RYP - Starting Monday - Any Takers?

Hey Everyone! How's things? I am pretty good. Actually, as far as Jersey Kid is concerning, I am GREAT. He started his new day care last week and has been (keeping fingers crossed) healthy ever since! PLUS, he seems to REALLY like it! He rarely says he wants to stay home, anymore...and there are no tears when I drop him off. This is an absolute blessing for me! I am excited (and a little melancholy) about his upcoming birthday (December 8th...he will be 3!! ) and looking forward to the holidays! BUT...I have been eating like a pre-op. I can't believe it! I am still at 170 (my highest since my lowest, if that makes any sense ) and cannot seem to get ANY willpower at all. I used to be the QUEEN of the B2B but I cannot seem to find the willpower to do it these days. So I think this calls for drastic measures! I am going to start the Reset Your Pouch Test on Monday. Hopefully I will still be at 170 (or under!!) on Monday and I can go from there. If I can do that, maybe I will have the confidence to do the B2B for a couple weeks until Christmas! Anyone want to join me? Have a GREAT day, Everyone...and a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love and hugs, Jersey Mom

Hey Jersey, I will post my weight on Monday. I am just like you. I have a 3 yr 8 month old. He has allergies and asthma. On Monday I took him to his pediatrician cause with the California fires I noticed his dark circles under his eyes were getting worse with the smoke and his cough was terrible. In any case I just found out that his dark under-eye cirlces are called "Allergic Shiners" go figure they have a name for everything. So with that said I use every excuse to eat, as I am a stress eater. I have lost 186 lbs. I am still about 70 lbs from goal. I too, like many other post-ops that I have "stretched" my pouch. I will join you. How are we going to check in? I too need to go B2B or I am going to be one of those failures and stuck at just 186 lbs lost. I really want to get my weight moving and I will start exercising too. See what kicking my but into gear really does for me. Then maybe I can get the motivation to continue. Take Care! Norma

I'm game! After the holiday will be good and it will be good practice for me. I'm having a colonoscopy on the 17th and will have to do a clear liquid day the day before the test and then a bowel cleansing - you remember that don't you - So it will be good to de-tox before than. So I'm in babygirl!

OMG... Does that mean you have to do the Fleets Phoso stuff? If so, I am vehemently sorry! I am not sure I could ever do that again!! Was your birthday yesterday? If so, I am so sorry I missed it! I hope you had a WONDERFUL day! All my love! Jersey Mom

Yep, I've already bought the fleets What can you do, I've been putting this off for a long time and my Surgeon, even though he is a real sweetheart, wouldn't let me out of the office until we scheduled the procedure. He knows me so well. He will do the procedure so I have a lot of trust in him and am more comfortable that thinking that someone I didn't know would do it. And yes, yesterday I was officially old. I'm double nickles now. Had a crazy day with lots of running around. Got to go, have another interview this afternoon. Wish me luck!

NOT old, my friend! Not you...no way! I think your surgeon is a sweetheart BECAUSE he would not let you go without scheduling it! That means he cares which is great! Sorry about the Fleets...I really, really am! I wonder if there is ANY way to make that stuff more palatable. Maybe mix it with tequilla? Hee hee ......gag! Have a great day and....GOOD LUCK!!!! Love ya! JM

I am supposed to be on the 5day pouch test right now with Renee and did really well for the liquid phase. Not sure if my comittment is good. I don't seem to be able to stick to it. I am assuming she did not do very good because I see no posts... Hugs, Chris

hey babycakes!!! No you started early on me so I'm waiting until Monday. It's just as well. I had the thanksgiving thingy for my grandparents on sunday. No way to explain that to them and everyone in the family. too embarassing!! Start again with us on monday if you want??? It's my fault. With the holiday it's just setting up for disaster! I'm sorry I can give you my phone number or something if you need someone to talk to when you want some food??? haha I've just started up my exercise and counting cals again (1200ish) and have went from 160.8 (nov.14)-154.4(nov. 21). It's been tough though and the 1200 calories aren't the really good cals so I have a lot of work to do. Renee
