Good morning Debra! There's nothing like a good therapist. It can make the difference between wasting time and money and changing your life. I'm so excited for you! Keep us posted.... Sunny day! Hip, hip hooray! Went for a 2 mile walk. Very nice. Yesterday: B: Scrambled egg with cheese L: Magic bullet blended refried beans (yum!) D: Blended home made chicken soup S: cottage cheese with nf sf vanilla yogurt Not good on water...only 36 oz... Multivits, 3 Viactives, 1000mcg B12 I saw my surgeon yesterday for a f/u visit. He was very pleased with my progress (20 pounds lost since surgery....50 including pre op wt loss!) and also pleased with the healing of my incision. Deb! I tried the BA chocolate calcium citrate and am not doing well with it. If you email me your address, I'll send you the bottle. Have a wonderful sunny day! xoxo Amy

Amy, Yes and I am hoping that this one will do the trick, the other one SAID she knew about WLS but she knew NOTHING about it...grrrrr Oh no, the BA did not sit with you? I will email you hun. ~hugs~ Debra P

Hi Debra, I hope your appointment went well. I promised my psychiatrist I will go myself at some point, money's been a little tight lately even with copays. I am ok though...actually he was quite pleased with the change in me I had my usual latte with 6 ounces of nonfat milk The yucky protein drink (48g protein)(getting my Isopure tomorrow yippee) Few bites of a meal bar(we were out and I was hungry) 1/2 cup of light and fit Yogurt I drank a lot of liquids Kristine

Kristine, OMG I just love her... This one should really be good to work with and knows so much about the surgery, what she doesn't know she says that not acts like she does like the other one. Take care Debra P

Deb, I love, love LOVE my shrink! I have been her patient since I can remember. She is my lifesaver.(next to Dennis of course) I just saw her today after my upper gi. I havent seen her since my new hair do and she said she cant stop staring at it, but in a good way! Ha. She said that is just a sign of just how truly brave I am. Love her. If you can find a good therapist who truly does care and can help, its priceless if you ask me.

Tavia, I just love this one now and yes even in one visit what a difference...WOW. That is what I said that you are so brave to do that....I would LOVE to be able to do that. Thanks hun Debra P

..sorry...I've been busy and when I get home I get my clothes ready for work and go to bed... anyway, eating has been okay. B 4 oz carb control yogurt with 1 Tbs walnuts L string cheese, zone snack bar S 1 Tbs cashews D 4 oz ground beef with sour cream and broccoli S sf fudgsicle Linda M 230/ 148/115

This is a very interesting thread as I am trying to understand wls and how it affects all aspects of your life. I find it very interesting that some people seem to eat very little and some a more 'normal' (for lack of a better word) menu. Am I right in assuming that since your stomach is so much smaller, you actually feel full on a small amount of food? I was reading posts on the main message board and it appeared to me that someone, like myself, who is researching wls, thought the same and she was mocked for believing this. Thanks! Linda
