It's a lovely day in the neighborhood!

A new day has begun! My Breakfast was so yummy!

Day 2

S- 1/2 LowCarb Slim Fast before riding my bike

B-1 fried egg on top of Morningstar Farms Griller, half slice of 2% cheese

S- cottage cheese

L-3 oz of ground beef patty

S-Activia Yogurt

D-3 oz of ground turkey patty

S- Jello SF with FF/SF Whipped cream

dandilion tea with lemon, splenda cranjuice

exercise: 35 mins on my cycle

hydration: goal - 94mls of Water and crystal lite

Good Luck PB buddy!

(yesterday, my calories were 1172 and my Protein was 89)

Love,

dee~:wink2:

Don't forget to get your toes done, have your camera by your scale and be ready to snap that picture when you hit Onederland!

I loved it when I hit Threederland! (is there such a word?)

I took like 10 pictures til I got one that was clear!

My toes are so cute next to that 396! One day I was 401, the next I was 396! I totally skipped 399! NOT complaining!

Just be ready, you're so close!:biggrin::wink2:

I plan to take my scale out near the dock the day I hit 299. I'll aim my camera and take a nice photo of my toes on that scale...which are painted art deco by myself at the moment.

I so want to be in the 200's it will be a HUGE success for me.

soon soon soon

I wish I could do my own toes!

I tried once, they looked like a Kindergardener had done them with a huge blunted crayon!

ARGH!

I can't wait to get to the 200's! The day I arrive at Twoderland, you'll hear me screaming with joy all the way over at your place in Florida, Lapdancer!

Hi Banders - Just checking in. I'm feeling good and can't believe I've already had the surgery because there is very little pain. Today is my last antibiotic day and so far have made it without any mishaps (you know what I mean?) I'm experimenting with the Protein Drinks since I still have a little while without "real" food and have found a few things that I can handle. I have not lost ANY weight since the surgery. I didn't know how long it would be before I started. I'm guessing my body thinks I'm going to starve or something. I have been hungry some but a few sips of Soup or whatever takes care of it pretty fast.

Reading all of your posts is a bright spot in my day. Thank you for your positive notes and your honesty with your struggles. You have already talked me through some tough spots. I'm going to add my stationary bike to my exercise tomorrow. Walking has been it for me since surgery but I think in order to see the scale move I'm going to have to move more first! Sidney

Hi Everyone,

Planning on a trip to Seattle for a couple of days. Introducing Ed to my brother and family. Things here are good, however, less food focused. Still on the exercise thing. I am wanting to do the group diet thing when I come back, to jump start more weight loss. I admire you all.

About the toes, I love getting them and my nails done. It is a gift that I love giving myself. I am so proud of you. So many are working your programs and dropping the pounds.

i still take a bite too many when I am eating something I like. Then the PB comes and I say STUPID....stupid.....stupid

Dynamo~Have a fun and safe trip! Check in when you get back!

Lap~you should sooo take a picture of your toes, I would love to see that art work! How was the meeting with the trainer? I would like to hire a trainer...maybe someday, they are too pricey for me!

Dee~Day 2 of the PB diet...LOL, PB diet! Yesterday was fine until after my workout! i still made it, but I was not a happy camper!

Today, so far:

B~Atkins shake

S~2HB eggs

L~meatballs and cheese

S~?

D~?

S~?probably Atkins shake

No gym today and probably no walk either...I have a lecture right after work and won't be home until after 10!

Sidney~Sounds like you are healing well. Don't worry about the weight loss yet, let your body heal.

I don't mean to sound sappy, but I'm really happy I found this thread! You guys are so supportive and so sassy! My kind of women! I can't wait to join you on the bench and share toenail polish with you. I can't really reach my toenails at the moment . . . but someday!!!:wink2::lol::biggrin:

Hi Kidlings!

I just got back from Safeway! I was starving! AND voila, they have their little Peanut Butter tasting area AND I remembered that I can eat Peanut Butter on the Plateau Buster diet! So I did! It hit the spot!

Mal: Good girl! You did great yesterday! I know you had a hard time after returning from the gym, but you were victorious! That is what you need to focus on! You got through the first day! BRAVO! I promise it gets easier!

I can't believe you missed your One year Bandiversary! Happy Bandiversary Ms Mal! Congrats on completing your first year! You look wonderful and I know you have been granted a whole bunch of NSV's!

Michelle: Hey, Lovergirl! I missed you at RR this last time! It's not the same without you! My daughter and I are going to Seattle so I might PM you and you can tell me where I should avoid getting a hotel! It's so hard when you make reservations online, you never know where you'll end up! I remember staying in Flagstaff one summer, our hotel was practically on the railroad tracks! What a nightmare! We couldn't get an hour of sleep! Toot Toot!!!

I'm so glad to hear things are going well with the man in your life!

Minidriver: You can be sappy all you want! I know I appreciate everyone here! They are very sincere and very caring! Good people! BTW, we're glad you found us and Dr. K! Be careful on the bench - Shelbi can't keep her hands to herself! She's totally out of control with the poking and pinching! I think she needs to go to the Naughty Chair! (you know, I love you Shelbi!)

Sidann: Don't worry about the scale right now. I gained after surgery from all the Fluid in my IV's -- then I didn't lose for a while. I looked at my excel spreadsheet the other day and saw how I went up and up during that time. All in all the trend started downward around the 3rd week -- then when I started solids it went up again before heading back down. It's a time to heal! Don't work out too hard on your bike yet, Dr. K told me 3 weeks to let my body heal before I could ride my bike.

Well, gotta go Ladies! (I'm not referring to JT anymore, since he NEVER comes here! Brat Boy!):cursing:

Be good!

dee~

Heal now and the rest will come. Glad to hear you're doing well!!!

Thanks, Dee. And I'll be sure to watch out for Shelbi!!

I'm working on my bench behavior.

Honestly. I am. :biggrin2: :out:

I like sappy! No apologies required for sharing your emotions here. :smile:

Everyone -- I've got my toes ready. Need to get new batteries for my camera. (They ran out last night at school awards thingy. :wink2:) And need to get the scale to cooperate.

Hold on to your hats everyone. Husb has joined me on my morning walk for the last four days. This is an amazingly big deal for us. He has also lost 14 pounds in the last 2 months. I am so happy for him! (It took an ER trip with a MI scare and new blood pressure medication and a eye-opening changes in his lack of blood sugar control, but whatever, we'll take it.)

Have a great day everyone! I've got a 12 hour shift ahead of me. Yippee!

Hi Guys...

Yes, I am alive. Busy as all get out, but still alive and kickin'!!! We have been crazy busy with all the baseball, but I am lovin' it! My oldest just made the legion team, my 2nd qualified for a tourney in DISNEYWORLD!!! Don't know if we will go, but the beach would be a huge motivator and my 8 year old is going to Omaha to play. WHEW!

The scale is S...L...O...W...L...Y creeping back down and I am getting impatient. I went in for a fill last Thursday, it is still a tad loose (I got my period the next day, so I was tight). But I am plugging away!

Where can I get the info on the plateau buster diet? I want to join and give my fanny a kick!!

You gals are all rockin'! I just love you!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
