New to group...

Hi Brandi! 
It looks like everyone has give you some great advice!  I just wanted to welcome you to BOTT!  The only advice I have that helps me, is to plan you meals before you start your day and post it.  This way, you know what you are to eat and are prepared, it helps keep you stay on track!

Thanks Deb.  I've been shocked at the challenges that I've faced this week!  I feel like I'm detoxing from drugs or something.  Last night, I wanted to eat so bad...but I made good choices and I was rewarded this morning on the scale.  Down 5.5 pounds so far!

Congrats on your loss so far!! 

Thanks!

Hi Brandi!

I am new to the group, too!  Just found it a couple of days ago.  I am going to start the 5-Day Pouch test on Monday.   

I have not seen my surgeon in three years!    That is so bad, I know.  But he stopped taking my insurance and then I did not want to go in the past two years because my weight was up.  So what I did was schedule an appointment for the end of May.  I figure I can safely lose 20 lbs by then and I will not feel so bad going back and feeling like a failure!  Plus, my surgeon is so yummy!  More incentive!

I love your expression...carb-a-palooza...it really made me laugh! I am living that life right now although am TRYING to break free a little before the pouch test.

Congratulations on doing the test so successfully and on the weight loss!! 

Have a great day!
