Hi All, Well I don't have an update on my weight because I'm afraid to go on the scale.  The last time I did the scale I only lost 2 lbs in 11 days and everyone keeps calling it a stall but I know better.  The reason I think I am not losing is because I've been eating too many carbs and snacking a lot.  I know I made a promise with this surgery to eat better and exercise but I am like I think we all are a creature of habit.  I hate to say those things because I know what you say to yourself can cause more damage than what you actually do to yourself and I am trying to stay positive so that I can succeed at this not fail.  I keep telling myself that I will not FAIL but everyday I keep making both good and bad choices.  I try to focus on protein and I do a good job at that but sometimes I just want those pretzels, low fat chips and the sugar free candy don't even get me started with that.  Pre surgery I loved candy I keep it in a drawer next to my chair in the living room so when I'd watch TV I would nibble and I'm sure it was bad.  Even when I was diagnosed with Diabetes I still couldn't get off it.  Now I've discovered sugar free gummy candies like jelly beans and other stuff like that I also love the hard candy like root beer barrels and hard coffee candy, the fact that they make me so sick may be a good thing overall because when I eat too much of it I get the most horrible gas ever my family can't even stand me in the house anymore but if I cross the line to eating way way too much I get the worse diarrhea I've ever had in my life.  So I have to try and keep it out of the house but when I go to the mall I stop at that damn store and get some thinking I can control it only to find out that I lied to myself and I can't.  I have to get this shit out of my house!  Well anyway the one thing I did get from this surgery is everyday is a new one and I try to learn everyday that I screw up and I hope to get a handle on this someday hopefully before I die but hey I try to not make any promises to myself or fear of failing at that.  If there is anyone out there that can give me any advice I haven't already given myself please help me.  I will try and keep this site updated and I'm thinking about going to Weight Watchers but when I think about it too long I feel like I don't have anything in common with them as I've had the surgery and they haven't so I feel like I'm cheating.  Have a great one to all that see this and thanks for everything you do for me...Pam
