I found that starting a blog and talking to "no one" lol has helped so far. And apparently people like it lol. Just wanted to share the address.

Had a small amount. Chewed it til even more mush even low it was small curds. Tasted So good. No reactions. Glad I did it. Needed it. And as for breaking rules I'm only out 12 hrs. I haven't even been allowed shakes or anything just broth tea Water Jello and pops so I think I'm ok. Am waiting one hour before drinking anything, and as my family can attest to, I am in a WAY better mood now that something is litterally IN and on my stomach. Was able to get around 4 small spoonfuls in before i started to feel full. I actually felt FULL!!! Thats a first for me so far:) I know we have guidelines but i also know that everyone also knows their body and their surgeron. I have been great at following every order to a T even when I haven't wanted to. I think so far I have done great with all the distractions and my usual lack of willpower. Im just please it went well:)

Well I dont tend to allow myself anymore passes. This was my hardest week I think not only due to just fluids but because i couldnt take my meds rigth away because of the size. Normally I am very very good at holding back. There was just a lot going against me this week. I dont necessarily say it was the rigth thing to do but i guess for me at this moment it was something that was needed. Now had it been a small slice of cheese burger, then i would expect you to all be coming right to my door and yelling at me lol but def from now on Im on a no pass lifestyle. But I thank all of you for atleast taking the time to response. This was my second forum site. I really thought the other one was going to be my fav but they dont like to respond at all and I feel in a journey like this, response and in a timely manner is what will make or break some things.
Thanks!

I just know how many times I've failed myself with excuses as to why I should or should not. I'd hate to fail myself ever again, coming so far with this journey. And I'm speaking for myself not you ???? just to make that clear lol which I know is ????

I'm glad that you feel better, but I guess I was just cheering you on to wait.
Most of us gained our weight because we gave ourselves too many "passes." With me it's a mind thing. I need to know that I have enough self control to do what is needed for me to be successful. I will use this tool to my utmost advantage. I have learned new strategies and continue to learn as I go along.
I wish the very best for you and for all of us. Truly.

Feeling great in anything I put on
Getting off my blood pressure medication
ONEDERLAND!
I'm getting there and its amazing! Happy Mothers Day everybody

I just got back from Maui last week, and my sister and I walked a beach trail 4 miles every day! It was SUCH a great feeling to be able to do that and hardly break a sweat! I'm ready to go back....NOW!

Single digit sizes. I'm almost there

Riding bikes with my kids!

walking down the beach in maui and 1) not feeling totally windedand 2) feeling like i fit in with all the other normal-weight folks.
tucking in my shirt.
NOT being noticed
having only 1 chin

Looking foward to sitting at a booth in a restaurant comfortably...shopping in the regular sized section of the clothing store...wearing smaller sized shoes....being able to wear skirts or shorts

I'm looking forward to being able to :-
Sit on a bar stool
Not worry if the seat has arms on it in a restaurant I have never been to
Sitting in a plane without a seatbelt extension
Enjoying clothes shopping
Being spontaneous

I am looking forward to not being so hot and sweaty inside 100 extra pounds of insulation and being comfortable inside my own skin.
