WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
Afternoon LW's!!! Just went to visit my Mom at the Nursing home and now I'm trying to finish lunch in what's left of my lunch/break time. My Nephews baby reveal is tomorrow. I'm sooo excited. I so badly want him to have a girl but no matter what he will be a Great Dad.

Thanks guys. I have been told I carry my weight well. No one ever believes me when I tell them I am 200 lbs. 200 at 5'3'' is not good for me. It's nice to know I have somewhere to turn if I need the support.
Lap band 5/2010 lost 37 lbs regain 22.
5/19/17 Surgery consult 201.6 lbs
6/15/17 approved by insurance(started liquid diet) 194.7lbs
6/28/17 Surgery weight 184.4
NO is the answer to your last question!!!!! This is exactly why we have this Lightweight Board to post on!! I've been so thankful to have my lightweights to share my struggles and victories with!!
Some of us have felt uncomfortable or taken abuse on the "regular" Obesity Help boards. This is my only support group because I felt so out of place just sitting in the waiting room for my Surgeon appointments that I never went to any of the support groups that were available to me.
I am 8+ years out and I am still amazed how much my life has benefited with the extra 84 pounds that I have kept off.
OH...and I don't rely on dense protein to get my protein requirements in. I swear by Whey Protein and if I have dense protein then that's just an added bonus.

Afternoon LW's!!! It's Wednesday and I just got our monthly attendance sheets caught up. I pay Day Cares who have Subsidy Children attending and it amazes me how many days the kids miss. One more month in the fiscal year to calculate and then a fresh start....YEAH!!

I think it's a shame that parents wouldn't take the kids to get their checkups etc. especially if it's covered.
Taco Soup sounds interesting.
I like your variety in shakes.

I feel the same way you do. When I got to the support meetings I am the smallest one there. It is my own internal dialogue. I don't "look" that overweight but I am by about 100 pounds. As the PP stated, you have just as much right as the others. I try to tell myself that it is my journey and it is ok if other folks don't want to come along with me.
Hello LW's ~ My calls this week are to patients that need an A1C to check their diabetes. Most know what it is and they need it, but getting them in is the biggest problem. I get them scheduled then they are a no show. Same things with their kids. There's no co-pay for the kids because they are on Medicaid, but they just don't always see the importance of bringing them in for a well child checkup. We work with several health insurance companies so our lists are never finished.
Today's eats:
Premier Protein (30 grams)
Quest breakfast bar (12 grams)
Taco Soup topped with cheese; Bing cherries
Quest Hero.....YUMMO (15 grams I think)
Ideal shake (11 grams)

You have as much right to be there as anyone. Maybe you're the smart one...getting ahead of this before it gets worse. You've got this. Do what you need to do.
