Just wanted to say Hey! I'm from Brookhaven and just wanted to touch base with someone in my area. Wanted to know how your surgery went and what you experiencedsince then. I havent had my sleeve done yet. Trying to get my finances straightened out but was looking for more insight on someone who has had it done.

Thanks

Happy Birthday!

Has anybody tried Rice protein? Trying to find some!

Just checking in...How did Thanksgiving go? Mine was great...good food and I didn't over do it.

Thanks for the kind welcome in the Forum!

I changed my user name to BigChicken

How are you doing. I am staying out of trouble. I am walking everyday and feeling really good.

I stayed out of trouble if you call working trouble and then to my neice's house she just bought. I was a fixer and we have been fixing on it every weekend. My back is killing me right now.

How are you going since last I messaged you? Are you winning overall,
bet you are! Have a great weekend & hope to hear from you soon : )

Good job on the 2 pounds.....2 steps forward 1 step back and you will still arrive at your destination....Use it as a learning experience.

Keep up the good work!

You got it girl! I have candy at my house (3 kids here) so I keep it hidden in the cabinet...if I don't see it...IT ISNT HERE! I play mind games with myself sometimes...I picture my favorite stuff...being something terrible just so I will not want it. Seems to help some..and I keep telling mysel...NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN WILL FEEL. I can't say...that the apple pie didn't call my name cause it did..but I only had about 1/3 of the size of piece I'd have before. Sometimes you just got to get that craving out of your system...have it..sit on the toliet all the next day ..hating yourself and paying for the sugar...and then move on. I know its tough..but together we can do this...here for you...

Try not to beat yourself up too much. Look forward move on, & by the sounds
of it you are. You did the right thing, you threw the candy out! Well done, that's a BIG
Victory, you got rid of the rest! Like John said we are human.

We have conditioned our bodies with a lifetime of bad eating habits & abuse, no wonder we sometimes stumble! But its just a hiccup,it won't continue as your actions already prove that. Maybe IF there is a next time, just portion how much you will eat ahead of time, & stick to that portion, rather than sitting with a big bag of stuff etc

I have done it too & well, I felt down right sick & so bloated thought my belly was going to expload &I can't stand that feeling as my stomach goes on hurting for up to an hour before the pain goes. I never want to relive that & that's enough to make me remember I just CAN'T eat the amounts I used too. 2b Skinny keep focused, move onwards & upwards until you reach your ultimate goal, not doub't you will do it. Oneday you'll look back & appreciate all the struggles & trials that helped you to become the New You!! We all live & learn, its also good to know we have
all been there at one time or another, hope that comforts you somewhat knowing that : )

Hope you feel a little better now,
Love Blessings!! : )

No problem. I too stumbled on Halloween....I had SEVERAL "bite size" candies - chocolate like milky ways, reeses, take 5, twix, and snickers...I got on the scale and GAINED 1.5 pounds! The next day I got right back on program and added 10 minutes to my walks - I'm now down those 1.5 pounds plus 1 more. Don't avoid the scale, if its bad it will just prove you need to do better.

I can believe you could do that, like me you are human. It's not the stumbles you will remember its the destination that counts keep moving forward, avoiding the scale is standing still....get back on program and you will be fine.

I just sent you a pm
