I'm guilty of skipping breakfast. I've been having my liquid/chewable vitamins, my Synthroid tab, and a couple cups of coffee in the early a.m. Bad, bad, bad. I like the idea of three meals and I MUST have something to eat between 3:00 and 4:00 in the p.m. or I'll crater. I eat lunch and then count the 3:00 thing as my second meal. Then I'll eat supper between 7:30 and 9:00. I never get in bed before midnight. I have found a wonderful product at GNC, though: Isopure. It's 40 grams of protein, no sugar, no carbs, no fat. It's great insurance for getting your 60-80 grams of protein in. I fear losing my hair, so getting the protein required is a big deal for me.

Thanks, y'all. You guys are all awesome and I'm grateful to have found you!

Well, I've had a bad week ................I've not had eaten issues like this since before being banded. And no, I've not had any restriction with my 1st fill of 2 cc's on 10/12. I can eat anything and if I see something, I want it and I eat it. I haven't weighed since Sunday out of fear and I've not logged my food diary since last Friday nor have I prepared my meals ahead of time.......not good.........I know, I'll get it together............tomorrow's another day......I'm still doing better since before the surgery when I was over 300 lbs. And just think,

I'd finally started losing again eating next to nothing and then I blew it. The good news is at least I've never stopped exercising...........walking everyday 2 miles and resistance training every other day. I have an appt next week but he won't schedule another fill until after my appt. I have got to get my act back together by Monday.........my goal was to lose 40 lbs by Thanksgiving................whew, whow, whoa and what????? I'll start over next week listing my food intake and weight. I'm going in deep prayer................pray for me!!!!
