Here is my menu for today: B-Protein shake L-2 oz of tuna made with greek yogurt S- cheese stick or chicken Jerky D- 1 filet of talipia Water - 33 oz of poweraid zero and 17 oz of water on the way home vites - already taken exercise- 20 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of weight work at the gym on lunch.

How does PMS affect you and the scale? I did not really notice it last month but know that I will be starting soon and was just wondering how to prepare myself....

Love this idea!!! I need new ideas..... B-Carnation Breakfast shake L-slice of turkey D- Protein shake!! with my poweraid zero and my Water with my k2o protein mix in.

Thank you!!!

What stages are all of you at when you are eating these meals?

Thank you!!! It feels great!!!

Scale this morning said 199.6 soooo that means my sleeve sisters that I have only .4 left to go????? I hope that tomorrow is my day!!!! If it is then I am setting another little mini goal of 5 lbs!!!!! I am SOOOOOOO excited!!!!

I would try to follow WW as much as possible. There have been many people who have lost weight with WW (including me 50lb in 2007 but gained it all back). Make sure that you journal everything that you put in your mouth.

You will. It may seem bad not but you will have no desire to eat anything. Get a good chicken broth and some tea and you are going to be great.

Nope. I am all good at night.

Let me jump on this bandwagon also. I am 4 weeks out also and for the last week, it was a trickle; .8, .4 and then yesterday it was .2 today it is a big fat 0. I am also discouraged to a bit. I have lost 23 lbs in 4 weeks but I am not liking this stall. This is for the birds. I am going to try to limit my carbs and see if that can shake things up. I am going to try to work out tonight but I am not sure if I will be able to get to do it. I know that I will be working out Friday (been a rough week at work). I hope and pray that it does not last long. Good luck to you!!

Someone else recommended this and I am going to try that tonight!!!

Congrats to you!!!

Thank you!! I will look at it when I get home

How many calories are you consuming after surgery at 4 weeks?

Today I am 4 weeks out and I am kinda stressing about supper tonight. I am making the fam spaghetti and I am worried about what I should be eating tonight. I am trying to limit my carbs to under 20 a day. I really would appreciate some suggestions!!!!

Before I got my sleeve, it was nothing for me to drink 3 liters of water a day. Since having my sleeve I think that I can count on one hand how many times I have had water, plain water. I will drink it with K2O or the SF FF peach tea mixes that they have but I just can not bring myself to drink plain water. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I have had some crazy dream from food to being lost to sex. Some of them I remember and some of them I don't. Some seem so real and some are like I am watching a movie. Crazy!!!

I have not really counted because I am in the mushies stage and some of the foods that I eat are higher in carbs than what I like. I will tell you this, now that I am in the mushies, I will be eating a lot more foods that are lower in carbs than what I had been. I plan on starting that next week. I was losing a pound to a pound and a half per day and right now I am just losing anywhere between .6 to .4 per day. I have always noticed that I do lose better when I watch my carbs.

I am not attraced to food at all but I don't think that I could do the baby food. It totally turns me off and can not bring my self to eat it. I know that maybe I should but I can't. I may just get the mashed potatoes and share with my little boy. I know that he would like them. Or I may just eat my cottage cheese.

Tonight my husband is going to the camp, so it is just me and the kiddo's. They are wanting Popeye's for supper and I am kinda stressing out. Pre surgery, Popeye's was on of my weaknesses. Tonight is going to be a test. I am not tempted in the least for the chicken but I am just wondering what do I get. I know that they have mashed potatoes and red beans. I am thinking that either one of those would be okay? Or if I should just stay away completely and get something at home?

I will get like that. Matter of fact, I was like that last night. I just wanted to graze. I find that when I eat faster that I feel more restriction. When I eat slower, I notice the hunger "feelings' more. I ate my 1/4 cup of canned chicken and a bit of refried Beans and a little salsa today over 30 minutes and I was stuffed. Could not even finish what I had. I am going to have to work on eating more slowly.

I agree with you LilMissDiva!!! An inspiration to all of us!!!

I also have small kids. I have a 5 yr old, a 4 yr old and a 5 month old. My 5 yr old is already aware of being fat. She is already worrying about how she looks and if she looks fat. She has told me that she does not want to be fat. Like you I try to encourage as much physical activity as possible and healthy eating. I know that they are kids and will want kid food but I do try to stress the importance of healthy eating to both of them. They are not aware that I had surgery and I will tell them when the time is right. Like you I was put on many diets when I was little. I know that from past experiences that I WILL NOT tell my child that she is on a diet. I think that telling them that will do more damage than good. Just keep stressing the importance of eating healthy and the physical activity!! Good Luck!!
