i was between 600-800...last week i was told to up it to 1000, which is honestly hard to do, in between drinking Water etc the highest I have been able to do is 900 and something. and still no movement. Just trying to figure out how to up my calories and still eat healthy food, and stay low carb...honestly this is annoying

Thanks

thanks so much.

I am using fat secret on my blackberry and definitely track everything that goes into my mouth. I know stalls are part of the process...but I am getting frustrated, and quite honestly depressed. Everyone keeps asking how much weight I have lost, and it's hard to say nothing. I just want to capitalize on the "honeymoon period" and it seems like time is slipping away and this is only going to get harder and harder. My mood has noticeably changed...i am at work almost to tears....

Congrats!!

Congrats and good luck on your upcoming wedding

U look great!

I have learned that people just dont know what to say when weight is concerned. the funny thing is i think ppl are speculating but they dont know how to ask...and ppl that ask if I on a diet I just answer yes. I have a male friend who likes plus sized women, and he was like "STOP you are losing too much weight now" I am 280 lbs stop it dude ppl have their own opinions and comfort levels with you and how u SHOULD look...esp if u have always been heavy, the heavy friend/family member etc. My mom was anti surgery, now she is more supportive, but her latest comments, have been that I can't possibly be healthy consuming so little, and that my muscles are going to atrophe, and organs fail and all this... my answer was just pray they dont ughhh

YES!!! It's like God forbid Sam should be smaller than me ever

great idea! i bought cheddar flavor soy crisps last week they were good and satisfied that snacky salty craving

Thats great!!

How far out from surgery you are what percentage have you lost? Today makes 6 wks I lost 62 lbs total, 44 was before surgery. i want to lose about 95-100 more How many times a day are you eating? 3 meals and 1-2 Snacks . What is the amount of normal food (non liquid) you are now able to get down? about 4 ozs What kind of supplements are you taking? Types and Brands CVS chewables mutli-Vitamins (yuck), Iron supplements, Biotin How much Protein are you supposed to be getting and how much are you actually getting in daily and what are your sources of protein (brands of shakes etc), I shoot for 60 minimum, and I have been getting in 65-80 How much Water you are actually getting down each day at least 64 oz What is your exercise routine, type of exercise, and how often nothing in particular right now...started lifting weights yesterday How is your energy level? getting better, but I notice i am sleepy earlier...

i think u look fine....I am gonna do what my bff said...base my goal on what makes ME comfy...what other ppl think is irrelevant

that was me

Pain is definitely subjective. I remember I went out for the day with friends a week after surgery and i came home in immense pain...i was so scared. now 6 weeks later i am pain free...just go at your own pace. Eventually it'll subside. And take your meds if need be.

I've been doing so well...and here I am in the midst of a stall...hitting six weeks and i CRUMBLED Another baby shower yesterday....and food and Desserts galore then I saw it CANNOLIS ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....i had 4 and a mini cupcake i know i was well over my 1000 cals help

good advice...

Thanks so much! I think it's because I felt like it was too soon to fall off the wagon. But I won't dwell on it. Treats are a part of life. It's just about balance, which is where so many of us have had trouble before.

so true

yes Candace! failure is not an option!

Well i just finished week one of a stall...i didnt gain cannolis and all lol But I hope it's over soon

ditto

Thanks guys. Back to the regularly scheduled program. I wont be around cannoli's and cupcakes every day. Thanks guys for keeping me accountable.

cant wait to find out
