for the first week I was liquid only, but in the 2nd week I started to nibble on really soft things like scrambled egg and pureed stewed Tomato. it was fine.

I've heard a great line at a group meeting - "i'm eating less and moving more". the end.

I'm an inside sales rep for a manufacturing company. LOVE being a grandmother and mother. Professional face painter and artist, and looking forward to the holidays.

My most 'dramatic' moment was 2 days after surgery, when I was headed home. It was so exciting to know that I DID IT!!! My new journey was beginning. There I was sitting curbside in front of the hospital waiting for my car to come around and pick me up... and bang. I get a glimpse of myself in the glass windows right next to me. I had THE WORST bed-head, greasy, stringy, looking hair on planet earth. I had NO idea. I thought I looked like some kind of alien from an Arnold movie. LOL First thing when I got home was take a shower, brush my teeth, and then slept for 3 hours. Then showered again!

Stall is over! I've been losing about a pound every 2 weeks. and i'm totally fine with that. One thing new: i'm working with a personal training for the last month.. and I LOVE it!

I enjoy shopping in-store now. At first it was weird, because my brain was trained to go to the 2XL section and i'd go there and find out.. oh.. these are too big. Then the 1XL section, then the Large section.. wohoo!!! almost to the Medium section!!!!! I still hold something up and think: I will NEVER Get into this.. Then it try it on and I think... You GO girlfriend! Try to enjoy the journey!

Craziness!

i'm not losing as fast as i'd like, so I think i'm going to pull back on my diet a bit. other than that I feel good.

Putting buy small plates on my to do list

first I use a smaller plate. It is a learning curve to eat not only less, but to stop when you need to stop. it takes practice. I also set aside food just for me, in portions that work for me. it makes it easier. If the portion is too small and you need more, that's an easy fix. Easier than finding out you ate too much, too late. Take your time and you'll learn what works.

I too enjoy some diet coke now n than, BUT, when I order it at a restaurant, or where someone else is getting it for me, I impress upon them that IT'S DIET. RIGHT ?????? if they hesitate, I send it back. I'm a diabetic and have had experiences of dangerously high blood sugar because the server didn't think it important to give me diet.
