Century Club!

Thanks so much Sarah!!! Needless to say I was very excited when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw the numbers... I almost fell over with excitement... LOL... Shawn M.

Shawn, It seems like you just had your surgery! That is awesome news...we're all so proud of you! Have fun on vacation, you deserve it!! Brenda

Thanks Brenda... it does seem like my surgery wasn't that long ago, while other days it seems like forever to me... LOL... I can't wait to leave on vacation... I have been looking forward to this for months.... We will be visiting a close friend that lives out of state and I can't wait to see her again... Thanks again. Shawn M.

Awesome Shawn. CONGRATULATIONS on a job well done. God bless you, Annette

Thanks so much Annette!!! Shawn M.

You are doing so good !!! I bet you already feel so much better . hopfuly I will do that good I will be having surgery soon can"t wait to get my date !! am so excited ...could I ask what you eat in a normal day ?? Sherry

Thanks Sherry.. I am sure you will do great... I thought I would have a really hard time, and some days it is really hard and I cry over what I can't have, but it is soooo woth it... like the writer says... "nothing tastes as good as thin feels"... don't ever forget that.. LOL... What I eat in a normal day.. well, first off, I have six kids... I rarely have a "Normal" day... LOL.. but this is what I think it is.... breakfast - 1 package banana bread weight control oatmeal made with skim milk snack - 1/2 of a ready to drink isopure protein drink lunch - either a protein shake or 1/2 can of low fat chili snack - 1/4 cup of almonds or yogurt covered raisins (not everyone can tolerate the sugars in the raisins though). dinner - 2 - 3 ounces of beef or pork and about an ounce of green beans snack - small bowl of butter light popcorn I know I have an extra snack but I have a skinny hubby that eats in front of me all the time really late at night, so that is why I have the popcorn, it works for me.. Some days when I really feel the need for a good snack I will have a couple sugar free mint milano cookies... they really take care of that urge to snack.... I hope that helped you some... I feel like I am eating all the time.. I have yet to get hungry since my surgery even when I have gone way past my time to eat.. I have to remind myself to eat... mostly I deal with the "head hunger" but it gets better all the time... My water is my best friend... LOL... Good luck on your surgery I am sure all will go well and you will be on the losers bench before you know it... Shawn M.

Hi Shawn, I just saw this post and wanted to add my congratulations to you, too. Wow, century club so soon, you should really be proud of yourself. I had hoped to see you at the A2 support group meeting this month, but hope you have a great vacation. We won't recognize you when you get back!!!!! Keep up the good work, and Onederland awaits. Debra M.

Thanks so much Debra... hopefully next month I will make it to the meeting and we will get our chance to meet..... Thanks again.. Shawn M.
