I love Woodard... Not a fan of Kara at all... How's your journey so far. I have had 2 fills, painless I literally didn't even feel it. I'm losing really slow. I can't workout due to An injury this whole time. Trying to stay positive... I'm down 36 lbs since surgery... Wish it were more tho. But a loss is a loss

That's crazy he teaches a spin class at my gym... You went to my hometown hs then prob know my neighbors. Small world

I posted that 9/16. I feel wonderful 4 weeks out. Weight loss is stalled for 2 weeks but on mushies an happy. Thank you thought

Thank you guys so much for the validation and responses. It's hard going through this. I do realize the potatoe chips and pretzel yesterday were not positive points. The only good thing about sodium and me, I don't really retain much Water. Yay low bp. I will keep on trucking. I see my MD in 10 days. I hope it's just healing and not starvation mode. What a journey.

Here is a snap shot of Mondays nutritional facts break down.

Ps I've been banded for 4 weeks. Maybe my body is adjusting... I don't think nutrition consult will help much considering I typically minus my slip today eat all healthy food. I've changed 90% of what I eat to healthier options

Mines rude and unhelpful she told me to keep doing what I'm doing

Soo since my post ooo appt 2 weeks ago I gained a pound. I eat less than 900 cal a day. All Protein based, some vegis with minor exercise. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I know I can increase exercise and am slowly working into it. I just got cleared. Even with minimal exercise, I am eating significantly less, I should be losing. :-( I don't ever meet fat, carbs, or sugar goals on my fitness pal. I sure hope something gives soon. It's kind of discouraging. I just keep reminding myself I've lost 20#s. That's fantastic. Myfitnesspal is Samanthamegan3 Add me, I dunno if you can see what I ate. I tracked only 2 days but this is consistent with what I've been eating for 2 weeks. :-( help Today I went off track with the potatoe chips (8 of them) and a pretzel rod. But Monday is a mirror image of my meals. I've been doing the same thing for 2 weeks And I eat sushi no rice. But that option isn't on the app. So my carbs and cals are lower for Monday :-/

If be careful about abruptly stopping antidepressants, that is extremely unsafe. It can contribute to increased depression. Be careful

My nutritionist said flaky fish do not need to be blended. I was sooo happy about that. Something about blended fish makes me want to vomit :-(. I would consider it mushie

Thank you all. I am SO GRATEFUL I've lost 1-2 this week. I just wanted to make sure that's ok. I can probably guarantee I am grossly under cals. I take it at most 800 a day which is a gross over estimate. I don't get anywhere close to the 50-60g of Protein with what I'm eating. My md doesn't want me drinking Protein shakes because they are "liquid calories". Also my nutritionist first want me focusing on cal right now since I'm grossly below. She said to more focus on that when I'm eating and have adjusted post op. I try so hard to eat more protein but I'm full and do not want to push it. So I stop when I'm "done" and not "full". The process begins. This months goal, focus a million x's more on working out beyond work hustle and bustle and my volleyball league. It's a marathon and I'm excited for it.

Hey ques. This is not a complaining post either. I have significantly decreased in the amount of weight I've lost since starting mushed foods. In 10 days I've lost a solid 1lb, but depending on the day it'll be 2. I haven't been working out as much as I should but I have gone back to work. 3 12hr days a week in a busy ER. My typical day is as follows Breakfast An egg and a turkey sausage with 1tbsp of hollandaise sauce lunch 2-3oz of ground turkey with taco seasoning with low fat shredded cheese and 3/4 tbsp of light sour cream dinner 2-3 oz of stuffed peppers (lean ground sirloin) with less than 1/4 of a green pepper and about 1/2 cup of the tomato Soup it was cooked in. NO RICE No pop no Snacks. This is all I'm hungry for. But my weight loss went from 5 a week to 1-2lbs in 10 days. Don't get me wrong I am very happy in losing, just wondering what I'm doing wrong. Sam
