Ok May banders I'm ready to move on pass all the surgery and liquid diet part. I need someone that I can check in with every night. I need some one that will be my partner that I can tell all of my cheat and victories too. I need some one that will not be afraid to yell at me when I didn't go to the gym like I was suppose to or follow my diet correctly or to cheer me on. I will share my ups and downs. Now I don't have a problem posting to every one here in our group. But If that is what we all agree on than every one will have to check in every night or you will have to post the night before that you will be on vacation and returning on a specfic night. So I'm listening let me know what every one is wanting to do. I think every one of us needs help thru this journey. It is going to be one heck of a bumpy road.

Sounds like you've been busy busy busy. A gain is always hard but now you know what you need to do to get back on track. I've noticed since I was sick last week I'm a little more lenient on myself, drinking a glass of juice every day. Nothing wrong with juice but with me it's a slippery slope. SO no more juice for me for a long time.

Lol yes I have to say Natalie its not easy AT ALL!!! I am on day 4 yoga and I am SORE!!! But I made a promise to myself I would start my 30s healthy and trim. And my birthday is Dec 20 so I need to get my butt in gear!!!

Y last dr apt he didn't fill my band because I had a 10 pound loss which is great! I keep hoovering 206 and more the "Onederland" has been dangling in front of me for about a month or so.

Today's meals were not good at all I had time enough to eat on the go a yogurt bar for breakfast too busy at work I didn't eat lunch I'm headed home now to supper!

OMG, I can only imagine! You're going to hit 30 being healthier than you have ever been. I bet you will be in onederland at your next appointment. I can't wait to get there too.

Some good news.. I AM NOW DOWN 100 LBS!!!! That was a big goal of mine. YAY!!! I believe about 55 of those lbs have been after my surgery. If I can afford it, I am going to get professional pictures taken and also go on a shopping spree. I have an interview on Monday so thats an excuse.

Something I need to address with my doctor next month - I struggle to get even 900-1000 cals in in a day. Like today, I have had maybe 650 so I have to eat a yogurt and a banana late night just so I am not extremely low :-/ Am I supposed to be eating unhealthier food just to consume a higher amount of calories? I don't get it. Lately I find myself sleeping in very late, sometimes not having "breakfast" til noon, so that doesnt exactly help. I am glad I'll be temping soon so I will be on a schedule.

Breakfast - 5oz yogurt

lunch - 1 bbq chicken leg, 2 baby carrots

dinner - 6oz spicy beef chili with cheddar cheese on top

snack - tea, Water, vanilla greek yogurt and banana slices (will have this later)

WOOHOO NATALIE!!!!!! That's is amazing 100 lbs!!!! I can't wait until I hit that 100 lb loss!! You should treat yourself to something nice!

Good Luck on your interview on Monday!

Went to the dr today because I have been STRUGGLING!!!!! I was there just two weeks ago but he didn't fill me because I had a 10 pound loss because life change with being so busy! Now that work is slowing down I've gained and have been starving. Long story short they filled me she told me I have very little in my band they have only been putting .5 in my band when I got my 2 previous fills so today she put a full 1cc and liquids for 2 days since there is more and to make sure I do okay with it and if any problems let her know ASAP so we shall see how this goes!!

Definitely sounds like a fill was much needed! There is nothing worse than being in a constant state of hunger! Hopefully this will make it easier to keep on track. Remember to chew and be careful those first few days.
