YOU JUST SAVED ME. Maybe you can't help the world, but I'm heading to the trash to dump the rest of my lunch. I'm full from 2.5 chicken strips and 5 fries, but I was reading this stuffing another fry in my mouth. Thank you!

And in my defense, I don't usually have fingers & fries for lunch but I had to spend my lunch at the DMV since they screwed up my license. My real lunch was tuna and carrots. Now I'm off to toss the remains, thanks to this one little thread.

I didn't make it to the trash; my skinny co-worker snatched the fries from me! So you did two good deeds since he's too skinny and forgot his lunch. Now he's got warm fries, so thanks from him, too.

It's good that you are climbin' back on the wagon, but you need to keep in mind that you have lost about 35 lbs in 4 months. That's not bad, you know?

Also, I've read in lots of places that your body can't really take more than 25 to 30 grams of protien at a time, so more than that is kind of a waste. You might do half shakes, or less powder in the milk at one time, you know?

Keep it up!

Krystal, I hear ya! Last night I sat down with a bag of FritoLay corn chips and a big ole glass of Water. I've actually not done this since being banded and haven't a clue why I chose last night to start. So this morning, I'm pulling myself up out of that rut I was in and vowing to be the best bandster I can be, as I know that if I don't address it now, it will become another habit I have to break later.

We're here for you if you need to talk (its hard to eat and type at the same time hehe).

Here is my problem, I am currently addicted to popcorn. Not the Plain Jane kind but movie theater with lots o butter type. What is worse than that is that is usually all I will eat the entire day. Yesterday I had one large and one mini microwave bag at one sitting for dinner last night. Unfortunately, it compresses and goes thru the band too easily. But I have given up my two or three times a day Starbucks habit. Now it is maybe twice a week. But I am not eating right at all. I know that. Help me!

I don't have a problem with pastas, breads, and meats. I don't eat them cause the WILL make me PB. I have tried baked fish. In fact, my freezer is full of them and they make me PB everytime.

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated!!!!

Krystal, good for you for coming here and asking for support and admitting to it all, thats half the battle, none of us are perfect bandsters, heck last night I ate an ice cream drumstick and resses Peanut Butter cups, I need chocolate on the day my period starts which was yesterday (TMI)

Just get back up and get back to basics, you can do this! Come here often, read, post, get the support you need. We are all here pulling for eachother to succeed.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
