  1. Please call your doctor. You have all the symptoms of a too tight band! It is not normal to have reflux, heartburn, or to be unable to eat a healthy diet. I hope you get this problem resolved. Good luck!
  2. Hi Everyone, I am going to start posting on here to motivate myself to get more exercise and get back to the gym. I had surgery a year ago and was working out 5-6 times a week until October when I started going through a divorce. Well, the divorce was just final and it is time to start exercising again. But somehow it is so hard to get motivated . . . I will post my first workout tomorrow. Pam
  3. Yesterday B: 1 egg L: Weight Watchers Lasagna S: 2 pieces beef jerkey D: tomato soup, tuna salad S: 2 cups of low-fat popcorn
  4. I had lap band surgery 7 months ago and my hair has been falling out like crazy for the last month or so - It is really freaking me out! I need to take chewable vitamins as I can't seem to keep the regular ones down. They get stuck and come back up. Any suggestions on brands, where to buy, how much to take? Thank you!!!
  5. I really like the weight watchers smart ones meals - the portions are good (I have trouble finishing them) and they taste pretty good too. Yesterday: B: smart ones breakfast quesadilla L: smart ones chicken and veggies with creamy parmesean sauce D: smart ones lasagna with meat sauce Usually I only eat one smart ones per day, but I had a crazy day yesterday . . .
  6. Hi Georgia Girl, I found your spaghetti squash recipe a few weeks ago and have made it once a week since. I love it and so do my kids - they think it is just pasta! Thanks for the great recipe! Pam
  7. Today: B: 1 egg white, 1/2 veggie sausage patty, 1/2 slice low-fat cheese, 1/2 slice light wheat bread L: south beach diet frozen entree - meatloaf with green beans S: 2 tablespoons of low-fat tuna salad with 4 pita chips D: salad w/ light dressing, 3/4 c. baked spaghetti fake-out (made with spaghetti squash) S: 1/4 orange
  8. I had surgery on Jan. 23rd, and my doctor said that alcohol is fine. I usually drink 3-4 glasses of wine per week, but I make room for the extra calories by doing extra cardio on those days.
  9. Yesterday: B - low carb protein shake L - grilled salmon over salad greens D - at Mexican restaurant: 7 chips with salsa, 1/3 chicken breast with mole sauce, 1 tablespoon of beans, 2 margaritas (frozen, no salt)
  10. For today: B: low carb protein shake L: low-fat tuna salad over greens with balsamic vinegarette S: beef jerkey, small apple D: scallops provencal, fresh steamed zucchini, whole wheat couscous S: I am planning on having a glass of wine after my kids go to sleep!
  11. Hi Everyone, Okay - I started the program today and it went well. I have been doing 1 1/2 hours of cardio 5 times a week (but no running) so I will have to get used to the running. Today was easy, but I have a feeling that it is going to get harder . . . I am hoping that my boobs will shrink as I lose weight, if you know what I mean . . . How is everyone else doing on the running program? Pam
  12. I have looked for the stuffed chicken breasts at the Walmart near my home, but I can't find them. Is there any where else I can buy them? For today: B - low carb protein shake L - South Beach Diet lunch kit: chicken ceasar wrap S - 1 piece beef jerkey, small green salad with low-fat/low carb italian dressing D - few Fiber One crackers with spinach dip, Baked Spagetti fake-out (made with spaggeti squash - I found the recipe on this website)
  13. Today: B - low carb protein shake L - 1/2 grilled chicken breast, salad greens w/vinegarette dressing, few sprinkles of blue cheese D - beef stuffed eggplant (recipe from the South Beach Diet cookbook) Pam
