    Re: A shamed!

    I surround myself with appropriate foods. I give in to my cravings or hunger all the time but the difference is that I reach for the right foods. Sweet cravings? A handful of dry cereal or a...
  4. Re: How did you set you ULTIMATE WEIGHT GOAL?

    I think BMI is BS. Yes it is a guide and should be used sparingly. Here is how I backup my statement. I was 240 pounds with a BMI of 37. Now I am 175 and my BMI is 26.6. I have a 32 inch waist...

    Re: Why did I do this to myself???

    Yes, I suffered from "Dumping" it does go away after a while. Now I only get it once in a great while. Eating ice cream is not a sin if you just have it once in awhile. I cruise on Royal Caribbean...

    Re: Is this typical after surgery? Ugh !

    I would say the headaches are your caffeine withdrawal and will subside over the next few days. As to the pain near the incisions, I would call my surgeon if I were you. I had no pain whatsoever...

    Re: I slipped up!

    I had a dinner out while on pre-op liquid diet and was fine. I had lean meat no starch and some veggies. You won't ruin anything with one meal.

    Re: 3 Month Update

    6 more months would be acceptable. I don't understand why with the amount of calories I consume and expend but it is what it is.

    Re: 3 Month Update

    Yes the 30/30 rule is no liquids 30 minutes before or after food intake. I've heard 15 minutes is good too and sometimes I have to admit I'm closer to that than 30, given my hectic eating schedule...

    Re: It isn't the Same!

    I will wait for the real thing. So far nothing I liked before is not appealing to me I don't think. I am just not hungry that much so I am not missing too much of anything since I want nothing.
