Cate...good to see you posting and yes it is possible to get yourself back on track...I know hard, but highly possible. Stick around here for the support and lean on us...we are here for you...and congratulations with your success so far!!!

Hi Cate,

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you.  Things have been crazy...we need to get together!!!  Has your daughter had the baby?

I am glad to see you back on the Cali board...I know I haven't been on much, but I am also back.

You have done so wonderful with your weight loss and I want you to know we have a support group that meets once a month in San Dimas on Saturdays @ 10:00am....usually the first Saturday of the month.  It would be GREAT if you could join us.  I will PM you my number and call me anytime...if you just want to talk to get together for coffee.

Take care...hope to talk to you soon!!!

Hugs, Michele

Michele,

It seems like this baby is never going to come... and her idiot boyfriend is driving me nuts.. but i am trying not to make excuses for over eating anything... I just wish i did not think about food so much.. How is your daughter doing???? well today is a hot one try and stay cool...

Aloha Cate-

I am not as familiar with your surgery type but I bet we have to follow the same rules- protein, exercise, low carbs, water , vitamins and journaling?

Choose some simple goals for each day-

I WILL
-Hit my protein even if it means every bite I eat contains some protein
-Exercise because in addition to burning calories, my exercise is time for ME ( something we as a group tend to neglect) and I'll look better, release a boatload of endorphins, improve my  blood pressure and build muscle to increase my resting metabolic rate
-Avoid bread, rice, pasta and sweets because eating them means I'm NOT eating protein
-Drink my water to keep my kidneys happy and avoid  dreaded constipation
-Take all my vitamins and calcium because I want my blood to be red, not pink from anemia, and my bones to be hard, not rubbery from lack of calcium
-Journal to see and track evvery bite I put in my mouth because unwritten calories still count, but I forget about them

You can do this. XOLori
