Oh..I've had run ins with one of the nuts in my group. Last time I was there, was for my 3 month check up. She told me to stop eating greek yogurt and beef Jerky..and to go back to the shakes abd skim milk. When its noted that I'm lactose intolerant and don't want to take the pills for it. Then she told me not to trust myfitnesspal and their database. Even after I told her I don't eat it unless I can check the stats beforehand. All of this and at that point, I had lost a staggering 38% of my excess starting weight..at 3 months. I was doing well and getting most Protein from real food. Needless to say I called my nurse and informed her what was communicated to me. That was taking several giant steps back words and I wasn't having it. I told her that I would continue on with what she had approved already and follow what my book said. She agreed. Then I asked the front desk to note in my file that I will not see that particular lady.

Misty, do you think the flex would be ok in an hour long Water jogging session, I'm under water for the whole time so it would be under the whole time. Do I tap in the center or more towards the one end where the plastic thing is? Thanks for the help you guys!

Sorry for double post...my wifi wasnt working right.

Just an fyi..Gnc website has the boxes of Quest bars on sale..in store here by me they're not on sale. I got the sale price plus the gold member pricing. 2 boxes for 49 plus taxes and shipping, minus a % off at end of transaction for being a gold member.

A couple more questions...I have mine synced to myfitnesspal and now its adding the .4 for loss when I didnt add that. I usually track in whole pounds, ignoring the .whatever part. Any way to change that? It says to track sleep to rapidly tap the flex. Does everyone here track their sleep with it too?

Just make sure to tell them your taking the medication right away. Hopefully they will give you a little guidance on what to have and not have to shed that temporary weight.

Not true. It can happen if your following your doctors plan. It happens to many here.

So..I started in an F cup. I'm down 75 pounds and I'm now in a DD!! I'm excited as can be but my poor hubby isn't very thrilled. He loved the big girls.

So, just thought I'd throw this out your way. I'm 15 weeks and its only been in the last maybe 2 weeks that I've felt good. I stsrted hitting my Fluid goals...finally. I've began to eat things that sustain my much longer.(taco casserole, chicken thighs slow roasted and cut up etc) I can truely say I feel great. Just not today tho. (Had a bad night from a sensative intestine) It does get better. I didn't think it would. But next week I'm exactly 4 months post op and bam! Feeling pretty great!

So, I have to report back about the bars now. Went and got some..but my GNC wouldn't ring them up buy 3 get 1. But..I put it in the fridge like you said and and my husband asked me if I needed a moment alone! Lol...its fabulous cold.

Do a search here and you'll find a few posts about eyesight getting better. Its pretty common.

Fiddleman is right. My 3 month graphed weigh loss chart looks exactly like a stair case. Keep working your program. It will come. Your body just needs time to rest and shift things around.

I'll add this for the working out folks....have some Protein based item within 45 minutes of ending your workout. I worked with a trainer and she was the one to tell me this. I swear by it. I'll have a scoop of Protein powder in hot Water within 45 minutes of ending my workouts and I usually lose a good 2 pounds the next day or so. If I skip the protein, I feel shaky and don't lose like that. Just thought I would share what I swear by.

You hit it spot on.."I'm only 2 weeks out". Give youself a break! You just had major surgery. A true stall is considered 3 weeks or more. You're body just needs a rest. I'm coming up on 4 months out and believe me..the body needs time to rest so that you don't get really sick. Go with it. Lots of people find that weighing only weekly or monthly helps keep them happier and more on track. May also want to take your measurements now. And then take them weekly maybe. Relax. Breathe, this is a long journey. Enjoy each part of it.

Oooo..I've never seen the cookies and cream quest bar. Going to have to look for it now! You look great so far! Great job working so hard!

I'm up to 75 pounds lost. or about 53% of my starting excess weight.

This is soo true! Before surgery I used to just heave and heave..my whole body would heave with the stomach. Now, I can stand still and it comes in a tiny tiny amount. Still not fun but way easier to deal with post op.

I'm just coming up on 4 months post op and here's what I know. If something truely gets stuck, most will throw it up. Its instant. .trust me, you'll know. It comes fast n bam! (Today..was my first time NOT throwing up chicken breast.) I've got a family with small kids, so I've gone out to eat a few times. I stick with what I know I can handle..Dennys I'll order a fried egg and turkey bacon, buffets I'll get baked chicken leg and cottage cheese. The waiter does look at me strange but I'm always happy and smiling so they don't question anything. Spicy-i couldn't drinl coffee until a few weeks ago. Made me sick, too acidic for my sleeve. Spicy stuff..I tried it at clearence for normal foods, and I could feel each bite slowly slide down. Didn't feel too good. I've backed off for now, deciding that I want my sleeve to heal completely first before throwing it anymore spicy stuff.

I've lost 73 pounds and I still carry the pregnant tummy look. Granted its smaller becuase I've lost so much weight..but its still there under all my clothes. I know that a couple of the vets have stated that the biggest part of you is always the last to go down. Keep working it honey....you sound like youre pretty determined so I'm guessing you'll be close. Maybe wear some Spanx under the dress if its close?

I follow all of my program rules. I'm 3.5 months post op.

Can I change my goal? Think I had it as 199..but think 205 is more realistic. Thank you Bea!

This is very close to Dukan diet style 'bread'. I followed that diet for years and it taught me how to make alternatives for bread and sugar. If you search dukan diet recipes you'll find several for bread and pancakes. It does take a little bit to get over the new consistency of the dukan bread tho. Picky eaters dont usually like it. If your determined to make changes for good, it won't be a big deal at all.

Broke my stall! Yahoo! Been at 219 last 2 Friday's. .today I'm at..213!

There are several couples on here that have done it together or very near together. Hopefully they see this.
