Thanks everyone for your condolences and prayers! You guys are the best.

I love to cook, so I'll keep the recipes coming. I still enjoy it eventhough I can only eat about 1/2 cup of it. That's why I don't waste my 1/2 cup on anything I don't enjoy eating.

yesterday

b-cookies and cream muscle milk

l-small chili from wendy's (did not stay down, I guess it's too chunky)

d- 1/2 of a salmon burger wrapped in lettuce topped with lemon dill yogurt sauce

exercise--1 hr at the gym

**Slim, try the cioppino, if you like seafood, you'll love it

today-

b-coffee w/torani syrup, slim fast low carb

L-chicken stew, blueberry muffin (water only mix)

D-stuffed portabellos & fried zucchini strips (thanks luluc!)

How much did you get? (the 1cc you wanted?)

I got .1cc (not a typo, really .1). I can't believe how much difference that drop of fluid makes. It's kicking my butt! I got .2cc in May and had to have half taken out, so I was afraid to get more than .1cc. It feels a little tighter than I'd like at this point but I can get things down as long as I'm careful. I'm not enjoying the discomfort of being so tight. On the bright side the scale is rapidly moving down!! :smile2:

Today....

B – Protein latte

L – 1/2 C. cottage cheese, 2 wedges laughing cow light spread on 3 wafer thin crispbread slices (20 cal each).

S – 1/4 C. FF Greek Yogurt with tiny squirt of honey

D – 2oz tuna steak, ¼ C green beans, 2 bites roast potatoes

L: 10 chips, 2T Black Bean Dip, 1 oz co-jack, salsa

D: 1/2 C mashed potatoes, 1/4 C gravy

S: 1/2 C Chocolate ice cream, 1/4 C skim milk

I got .1cc (not a typo, really .1). I can't believe how much difference that drop of fluid makes. On the bright side the scale is rapidly moving down!!

I've been told that as we drop weight, our band becomes loose and that's why we may need the fill. With your current weight lose (good job!), this fill could be it, maybe the sweet spot!

I still think I could use just a bit more. We'll see on the 15th if I get more or not.

Still no headaches.

As far as shirt tucking, I've never been a shirt tucker. It's funny how pictures will show us things we never see in the mirror. I sometimes think I look pretty good until I see a picture, lol.

Great news on the headaches! Tucking; oh my, I still can't believe what I saw and so ture, the camera never lies. A capture in time can tell a million stories,,,and mine was not a nice story

Today was a :smile2: :thumbup: day

Just loved the look of your post. It made me think, smile and laugh as I read it.

My day started out like that too!

Never really got back on track.

Chips, cookies, and a real soda (haven't had one of those in months).

Dinner was ok; leftovers- a Hamburger Helper.

I hope that by the weekend I'll be better. I will be doing MY grocery shopping and getting my foods back in order. I find that I become lazy when I start getting low on my own groceries.

School starts next week too. I hope this will help me, won't have to feed all the kids all day long.

Need to get control again!

Sorry I'm going on an on, I need to voice it, hear it, own it and learn from it.

Thank you everyone for being there!

I am the one on the exercise page that suggested the drinking of water because that is what my doctor keeps telling me :mad:

But(t) :sneaky: I really do not well when I eat meat. Only suggesting ...maybe eggbeaters (they come in yummy flavors) and see what happens or a piece of fish. I LOVE the eggbeaters and my DH goes nuts but I have a shot glass that is marked one ounce and measure my portion with it. :tt1::tt1:

Seriously, just if you can go off the meat for a day or two and see what happens....my regular doctor states (he lost a ton of weight) that excessive salt is a no no. I cut down and I can feel the difference
