I just got the chewable calcium citrate plus d from Walmart they come in grape orange and punch. I think they taste like smarties.

Wow now I'm really worried I'm not getting enough calories. I am 2 months and 1 week out and I'm not getting quite 600. I usually get my 60 grams of protein, with cheese meat and muscle milk I make myself do atleast 50 if I have to eat PB late at night and I struggle with water, I drink watered down sunny d to help, I only allow myself 8 oz of SD which is 60 calories. I just don't want to eat. Never ever thought I would say that. I used to laugh when people would say they "forgot" to eat yeSh right who does that?! Now it's noon before my brain even registers hey you need food dummy. I sometimes wish I could get a little hungry!

Unfortunetly i am not close to Wonderland yet, in another 50 pounds sadly. But ill get there. Congrats, and have fun at Disney. I cant wait to go next summer!

thanks so much!

that is the best part. I still automatically walk to the plus side of the store or website. Its like my brain cant fathom it! Ill lift something up and say oh no no way thatll fit. Then it DOES! So exciting!

i think we all get a little paranoid about what we eat. I dont like to eat breakfast so i try to sip on a muscle milk all morning, so when i finally eat breakfast at about noon i worry if im getting enough to eat. Ill be laying in bed at night doing the math on my calories and realize im way under, so ill go eat a spoonful of PB. Myfitness pal yells at me everyday to increase my calories im not eating enough lol. Just eat protein first every time is what i tell myself.

I am so close to 50 pounds i can taste it. 47! im so excited. Hopefully in the next week ill be at my first goal! I cant believe it, so exciting!

a lot of "light" foods have artifical sweeteners which arent that good for you. I agree we eat such small quanties a little bit of fat wont hurt. I looked at a box of Cheeze its last week, the "light" ones had only 10 less calories 2 less grams of fat BUT had 3 more grams of carbs. Whats up with that? i would eat greek yogurt then add some frozen fruit for flavor. the extra calories from the greek yogurt are worth it for all the extra protein! Good luck.

Cheetos "puff corn" it just melts in your mouth. But you can have around 50 for 130 calories, so still better than the 3 candy bars I used to eat. I've had no candy bars since surgery. I keep thinking about donuts but I can't even eat a bite of a biscuit without feeling sick so I'm doubting I could eat a donut.

ive been exhausted for a week now due to the flu. This morning i picked up a 5 hour energy shot and chugged it down as fast as my sleeve would let me. I have had no caffeine nothing "bad" since my surgery but i just needed to get going, even though i know these arent good for me and who the hell really knows what exactly are in them.

i have not yet begun so see the dreaded hair loss, but i am only 2 months out. But i did buy some of the clip on extensions when they were on sale, for just incase, also i have 2 of those cool ponytails on a claw. Bought them off of HSN as long as you have enough hair to cover your scalp, put it in a ponytail or bun, then just clip them on over the pony. They have them in most every haircolor, even frosted and salt and pepper. i got a long sleek one and a short curly. They are good on days when you just wanna sleep or realize too late your hair is a little greasy. You can also catch different brands on sale at Sallys.

i have had the "crud" for over a week now, im still coughing my head off and my right ear is still clogged. It is driving me insande, it makes me not even want to stand up cause i feel lopsided! On the plus side, ive lost about 6 pounds while being sick. Not the healthiest i know, but i went to ER to get fluids so i know im not dehydrated, just cant eat.

one day, food got stuck or something and i took a swig of Water without even thinking and i thought i was going to die. It felt a million times worse than just the food did. It burned, i felt like i was trying to swallow an elephant and was choking all at the same time. I finally got it all to go down and had heartburn the rest of the night. To me it just doesnt seem worth it. Eat wait drink, i am trying to do everything the doc told me to do so i can have the max results. A lot of people say they do it, but its just not a big deal to me, seems like its such a small thing to give up in the scheme of the big picture of getting healthy. But some people say their docs say wait an hour, mine only says 15 minutes so every doc is different.

