im only 3 or 4 days post op and i am not able to go into my kitchen yet. i feel like my kitchen is a dangerous zone filled with tasty land mines just waitin to derail my progress. i am lucky to have a boyfriend and kids that r very supportive and very helpful. i cant wait til i can go to my kitchen again and not wana eat everthing in sight..

My surgery is in may 22nd I've decided on purging my kitchen. If I don't I'm setting my self up for failure. I'm getting ride of the bad and ugly and keeping the good. It's us bandsters against the world from now on. Don't worry we got this.

I'm extra lucky this time around....it seems like we are all on the same page for once. Everyone is trying to be healthy for reaon or another. My husband is in the Army and has mandatory weigh-ins---he is always boreline line at 170 lb., so he is wanting to loose a few. My oldest daughter is 17 and has been diagnosised with PCOS she has gained 60 pounds over the last year so he wants the weight off asap. So she is working hard too. My 13 year old son has discovered girls so he wants to "buff" up so he has lost 30 pounds and looks great. And well my youngest daughter is the health nut in the family and lost 30 pounds playing soccer and is our cheerleader (all 120 pouns of herself). Between all of us we have lost a whole family member....at least one of the skinney ones.--feels good

There is no junck food i the house...nothing. Makes life much easier. And the grocery bill has drooped significating as well!!!

We are putting any extra money we are saving into a jar for our family vacation.
