His hair always looks a mess, he stays next to an a*****e, his family is nuts, his best friends are ******* and his owner is always beating him.

Told you don't mess with my girls!

Since I'm the oldest one in the club, I feel the need to protect my peeps. I call it "My mother bear syndrome".

It can get ugly!

So I have a question to all of you.

Do you eat only 2 oz at a time? I was never told that. I was told 1 cup/meal. (4 oz protein, 4 oz veg, 1 serving of fruit about an hour later) I was also not told caffiene was bad. I was off caffeine for 2 weeks after surgery, but I was given clearance from the doc to have my coffee and tea...heck, that's pretty much all I drink (I can't stand plain water--it's yuck! LOL).

I'm still on full liquids until Nov. 16

but ya, 3-4oz protein eat first, 3-4 oz veggies 3oz carbs I only get 20 mins to eat and if its nots done. Too bad!

As long as your Dr says caffiene is ok, it's ok. I think at first it was just to keep you from dehydrating.

I don't drink caffiene , I drink Chai tea and I love water lol. I was having a problem after banding b/c I was drinking to much at once. I'm always thirsty!

Ok, i drink coffee every morning. My meals are 3-4oz of protein, 1/2cup veggies if I'm lucky. I drink wine every night and have a snack after dinner. I have lost 68lbs in 9mos. That works for me.

I say find what works for you and go with that. Make it a life style, not a diet.

Just my opinion.

Oh my beautiful Yellow Rose is here!

I will always protect you my little cute fuzzy cub!

BB was causing trouble on another thread.

She thought maybe we wouldn't want her in our club.

I told her I was proud of her!

I agree AJ..it's definitely a lifestyle, because I can't stick to a diet! Full liquids for another 2 weeks...EEEEEEEK! I know I did it, but I have no clue how. It seems like so long ago. YOu'll get back to real food and liquids will be just a brief moment in time!

I have lost 50 lbs as of today since surgery. I'm pretty pleased with myself if I do say so. I have never been able to stick with anything to lose 50 lbs, EVER! I don't feel deprived at all. I eat what I want (what my band will let me--he doesn't like rice, or biscuits--What's a southern girl to do?)

I work at a University--I'm everybody's mama! LOL I could use some Momma Bear in my life~!

I have been dieting for months now, so the full liquid phase doesn't really bother me, thank goodness!Just can't wait to eat kinda normal. I hate fixing dinner for hub and then make something for myself.

Oh,your band is a guy,hmm? Gotta name?

I'll be your momma bear. Whenever anyone messes with you, just come and find me.

I saw on your status about the 50 lbs. That is awesome, so proud of my cubbies!

Real food and "chewing" will come. You can do it!

Thanks. I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm using Scale victories for now, because I'm not having many "clothes victories". I'm still wearing the same clothes from 330 lbs (THey must have been really tight, because most of them are just barely loose). I'm still wearing 24-26W. I even tried to try on a few things smaller, but NO GO. I'm ok though. This too shall pass. That's enough whining. On to smaller and better things...

I was going to say maddy is mamma bear but mamma bear bet me to it. Love mamma bear!!!!! You go girl, 50 lbs is something to be very proud of! You will see the cloth victory, it will sneak up on you. Be proud of yourself, you are doing awesome!!!!!

I say "he", but mostly I refer to it at "b***h". My b***h is tight today, my b***h hates me today, or my b***h is being nice. LOL

All I have to say is my b***h better behave when I go to DisneyWorld in December (I DO NOT plan to over eat, but I do plan to enjoy food while I'm there).
