I know someone who did it and did great but she didn't have a lot to lose. Also they put her on a ridiculous low calorie diet even less then any of us eat.

I eat 3 half cup meals and many eat more. I guess it really depends on if you are counting calories and what you eat. I just measure my meals eat healthy and don't count calories just my protein. It will fall into place as you journey on.

Congrats!!! You are well on your way!

YAY!!!!!! Way to go!

Well I am sorry you are having problems and congrats on your healthy baby!! My question to you is what are you eating and how much food does the doctor allow for you to eat at each meal? That will give us an idea of what you are doing so we can offer advice. It is not suprising you gained after breast feeding and you can definately get back on track. Just pleast give us some more details.

Feel better soon. Stick to what your doctor says and you will be better before you know it!

Try not to let your worries get carried away.It is normal to be nervous. You are getting ready to start a wonderful journey. Try reading some of the success stories on the forum. Maybe that will get your more excited then worried. Best of luck and keep us posted.

I only weigh myself once a week. Anymore I would go crazy.

I have the same problem. I now know that right for me is a little lose and not as tight as I hear others describe. Once I accpeted this everything feel into place. I really have to make sure I make good choices and when I feel hungry I drink water first and then if hungry i have a smart snack. Try to never let myself feel deprived. Good Luck to you. Feeling too tight is one of the worst feeling to me and my nurse told me reflux can lead to serious problems.

I keep hearing this is a marathon not a sprint. Keep your eye on the prize and dont give up. What your are experienceing is normal. Stay on track. Also make sure you take your measurements. You will find down road that when the scale doesnt always move a lot of time you lose inches. Stay strong!

Are you measuring your food? How much does your doctor allow you to eat? Can you please give us an example of what you are eating?

I find that eventually you figure out what works best for you.

Yeah I am pretty good also but the combination of the big bowl and it being frozen yogurt threw me for a loop.

My new sweet treat is TCBY frozen greek yougurt with nuts and sf caramel sauce. The problem is they only offer big cups and it is self serve. The fist two times I just added what I thought was a good size. Last time i asked how much it weighed and it was 13 ounces!!!! OMG! So I leanred my lesson to ask the weight before I eat. Then I split it up and take the rest home. So I now get 3 Servings out of what I thought was one. Lesson learned!! Just thought I would share.

Mis I love reading your posts!

I also eat my proteins. I love food and hate drinking shakes. If I wake up early i the morning and its too early to eat I have a dannon light fit greek yogurt.They are so gooooood! All other times it is solids for me.

Have you called your doctor? That should be the first thing you do. It sounds to me like gas pains but that is just a guess. Hope you feel better

Sounds like rosacia (how ever you spell it)

I was allowed the can soups but I was told to blend them. I agree with others stick to what Dr says. Also those soups are not really mushie. They pretty much diseagrate. quickly.

I just switched to Truvia from Splenda. I use less and I dont taste it like splends.

I was told the size of my finger tip. I do not take tiny bites or count My chews but I do use a baby spoon to help me regulate and I take 20 to 30 minutes to eat. If I feel I am very hungry take a small break half way. I also do not drink during or after for 60 minutes.

Google 5 day pouch test to know more.

As always take what you can use from the post and leave the rest behind. You will never like 100% of the posts you read just ignore what you don't like. Always use your doctors advice as final say.

Yeah they all gave you really good advice. Dont freak out you will be ok

Some even give them away if you move it out of their houses.
