Hello Ladies! Just wanted to stop by and say Hi...Avilla...Thanks for the PM. It feels nice to be missed.... I'm getting better day by day. It's not easy but it's happening..I'm walking again..1.6 miles today, but it takes all my energy:faint: . Protein shakes make me nauseaus and I'm afraid to throw up...so I'm doing the carnation instant breakfasts, which are a lot better...Thank you all for your good thoughts and wishes.. I'm taking it one day at a time! It is good tos ee everybodies progress!!:clap2: KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!!!:clap2:

smooches...:kiss2: Olga

You will be feeling alot better by this time next week..I remember feeling real depressed after surgery and it lasted for a couple weeks..I was upset and wondering what in the heck I had done and almost wished that I hadnt done it...Just remember that these emotions are normal!! I also recall just sitting down and crying for no reason at all several times...I think that the body gets upset and thrown upside down from the surgery and from the drop in weight right afterwards...Its just letting you know that it still thinks its in charge and can have you anyway that it wants you...Everyone heals differently and at a different pace...Take your time and relax and heal...After you go in for your follow up and get your first fill, then its time to work and you will be feeling alot better by then too

Bandida, you are doing great. Hang in there. Each day gets better, I promise.

Thanks for the PM. I did weigh yesterday and was Thrilled to see 199.6 on my scale! Yippeee! I haven't changed my ticker yet, because I usually do that on Mondays. I'm not sure what everyone is measuring consistantly.

I did not go to the gym yesterday or today. I did walk in the neighborhood for 30 minutes yesterday, but none today.

Today I have had:

Breakfast: Lite n fit yogurt with unflavored Unjury protein

Lunch: 4 oz lentil soup

Snack: 2 oz cottage cheese

Dinner: 4 oz grilled tilapia fish, 1 oz grilled yellow squash

snack: 2 oz cottage cheese

I'm still afraid to cheat off my soft food diet. Only 10 more days of soft foods and then on to real solids! I get really hungry at night between 7-10 and was told I shouldn't be eating at night. I hope a little cottage cheese would be okay.

I drank all my water (64 oz) and 2 glasses of crystal lite peach tea.

I'm so very encouraged by all of your successes! Thanks for being this newbie's inspiration.

Sorry I went AWOL, I'll try to do better.

__________________

Teresita and fellow campers,

I have 2.5cc's in a 4cc band (I think its 4 or 5). I am having a terrible time keeping anything solid down. I am loosing fast so I liked it for awhile, but now I am feeling run down and tired. I counted my calories and I am only getting around 600/day. I am going to call them today:rolleyes . I can't stand it anymore. I need more nutrients.:think I will get the 0.5 taken out. I shouldn't have gotten it put in. I lost 16lbs and I went ahead and got another 0.5 put in cause I didn't want the loosing to stop. I have learned my lesson I think!!

Yes yes yes the scale is not your friend when it does not say what you want. Yes yogurt is good for you but lemon pound cake is not. No eggs do not go down well for breakfast if you are tight in the morning. Yes this is a great place for newbies to start off on the right foot. Yes changing your calorie count up and down at times will help to promote weight lost.

I see a few people did not make it to the gym yesterday so I hope you did something else in place of that workout routine. Yes I see some people did go walk and did other extra curricular activities. LOL

You guys are an amazing bunch. Success is easy when you add some help.

Oh poor baby I'm sorry. Get a little unfill so you can feed your body so it can be healthy. Let's do it the right way. Lean healthy proteins are going to help you lose fat. Oh yeah throw in that wonderful exercise. Turner24

I'm off today from work:heh: Anywayz, I went to Catherine's to try on some clothes because I don't know my true dress size. Well guess what was in the dressing room.....a measuring tape:clap2: My measurements are:

Chest: 46 inches

Waist: 41 inches

Hips: 63 inches I guess you can tell I'm pear shaped.

And I brought myself a bad azz black suit for my birthday in a couple of Sundays. The top was a sz 24 and the skirt was a sz 26. I also brought some black leather pumps to go with the suit. My shoe sz is a sz smaller too. No more cheating days for me, until after 2-18, cuz I want to look good for my birthday. Tonite is gym nite. I'm eating a chix salad for lunch. Talk wit cha later, gotta go pickup the boys.

Well, with being off today I didnt do to well on my food or working out

8 oz protein whey (breakfast)

1/2 slice of pizza (lunch, pb'd most of it back up)

Grilled chicken salad (ate all the chicken (about 1/4 of a chicken breast) and a little of the lettuce)5 corn chips with guacamole (dinner)

handfull of wheat thins (snack)

as far as a workout, I did house work all day and took a nap

Im sure I mostly got in all my water with my 20 oz here and there all day of green tea and peach tea...I just didnt keep track today...Its just harder to keep up with it when im not at work
