Trying not to be disappointed and frustrated because I am behind most people in stats. But hey, 32 lbs is 32 lbs right? As long as I keep losing I feel ok. My fear is that I will STOP losing...

Yes ma'am and I think its because my bmi was so high. I was 350 lbs at my largest. I work out regularly and get my Protein in and stick to a lot of Soups mostly. And I snack a I'm suppose to Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh and not to mention I'm 27.

I was at a stall since my last appt on 1/29. That's a little over a month. Was stuck between 205, 206, 207 & so on...I decided to do Lil Diva Bootcamp this week. Started on Monday at 206.6 & today I'm at 201.6. Glad to see the scale move in the right direction.
I start my day off at 6 with Water and try to eat or drink something every hour. I do sugarfree flavorings Protein Drinks and seafood all day. That helped me alot....

Ok, I have noticed more and more that I'm attracted to bald men. I'm talking about the guys who are going bald and say the hell with it and shave it all. The head shape has a lot to do with it I think. And another thing, the bald men who act like they KNOW they look good ( or at least are not self conscious about it) are even more sexy.
And yes, I actually had already decided that you looked great before you even asked!

Goal for March is ONEderland 17 pounds to go!

If I'm in a rush I can drink my 12oz Protein shake in a matter of 10-15 minutes. My guidelines specified that liquids /protein shakes will NOT stretch sleeves but I've often wondered if he left mine a little too big....
Solid Protein is different....If I push it I can probably eat 3-4oz but that would make me uncomfortable... I'm usually at my limit with dense protein at about 2 - 3oz... Ground beef and fish are the easiest for me. chicken a little harder and I find pork uncomfortable with just a few bites..

I never crushed my meds -- and I take a ton!

I think that is a fear for all of us I discovered that my sleeve is bigger then I thought I was able to get in 7.5 ounces in the other day comfortably . I was shocked and I only did it because someone was watching me eat so i kept on eating *Yogurt* and long behold it all fit Normally I stop at half the yogurt but since someone was in my face i kept picking up the spoon because remember no one knows i had the surgery and small things like that are tell tell signs that you did. So i kept on and nothing no full filling to way after i was done. Shocked I fear staying here or even not loosing the amount i really want when I am home its cool to stop when I feel i had enough but at work i pushed my limits smh..

I bet that the contestants on the show all have had bypass or vsg! I will find the truth! If you don't hear from me in a few days then they've found me! Continue my research and trust no one! Especially extremely fit people!

I told my partner that the guy would recognize him because he had t changed his shirt in a year. Lol

Sugar will aerate the butter but by mixing the butter first it softens the butter making it blend more easily into the other ingredients as you add them.

I've been eating Special K Protein cereal a few times a week for dinner. I mix Hood Low Carb milk with a half scoop of my chocolate Truffle Protein Powder and some Splenda. And it gives me 25-30 grams of protein. Sometimes I just do not feel like having heavy dense protein -- I almost immediately feel miserable after a few bites. The cereal goes down easy and it feels like a treat.

Slow Loser Update:
9 weeks post-op and I finally reached -30 lbs!!
I upped my calories 10 days ago and I've lost about 5 or 6 lbs. That is the most I've lost in that time frame since my first 10 days after surgery. Now, I'm still hesitant to declare the reason for the those 5 lbs is the increased calories -- but that is the only thing I've done differently. It could be that it just coincided with a regular "jump" down.....I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.
