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.

Hello Daisy

Sorry about the no show for awhile I haven't even been on to read up on everyone!

Since I had Fluid taken out I have gained 12 pounds back ugh! I just went NUTS!!!! FOOD! I mean if it was there I ate it! Shoved it in my mouth everything I completely lost control! So now I'm

Slowly taken back control and down 5lbs and now I have to lose 7 more pounds until I am where I was before I had some fluid taken out. I honestly don't think I'm going to have fluid put back in I'm going to go until my next appointment before I decide if I need more fluid. I need more self control when life gets crazy and not just let go!

Daisy you have been doing great! Dont let 6 little pounds set back the leeps and bounds you have came! Remember where we started and how far we came!

Breakfast oatmeal and yogurt

lunch spinach and tuna salad with banana peppers and feta cheese

dinner tomato basil Soup and fish crackers

Hi Lose_It! Great to see you back here.

Every day, the temptation to slip back into old habits is there. I feel it too and I know what you're going through. I am really proud of you for getting down those 5 lbs and I know the 7 remaining lbs will come as you continue to work at it. How's your exercise going? Thank you for your encouragement.

I lost my job today. Wednesday will be official last day. I was a temp, but they kept me 2 extra months and told me I had the permanent job. Then they tell me they have decided to go with someone else. I feel blind sided, and depressed. All I can do is try to re-group over the next couple weeks and see the positive in it. More time to focus on my health and exercise.

Hi everyone! Have a great holiday, remember to treat yourself to the foods you really love, and skip the ones you don't. And of course stick to our bandster portions.

I went in for my monthly check up today. No fill needed.. still in the green zone and down 8 lbs since last month. My doctor is very happy with my progress. However, she thinks I may have acid reflux due to the severe metallic taste I've been having in my mouth. For now she wants me to just watch it and take tums. If it continues we will try prilosec.

Today was my last day at my job so.. back to being unemployed. pretty bummed.
