  1. Glad to hear all is ok with the mammogram- yes waiting is the hardest part . But it goes fast.
  2. Xoxoxo I had to post even though I already talked to you. :-). I had the pumps on legs too for preventing blood clots. Nice lil' massage
  3. I'm also 3 weeks out. Today I made shredded pork for the family and decided to throw some in the blender- I was nervous to eat meat. I was hungry too and it smelled so good. I probabaly had 2-3 ounces an was stuffed- Eat Protein first :-) funny because I had all these big plans to eat cottage cheese after or something with it anyway. No can do. Eating SF Popsicle a half hour later to satisfy my sweet craving. I want a candy bar!
  4. Yes - I am chewing really well though.
  5. I just three some shredded pork in blender with its natural juices and it's yummy!!
  6. I'm on soft/puréed. Basically I was told nothing crunchy. Coming up on 3 weeks. Tonight family is having shredded pork. Quite juicy. When did you have meat? I'd love to get some real protein in. When I asked about spaghetti sauce that hubby makes she just told me to chew well to the consistency of soup. Curious about everyone else. I'm sure I'll be too chicken to try it....
  7. 4 weeks. Still have 1.5 to go
  8. Toyaboo- Thinking of you and your family. I'm sorry I haven't been on sooner. Special prayers for you cxxx
  9. Same here. I'm almost 3 weeks and I want sassy foods. Tonight I made lasagna for family and I had tomato soup. I made them apple crisp for desert and I had unsweetened applesauce (I did add cinnamon and sugar- ya do what's the point of unsweetened right?). I want brownies popcorn m&m's etc. still waiting for head hunger and cravings to lesson
  10. I can't even imagine running- although I've always hated it. But I agree with OTR- you can do it especially if it's something you enjoy :-)
  11. No- my PA did and I'll see her at the 3 month mark. Good point though.
  12. Sadly- not active much at all . I wanna start Walking and I do love to lift weights.
  13. Thanks everyone. It IS frustrating. I'll try not to weigh myself tomorrow. :/
  14. I'm soooo familiar with all the stalls. I am. Logically I do understand but here's my whiny story. Lost 14 pounds in one week and haven't lost a pound since. I'm almost to 3 weeks. I know that is great to lost that much - I do. Buttttttt I do weigh myself daily (if I don't I would get so upset at the shock no loss if I waited)- and I hardly take in 500-600 calories. How in te world is that even physically possible to hold steady for that long? Just frustrated and want to see the scale move. After living on a very select few foods- My brain just wants to eat badly (and I wont) as why the heck not if the darn scale isn't moving anyway. Ok- got that off my chest with people that understand. Thanks for any support .
  15. STIlL at a stall. I'm 2 weeks and 3 days and although I'm not freaking out about it- I must admit- it woul be nice to see the numbers go down. Nonetheless- I'm thankful for thi NG- thank you for keeping us informed of your support group. I would go but I work in the county where I'm at and too often come across clients which makes me feel too uncomfortable so I rely on this support group. So thank you all! Xoxox
  16. Prayers and hugs to you Chad .....
  17. Hey buddies- I'm doing relatively well minus TOM cramps today- its me and the heating pad tonight. Speaking of this- not sure if I mentioned this bit doc found many cysts on my ovaries and yesterday told me there was also a nodule so she did a biopsy and it was abnormal. Not cancer she said but maybe endometriosis? Not sure what all this means- Other than I see gyno I a couple weeks. Did I already share this? It's sounding familar as I type. Oh well- ignore if I did Today I'm eating food (well since yesterday)a. Puréed/soft foods. I finally am on my fitness pal becuse I need to document or I won't track. So I was about 59.5 grams of protein. I'm also noticing that it's harder to get my liquids in so I'm really gonna have I watch that. I don't want to go back in for dehydration - not fun. Scale still stuck.
