Haven't posted in awhile. So much going on, trying to get meds right for my MS. Been so down in the dumps, all I want to do is eat. I was only ten pounds away from my goal weight in October of last year. Goal weight was 180, I was at 190. Now, I am back up to 210. I CAN NOT get out of this downward slope no matter how much I try...I don't know what to do anymore. No matter how much I try to "pep" talk myself, it just doesn't seem to help.

Hey where in NC are you? I'm in NC also maybe we can be support buddies. Lord knows I need one Let me know, have a great day!

Lookin' good, girl! :-)

Thanks so much cycleoldlady!!

You are looking great, well done xx

Hi! Sounds like you're doing great! I'm sorry to hear about your knee - I hope it's better soon. I need to get on a regular walking schedule, but I have been trying to get to the gym when I can. I like to do the elliptical machine and the resistance weights there, and I also tried Zumba, which was fun. As far as what I've been eating, I've been focusing on trying to get my 60-80 grams of protein in a day, which some days is easier than others. I usually have a protein shake or bar for breakfast (although today I had a scrambled egg with a Laughing Cow wedge mixed in), deli meat or tuna salad for lunch, and then for dinner usually some kind of chicken or seafood. Have you tried myfitnesspal.com ? It's a website where you can track your food and exercise and add friends on there for encouragement. You can also see each others' food diaries for ideas of what to eat. If you have a smartphone you can download a free app, and track wherever you are. I love it. There's a thread on here where everyone put their My Fitness Pal user name so we could all add each other as friends - you should do it!

Hi! Things are going really great! I can't believe how good I feel, and I had a really fast and easy recovery from surgery. I haven't had any problems with food, and I am loving my sleeve! I'm down 35 pounds since surgery and I am really starting to see the results. How are you doing?

Happy 4th of July! Ok, so as of today I am 8 days post op and other than being so DARN HUNGRY, I am doing well. I am tired of the protein shakes, I want some real food. To top it off, we are having a family gathering today for the 4th and I will be surrounded by all of the great tempting food. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?? Can I have something other than liquids? I am going C-R-A-Z-Y!! Please help!!! :-(
