20 more minutes

I usually go to bed at 8:00 pm.  First cause I own the remote and can watch what I want on tv.  I did it !! I made it all day on liquids.  and in 20 mins. I get to go to bed, so I know now, I can do it.  You know I wasn't hungry, belly hungry, I was head hungry, I wanted to munch on something.  Lets see how it worked on my scale tomorrow???  Happy Easter to all of my Friends out there....  Honnnkkk 

Oh you must feel so good about yourself. I knew you could do it.

Oh my gosh! You and I could never have a sleepover! I don't go to bed until 1:30am! I have always been a real night owl and so is my mother. She is 78 and has a bit of dementia starting and  the only reason she is adamant about not going into assisted living is because they will make her get up before noon! LOL. At leaser I am up at a normal time (for me anyway ...7am). I'll bet you are up a whole lot earlier. Do you actually go to sleep at 8pm?

Terri, lol  I worked 2nd shift for many many years and always thought I was a night owl, my husband always worked 1st shirt (worked out great for babysitting, he was awsome with babies).  so, He and his whole family, are early risers, so early it is usually still dark out.  so Now I have become early bird too.  My mom and dad love to sleep in and stay up till 2 am making puzzles.  I always offer to take them to dr. appts. and such since i'm avail all day, but NO WAY, she would have to get out of bed before noon.  OH, well, I can't do it after noon cause I have to be home for when my little man comes home on the bus and they live 30 mins away. so anyway.  I usually turn off my tv around 10:00pm and am up by 6:00, even on weekends.  I just can't wait to come on here and talk to alll you beautiful ladies.  Happy Easter Terri........cheryl

Yay good for you!! Now you know you can do it! Honking from Lovell!!! Can you hear me? I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired, good night

I kinda had a headache, but was weird all day. like my ears kept blocking, I felt light headed.  I should be used to that. haha I lost 1 Freakin lb. shoot, I thought I'd be in a size 8 this morning.  dang !!!

don't be so rough on yourself. it was only 1 day. i'm 5 weeks out tomorrow and down 22 pounds. just stay consistant and you will lose. avoid salt and alcohol, exercise, drink your water and if you stay on liquids get the 60-80 g. of protein. once your body burns off the sugar stores it will knock on your fat stores for energy and that is not as efficient as sugar stores. give your body time to adjust. enjoy a balance of foods now. you'll miss them later.

happy easter cheryl!

Lisa, has it been 5 weeks already, wow.... I read everything you girls have been writing and nothing against it, and please understand, I really wish there was someone on here that has had the band.  I hate going to the band site, I like it here.  I just dont' want to get discouraged cause you girls are doing so well and loosing so fast.  I know I will be much slower, but I know my brain will want to keep up with you guys.  I don't want to get down with myself.  YOu girls are all so terrific, and I'm so proud of the way you guys are so serious and such good roll models.  I just feel like I won't have anyone to compare notes with.  I know Shelli had the band, so at least I can ask her.  I hope there will be someone around my date.  Please don't take this the wrong way, cause I don't mean it that way.  I am really glad tho, that the rules and the surgeries are very similar so that is encouraging.  I thank you all so much for all your support.  You are doing so well, 22 lbs. awesome job....
