Yup! I know most of us are good girls and boys and practice the rules to the best of our abilities... I hope the rant reaches those who may BY CHOICE not be doing so... you know? Angie http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie

Yes, I have experienced that and by the end of the day I felt so guilty. I realized that I was using food to cope with difficult feelings as I did in the past. I had slipped back into old eating habits that fast. The most important thing for me was to recognize the problem, be honest with myself and another for accountability, and start over by doing the next right thing, which is following the pouch rules. I hope this helps. Taking It One Day At A Time, Tracy

Hi Angie! You're right, I am one of the members who have a hard time getting protein in; do ok with the vitamins and I try to comply with my doctor's protocol daily. Even though I have a hard time getting it down, does not mean that I do not appreciate the wonderful gift my doctor gave me. I believe that even though the doctors do not understand us; they do know that they have saved us and for the most part; there are more wls members out there following their doctor's protocol as required even if we complain about it.

hey lisa we need a lil more info like what your eating how close you are to goal etc etc if your excersizing what portions you are able to eat etc etc try and give as much info as possible and we shall all have a go over it and give it our opinion

Thank YOU for getting the reason for my post. As time moves on, it's easier to start forgetting, and I personally appreciate reading stuff like this to help me refocus and stay on track! Hugs, Angie http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie
