Just mentally, DEFEATED...and scared that I really screwed up my band. Physically everything is fine except I'm low on energy but better today than yesterday thanks to my SUPER VEGGIE SOUP! (DOn't do it, it's yucky!- Spinach, parnips, carrots, cabbage and celery...all in the juicer and strained. It's UGLY and tastes like dirt. But I sent 55 emails for work this afternoon sooo....)

Wow you guys are all so awesome!! I am going to have a protein shake TONIGHT...or soup...yuk...I have been using my juicer like crazy, veggie broths, fruit juices...straining them...now I am ready for something else!! hehehe....OK, you guys convinced me...liquids only...I couldn't do it without you. And you're right about my husband, when I start losing weight, his curiosity will get the best of him and he will eventually like it...if he doesn't, oh well...there are plenty of things I don't like about him! So it's ok! We still love each other...I have learned over the years not to depend on him too much for emotional support...that's what my friends are for. Unfortunately, most of my friends have big mouths or wouldn't understand...so guess what? YOU GUYS ARE MY NEW BFF'S!!!!

Hiii...yes, I did meet you in the van! Thanks for writing!! I think you're right about my husband...he will get over it...as long as I don't talk about it. Since the kids don't know, and my folks are both in the medical field and I can't tell them or they would flip, and my BFF is far far away...I am just feeling so isolated! How was your trip down to Ensenada? I was so sick on the train ride home, threw up twice...I don't know how you were able to get around so quickly!

THANKS everyone!! I am going to try harder...staying out of the kitchen is a good idea. Last night the kids were gone and I couldn't bring myself to fix dinner for my hubbie...I was so exhausted and hungry...so instead of fixing himself something, he just went to bed...I know he's trying to make me feel guilty...but I really did feel bad. I made myself some veggie broth/soup with my juicer today, hopefully this helps. I really don't like protein shakes BLAH. I will get some tonight and see if that helps. I had some plain yogurt this morning...yuck. I've been eating the same thing for breakfast every day for 2 years...eggs and spinach...and I am having SUCH BAD CRAVINGS for that!!!...so this just feels wrong. 13 days to gooooo! Funny, I really don't like ice cream and I was craving it so bad last night!

Hi All, I had the surgery a week ago today, and I did great the first 5 days not eating anything but broth, now I am really hungry all the time and all i can think about is food...maybe i just have too much time on my hands and I am bored, but seriously!! I have to say, I cheated...I ate a few shrimp and a cookie, chewed them up really really well and now I feel terrible. Did anyone else blow it like me? Risk flushing their 6 grand down the toilet and ruining their chances of losing weight? I am really scared. I feel fine but ??? I have NO SELF CONTROL! This is bad... So, please let me know if I will be ok, if you know... Also, the only person who knows about my surgery is my husband who is not supportive, doesn't want to talk about it )I went to Mex alone) and sure doesn't want to hear me complain about it. So I am really looking forward to making some new friends. Thanks! Storm
