I still have a ways to go, so I needed this jumpstart again and I do eat a lot of meat....unfortunately I like it wrapped in bread.....I haven't minded the liquids at all so far. Gives me a chance to drink chocolate and peanut butter. LOL Becky...sounds kind of like waiting until 4 to eat could be hard on you.......we (my husband) bought some Atkins Mudslide Bars (teeny bite for me) and it's pretty good......just an opinion. :) Kat |

 San Antonio, TX Member Since: 01/23/07 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 3/15/10 8:00 pm Topic: RE: I'm in. 5 Day Pouch Test. Who's in with me!?!?!? Start tom. To tell you the truth, I don't know. I stopped following the plan already. So many things didn't make sense to me. And I am not a huge meat fan to begin with. So I was gagging. I just finished a salad with a tiny bit of light raspberry vinagrette dressing, almonds, chicken, goat cheese and spring mix lettuce. I can't just eat plain old chicken. Nothing else. Gag. And I see nothing wrong with eating what I ate. Quite the opposite. In fact, I blew today all together. And I don't feel so bad about it. I had a protein shake for breakfast, a hard boiled egg for a snack. A turkey burger for lunch (the only thing on the plan I was supposed to eat), half a filet of orange roughy and half cup cottage cheese for dinner and then the salad now; 9pm. I just got home from playing flag football and was starving. I'd call it a snack but it doesn't really seem to fit that category. So all in all, I ate pretty darn healthy and protein packed food today. It just didn't fit the plan. But I will not beat myself up about it. If I can continue eating every day like I did today, the weight will come off. I've been working out 4-5 days a week too. It HAS to come off. At least that is what I will continue telling myself. Good luck!! But I seem to not be the one to ask advice of..haha RNY 10/05/06 Starting Weight: 240 Goal: 150 Second Goal: 140 Current Weight 140 |

Actually I ended up eating tomato soup at work and protein drinks....I ate some of the beans tonight. What is the point behind blenderizing it, to make it all liquids? I think it would've been easier to eat had it not been thick and grainy....I used chipotle and tomatoes and didn't care for that either.....Today was day 2. These 2 days have not been that bad but I haven't been doing the water I should be drinking. Is there any ponit to doing a 3rd day of liquids or just follow all 5 days as are? Kat Speaking of....time for a protein drink. :) |

I was having a HARD time with Stats and was ready to throw the darn book acros the room. I got up and headed to the kitchen - ld habit. I turned back around, put on my shoes and headed out the door. Funny thing was, hubby followed. He saw how mad I as and he'd never seen me do this so he went to make sure I was ok. So any way, we walked around the neighbor hood while I screamed and whined about my class and he talked me down. It was good and I really liked the company. He NEVER walks with me. And I stayed out of the "feeding stress" habit of old days.

I've really been slamming protein today and I hope that it will help get me back on track. I've been looking for a bathing suit myself...one that kinda hides my upper thighs, which are saggy-baggy. May have to go to some kind of suit with a boy short bottom. Have been pondering this......unfortunately Macy's is NOT in my price range these days. Hang in there Paige, you're doing fine. You'll get those extra 5lbs off so you can have that wiggle room. All you have to do is put your mind to it. Hugs, Mari |

The Carb Monster has been trying to rear his ugly mug but so far I've been shooting him in the ass every time! A couple of WASA crackers once a week with some chicken or tuna salad and some dried peas for crunch has satisfied me so far. I had my 6mo check up with Dr. Garth today. I've lost 70.5 lbs since surgery and he said he was very pleased with my progress, although I was really hoping to lose 15-20 more by now. He still won't talk about goals other than he wants my BMI under 30. He said anything after that he considers gravy. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to disagree on that! I don't know if my goal of 150 is realistic or even sustainable but I do know that I won't be happy with wherever less than 5 BMI points gets me!

She waited all day long for someone to come and get her for the procedure and no one ever did. She saw her PC who had no answers, she saw her Pulminary doctor who said they were getting more results on the fluid they removed and he would get back to her and he nevr did. Never saw the surgeon. Was not able to eat or drink after midnight last night and finally at 4:00 they brough her a sandwich. She is fustrated and upset and is begining to think they are keeping something from her and she does not want to feel that way! As of right now no one knows whats going on, if they will do the surgery tomorrow or if they will not do it at all! I'm really starting to worry! I will keep you posted. Love you |

 Denton County, TX Member Since: 01/01/06 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 3/15/10 2:30 pm Topic: RE: The NIGH****CHMAN - Monday 3/15 George; I agree. For me it was weird for the alarm to go off when it was still dark outside. I'm not sure why, but it seemed like a much longer weekend to me. Maybe because I was out and about and not just hanging out at the house doing chores. We had a great time at the Greenville Ave. festivities on Saturday. Yesterday, one of my very good friends from San Antonio arrived and we spent the afternoon indulging in retail therapy. I found the one thing I needed to complete my spring wardrobe - a pair of white trousers. They need to be hemmed, but my mom will be here Easter weekend and I'll have her work on them then. Tonight, I'm meeting up with Sara for happy hour. Tomorrow, I'm having dinner with one of my favorite old clients. And Wednesday, I'll be ready to stay in, hibernate and eat corned beef and cabbage. :) Prayers for all who need them. I expect I'll be out too late tonight to check in again. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 128 (below goal) If I were lying, wouldn't my pants be on fire?!? |
