Several Questions

shakes can be meals or snacks - count those too - SB definitely counts unless you are drinking WATER or PLAIN herbal tea - then add them to your water for the day

Remember you can't cheat, your surgeon wants you to do good, so do we but you are the one you have to be honest with - you know what works for you - do that

I had my surgery to be HEALTHY and that means I eat, drink, move and take my vits,

I wanted to be healthy to enjoy life - please take the time tonight to stop and THINK what your goals are -not the I want to lose ### pounds but your overall life goals - I want to play with my kids and hike and bike with my husband, I don't ever want to embarrass my kids b/c I'm the fattest mom there. I want to live to see my grandchildren and grow old with my best friend.

Those are the things that keep me honest with in MYSELF!!

Thanks Danni for this. It helps to be reminded of goals versus the number. Have heard several things over the past years, and have to re formulate what works for me.

Really?  You are asking this at how many years out and the number of times you've come here seeking advice?

If it goes through your lips, it counts. 

This is equivilent to wondering if you use a condom, does it not count as having sex.

Really?....

I thought OH TMB was a place to come and seek advice and to gain information and not to be made like you are wrong...

I was coming to ask to clarify because of the years I have heard several things.

But I am not going to justify the questions I ask. I just do not appreciate being made to feel bad for asking!

You could have just not responded.
