August 3rd!

I wish I'd known you were here before! I'm so happy to see other people in a similar part of the journey. God bless you all!!! I'm so excited for us!!!

Me too, mine was 8/4 and I am feeling great! 

Mine was aug 3rd too. i dont want to be a downer but man am i sick of liquids. i still have all the food cravings andhunger.  i got the lap band done.  i should be more positive. it took me 2 yrs to qualify!!  now i am complaining. whats wrong with me? all i want to do is eat and i am thinking maybe it wasnt worth it if i cant eat now. how stupid does that sound???

Not stupid at all!! My family isn't too sensitive, and they've been eating KFC and Taco Bell right in the same room, and it smells delicious.  When I COULD eat that stuff, I rarely did, but smelling it makes me want to rip it out of their hands!!!

But, then you sit back and realize that you've been given a gift, an opportunity, and you gotta work it. *hug* We all feel your pain!!

thanks for your support. i feel better today.  lots of idle time though!!  in a much better mood.  i worked hard to get this done i need to embrace it instead of thinking of all the french fries and tacos i am missing.

 I also had surgery on August 3rd and think that i am doing well, but I am not getting in enough protein or water.  The thought of eating what I can eat makes me nausea but then I see a bacon cheeseburger or smell a friends lunch and think I would love to eat that.  The good news is I know I can't eat it so I dismiss the thought quickly.  

I feel like I am eating and drinking all day, but I never feel full.  I hope my pouch is not too big already!  I can am eating 4 oz. of cottage cheese with no problem.    I haven't tried to eat more than 1/2 cup.
