How have you managed to stick with it???

I only do it for about two weeks. It's always tough, but it can be done. Good luck!

Hey there lady....Did you change your name? Anyway I saw you before and after pic and you look great! You look nice in your profile pic too! (Get it girl!)

not sure if you got my other message, but why are you doing liquids again, are you getting back on track? Im still new so Im just trying to gather as much as i can from others experiences ...yes I know everybody is diffrent, but just wondering????

Have a good day and keep of the good work.

PS

how did that cream of celery taste? Celery itself is blah....

I always see it at the store, but i use cream of chicken or mushroom in my recipes

Thanks so much! It's pretty good!

Good job on the running and walking! I am looking forward to riding my bike again and hopefully jogging too! I can't wait to see whats when I loose my fluffy parts! Best wishes Thanks for posting!

Wow! Thank you!!! Best wishes to you as well! You can do it!

I know this liquid diet really bites.... but you can do this!!!

Thank you so much!

OK. not to be mean, cause I do not know you, but are your postings just for you? I find them a little boring and not very informative.....PLEASE dont be mad, i have been trying to follow you on your journey, but Im like ok nothing is goin on..it just says what you did ..and no comments about how you are feeling and what your progress is ...These just seem like it should be in your personal journal...

You really, don't have to follow my entries at all! I mean you're making that choice...my progress is steady. Just because it is "boring" to you it may be helpful to others!

Wow! you are knocking it it out of the park. Can i be like you when i get my band? Safe to say this working well for you. Please keep posting - i am so inspired by what you've done.

Awww how sweet!! thanks so much!!!!! I will definitely keep you posted! Good luck with you band journey! God bless!

Awesome job keep it up

Thanks!

U are post 6 days and running3 miles/? go girl

OH NO!!!! I was banded almost five years ago! LOL!

I'm 5 days out and still having some discomfort from gas pains between shioulder blades. Uncomfortable still sleeping at night. Have you expereinced this yet,

Angie, that will past in time, don't stress. When I was banded I didn't get over that for months. It will be okay! Congrats and good luck!

I drink protein shakes and shots...I do have some soups from time to time. I just don't want the extra calories when I'm focused.

Oh yes, I'm five years post-opt! LOL! I just do it to give my band a break....

Okay, I went ahead and had a Protein Shot 26grams and 4oz. of Cream of Chicken (watered down) next.

I remember those days, seems like it was just yesterday, and it has been 4 months since my surgery. You will be back to eating solids before you know it.Congrats!and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE NEW YOU

Thanks! I was banded almost five years ago, and I like to give my band a break from time to time, so I go back on liquids! Good luck to you as well! And Happy New Year!

Lots of tea, water, jello, onion soup, protein drinks and watery green pea soup- all decaf all sugar free..

Yes!

Good luck, I am on day 7 of post op liqueds. I usually add some hot green tea lemon flavor with no caffeine and broth once a day.

Sounds good! I'll try that! Thanks!

Hi Sunshine2!!! LOOOONNNG time no hear, huh?! Seems like you're still working HARD!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!

As I was running this morning it hit me that today is my two year Baniversary!!! And I am so proud of myself!! Two years later, three fills and now with no restriction:cursing:!! I am on a mission to still meet my goal though...170 where are you:confused:??? Hey others have asked me where would I get thirteen pounds from anyway, but oooh there are plenty of places!! Haha!!:tounge_smile:

Hey girl!! How have you been? Can you believe it is almost 2 years??!!! I hope all is well...

Be blessed

You ALL are so right!!! I constantly get negative vibes from women. My mom and I was just speaking on this yesterday....it is really sad that other women won't celebrate others! But I am going to remain the same confident women that I am. I would rather not have girlfriends, because they are very envious at some time or another and I one that can go to work, dinner, and to a movie alone and be as happy as I can possibly be. And I thank God for that. Ladies you all are beautiful so continue to shine!!!!

God bless

Wow I can't believe that 2yrs ago today I was preparing myself to be banded on January 11, 2007. Sooooo much has changed since then and I do mean SOOO much. But I thank God that most of the changes has been good changes. However there were others that were bad and scary. Just to elaborate a little my job was relocated and I had to find another, but thankfully I found one a week later. On a more personal note I have maintained my weight and exercise for almost two years. Although I am not at my goal of 170 I am working really hard on accomplishing that goal by January 11th 2009. In a few hours I will begin a new chapter in my life and I must admit that I am looking for to leaving a lot of people in 2008. I am looking forward to not being too nice, don't get me wrong, but when I say that I look forward to not being too nice, I mean to people that do NOT deserve me or my kindness....can you believe a very special person that I hold close to my heart said that me being too nice was "wierd" I was atonished! I'm like damn shivery is dead indeed! But that person is one of the ones that I plan on leaving in 2008(but I will need strength). Anyway I am getting to windy here so I wish everyone a Happy and FULL New Year(the #9 means fullness and FAT in the Hebrew language(I hope I got that right)) meaning that one will be full of blessings and it also means re-establishment and return. I expect God to re-establish me in 2009 and give me a return on everything that I have lost in the past years!!So Happy New Year and great blessings!!!

Be blessed!:confused:

Trust me I know what you mean!! But you can do it!! I've been on liquids for a week and one day. I'm just trying to lose a few more to reach my goal by 1/11/09. It is hard in the beginning, but I'm hanging with it. And I actually don't want any solids until Christmas Eve. So far I have lost 7 pounds.... so hang on in there!

Be blessed!

Wow! Where did the year go! I can't believe that it is almost my 2 year band anniversary!!! Lord! But I thank God that I have not had any problems!! I am really trying hard to meet my goal by 1/11/09 without RESTRICTION:angry_smile:!!!! But I have been in range of it....so I will see! Anyway I hope all is well with everyone!

God Bless!
