After being within in the same five pounds for nearly two months, I took a stand two weeks ago. I realized I was starting to slip back into bad habits ... eating things that I shouldn't be and justifying it -- if I only have a little bit, it won't be that bad. I used to eat a lot more than this. Drinking more than I should be. Not exercising. Just getting very lazy about losing weight. And it was showing. My weight would be up a pound or two, then down a pound, then up a couple more. Things weren't going the way that they should. So I printed off menus online for high Protein diets. I've been following them for two weeks. I haven't been cheating like I had been. And it's paying off. Finally things are going the right way again. In the past two weeks I've lost 12 pounds!! It's great! And the best part is, is that it's re-energized me! It's made me want to really focus on this lifestyle again! I'VE LOST 72 POUNDS!! I just want to shout that from the rooftops! And although that's great, I know I have a long ways to go. I think that I'm ready to move on to that next step now. I'm about three and half months out from my one year bandiversary. I don't want to set myself up for any type of failure in thinking that I would reach 100 pounds gone by then. But I'm really going to work as hard as I can to see how close I can get! Thanks to everyone for listening! This board has been such an integral part of my weight loss -- even though I don't post a lot, I read daily. And your successes and struggles help me get through mine as well!!

Good for you. I am in the same boat. I hit 100 pounds and I have just fallen off my routine some. I still watch what I eat but I sneak a little something here and there and tell myself it is ok but I have virtually stopped losing weight. I am also in need of a fill, I see my Dr. today and hope to get one. Thanks for the inspiration! Good Luck to You.

I think you can do it!

I had started eating more than I needed to, and had to go back and retrain myself to take the smaller portion on my plate. What is on the plate is what I will eat. Just another lesson that I have to do the work, not the band.

Congratulations! I am soooo scared of slipping back into old habits. Like the old saying goes old habits die hard. What are the sites where you got these recipes from? That's about 9 pounds a month. I know you can do it. It will take all the hard work and dedication you can muster, but I have confidence in you. Keep up the good work! :D

I literally just googled "high Protein menu samples" or "menu ideas for high Protein diets" and tons of samples came up. This last week I followed a 1200/day calorie diet from

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
