You are great! You sound just like April!!!!!!! You are right I
really should lean back on Proteins and more water. However, I dont
know how many more sticks of cheese and beans I can eat. Meats are
still very difficult for me to get down so I just dont eat them I do
eat some chicken now and then. I am going tomorrow to get another
fill I had my last one in Oct. I did have some taken out in Jan/Feb
after seeing Dr. Fox he wanted some taken out after I was having such
a difficult time with keeping food down. So I do think I am overdue
to get another one since I am able to eat much more. I am doing some
different exercises. I do a Spin Class on Tuesday's and Thursday's
and on the other day's I do the treadmill and elliptical and occ. the
stair climber. Anyhow. I also am having the worst sweet tooth known
to man. Yeap. Its bad Its really bad once I get home from work and
want to snack. Got any suggestions on how to either eliminate or
substitute the craving. Thanks so much for offering your support and
your advise. I am going to ask about the Aftercare Program I am not
sure if anyone has mentioned that or not. If so I didnt listen.
Thanks again.
