  4. same as ktsped i was on break for a week. I went back and was find but had to remember not to carry
  5. I have. I had some out a while ago so now not so much. I will be getting 1 more fill in a week and I have a feeling ice anything is out
  6. I can eat 3-4 oz of chicken. Apples and broccoli are totally out for me. I am not tight but only you will know
  7. Quinoa. If you lke it. Look up Rachel ray's recipe for orzo and chick pea and replace quinoa for the orzo delicious. It goes far wendy
  8. target has t's brand cheap. Ungury is the best but $$ To change the taste a bit I flavor with SF jello pudding powder. I use 1 teaspoon like cheese cake or butterscotch
  9. The most important thing you should know is that everyone is different. Some people can eat things others can't. People lose differently. Some of us are slow losers and some are faster. Follow the rules and drink the water and when your dr says its ok exercise. Good luck Wendy
  10. Call dr. Beng over flled leads to bad complications. wendy
  11. I agree call dr. It could be either to tight or just being swollen
  12. Lots of us are tighter in am. Try something hot to drink . wendy
  13. think tofu doesn't have t's own flavor unless it says specifically a flavor. It takes on the flavors of what it is cooked or mixed with. Be careful cause it comes in different textures.
  14. kale chips dont taste the same but do the trick
  15. zinhaa replied to Anume 937's topic in Fitness & Exercise
    great job
  16. Take your time. Be there when you eat( being mindful). Put your fork down between bites. Take the time to cut really small pieces then use chop sticks to slow you down at the beginning
  17. I had 2.75 out and they put a little in at a time more than at beginning but not all at once. Wendy
  18. woohoo
  19. tmf, Long story short:- Jan last yr was a fill continued losing.

So i haven't been at my sept weight since then . Scale hasn't offically moved n 2+mo Wendy
  20. CANNOT LOSE GRRRR Journaling,exercising,eating 4 oz of protein at meals, no bread,rice, or pasta. Tried upping protein with protein powder, switching exercise and food. Drinking my water. I feel restriction so don't think I need a fill. Refused one last mo. My nut in office is ditzy. Band' o Band what do you want me to do tell me i'll do it. 28 lbs to go ... Wendy
  21. sorry your normal. BTW you are not taking the easy way out. You will be working hard. Also I go out to eat and some of the things you used to eat you will be able to eat just differently. Some things you won't and really not miss them. The smaller sizes and the healthy feeling you have will be worth it. Good luck to you and congrats with your decision. The day I went for surgery i was in the hospital and turned to my husband and said i still have time to change my mind and leave. 2+ yrs later glad i stayed and had surgery. Wendy
  22. Everyone is dfferent it also depends on where you are in your journey. Sometimes i can down a lot other times i can sip.
