Sweet Spot maybe!!!

Ok so I know I'm only a day after this recent fill but I'm feelin' good. I was drinking water all morning and added a chocolate milk. it's called shamrock farms rockin' refuel b/c it's a regular sized12 oz. bottle of choc milk w/ 20gms of protein. and it's super yummy! I only allow these on liquid days b/c they are still 300 calories a pop, so when you're eating food too it just makes your calories too high.

So now midday I've had 2 of those (so about 40gms of protein) and no food. This am I hankering to chew on something so we have these little peanut butter CUPS in the cafe that are little containers that hold like 1 tablespoon of reg creamy peanut butter. So I had that in like 10-15 tiny bites and I felt sooooo full after. I'm so optimistic that this is the fill.

I got some veggie soup to try this afternoon but I will naw it to death b/c I'm not supposed to be on mushies until tomorrow. But I came illprepared to work today w/o liquid/watery stuff to eat/drink.

I told another co-worker today about my surgery b/c I was feeling so good about the nearly 30 lbs down. She's new but i love her to peaches and she's such a sweet heart, I see her being a good friend. She was so optimistic, curious, and nice! She was a big cheerleader. She's overweight as well, but she's TALL. She's cute.

Anyway, so I guess I'm done blogging while at work. I hope I don't get caught, hehe. I just wanted to say real quick THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT! I LOVE ALL YOUR COMMENTS, THEY REALLY HELP BRING ME THROUGH.

I should be getting my magic bullet and the bullet express in the mail within the next week (b/c I didn't pay for xtra shipping and stuff) and I'm excited to try it out.

Have an awesome hump day!
xoxo,
liz

    Good job on being good with the peanut butter bites, I would not have shown such restraint. LOL
    I was ill prepared for being on liquids last week when I had my fill, so I did mushies that day and the day after and it was fine. I'd be interested in that Rockin Fuel. Where do you get it?

    I just had my 5th fill on Monday and I think I may be THIS close to hitting my sweet spot. I think one more fill and I'm there! You will love your Magic Bullet -- so many cool things you can make!

    Wow- those little bits of peanut butter filled you up that much!!!

    Awesome. I can't even imagine!

    According to your handy dandy chart, this is your third fill at 7.5 ccs. Interesting.

    Can't wait to hear more as you get a better sense of restriction and how mushies and solids go down.

    Oh and I seriously love that expression: love her to peaches. Never heard it before but I can't wait to use it!

    Ramona- the rockin' refuel is made by SHAMROCK FARMS MILK, which is a local place here in Az. Az cows , AZ milk. So I don't know about the availability. I'm sure somewhere there is a choc milk w/ added protein that tastes good.

    Alexis- I'm stoked about the bullet, super duper stoked!

    Brooke- Yes this is my third fill. My surgeon was aggressive w/ the first two, he said he makes the decision based on my WL, how I feel, what I'm eating etc. I go thru thsi whole survey everytime I go in. I'm glad he has been b/c this fill I asked him to do smaller and this is either the sweet spot or damn close to it. I've never had this restriction even the day after a fill. So this week will give me a better idea.

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
