@Fabricnut- Maybe take your 1200 (or whatever your amount is) calories & multiply them by 7= 8400. That is your calories for the week. Play with your amounts for the day, like 1500 one day & 1000 the next day, 1200 the next as long as you keep to the week's max. Keeps your body guessing!
Went to Joann's today with my 60% off coupon. I am making slipcover type pads for our outdoor furniture & was able to use it on something for those. We have sling type mesh chairs that are all discolored & I saw some pads for them somewhere so I thought I'd give it a try. Went to Tuesday Morning too. They had lots of fat quarter bundles & 2 yard pre packs. I didn't get any but did pick up some thread snips.
Just did 1.50 miles on the treadmill. I'll weigh in tomorrow & see what the damage is!
Thank you so much! A fill is where the surgeon puts fluid into the port that is placed under the skin in order to make the band tighter and the banded person less hungry and make the pouch even smaller. The general rule is if you are getting hungry between meals then you need a fill. My first fill will be one month after surgery. It should be interesting to see what I am able to eat and drink post-op. :)
