I agree, getting some daycare for a couple of hours 2-3 times a week would be the way to do it. Even if its only once a week. You need time for you. One of the reasons many of us got fat was that we concentrated on everyone else but ourselves so its time girl to step up and assert yourself. You have another partner in this life and he needs to support your efforts. Even if he works nites and sleep days he still can manuver some time for you to do your thing for an hour or two a couple times of week. Talk heart to heart and let him know your concerns and needs as well as listen to his. I know I can't be all things to all people and now must take a little time for me otherwise the resentment piles on and I go to food.... that is no longer an option so facing the issue may be a challenge but it will make you a better person.

Y'all are so right! I'm gonna make this happen! If there's a will, there's a way!

Nicolanz, I hope you can figure out a way to get to the gym so you have time for yourself. My daughter is raised and has a family of her own so I am fortunate that I can go to the gym as often as I like. I have found that going to workout is not only good for my body but my mind and spirit as well. Who would have ever thought I would enjoy going to the gym??? Lol beyond my wildest dreams!!

I'm soooo envious!

Just had 2 oz of turkey burger with bbq seasoning. I bought those tiny pre made turkey burgers thinking I could eat at least one but 1/2 way thru my stomach said no more..... I have several little containers with different stuff waiting for tomorrow. I am shy a week from completing a month after surgery (12/26) and I keep thinking soon I should at least be able to consume 3 oz of protein but no worries.. if it stays like this I am very content. I just eat every 2 hrs. to get the protein in

I still struggle to get in 2 oz at 8 months out but I'm happy for the restriction.

I'm almost 3 months out and can still only eat 2 oz of meat but I always have a veggie side too. I think I'm going to make chicken pot pie soup. I saw the recipe on skinnytaste.com. She has really good recipes!

The hard part is there is going to be LOTS of alcohol flowing but I have to make sure it doesn't flow my way 0_o

Yum that sounds good!!

Count me in! Anyone have suggestions for surviving a week in Las Vegas for a work conference while I'm on purees/softs?? I'm really wondering what I'm going to eat given that virtually all of my meals are arranged by my company. Maybe I'll just have a really, really good loss this week.

Soups and more soups!!

Maybe you will get a buffet style dinner and find some soft puree like sides.

Have fun in Vegas!!!

Ok I have a question about soup.. If we can't have liquids before and after for a half hour of our protein how on earth do we do soup?

I asked that!!! We have to mush the bits in our mouth so chew your soup lol

We look crazy eatting soup lol
