Happy Wednesday Everyone! B- Drinkable Yogurt S-Green Tea L-3oz Talipia, peach and was going to eat some sweet potatoe, first bit i knew to stop D- Pinto Beans and Green Beans ( want something kinda soft today, this is what I have planned) Weights... Drank my green tea!

Since being banded my biggest obstacle has been Ice Cream. I have NEVER been a big sweet eater but this has came full force. I have not for the "cure" for this, however I did find an Ice Cream shop that has 8 calorier per ounce, zero sugar, zero carb,zero fat Yogurt and it is wonderful! I have them top it with sliced almonds in place of the "candy crunch". This has worked really good for me. Carrie

WOW !!! Congrats to EVERYONE....YAHHHH WE ALL DID GREAT!!!!!!! Kristy and Sabrina- 80 lbs is soooo Awesome! You too work very hard and I just wanted to say congrats! Krisy, Tell your daughter thank you very much, so very nice of her! Hubby has worked very hard. I know he dont have the band but in a little less than a month I am going to post a new set of pics. Nov 14th will be my one year, AMAZING. I feel like he has worked just as hard and encouraged me soooo much Im going to include some before and after pics of him as well.. He has been so great through this! The black gown...WOW do I hate that pic now...lol HOWEVER it shows me just how far I have came.... Carrie

I LOVE this show and cry every week! The only one that I am not too fond of is Tracy, however I guess she is just playing the game. I could not live with myself... It is really hard for me to watch every week bacause I hope they all do good and I dont want to see any of them leave.... Carrie

Angie, You are doing so great!! Congrats you are going to catch me pretty soon!!! I AM happy to report that I did FINALLY break my platau!!!!! I am 190.4 this morning. ohhhh how I would have LOVED to see 189, but I was SO EXCITED to see that damn scale move!!!! I emailed Dr. Mirdana yesterday and she is putting me on a pretty strict excerise food routine for 15 days 100% no exceptions. I walked 2.5 miles last night and today official starts my 15 days.... The food is pretty much what I am doing now, bake or grilled white meat, veggies and a fruit for lunch and dinner, Breakfast will be a drinkable yogurt or 1 cup of cook oatmeal. I just have to stay away from the "other" food and drinks. I will do weights 3x per week and walk 5 miles 3x per week! This morning gave me the motivation to really want to do this!!!! Carrie

I can do this for 15 days!!!!!

NO fat, NO sugar, No carbs and 8 calories per ounce...Had this about 6 (Not a good dinner) S-Pack of Peanut butter crackers ( not a good choice) 20 oz of water

Thank you! Yes he does it WAY more than I do, it is a REALLY HARD set of vidoes. He has 4 weeks to go to complete his 90days! He has worked EXTREMLY hard, very proud of him. It take a little room to do them, but we do them together in our living room and have plenty of room. As for as the six pack, not there yet, but he is getting close. I think he is going to start the vidoes over if he is not where he wants to be at the end of the 4 weeks. Carrie

Thanks for that input, I forgot that he switched bands and I have the old band....... Carrie

Yes that is my Hubby! He was really a good sport this weekend, we had ALOT of fun! I have some cute pics that I am going to swap out from time to time that we took..... Red, Thank you very much, how is everything going with you??

I just wanted to write, dont think anyone answered your question. If you got banded at the OCC, (sorry did not look) you have nothing in your band. The phase that you are entering is known as "Bandster Hell" because YOU have to control the food that you eat. The band will control to a point, but it will get easier to eat more and more until you cant get your fill. I actually went back 2 weeks after my first fill and got my second. I would suggest to you to start weighing your food and counting your calories. Stick to the bandster eating rules as much as you can and if you do this, you will be ok until you get some restriction with a fill. Hang in there, you will do GREAT! Carrie

Sabrina, That is a really good thing. Alot of people including myself struggle with that. It is a really hard thing to do. I have always been a big girl...I really need to let alot go and start feeling that I too deserve this feeling, its alot of work, nothing easy about this journey!! Best of luck to you! Carrie

Thanks everyone!! We had a WONDERFUL time this weekend. Everyone should take a weekend and make it extra romantic!!! It was SO nice........... Kristi, girl you look AWESOME!!!!

Sabrina, Just wanted to say congrats. Its amazing how everthing changes.....Keep up the good work, you are doing amazing........... Carrie

Angie Way to go girl...3.1 lbs is AWESOME!!!! You are doing great!!!!! Keep up the good work! I have looked back over my food log and sugar is such a hard thing for me.
