The MyFitnessPal app is also great!! I determine my budgeted calories for the day- then log food in here to keep track. If other people have logged the same food (which 99% of the time they have), it's already in the system. You also log your stats and keep track of your info/ goals. I'm addicted as it's such a great tool!

I like GNC's Lean Shake. 2g of sugars

I've seen this link on here before: http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/carmelita/blog/tag/stalls+and+plateaus/

I am a believer- I love God! When we have a personal relationship with Him- what is best for us, we give to Him to determine, guide and lead us. I had the surgery- and a best friend who has never had weight issues did not agree with it, and has much negativity about it. I am not concerned with her opinion- my council is to God- and he lead me down this path of getting the surgery (2 months ago). I continually prayed "Lord, please shut the doors, and open the doors regarding this matter according to your will". Having a personal relationship with Him means what might be good for one, isn't good for another- so if it something that she wouldn't do if she struggled- then great- doesn't mean it isn't the right thing for you. Blessings

I stalled at 2 weeks... then every 3 weeks after that... but then it would all sort itself out, and i would get on the scale and bam! 3-5 pounds off!

The same happened to me! Surprising taste changes- but mostly for lamb (my favorite), and beef. Everything is sweeter too.

I googled them... is this it? http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/pro-balance-hydrolyzed-whey-protein-shot-dietary-supplement/ID=prod6093475-product I'm interested in trying it!

Asherje: you might not be still sore... I had the sleeve. Was in the hospital for 2 days, 6 days total off from work, and went back to work on the 7 day- had no pain. It's going to all work out

I remember when i got the call- I was SOOO happy, i cried when i got off the phone. VERY happy for you!

I sleep on my back, with my knees/ legs elevated by 2-3 pillows. It flattens the lower back and provides relief there, but also when our legs are elevated above our heart- it takes alot of pressure off of the legs as well. I love sleeping this way- it's soo comfy- and really relaxes me....like when i am at a spa!

Our phsycologist/ nutritionist this week in group, said to be careful about progressing too quickly- as there can be foods we try now (say cottage cheese or chicken, chewed up & emulsified), during a different phase- that can give us food allergies later on after our stomach's have healed... That our new stomach's need to be treated like a newborn babies- and introduce foods slowly. Hope this helps

The same here... was sleeved on sep 28, lost 15 pds... am only doing soups & protein shakes...and i have stalled. I know my body will eventually give in and lose though.

Saying a prayer for you, Mrs Sandy R! Mine is tomorow, so i will be looking for your post the next few days on how you are. xxoo

Hello, One of the guys in my meetings that has lost 200+ pounds, stresses that he has to already have a plan for the whole day of what he will eat, and this has been a big part of his success.

You can do it! You want this- so put your mind to it, and commit above all else ) Luckily you don't have to do a diet and lose weight. I know that you have the strength- you will be successful. Saying a prayer for you LadiJ.
