We are all in the same place I am starting to realize.  Its very hard but they are right starting is the beginning.  I am starting today also.  Its very hard.  But as you stated we had such an invasive surgery and have been through so much mentally, physically and emotionally I feel we can do this for us.

 I need to start posting and keeping track of whats going in my mouth.  But really the first thing I have to do is stop buying the bad stuff at the grocery store, because then it wouldnt be in the house to eat in the middle of the night.

So good luck and remember we are all here, Raynetta

Good Afternoon :)

Eats are pretty good today but haven't been in the mood to exercise.  Just have to many things going wrong in my life, but anyway

B-spaghetti (home made sauce with lots of tom & mushrooms)
L-pork, green beans and 1/4 of a baked potato with cheese
s-protein bar
d-grilled chicken with either salad or vegetables

Have a great rest of the day :) Raynetta

First of all Welcome! I did not have the band but RNY we don't drink 30 minutes prior or after a meal this I was told it helps the food stay in your stomach longer so you feel fuller.  I have gained about 15lbs and I knew I wouldn't stick with the 5 day pouch test but I went on Atkins and so far so good.  I also bought a treadmill and have started using. 

Best of luck, Raynetta

I am late getting on here but I would like to have a buddy.  I am in need to loose 15lbs and started Atkins today.  I am 41 years old and have been out for 3 1/2 years & I life in Missouri.

 Let me know,
 Raynetta

Tomorrow off to the GYM!

I would very much like to see that.  I am very upset with my self since I have gained about 13lbs.  Most of the weight is from a new medicine but I really cant use that as an excuse.  I have never been a runner but I really wanna think about doing it.

Thanks, Raynetta

I don't know your situation but I would check with your pcp.  I was told absolutely NOT from my pcp.

Best of luck, Raynetta

I am doing good for the second day and even worked out last night.

B-ham and cheese omelet, string cheese
L-taco salad, no shell or chips, made myself
s-carb master yogurt & grapes
D-grilled chicken breast and veggies
s-cheese & grapes

Still working on water but over half way their, vitamins done

This is perfect timing! I am going on a float trip this weekend so I know it will be bad eats.  I was planning on doing something starting Monday.  We leave Dec 2nd for Mexico and I have to lose 15lbs, I cant fit into any of my clothes.  I am so ready, keep me posted and thanks for the message.

Raynetta

I am right with you! I have gained about 15lbs and working on getting them off.  I just returned to the gym this week actually made it 3 times.  Its amazing how much better I feel when I work out but I just don't like to.  I am also trying the low carb its amazing how hard it is when we have been bad, LOL.

Best of luck, Raynetta

Thanks for posting. I did not do well at all but after feeling sorry for myself, eating terrible, making my self sick I am back on track. 

1) Exercise- terrible cant seem to get there 3 days a week, will work on this.

2) Not cheating - terrible but seem to be better and down a few pounds

3) Clean house - am working on this everyday, so moving in the right direction

4) Quit spending $ - much much better, still alot of room to improve

5) drink water everyday - much better but cant honestly say every day, will work harder

6) attitude - fell off the wagon but back on and seem to be in a better place

So as you can see the above are my challenge for Christmas.  Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for reminding me.  I need to look at these daily instead of once a month.
