Thank you everyone for the great advice and replies! I am going to keep on keeping on..... :love:

Hi Karl, I am a little over 2 weeks out? 12 says? I was sleeved on 12-12. I was a band to sleeve conversion. Like others said, so far so good. It hasn't always been easy (still feel like I want to chew things and on liquid only). But compared to other times I was on a diet (just diet) it is easier than that because the…

Hi, I am still in my 2 week full liquid post op diet. Some things I use to help break the monotony - Sugar free syrups. I like Da Vinci and I ordered my initial couple through Amazon to try them, when I found the ones I liked I ordereI direct with the company (they have maximum selection). I knew protein shakes would…

Hi, I can empathize with you... A lot of what I think I am hearing you saying (you don't believe this will really work, because of xxxxx). I really feel like this core message comes from inside all of us. Obviously especially those who have struggled with their weight. Put your faith in God that you are going to be just…

This isn't a weakly thing... More like monthly or bi-monthly... Cheesecake Factory cheesecake! YUM

Six more days and I head home to SO CAL. We live in GA now. I am worried about getting the level of activity that I get in here, there. We will be visiting family/friends all over and it will feel like a constant celebration. Not to mention the family likes to DRINK... I am planning on trying to eat very healthy for 2…

Every relationship we have is in preparation for the ONE. I took me 7 years to find my 1, after a bad 1st marriage. Don't give up. Have faith!!!! Faith is huge and do the work (that means first dates, which are awkward but necessary). Hug, most of us have been there and from someone who made it around the bend, it does get…

Thank you for replying.. I did some google/web searches and couldn't find the answer...

Thank you soooooo much for the encouragement, this is my first time trying something other than walking. I have managed to keep myself walking 4 x a week for the last 8 months. I will keep trying and pray I get through it someday...:smooched:

Okay, I feel like a complete fitness LOSER! I could only manage 10 minutes of 30 day shred by Jillian on week 1 doing the easy modify, I plan on doing 10 minutes in another hour or so; but, man am I out of shape! Will I ever be able to do it all?:blushing: :sad:

Good luck... slow and steady wins the race and everyday is a new day... no use wasting time on what could have been.

If you keep the steak to the size of a deck of cards, then all total around 575

Small lean steak & baked potato plain with a side of veg... Stay away from peanuts, bread & beer. Good luck!

My husband is amazing and HOT! :love: I thank God everyday and twice on Sundays for bringing him to me....or vice versa.

HI, I have a bodyfit media band. If you aren't sure exactly what you are burning, you may want to invest in one of these to determine exactly what you burn, either when you exercise and if you don't. Then you can target your caloric restriction appropriately. Good luck, I know it can be confusing. I bought my bodyfit media…

Would hav eto say make up and perfume lately.... I have always been a touch of a make up *kitten*, but as I lose weight, I don't want to waste money on clothes that a.) don't excite me and b.) might be in between clothes, so my way of treating myself is make up or perfume... Help, things ar out of control!:embarassed:

Thank you for posting.

Congrats!
