Just an FYI the Brownies from Apex are actuall very good if you're craving brownies but, as usual that "better flavor" for a suppliment comes with calories. I usually only eat half of one and save the other half for another time. They are called Iced chocolate Brownie Delight. 230 cals, 13g Protein, 27g carbs with 8g fat so that's why I'll only eat 1/2 to get rid of the chocolate craving. They are about 3''x3'' and have real Hershey's chocolate in them. My DH seems to be able to eat those Peanut Butter piece cookies...me BLECK I didn't care for them. So dang hard but, not crisp and the aftertaste is just NASTY. If I want a cookie....I'll eat a cookie and plan it within my calories for the day. Rather have the real thing on that one hahaha.

Hope everyone is doing well :hurray: Me....well....I've been off the bugg for a few days.....work has been so dang stressful but, I'm getting my mindset ready to rock and roll for Monday and a new bugg program. Wanna get more weight off before my Birthday :frown:

I think it is so AWFUL of apex to post all those pictures of brownies and iced snack bars on their site. I have to look at them every time I log in and it makes me so mad I REFUSE to buy anything else from them! ;)

Once you taste them they will never tempt you again--they are the worst tasting crap ever! I got some free samples, took a bite of one and gave the rest to my less fussy son and even he won't eat them and we all know teenage bys tend not to be real picky!!!

I am selling my BodyBugg that I just got (bought off of another LBT'r). Just did my taxes and it is NOT pretty. I am darn near panicked right now. I need to sell this as any little bit will help right now. If anyone is interested, PM me. I bought for $180. It still has trial membership good until March 2, 2008. I was really looking forward to using it too.

hey guys I've been gone for a while, but I have to say the bodybugg has really broken my plateau!

6 weeks ago i started at 188 and now 171! 26lbs an from not being overweight anymore. Of course now that i am close, I no longer am happy with a goal of 145, it's now 125! What's 20 more lbs, i can do that in 7 weeks with my bodybugg!

i just worked an extra shift to purchase one but i have a question do you have to enter your food into the computer or does it just know the calories you have taken in? Just wondering i currently do fitday so not a problem just wondering

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
