My name is Clindy - I'm originally from Greencastle but now live in Columbus. Are you interested in positive support and fresh insights? I'm looking for people who don't want to make excuses and complain about the band. It's a tool, just like the scale. It's up to us to do the work, but if we get our heads in the right place, we can do this right and Celebrate our successes. We can take each day step by step together- sharing struggles and finding answers - then moving forward. I am challenging myself to post every day and to get good daily habits forming. I hope you'll join me!

Here is Breakfast and lunch. I made about a cup and a half of steel cut oats on Sunday. Before work, I scoop half a cup onto a bowl, top it with berries and take it with me. I get hungry about 10. For lunch I found these new Protein blend vegetables- really good! A big issue for me is time. I'm finding ways to grab and go - and not hit a drive through or eat only salads!

One day at a time i will form a new habit...a new "normal." Third day of taking it one day at a time. I want to focus on food choices first, then will add exercise. In the past I've tried to make too many changes at once - I get overwhelmed and frustrated. I do fine through the day (breakfast and lunch) but my resolve fades as the day goes on. So I'll check back in when I'm home from work, to stop before I grab - and think before I sabotage myself. Have a great day!

Well I didn't check back in when I got home from work - and my meal choices are proof that this is a slippery slope for me! Ended up ordering pizza - 3 pieces was my share - I never eat 3 pieces! AND not one, but 2 ice cream sandwiches!! Why did I do that? Even when I do something like that, I know I'm eating emotionally or for some reason other than being hungry. Even if I can't figure out WHY I do that, I need to find a way to KEEP from doing that - make it less likely to happen.

My boss brought Breakfast sandwiches in for each of us...310 calories and it was a good protein-packed, warm start to my day. Instead of one day at a time, I need to narrow my scope to one MEAL at a time.

Still on track...had an apple when I started getting hungry and flavored Water.

When I'm hungry next (waiting to feel my tummy growl), I will have a small bowl of beef stew I brought from home.

I'm still the only one on this thread, but that's ok. I'll keep checking. I would love to have other Hoosiers to team up with, but until then I'll just keep talking.

''Tis the season for WAY too many goodies. I signed up to bring treats to work tomorrow...not sure what to bring, but it would be cool to bring something with some nutritional value AND that is a treat. I'll do some searching.

Thanks! I sure appreciate the encouragement. I want to lose another 60 pounds or so but don't expect to make much progress until after the holidays. My plan is to just not gain this month and to make conscious choices when I do decide to have a treat. I'll join some other conversations too for more interaction. Band, sleeve, whatever - we all have the same challenges and can work together. So glad to hear from you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
