Crabbysal, I am a bad patient! I do not drink the shakes. My husband is looking for the non flavored Whey protein that you can add to any food or drink without changing the taste. I eat about 3 oz at each meal and I keep a bag of Cheez-its on my desk. a small 1.5 oz bag last me about four days because I can only eat three or four at at time. I eat ice all day long every day to get in my water. I am also workin on getting my self on a strick eating schedule so that I don't get so hungry at meal time that I get nauseated adn can't eat. That is my biggest problem. I did try the shakes with skim milk and they were easier to drink instead of with water. It is hard but you have to be in the mind set to do this. Like the blog states my journey was quick so it was a do it now or never for me and I was way past being ready for this change. I am also very lucky to have an awesome support group around me. You can email me any time if you need encouragement. once you are able to start your meals, the hardest thing is learning to cook healthy. You can do this! It does get easier. Good LUck

You are so welcome! I just read your profile and realized we had our surgeries the same day! today makes FOUR WEEKS!!! YAY! I feel better than ever and I am wearing clothes i haven't worn in over two years. It is still one day at a time and I just bought a scale yesterday. I am down 31 pounds but i see the inches melting away. the little spot on my back where my husband used to "lvoe pinch" me is almost gone...ironic thing is i am happy and he is sad! LOL. I hope that you are doing well. I also read your other blog aout your mother in law, I am so sorry to hear of your family's suffering. We will keep her in our prayers. I saw you drank some chocolate milk, good for you. LOL. I have learned to not deprive myself of something. Nothing works if we do. Keep your head up!

Hey! I remember my surgeon telling me there would be times of little to no weight loss, but that my clothes would fit differently because I would loose inches not pounds. Also, my nutritionist said Whey protein is the best. Check with one in your area to be sure you are drinking the right one. You will make it through this stall and you will reach your goal weight! Good Luck Foxgirl74!!! Remember one day at a time
