Ive been so bad at that as well...really need to get back down to basics as Ive really let some of my food demons come out and play the past couple weeks! House full of deer hunting company this weekend for the 2nd weekend in a row so plenty busy here :)
Hey all you beautiful Minnesota Peeps!
Well I think the whole drinking while I was eating was my biggest issue. I made it an effort to not touch water while I ate, and I started the week at 401 and now I am at 393! I said good bye to the 5 and now to the 4's! Its just a motivator when you hit that new number before the last two. I have to admit that I thought the surgery was done doing what it was suppose to, and I just had it the end of May, but obviously it was just me not doing what I was suppose to! Anyways any big plans for anyone this weekend? Hope everyone is doing well! Talk to you soon!
Thats a great question I am not sure, but I am sure someone on here knows. If not contact the Minnesota Insurance Commission
We have a coffee on Saturday mornings "South of the River." this week it is in the Caribou in Byerlys (NE corner of 35E and Yankee Doodle.) We start at 8:3 and go till 1 or 10:30 depending. On opposite weeks we meet at the Panera, north side of the Burnsville mall. Love to see you. Look for a group near the entrance to the seating are with smiles and water bottles.
What a good idea RJ! I too want to maintain and even lose a little bit more through the Holidays...I have a dress to fit into comfortably for NYE, although I think I'm in my good spot where I am.
Sugar cravings in the evenings remain a challenge...blech! I'm trying to combat that by eating dinner a little later in the evenings...and I have to admit this is working better for me.

Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.
JM, there are several thinks that are a must for those that want to be successful. 1. is protein first. Protein makes you feel full longer and repairs muscle tissue. 2. no liquids near the meal. liquids near the meal wash away the fullness and you will want to eat sooner. 3. Exercise is important because you will lose muscle mass along with the fat. You will need muscle to burn calories and to maintain some semblance of strength.
My rule was to drink a liter of liquids between meals. That way I knew I was hydrated and it also kept me from sneaking in extra food before it's time.
There have been a couple of people that have visited our coffee group that have had ulcers, so you are not alone. Follow your Dr's recommendations.
Congrats on your surgery date! Dr. Jones is fantastic - he not only did my RNY, but when I had some female problems and a hernia that needed to be repaired, he took the majority of my spare tire away - said it was necessary to aid in healing of the hipbone to hipbone incision I had to have. DARN! 
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
I remember you fondly, Darla!! I'm sorry the last few years have been so rough for you. I can relate to some of what you have been through, not all, but some of it. I sure hope some of the issues you posted are resolving for you.
Take care of you. Keep in touch once in a while.
