that dang' exam table and was able to get back up myself!!!! Also had my mammo and she said that she could see so much more with my smaller boobs!!! Plus my whole boob fit on x-ray plate this time!!! Life is good....thanks again everyone....to hell with those pancakes!!!

Saturday morning.....feeling kinda of "blue" already.....I went to breakfast with a couple of friends. While I was trying to eat at least a half of my omelet (I have been very resricted after my last fill).....I started to watch everyone else eating their HUGE, YUMMY breakfasts. One women had a large omelet with all the cheese and ham you could imagine, hash browned, fruit, two pieces of thick toast with butter and pancakes...OMG, I wished for a minute that I could enjoy a breakfast like that. Then a man across from me was eating a huge beluigm waffle with blueberry filling and whipped cream on top. I wanted to eat like them...damn it!!!! I just don't know why I am feeling this way. Then today my daughter wanted Chinese food...so I watched her eat this delicious plate of chinese food, with fried rice and an eggroll....took two bites of the brocoli and came home and went to bed with a golfball in my throat. I am eating very little due to resriction, but I must be eating too much soft stuff as I gained 2 pounds this week....crap.....that makes me feel even worse. Thanks for letting me vent.....

Beans are a wonderful source of protein....another good "source" is your dietitian, not your husband!!!!! We do not have to diet per sec, we should be eating sensibly and healthy and enjoying life!!! Good luck....

I suggest you DON'T drink anything as this makes things worse....

Christina, I can remember a year ago and your anticipating the surgery....I remember the beautiful wedding dress on e-bay, too!!! Anyway, I recall how excited I was for you and how excited I was to have made the decision too!!! Great job this year....and congrats on the wonderful NSVs.

Enjoy your vacation, take advantage of having a great sitter (your dad) for the kids, so I suggest you wait until after your vacation.....

How long can you keep watermelon in your refrig?

My husband's company changed insurance companies (again!!) in February...the new company will not cover my fills. How should I go about trying to get them to cover the fills...any strageries that might work???

O.K., be honest....every single time you slime/PB you do liquids for 24 hours after your PB? Yes or no.....

O.K. sandwich lovers....I, too, miss holding a yummy sandwich in my hands...can't do the bread thing, BUT I found something even better: Flat Out Bread. OMG, I am in heaven! They are just like wrappers, but taste much better and are lower in calories. Plus they have fiber and protein, too. The original flat out bread is 140 calories per piece (it's big) and the light flat out bread is around 90 calories. They have several flavors too. I love them so much, I swear I could sell'em!!!! I found mine in the deli section of the grocery store. Enjoy!!!!

Mary Ann....days 3 and 4 will be the hardest days of your pre-op diet, then your body stops freaking out and it will be easier.....trust me! I spent days 3 and 4 crying and being real bitchy...my family wanted to sell me!!

I just PB'ed and slimed on chicken, once again, this week....so, I taking it off my list of things to eat!!! Someone asked about fish....love it and goes down nicely...most seafood, but shrimp work for me. I plan on doing tons of fish this summer on the grill....great Protein source and low calorie!!!

Promise not broken...."life" got in the way!!! I keep promises....but, I am usually late (to everything!!)

Prayers flying your way.....

I love Chinese food....just love it, but not anymore!! It gets stuck every time I try it....been about 4 tries now and I am over it. I have tried all types of dishes, but no luck. The only thing I can get down is an eggroll which is not the best choice.

Thanks so much everyone....I really feel like you guys are family!!!

Can anyone help with squeezing my signature so it is not a mile long? Thanks

Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone has missed me, but I am back again....the last few weeks have been very stressful. It's a long story, but to make it short....my wonderful sister is married to a major a$#hole and things are really getting ugly. So I have been on the phone (she lives out of state) with her most of my days. I only had one day when I did some "stress" eating, but even though, I ate healthier (no pies, cakes, Cookies or gallons of ice cream)!!! I just ate too much of the good stuff....that's major progress!!! Anyway, I have missed all of you.....I am going to try to catch up on the threads.....

NSV's ROCK.....congratulations!!!!! Here's to many more.....

Yes, it's happening again.....I have wonderful, comfortable rescriction THEN bam....I wake up and it seems gone. I just ate TWO HUGE bowls of chili with cheese and sour cream, for God sake!!!! I had a fill on March 28....thinking about another one next week.....crap.... Anyone else experience this kind of thing? In other words, overnight loss of rescriction?