Right now i would be concentrating on protein first, then worry about the carbs and fat. My nut said at the 8 week mark no more than 100 grams of carbs and 20 grams of fat. If you do protein first then veg then starch you should be fine on the fat and carb content. i do 3 grams of protein, 1 gram veg. if i have any room left i might have a bite of potato. Some days i go over carbs some days im real low, so it balances itself out i guess. i can no longer tolerate the protein powders so I have been drinking muscle milk in the little cardboard boxes, they have 20 grams of protein, 170 calories.

my husband and i play the Wii a lot, we do all the crazy games we wouldve never done before my surgery, i was always too tired. We also go swimming at our gym and a lot lot more of the *winkwink*

after my surgery i had dreams about gravy. Every day for a week or so. And the weird thing is, besides my moms gravy at holidays i never ate gravy. I have a cookie on occassion. I never keep them in the house, i had an oreo and the chocolate turned my stomach. i do enjoy a graham cracker or animal cracker once in awhile, and they arent nearly as bad so i dont feel guilty. i had the flu for a week and lost 9 pounds. For the 2 days afterwards i ate the most food i have eaten since my surgery. I had a whole pack of animal crackers. You know, the ones that comes in that cute box that looks like a zoo lol. and they were DELICIOUS!!! Dont sweat a cookie or two. We have to live as normally as we can, and who doesnt have a cookie once in awhile.

i am already starting a boobie fund just incase. My boobs have alway been a pretty decent size before i got fluffy but if i need them ill buy them. The rest i think ill be ok with. Im exercising daily and my arms are already taking shape, and i can feel my abs under the extra layers so i think if i get a new chest ill be ok with the rest!

uughhhh i have tried them too, but i just cant choke them down, after the fitst drink i was gagging and burning my throat, i tried it warm though, and i had the watermelon flavor. I will have to try the grape and put it in the fridge before i drink it. i will try anything not to have to worry about my protein everyday!

When i didnt put my weight and height and age into elliptical it is way off from my fitness pal, but when i put all that info into the machine its about even. The heavier you are, the higher you get your heart rate you burn more calories. so try to check your heart rate as well while working out. Most machines have the heart rate moniter. I bought a timex heart rate moniter and it is awesome! counts calories, heart rate, and fairly affordable. working wonderfully. Then i just enter calories burned into my fitness pal.

i have been eating by volume, i am eating 3 oz of protein and if im lucky 2 oz of veggies or fruits then i just quit eating. My dietician told me that 4-6 oz a meal will be enough food if you eat 4 meals a day. i dont eat till i feel full.

i have never worn granny panties, why when Lane Bryant has awesome sexy panties, even for the big girls. Right now VS has 15 bucks off 100 so thats a pretty good deal.

My dietician said no to go over 100 carbs a day. i stay around 60-70, when i was at 40 carbs i could barely make it through my hour workouts. I only eat complex carbs. Whole grains, fruits, veggies, nuts. Inless it is "cheatin Sunday" i dont eat white flour, anything with corn syrup, white sugar and try to stay away from artifical sweetners. Im trying really hard to do more natural and get rid of everything artifical in my diet.

i have been able to eat off the Kids menu with no problem, at Hibatchi my daughter and i shared an adults meal. But when we went to the chinese buffet, my husband and daughter got the buffet and they wouldnt give me a deal and i ordered off the menu and they watched us like a hawk. My husband got 3 donuts and the lady told him, that better not be for her lol.

i got a baby bullet and a ninja for Christmas, i LOVE them and use them atleast 2-3 times a week.

For the first month after surgery i weighed myself everyday! It is so exciting the scale being your friend for once! Now i weigh and measure myself once a week. it is exciting to see me lose 6 pounds in a week rather than watching it go down a half pound at a time! I think its to be expected that you weigh yourself every day for awhile!
