Okay, guys, this it is!

No excuses, no whining, let's just make it happen!

We know how to make this band work for us and 2015 will be our year!

I got 33 minutes on the elliptical before church this morning. Small oatmeal for breakfast nice small lunch out. Now time for a nap then back for evening service. Have a great day ya'll.

Bad day yesterday.

food 1500ish

No eating after 8. Ya no. 9pm

Water short by 16oz

No exercise and only 6000 steps.

Okay that's the bad news!

Today

I'm at the gym as we speak. I'm going to make up the steps I did not hit yesterday right now.

Update you later.

Atta girl.. Get your work done!

Went and got a slight fill this afternoon so I hope it gives me the restriction I'm looking for. So liquids for 24 hours! Making some broccoli cheese soup and have my shakes ready! ???? I was a little embarrassed because she asked if a student pa could come in and observe....don't like people seeing my belly but, hey they gotta learn! Hope everyone's having a great day!

Kinda a rough day. Truck broke down AGAIN!! This time in a snowstorm and a truck that would not run at all. 8 above!! Anyway eating was ok. A bit of a big dinner, but I did not have much to eat all day. Only got half my water. Not much exercise either.. 3 strikes and yer out.. I could not make it home because of the storm. Wo tomorrow will be eating on the road all day.. A bit nervous. Hope to have good power tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well!

nailpro00 - how'd you do today??? Glad you had a plan and posted it. That's what this thread is all about.

bacon - where do you live? I'm in NE TN and it's cold and snowy here. We moved from SW GA in May, so winter weather is all new and fun! Sorry about your rough day. How can I pray for you?

2babuttery - how are you doing after that fill? Proud of you for being ready for liquids, that makes it so much easier!

enjoythetime, punkinvine, justwatchme - would love to hear how you're doing too!

All is well here. Allowed myself to go to 1000 calories yesterday with a treat. Planned and counted, so I'm good with that. Went out to lunch with my daughter and had a major victory. Split a lunch item with her and made myself leave a little on the plate. That's a huge win in my food-crazed, compulsive eating world. All Water is in and we walked a 4 mile video this evening. I've had +/- 768 calories today, so right on track. I had to guesstimate the eating out, but aimed high rather than low, so should be fine. Meals are planned for tomorrow and I'll roll with it.

Keep it up, everybody and let me hear from you!!

24 flights of stairs at work. Did 16 of them at once. Not again. That was a killer.

1070 calories.

@@s_suther we live east of Cincinnati about an hour. Work in Dayton area so it is an hour to work.. pray for strength today. Have a good day!

Eek! I think my fill may have been a bit too much. Up ALL night with reflux. And my tummy feels kind of bloated.

Thank you for posting this and I hope you get it resolved. I have a fill appointment today and I don't feel as if I really need one, but I was debating whether to get a tiny fill anyway. I won't.

Today I will do my stairs at work on a better schedule. Yesterday I ended up cramming them into the end of the day and it was too much. I was miserable and winded. Pacing myself works so much better. I also have an NP appointment and it's going to just be a checkup. I don't want to have a too tight band. Aiming for 1200 calories today.

Butterfly-nothing worse than reflux! Let me know what you decide to do. When I had the same experience, I had to go to Clear liquids, then to creamy, then to soft, etc. It was a week-long process and I still had to have a little taken out. It's such a fine-tuning! Kudos to you for listening to your body and doing what works for you.

Watchme-yep, me too. Any thoughts I've had of a tiny fill just left the building!

Bacon-stay safe today.

Meals planned, Water will be consumed, exercise will get done.

FYI for those interested in my doc reducing my water...stu into his recommended 64 oz & no reflux. Upped it yesterday to test the waters (just because I'm like that), and had reflux last night. Will stick to 64 today. ????

For accountability, I'll be back later to post and check on you guys. Have a dandy day!!

Just like to tell my experience about being over filled. The last fill I had was the fall of 2011. I thought I was too tight, but the doc said I would be good. I could not get a drop of anything through. The fill was on a tues and the doc was out until the fowling tues. I said to myself that eventually it will settle in and id be good. By friday night I was dehydrated and miserable. I went to three different hospitals and no one would stick a needle in me. The fourth was seceral hours away but there was a resident there that had "some" experience with fill ports. I finally got some relief on sat morn. I swore on the way home I would never get another fill.. that started a spiril out of control time where I started binge eating and gained all but 50 pounds back. So IMO fills are good but there is a FINE line. Do not let a bad fill be the start of gaining your weight back. And yes... I will be getting a fill again. My appointment is April 2.

I will be calling first thing when they open. I definitely do not want to be too tight. And liquids are going very slowly today. I just hate it because my dr is an hour away!! Oh well! Ill keep y'all updated

I did OK over the weekend. Stayed on target with my calories.

Didn't get my exercise in and fell short on my Water intake. I could soooo tell it this morning. You know that swelled feeling in your hands when you wake up, yep that was me today so time to refocus and get back at it.

Today I WILL get my water in

I WILL not go over my calorie target of 1300 for the day

I WILL do some form of exercise
