Halloween Challenge
Horrible week!!!!!! It was that time of month and I ate M&M's and frozen yogurt for 4 days straight!!!!! I gained 2lbs and now I am so glad it's over! I am not even gonna put my weight on the chart until the last day! Hopefully, I can get close to my goal by the first! Ugggggg, I get a fill on Thursday because I R/S my appointment from last week so I am sure I can at least lose 4 pounds this week. I am going to do liquids and mushys until Thursday. I hope....:huh2:.

No extended release meds ever?
Some medications can be prescribed as solutabs. My doctor issued me Prevacid that dissolves in your mouth without me even asking. She is so thoughful! I love my PCP she is the best!

pre surgery weight loss
I lost 13 pounds in the 4 days I was on liquids only. I didn't cheat so I am assuming if you drink slimfast, protein shakes, eat sugar free jello, sugar free fudge bars for 4 days it's possible. I didn't work out either. I was stressed though with my family eating burgers, fries, and cake all around me.

3rd fill - very disappointing
I was banded in February and really didn't feel any type of restriction until September. I understand what you are talking about. I was getting very small fills like .1 and .2 every time I went in until I got feed up and changed doctor's. I am not suggesting you do the same because .5 seems to be a good amount for your 3rd fill but I was like on my 7 month and she was playing around with me.:wink2:

Vit. D Deficiency and Obesity
Thanks for posting this. I was so defecient that my doctor put me on 14,500IU for one month on two different occasions. I took one pill every 7 days and I noticed the difference in my body at the end of the 30 days and I did lose more weight than before I started. By the ways I was scared to take one pill that contained 14000 of anything but it didn't kill me!

Halloween Challenge
Okay, I am really slacking here! I didn't lose any weight until Monday morning and that was 1 pound. I only lost that because I did the 5K race for the cure Sat. and it really kicked my tail. My knees have been sore since then! I am really going to have to kick it up a notch if I want to meet goal. That means 4 pounds this week and next week. I get a fill in two days so I might can do the 4 pounds this week because I will be on liquids after the fill but I don't know about next week! I am going to try my hardest though because it will feel really good to get to 310!

What's On Your Grocery List?
I think just about everything I eat has been covered already! I would like to add Special K protein bars (really good)! 10 grams of protein 170 cal depending on the flavor you choice. Adkins Advantage Dark Chocolate Royale Shake 160 cal 15g of protein. My fish of choice is talapia and tuna! I also make chicken salad like I make my tuna salad. Can chicken, light mayo, pickle relish, chopped pimentos, eggs, and seasonings. I put a little paprika in it also. Yummy! Oh, yea those can tamollys by hormel are really good! I only eat those on the days I have a taste for Mexican.

Good day at the gym!
That's great! I understand about the body aches! I worked out for 1 hr 20min on Sunday and boy Monday was a killer for me! My knees hurt so bad but I didn't let that stop me though instead of spending an hour the elliptical I did 20 and stayed on the bike awhile. Good luck! I loooooove going to the gym!

How is everybody doing???
I really wasn't motivated to work out. I just made myself do it! Some days are easy and some days I don't want to go but I was so tired of not seeing results. I am not one of those people that can lose weight without working out. Maybe one pound a week if I ate right 100% of the time. I hope you find your inspiration to workout before March. You can do it!:puke:

Halloween Challenge
Well, I finally made it to 319 on Thursday and I was so happy but I am still 319 on this morning. I guess I got to happy and didn't work out on Friday:( I tried to go to the gym yesterday to make the scale move so I can have a 3 pound loss for the week but nope just 2.6. My goal for the week was 2.5 I think so it's okay. Good luck everybody this week! Goal for this week is 3.:puke:

4 days post op....i licked a twinkie!
No, you are not losing your mind! LOL! I think there are plenty of people on here that did the same exact things or worse! I would chew food to get the flavor and spit it back out right after surgery! It felt so weird at first but I still do it to this day.

Movie Star
LOL! I feel ya! That's awesome! So far the only man paying me some attention at the gym would be a 70 year old! He waits for me everyday and lets me know if he thinks I am slacking!
