I"ve been good so far today. I had an egg / 1 slice of toast for Breakfast and a small Wendi's chili for lunch. Then I walked for 15 minutes on my treadmill and did bowlfex for 15 minutes. I felt good afterwards , and should really do that more often. Now we're working on my dd's leaf collection for biology while the leafs are still nice instead of waiting for fall - too bad it's 94 freakin' degrees out today ! At least our house is nice & quiet since my 12y/o dd is at camp - WooHoo ! I'm going to try & have an angus burger and salad for supper. I'm tired of chicken right now and really don't like fish.

Andrea, this is weird. You said it was 94 degrees wherever you are.... It was 99 degrees here 30 minutes ago, and right now, it's 76.... methinks we might be having some inclement weather soon....

ok babygrl , quick question. so , i'm making your recipe and as i'm mixing i thought was i supposed to use the jell-o in powder form or already jelled ? i wanted to keep it simple so i bought Jello cups and put 4 of them in the mix but they weren't chopping up too well so that's when i started thinking about the powder. it still turned out and the jell-o dissolved some so it's fine and tastes good. just wonderin'.:)

So far today I've had 2 mozzarella sticks and 2 teddy grahams... What I have not had is all of my morning Protein shake, any substantial food for lunch, (or dinner, come to think of it), nor have I had enough water! What is my problem today?!? I have no appetite at allllllll!! And I have just forgotten to eat my meals. This feels quite a bit like the old days -- when I wouldn't eat all day & then feel like I couldn't eat fast enough until getting FULL sometime around 9PM! I thought we'd broken this lil' pattern...but apparently it's still lurking under the surface somewhere! Interesting, very, very interesting!

Let's see how dinner goes once the kids are in bed (DH giving baths right now :tired)... Company coming tomorrow, and so continues my summer of eating out. Lovely.

I'm excited that I didn't gain any while out of town. I had 2 bites of desert items and tried to stick with Protein first rule.

today I had

Protein shake 25 g

2 sticks big beef Jerky

Junior bacon cheeseburger (ate half bun and 3/4 of burger)

started off eating too fast and felt a little stuck

3 onion rings

1 hershey minature

1 glass red wine (rough day at work)

chicken lasagna (not enough chicken in it so only maybe had 4 small chunks)

Might need another Protein Shake to get more in tonight

Good for you, skinnyjeans! That's quite an accomplishment!

As for me...um, I didn't eat ANY bad foods yesterday, and I did get plenty of Protein in, but I woke up this morning with 5 additional pounds on the scale for my efforts! FIVE POUNDS overnight!!! Egad. I'm expecting AF this weekend, so maybe I'll get to chalk it up to my period like TravelGirl, but I'm frickin' pissed right now!

So far today I've had a glass of that new Juicy-juice with veggies mixed in -- not very good in my opinion, but DS (4yo) likes it a lot. He's the one we''re trying to trick anyhow!!! :biggrin1::biggrin1:

Well , eating did not start out well today ! :cry I tried to eat an egg w/ 1 slice of toast and it all came back up and really hurt in my belly. You would think after 4 months I would learn to slow down and chew, chew, chew ! CRAP !:) I waited about and hour and 1/2 then ate a 1/2 c. serving of babygirl's Jello recipe and so far so good ! It turned out fine even tho' I used jelled Jello instead of powder. My DH tasted it and liked it tho' he usually won't eat anything sugar-free .

Hang in there Zannie , I saw your new pics on the challenge site and you're doing SUPER and look great ! - you too babygirl , man you look young , lol - both of you !:) i need to get some pics on here sometime. Since I don't work in the summer - I'm a music teacher - I keep thinkin' that i've got to keep on track because my co-workers will be looking at me when school starts at the end of Aug. to see how I did over the summer - a little bit of pressure here ! So far I've lost 18 lbs since school's been out. Another friend had gastric by-pass 5 years ago and has since gained everything back . She's having a swim party friday w/ some of the girls I work w/ and said she can't wait to see me. I'm not sure if I should go. I know she wishes she had the band - she told me so , but insurance didn't pay for it then - and I don't want to make her feel bad or anything. I'm just confused right now ! Plus I 'm not sure I want to wear a swimsuit in public yet tho' my 3 dd's said it looks fine !

Ok , I'm rattling on !:rolleyesThanks for listening. I'm going to get on my treadmill and bow-flex again today even tho' the scale went up 0.4 today. I felt better after doing it yesterday. have a good day , girls !:)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
