You cannot believe how I sound so like you. I have had this stall that is lasting forever and it is about to drive me insane. Keep thinking I am losing all this hair and can't eat much and don't have much energy all for 40+ pounds. I am so frustrated at this point. I stil have 60 to go and see no end in sight an no weight lost for so long after closing in on a little over 3 months. SO FRUSTRATED to the point where I have been avoiding the forums becuse I have no positive news to report.

I have one and LOVE mine so much I bought 2 one for home and one for work. The key is having a Kohls credit card. I can almost always get free shipp and 30% off coupons online and have stuff shipped to home. Pay it off right away and no interest but get to take advantage of their sales with 30% off all the time.... I LOVE KOHLS!

I love mine so much I bought 2 one for home and one for work.

Try the Low Fat Black Bean soup it is awesome and a wonderful staple for me when I was on mushy stage. I LOVE IT! I tried a store bought black bean soup and it was gross. That is too bad because Panera is a little expensive, but 1 bowl would last like 3 meals so I guyess $5 for 3 meals is not too bad.

I got these at Sams Club yesterday and OMG are they good, very soft and moist. We cooked them in a fry pan. Will try them on the grill next time. I wish I had found these sooner when I needed softer foods. Also they are All Nautral & Gluten & MSG Free if that is a concern for you. You can throw them in the microwave too. There are 8 1/4 lb burgers in a pack. They are pre cooked so easy to heat up.

Since you can freeze them for 4 months, I told hubby to pick up a couple boxes in case they decided to quit selling them. If you do see them at a regular store, please let me know.

Today I weighed in at 199.8. I have been fighting a 1-3 pound fluctuation for over a 2 weeks now and finally made it! Yipeeeeee! I haven't been this weight for over 9 years.

You will LOVE Dr. Fearing she is great and she really cares about her patients. She did my surgery on April 11th. I have had a couple of complications (no fault of hers) and she is all over them. MAKE NOTE: Do not let them keep your IV in the same hand over 2 days. I was at Menorah an they did that to me an it caused me to get Thrombosis in my left arm and it is very painful for over a month all because they got a little lazy and didn't want to move it. If it starts to hurt/burn do not let them push any more fluids till they switch it to the other arm. They were awesome to me besides that, but just make sure. From what I read on the forums Malley's keeps us in the hospital a little longer then some I think with 3 days, so the risk is greater. Keep us posted on how it goes.

I made it this morning weighing in at 198.8.... YEAH!!!!!!!

I know exactly what you are saying. I have weighed more then my husband every since we have been together the last 11 years. The top being me at 240 and him at 170 and being the exact same height. I am slowly inching down there, but that would the biggest NSV for me, would be to finally weigh less then he does.

Thank you, I sure an looking forward to it!

I am game, need something to help kick start my weightloss again SN..........Surgery Weight.......Challenge Starting Wt.....Challenge Goal Weight....Lbs to Goal Mystee.............240.............200..................180.............20 EDIT: I decided I am going to push myself working out, so I upped my goal by 5 more pounds. Good luck with your goals everyone!

I have found it depends on the beer. I have tried Blue Moon and it works pretty well also Anheiser Bush has a Blueberry Beer out called Wild Blue that does well. I think beers with less carbonation just seem to work better.

I am right there with you as well! Hopefully by next week we all hit it together!

Congrats on Wonderland! I am right on your heels with less then 2 pounds to loose, but I have been stuck in a major rut and can't get out of it flucating a pound or two every day. Hopefully I will be joining you in Wonderville at least by next week.

You look AMAZING! And are a true inspiration!

I was told NO to both of these from my doc because of the calorie/carb/sugar/protein ratio.

Sleeved April 11th and down 35lbs. Only complications is lack of energy and nausea every time I eat so on medication for that. I had a stall for a little more then 2 weeks, but back on the losing track again or at least I hope. I cannot eat much or drink much so I am only getting in about 40-50 grams of Protein and about 40-60 oz of Water. I am trying to up it but it's been rough doing so. Other then that everything is going good, just wish the weight loss would speed up a bit.

One thing we all need to keep in mind is that Hip is male so it is possible they gave him a bigger stomach because of that fact. It would be nice if more men had posted here for him to compare with.

I was sleeved the same on 4/11 and am having a hard time with food and Water consumtion as well. One thing I found which tastes awesome and has protein is LF Black Bean Soup from Panera's. They are a little pricy for $5 a bowl but it lasts me for at least 3 meals. It taste great and will have Fiber to counter act the cheese and has protein and whole bowl is 170 divided by 3 so not bad. They have a little high carbs but alot of that is fiber. It's been a saving grace for me.

You are right with me. I have lost 25 lbs since surgery as well on the 11th.

I have been having a really hard time getting my food in but just tried the Low Fat Black Bean Soup at Paneras and it taste so great. I am so happy I found it. I have also had some of the Refried Beans, cheese and sour cream but try the Black Bean Soup if your able to.

The GNC AMP 60 is the best I have tasted in choclate. It is very smooth and not gritty. Before Suregery I was using 2 scoops now after surgery 1 to 1/2 and some milk. Also bough some raspberry SF Torani Suryp and add a bit to make shake yummmm! And she is right they do refund your money if you don't like it.
