SHAWNA

I did drop five pounds! ONLY because I had the stomach flu and couldnt eat nothing!!!! I'm at 219 this morning I started at 259 day of surgery! So I'm doing pretty good! I still freak out,, thinking that I'm eating too much although I KNOW I'm NOT!!!! So how is your weight loss going what have you lost? I pretty much eat anything MOSTLY protien,,,no salad, not sure if I'm ready? how about you?

Hey you, how are you doing? I'm doing pretty good! Going through a stall with weight loss! But sure that's to be expected! Just a little discouraging when your not really eating and working out five times a week! Hmmmn it will pass,,, just venting

well hoping you are doing great !

How have you been? I've been good here! I think i'm on a stall with weight loss, grrr a little disapointing especially when you know your not eating, and i'm working out five day's a week! Ha whatever!!! I'm a total down 32 pounds...

I feel real good!!! Well hope you are doing awesome!

Well it's been raining for the past three day's so I havent been out to walk! aghhhh I need a treadmill, elliptical or maybe just a gym membership!

So are you tolerating foods yet? I eat chicken, beans, ground beef, I try to only eat protiens so I get as much as I can down! But when I log it on

myfitnesspal.com it's not enough!!! grrrrrr.. I drink a protien shake every morning! If I drink three protien shakes I can't get any food down?

How are you managing? Hope all is well!

Well I fast on Monday and go in for my one month blood panel!!

Then my Appointment is on the 3rd! I'm excited, I can't wait, Why I don't know it feels good to see it on their scale too

So are you getting all your protien down everyday? I don't unless I drink three protien shakes! Then if I do that I don't want food! I eat 90% protien when I do eat but when I log it on myfitnesspal.com it's not enough!!! aghhhhhhhhh

So are you eating food food yet or still mushies? How are you feeling?

I've been great, I try and walk at least a mile monday thru Friday and I feel Great... I havent lost anything in three day's, but I know it will come

I need to learn not to weigh myself everyday!!!!

I dont have the burps, but I have BIG hick ups after I eat????? lol

I'm walking everyday a mile ( well Monday through Friday ) Still not released for anything else! I can eat dinner with the family now

No I feel awesome, I'm eating pretty much anything! That's good food!! I ate 1 chicken nugget yumm!!! I ate some grilled chicken for dinner! Like three bites the size of a pinky nail!!!

Hey you! I'm doing great! I went for my two week appointment yesterday and had lost 26 pounds! Woooooo Hoooooo...

Don't get discouraged! you can hang through this and become a LOSER LIKE ME

Sorry to hear about you not being able to hold down protien! YUCKO! That so stinks! I bought some cream of wheat with protien in it and it was good! Maybe you could try that? I went to my two week appointment yesterday and I've lost 26 pounds! I was sooooooo happy!

I also went through a stall! Stick with it! I know your a slave to the scale! grrrrrrr.....I 'am!!!!

Have you tried scrambled eggs? Maybe you can do that?

Ah I can't wait for my two week on Wednesday! Lucky you! I've lost 10 pounds since surgery! Hoping tomorrow will be another pound ?

I drink three shakes and maybe a 1/2 a yogurt in between lunch and dinner shakes. So hoping for another pound! I didn't lose for four day's? I was like what the heck? who knows? God knows I wasnt CHEATING! lol

So good to hear from you! Yes the whole liquids thing is VERY hard! I made a roast and potatoes last night for dinner and thought dang I'm doing good I can eat some potatoes mashed well! Ummmmm BAD idea, I don't know if I didn't chew well enough, over ate, or just shouldn't have? BUT I paid for it! I was in PAIN! But all is better today and my shake went down fine!

So did you have problems? Or just sore?Well anywho soooo goos to hear from you! When is your two week appt? Mine is Wednesday,,,woo hoo!!! Oh by the way how much have you lost?

WEll hope to hear how your doing?

I have NO complaints having my surgery at Wilford Hall. It was great the staff Dr.s Nurses everyone was so kind and helpful!

I had my surgery the 5th of January at 8am and was home by 6pm on the 6th! I recovered very well!

As far as the nutritionist, I would talk to them and see if a Jenny Craig, Weight watchers something else would be an acceptable program!

I did lose a few pounds with the nutritionist NOT ENOUGH !!!

The 6 months does seem like forever but it goes by fast!

Talk to you soon!

I was told No mushies till after two weeks! Grrrrrr.. I would l love to eat some Malt o Meal, Refried beans, string cheese, hummus, cottage cheese? SOMETHING other than soup, CIB, BLahhhhh I did for the two weeks before I'm so wanting a little something to CHEW! So I'm sure you feel the same!

I have no problems with anything so far! So are you waiting to weigh yourself? I couldn't resist! Well talk to you soon!

Yes definately we can do lunch if you come this way! Enjoy your weekend!
