Dawn

Just happened to me for the first time the other night (with Chicken too) and it sucked!! I am 5 months out and have done so good thus far but I guess I got complacent.

Not feeling so good today This is what is planned but I don't know if I'll get it all or not with how I feel! 5 Months B - 1 cup coffee and trying to get a Protein shake down L - Sausage bites and cheese crackers D - ??? V - at night W - really going to shoot for a full 60oz today! E - if weather is good I plan to walk after work!

My thoughts and prayers are with you

WOOHOO!!!

So I have totally been letting my brain win this week I have been eating like CRAP and last night really did it! My roomies went and got chicken which is great cuz it's good Protein and such. Well I ate two chicken strips, a few fries and a 1/4 of a biscuit in a VERY SHORT amount of time and I was paying for it!! I came SO close to throwing up, it scared me I was actually in the bathroom with my mouth producing A LOT of "water" just like before I throw up but thank goodness I never did (#1 reason I did sleeve instead of band, I HATE to throw up). Now today, I have been in the bathroom twice before 0730 That is not like me and it's bad, stomach cramps and all I haven't been on here as much as I would like. Haven't been to a support group since I moved 2 months ago, haven't seen a surgeon or NUT since I moved either and I think I am just letting being around others who are eating "normal" effect me and I HAVE to stop that!! I still have a good chuck of weight to lose (even though I do feel GREAT!!)! I am trying to tell myself that we will all go through times when we could be doing better and that it's normal but dang, it's hard! LOL

YAY for Wed!!! 5months B- Coffee - Protein Shake L - Sausage bites and cheese crackers D - fish??? S - beef jerky and CPT Crunch V - at night W - 40oz down E - walked 1 mile at lunch and plan to do at least 2 mile run after work!

It's Tuesday and it's been a day already 5 Months B - coffee and Protein shake (full 60g) L - Sausage bites and cheese crackers D - no clue! LOL S - Beef Jerky and Cookies I NEED to get away from the cookies so I gave the rest of them away! LOL V - at night W - working it E - in and out today no real exercise though

SN..............Starting Wt........Current.......Goal.......Lbs to Goal Dawn..........176.4.....................176.4...........150.........26.4

Start.............Current...............Goal..............Lbs to go 192.8.............176.4...................175................1.4 So I didn't make this goal but I'm not upset about it, I know my body is still lossing the way it needs to and I am SO happy with my journey thus far!!!!!! Good Luck everyone and Happy Easter!!

I Have CTS and No the WL hasn't helped it! LOL The only thing I have found is really changing your behavoirs and physical therpy! I haven't got to the point where I want to have surgery (docs have suggested but I'll try everything else first) but I have very aware of how I sit, type, drive, etc! I should be wearing braces but have been feeling pretty good for sometime now since I have changed how I do things but I'm driving for 1 1/2 hours per way to work and back each day so my wrists have been hurting a lot more lately!

I have found that if I eat something with too much FAT in it I will be in the bathroom A LOT and painful cramping and such the next day but nothing because of sugar! So far the only thing that does it for me is regular ice cream (and it's not the milk because I drink milk EVERYday!)

WOOHOO!!! Congrats!!!

Good Friday! I'm not doing so well on this Good Friday 5 Months Post-op B - Coffee/Protein shake L - taters and gravy (went to a prayer lunch and the fish looked NASTY and taters was the only thing else that I liked!) D - Fish S - I think I'll do a Protein bar after work! V - at night W - working on it E - none today ;(

I second the being in a support group or seeing someone to help with the changes as well as HERE! I tell myself EVERYDAY that I did not go through all of this to not lose the weight and that helps me to remember when I try to put something to my lips! I have recently gone back to work and it's been a BIG adjustment for me. I am commuting 1 1/2 hour each way and I'm still "learning" so there is A LOT of down time so I want to snack! First thing I learned, if I don't have it with me, I can't eat it! Keep all those snacky foods away so you can't grab them! Second, Protein PORTEIN PROTEIN! I am honestly sick of all this protein but I know it works! Take yesterday for example (I was in breifings all day and traveling) I had a Protein Bar for Breakfast, a cheeseburger patty (ony the meat and cheese) for lunch and then some beef Jerky on the ride home and then eggs for dinner! ALL I ate was full protein yesterday and I felt FULL all day long. Are you still doing Protein shakes? I still have one for breakfast everyday! The third one is Exercise! What have you been doing? I have found that running is actually really good for me and I have started doing races! Also when I'm getting tired of running I am doing classes like Zumba or Step or a Spin Class! Water classes or just swimming is a Great option! If you want to talk more "off line" shoot me a PM or email me @ dawn.labay@gmail.com/hotmail.com since we were sleeved on the same day I really want to help you anyway I can!!! ((HUGS))

I am 5 months post-op and I'll be having some HAM!!! That will be the biggest portion on my plate and then maybe a few veggies and some taters!

