Woop!. Starting at 229 today. According to hospital scale.

Why are the robes for like six hundred pound people?. Even the socks are huge!

This song speaks to me and reminds me of my late GF. If you find love..... LOVE HARD

"Like I'm Gonna Lose You"

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows we were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

[John Legend:]
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets

Let's take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it's all gone
'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow

[both:]
So I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

Hey
Whoa

I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you
Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when
When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you
Like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

Have you found your trigger that makes you eat? That made you obese? I think I have finally found mine. Sometimes we just don't want to address emotions that have been riding our back for years. I didn't want to deal a painful event. Until now. On biggest loser they talk about events that lead a person to over eat and I always scoffed at it. I do believe I could be at a turning point in my life.

I don't have any cravings per say. Like I am not saying ooh I want some of this or that. My downfall is that my kids bring home fast food stuff and I sometimes hate the smell and other times I love the smell. This week, I have had pizza toppings, a KFC chicken tender and a tiny plate of Panda Express beef & broccoli. I try to be strong and I try to make good choices, but I have little willpower. These dang kids keep bringing crap home. I cook but they prefer going out. It is driving me crazy. I tell my oldest kids to stop eating out. No one listens.

mentally I want steak. Physically I can't imagine any solid meat. I tried vodka with oj yesterday. Three sips and ick. Threw it out. Tried a kit kat today two tiny bites. Didn't want it. Threw it away. So there u go. French fries might get me. Idk

the face you make when you're trying really hard not to thro up at work.....

I know it is weird, but on Facebook, I belong to like every foodie page and I see it all day, and I like the recipes that pop up (so many about cauliflower and butternut squash lately!). I watch food tv shows, look at food on Pinterest, etc. But it does not make me crave anything. I just think, cool, I want to try this or this looks good, etc.

Maybe all this food overload is making me just not care. I am mostly just obsessed with finding my favorite Proteins.

I am not sure of my triggers, but it is probably related to just watching tv and being bored.

I think I'm just the opposite. I crave all kinds of things but I end up not being able to eat any of it. In fact tonight I went back to mushy. I took four corn tortillas and put them on the bottom of a baking pan and then I did a can of refried beans a can of water and some taco seasoning so that it was very very watery. I put it in the pan and I put four pieces of cheese on top and just baked it to make it warm and the cheese bubbly and ate it. It was very soupy but tasty I just don't feel like solid food is working right now

Your dinner looks and sounds yummy!

i made a tortilla pizza with fresh mozzarella, spinach and sauce.

I ate half. It was ok. I needed more cheese!

On my way to work. Have a great day!

I'm from Vegas too. Going in for surgery on 11/27. Hubby had his 7/8 and down 65 +/- pounds. When he was on the puréed phase, I made mashed cauliflower. Better for protein intake. Added garlic and some salt. Loved reading all your insights. I'm so ready for this!

So yesterday was our 1 month surgiversary (10/7 sleeves). I am starting my Calcium back.

I have been stuck on 179 for 4 days. I finally had a bowel movement. It was rough. So I hope to see it move to 178. I have to increase my Water. I don't understand why it is so tough for me to get it down!

I'm the day out before my surgery. I was already nervous as this is the only surgery I've ever had in my entire life. My surgery center is like 50 miles away and my partner and I are breaking up in this midst of this. Feeling all alone through this whole process. I'll probably be in the hospital alone tomorrow night. Pray for me. I'm nervous but ready for the results to come.

Good luck tomorrow. I am sure it is hard to focus on the good that you are doing for yourself while you are dealing with emotional issues with your breakup, but know that you can handle this on your own. The hospital stay is quick. Just take care of yourself. Make sure when you come home, you have what you need, liquids, your prescriptions, your meds (if being prescribed some) and your Protein.

You can do this.

We are behind you. Yes you can do it!

I was on a date and she asked me if I wanted to do the mini van. I asked what's that and she said two in the front and four in the back.

Waiting in line for my surgeon. She has a difficult case ahead of me. So I'll be sitting here until the first one is complete. Been here since 7:30. IV went well. Had my first dose of Valium to relax
