And you don't want to do that! Yeah, just continue cooking healthy dishes because that helps a lot. Keep on looking for alternatives to junk food and all those bad stuff.

I am so nervous everytime I am posting one of my almost naked ones, your body is very in proportion and you really don't look like you have 65 pounds left to lose you are gonna look even better with them off. Here are a fewbooks I have recently bought I havent tried a lot of recipes in them yet but they are really well done. Recipes for life after weight loss surgery by margaret m. furtado and lynette schultz and eating well after weight loss surgery by patt levine and michele bontempo-saray. there is a lot of great information in them and loads of recipes. I hope this helps .hav a great week endJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178726728920889457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050229473581261213.post-9055347318303377152010-03-26T23:09:18.180-05:002010-03-26T23:09:18.180-05:00The psychiatrist said something really important t...The psychiatrist said something really important to us at one of our last sessions:<br />"Don't let a lapse become a re-lapse."<br /><br />Since you recognize that you did eat more than you needed, I think you are doing great.

I have a similar figure except not nearly as youthful and lovely as yours! <br /><br />I totally hear you. The deal is, you are not at your sweet spot. I think once you get there the temptations are much fewer. Honestly. Until then, it is more work.<br /><br />I would advise against "punishing" yourself with SlimFast. The best thing to do is pull out your surgery info on post-band eating, and follow it exactly. Slimfast is really bad for the band because it does not use the band at all! Eat some good protein - like some turkey and cheese - in the recommended amounts. Then see how hungry you really get. Don't worry if the scale does not show what it is "supposed" to at your next fill. It is more important to get band eating down right. <br /><br />Just my opinion - because I have gone through the EXACT things you are describing! <br /><br />Keep up the faith, you are going to be beyond a knockout when you get through this.<br /><br />And totally jealous about the jeans! Yay for you.Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414571860592267584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050229473581261213.post-16350300516487705962010-03-26T00:27:25.472-05:002010-03-26T00:27:25.472-05:00This journey is a rollercoaster.

This blog has some good recipes and nutrition tips http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com<br /><br />There are also some cookbooks out there specific to eating with a lapband. I can't recommend any, because I don't have my band yet, but it's something else you could check out. <br /><br />You are lucky to have such a nicely proportioned figure.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050229473581261213.post-72199523195891244442010-03-25T23:09:15.066-05:002010-03-25T23:09:15.066-05:00Good for you for posting those pics.

Don't tell yourself Chinese and Mexican are off the list. Instead, tell yourself you can have one or the other every week on one specific day at one specific meal. And let yourself have it. If you go for no-no-never, you will just crave it and eat more of it when you have it. It's ok to eat the stuff. But if you can control what you eat then you will actually even enjoy it more. It's ok to eat the stuff. Say it with me.<br /><br />You are doing great, girl! You are gorgeous and you ARE losing! Relax, take a deep breath, and commit to another day tomorrow like today.LDswimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047339088972152520noreply@blogger.com
