I think we all have to do that at times...

You've recognized it and caught it early...

Now you can get on top of it and stay in track...

Well done and good luck!!!

Thanks! It's definitely not easy!

No it's not...

But you're all over it...

Keep going!!!!

I have the same issue, I just can't seem to get enough water in my system! Ugh...I have recently begun to give myself reminders to drink, I use my iPhone to notify me after an hour has expired to DRINK!

It seems to be working, I'm starting to be more aware of getting water into my system now. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Robin what is the name of that app? I so need help reminding me to drink!

my surgeon suggested that i keep a bottle of water with me at all times regardless of where i am or where i go and that works for me. i can't forget to drink if i always have a bottle of water with me.

Wow!! Great news and congratulations.

u r an inspiration to all of us who have yet to have the procedure...congrats!!

Thank you all ! Good luck to you too!

Awesome!

congrats!!!

Thank you all so much! !

Yay!

I just had my 2nd f/u apt at 4 mos post - everything was right on track so I will hope yours is like mine:D

Keep up the good work !

yes!!!! those are THE best victories in my book - no matter what the scale reads....

They sure are!!

They sure are!!

You have to say how you made them, lol

Oh yeah! Just a warning, it is not a low calorie snack. According to the website I got this recipe from its about 180 cal per cookie.

Chocolate PB Protein cookies ( makes 12 cookies)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix together :

1 cup smooth peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup chocolate protein powder

2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

1 large egg

Form into small balls and place on baking sheet , flatten crosswise with fork

Bake about 10 minutes

Let cool for about 15 minutes to harden

There are always some type of snacks in my office. The way the people in my office eat, It amazes me that no one else here is overweight !

donuts are available about every week where I work. I consider it a challenge to look and walk away. I haven't caved yet!

Proud of ya ! Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I'm fighting for every pound

81 lbs gone!!! that's grat - keep wearing those boxing gloves (don't punch me though!!) keep up the good work - congrats kathy

Thank you kathy!!

I second the motion for PB2. It's yummy and a lot less calories than regular peanut butter.

I'll try that PB2. Regular peanut butter is just not agreeing with my sleeve.

Wascott, it must be a Washington thing...........any PB, mmmmmmmmm

For me I would rather have this new relationship with food and lose weight than be hungry and tempted by food. I needed this better relationship with food because the one I had was unhealthy.

I dont mind the change in my relationship with food. I just mind not liking what I have to make myself eat. Im actually glad the sweet tooth is gone though. I dont miss that.

I feel the same way so unless it's really flavorful I just don't care if I eat it. spice rack has grown.....

I am having the same problem I can get the protein in - just not the liquids

I think I'll try the G2 to see if it helps. Unfortunately I'm not really big on flavored drinks. I'm also having some trouble getting in the number of calories recommended by my NUT. It's because of trying to get in my fluids and my sleeve just wont let me eat very much. But i think im getting a decent amount of protein even if its not the 70 grams I was told i should get daily.

It can take some time (weeks, months) before you get there. Just keep doing the best you can with fluids and protein - they are the priority.

I tried coffee three days ago and had the same effect! Felt like a million dollars!!!

I'm a little nervous to try coffee. Not ready for that much caffeine yet Lol

I feel your pain. If I eat or do something that Miss Tummy does does not like, she makes me repent for hours.

Old habits die hard! 2 wks out and I have to remember to space my sips of clear liquids lest I get full too quickly

Thanks! It really is a relief and terror at the same time. I'm not sure which I feel more lol

Yea! Yea! Yea! Super happy for you and insanely jealous at the same time!

lol thanks lynnanne

Hi! I'm about your same height and weight, currently 5'4" 239#. My first consultation with the surgeon isn't until Feb 5th but I've been in contact with his office coordinator getting information, beginning psch eval online. I added you as a friend. Keep me updated with your progress and I will do the same!

Hi Lynneanne! Thanks for the add. I will keep you posted

I know what you mean!

I think we are all in the same boat, when it comes to being nervous... I hope everything runs smoothly. I should be done with all my requirements in a couple of weeks.. But idk. well see. good Luck to you!

Good luck to you too!

thanks!