SN..............Starting Wt........Current.......Goal.......Lbs to Goal Dawn.......don't know yet.....we'll see......150.......????? Since it's not the 25th yet I don't know where my starting point will be! LOL I put my BIG Goal as my goal for this! I have said a few times that it would be Awesome to be at goal by my daughter's bday in late June so I think by 4 July I should be able to do it! Right now I am at 178 so 28 in about 10 weeks is feasilbe, I think! LOL

I too am here to listen if you want/need someone!! ((HUGS))

Happy Hump Day!!! 5 months B - coffee (only 1 C instead of two though!) and Protein shake L - Hamburger patty with cheese and 2 fries from the Golf Course Grill D - Prob. a couple of eggs on toast since I'll be home late S - Beef Jerky V - at night W - working it E - step class tonight

Either of these dates are great as they are so close together plus an extra bonus for me! I have all along wanted to see how close I can get to goal weight by the 20th of June (my DD's bday)!!!

I eat pizza almost weekly now but I always eat thin crust if I can help it and I just eat VERY slow! I still can only get through maybe 1 slice of regular and if I'm slow enough, 2 slices of thin crust! YAY! I remember the days of being able to eat a whole thin crust myself! LOL

Just another Terrible Tuesday! LOL Nah, it's been Great Thus far! (5 months post-op) B - coffee and Protein shake L - Sausage and cheese crackers D - Ham and hashbrowns I think! LOL S - Beef jerky V - at night W - MUST get it in! E - not sure if I'll do 2 mile run or a 5K tonight after work!

I think we all go through times where we don't want to completely watch what we are eating but we have to remember that if we want to see the numbers go down then we do need to pay attention!! LOL How Awesome!! I am down like 67lbs now and feel GREAT! I have really gone all over the place with loosing and gaining but I haven't ever gained more then like a pound and it is always around TOM! I am usually pretty good with my protein intake - 75-90g a day but I do have my days where I maybe get 50g! LOL I can totally tell in the weeks that I don't get all my protein each day on the scale so I really try to get it in! If I have an actual plate of food I do protein first then veggies and never have room for a carb! LOL I drink before I eat and can sometimes do a few sips while eating but can't after I eat even though sometimes I want to! I am still thirsty ALL THE TIME no matter how much I drink but I never feel as if I'm not getting enough in! I am pretty good with my vitamin everynight and I have started to take a B12 every morning just to see if it does help with my energy. I'm REALLY tired since I started work again a month ago but I'm also commutting 1 1/2 hours each way through DC traffic! UGH! LOL My hair is also coming out like crazy but I have SUPER thick, curly hair so no one besides I can tell! My biggest pants were a 24 and shirt was a 2x. I'm now comfortably (going to be too big before I know it) in a 16 pants and a L shirt!

Good Monday Morning!! B - coffee and Protein shake L - Sausage bits and cheese crackers D - ? Not sure what my DH is making since he's here visiting this week S - Beef Jerky V - at night W - shooting for the full 60 today E - plan to run at least 2 miles after work!

I had bought a pair of MK jeans at ROSS awhile back and they were SUPER tight then and I thought I would lose and fit into them, well that never happened but I have held onto them! They were my FIRST goal jeans because they are a 14 and I have been a 14 in my adult life (not smaller though) and I have it that goal already and I have a feeling I don't be able to wear them for long so I'm wearing the heck outta them!! LOL I you Lanette I would just LOVE to be out of double digits someday but I don't honestly seeing it happen for me but if I could be a 10 or 12 that would be AWESOME! I was a 10 in high school (of course I was the big girl too) and I would LOVE to be there again!

Start.............Current...............Goal..............Lbs to go 192.8.............178.2...................175................3.2 I can say that I don't know if this will happen or not. I am usually right around 2 or less a week but I am SO happy with my journey thus far! I really wanted to weigh 175 by the 30th of April because that is my next race so I really think that can happen!
