congrats congrats congrats!

awesome! thanks!

That's an awesome change! congrats!!!

ya! good work, both of you!!!

I feel you. I've stopped losing at 31 lbs and I wrote my nutritionist, will go back to group sat and will start exercising..but I have the fantasy too. Hugs.

mine has group on mondays, tues and sats and events...I will be going this sat.

i was just going to post something similar. I'm finding now that I feel hunger and thirst the same way--a burning in my stomach. so now i'm drinking drinking drinking. I'm trying to do just the 3 and no bored eating. So you're not alone

Just went over this with my doc in group today. Protein: Broccoli, quinoa, fish, chicken, beef, eggs, dairy, beans. Whole grains have some incomplete proteins. I drink as i eat, and i wake up and go to sleep drinking. I drink during the 5 hour lapses between the 3 meals.

My drugs were good. i woke up thinking I was still waiting for the doc! So I didn't have any type of tube memory!

Yes! Mine came on right after, and it wasn't even time! So yeah!

Eureka-C is right. You can do this. Just take your time. it's done and not reversable so just keep movin! it gets better soon.

yes, I'm learning that the process of eating is SLOWWWWW...I'm not used to it either. I put some babyfood meat into potato Soup and blended it...it was okay....any meat I eat or anys olids have to be very liquidy (sauce on it etc.)

Ah....so my body was telling me something. I had a shake for dinner with the optifast from before. and my body loved it...no pain or pressure. slow slips and I know I go cals. ya!

I know that my NUT said max around 800. But I had another woman who was eating 300 to 400 and she stalled. She increased and then lost. I'm confused too.

Every time I eat I can only get 1/4 of a cup of whatever down. I feel like I'm not getting my calories so I sip Protein drinks during the day. I had some spicy food and it's made my stomach sensitive. So today all I wanted was icecream. I 'm tired of eating. I'm tired of finding things to fill my pouch and the slight discomfort. I know I'm learning my body but I just wish I could get a break from the work.....I'm just venting. I know if I dont' get all my cals, I'll stall...I'm just tired of thinking about it.

Congrats Cinderella!

dont forget whipped cream...and jello.....Happy bday!

Omigosh! I was coming to say the same thing! I had fish for lunch and it was "okay" wasn't really tasty. So I finished and ate some rice. I know my stomach was full. I started to have head hunger and I wanted a peice of bignets. I don't know what I was thinking. I felt it get stuck and I had just enough time to make it to the restroom. My stomach was full and didn't want any more I have to chew and wait now too. It's like "are you full now belly?" but I just pushed too far. We'll get used to it.

Day 8 for my doc was apple sause, pudding, smoothie and bananas....refried beans didn't come until day 10-12. But i put some sour cream and guac...in mine. it was heavenly.

yeah, it does feel different, even that 20 lbs. (which is a lot too), yeah the doc said the same thing but I do better with drink. I am soooo thirsty and have eaten and drank with food my whole life. all other food without feels so dry.

I don't have stinkier ones just way more frequent...omigosh!

I think of it as they do with dogs. A good diet and the body gets to use ALL of the nutrients and little is left. the poop is smaller and more compact. So it's a good thing. When I was at my goal weight before, that's how I was. But maybe more fiber to get them out easier!

I love this post! 1. I love putting on clothes that were busting and now they're loose. I wonder how sausage-like I was. 2. I'm a bit more moody....not sure why. 3. I don't miss waking up and my feet feeling swollen and sore and having trouble going up or down the stairs. 4. my skin is glowing again 5. I don't have any food aversions except for fake sweeteners 6. I crave liquid. My urine isn't concentrated but when I eat i want liquid. I've found that it works for me to do both. otherwise I have pain eating. 7. hunger feels like a burning in my stomach. I wish I could get enough in to do just 3 times but the amount I eat is so little it takes little meals. 8. My husband is all kisses and hugs...he was before but it's increased.

yes what she said. One of my group members was below her cals and stalled. Her body went into starvation mode. She kicked them up to 800 and she was losing

2 days and i was just starting water and juice. I barely got anything but if you don't you'll be exhausted like I was. i slept so much but my urine was dark so I kept working on it. if your urine is dark, you need more fluids.
