2 Week Stall
I was stalled for 6 weeks I drank a gallon of water a day, raised my calories to 1000, carbs to 95 And completely redid my exercise routine. I lost 3 pounds this week. I think my body was in starvation mode, I spent too long at 700 calories. Good luck I know it sucks!

Thinking About Taking Up Running....
I am still 40 DD and I am on week 5 of C25K I use Marika Magic. I got it at Marshalls and its amazing. They have adjustable hook and eye straps, and adjustable on the side. I got mine at Marshall's for 15.00 bucks. I've tried everything and that seems to hold up the girls best.

Water Aerobics
Oh yeah, my trainer is a beast at Water aerobics. I feel like I've been sweating when I get out of the pool. We do tricep dips of off the side, and get out of the pool for planks during the "ab" portion. It's a great workout!

I'm Here At The Beach And...
Do IT!! I weighed 292 on my surgery day. I felt horrible about myself. Felt horrible last summer at the beach when I was that weight. If your friends love you they will understand you are getting healthy. And you will still have food celebrations. It will take a few months to get back to normal but I celebrate with my family. I don't eat as much ofcourse but I do enjoy a bite of everything. Then I concentrate on the actual reason we are together. It Is completely worth it I promise!

Treat?
If your lucky you'll try it and your stomach won't like it. I had it when I was 4 months out and my stomach revolted! I then processed to try 3 more different kinds, same result, so that's one thing I didn't have to worry about tempting me :-)

I Was So "disappointed"
I go to goodwill weekly. I can't stand for my clothes to be super baggy. My stepmom had gastric bypass and told me to let my baggy clothes be my badge of honor, no need to buy new clothes. I told her my badge was buying clothes that were smaller. I got a ton of clothes for 50 bucks.

How Long Do We Need To Continue Protein Shakes?
I had them through the first 3 months. When I was on all foods I pretty much cut them out. I do crossfit on Saturdays so I still have a muscle milk or a Protein fruit smoothie. I would not depend on protein shots for all my daily protein, they are high in soy protein which isn't as good as whey protein. Whey is the best for WLS patients.

My Scale Lies I Know It!
I only weigh myself at the gym now. They have a fancy high end one that measures just about everything. I had a weight watchers one and in a fit of rage I threw it out the window, took less than 2 minutes for my dog to mark his territory hahahahaha. I thought it was hilarious. Man who bought scale, not so much :-D

1500 Calories
My nut told me at 8 months to be at 1200, my SUREGON told me 700-900 was good for the losing phase, so even in the same office there are disagreements. Lol. Im staying at 800 till I feel bad or get to goal.
