How much have all of us lost since our surgery in November? I will probably have to leave for work in a couple hours, so if you all want to help with the adding that would be great. I have a loss of 105 pounds so far. ((((HUGS)))) Dawn

Hi, can i get the recipe for the banana ice cream?? that sounds really good. i like to have a teaspoon or 2 after dinner for dessert so a pint of something lasts forever but it is so hard to find sugar free ice cream that tastes good!! thanks stacy 262.5~138.0 11/14/03 [email protected]

don't we all love the junk food. I know I don't make the right choices myself all the time. But I really strive to make better choices. I add a little protein powder to the sugar free cookies I make; I munch on fruits and veggies instead of major sugar items. I can tolerate some sugar; I mix the nonfat milk with ice cubes and some banana and cream protein powder to make a banana ice cream. Our local support group exchanges reciepes from time to time; and that gives us different food options. then there are days; where I just want to give up and eat bad stuff; then I don't feel well; and that gives me time to think. as I have heard mentioned here before they operate on our stomach; not our brains. So it is still the will power to eat right and exercise that will keep us going on the right path. mark g.

Right here with ya! I have found my limits and have tested them. The knowing is killing me because now it is a fight (constant). I did find that when I get to feeling like a cheater. I get this serious thought that I have 4 months to shed 40 pounds. I can do it just get off my duff and leave that crap alone. I was so dedicated prior to my surgery to loose so I was able to have a lap and I did it. I mean no cheating and I did for the first six months of this surgery. We can all do it we are all winners. Look at us!!!! We look great everyone of us. We are all happy even in our depressing posts. Face it were good!!!!!

I think these days, they go by BMI, not 100 lbs overwieght. Take care, Kristen
