I've tried several if the dressings, mayo, ketchup, and BBQ sauce--did not like any of them--this was on a previous diet last year.

I say thank you, I feel great--and then move on

I miss eating without thinking! Everything is planned and calculated now...but my cravings have really gone away!

RNY 10/23/12 HW/DOS 291 CW 251 TL 40# This week has been slow but still a loss

Just wondering if anyone else has read or seen effects of Lexapro slowing weight loss?

I like it--breaks up the same ole chocolate routine

I love "Oh Yeah" chocolate and also banana are yummy! 32g

Asked my physical therapist today that used to be professional body builder--she said 30 is about right.

The area you are describing pain is your pouch. At 3 weeks I had the pain after just a couple of bites. Slow down even more, chew chew chew, and be sure the food is MOIST! It will help especially w complex proteins like tuna, beef, chicken. The pain gets better and subsides. Now it is more like a full feeling w out pain.

Great pic!

I found the key to staying hydrated was to literally walk around all day with a kitchen timer set to 15 min intervals. I knew that I had to sip at least 2 oz of fluid every 15 mins.

I was just thinking of this--I'm looking for a breakfast casserole recipe for Christmas morning

I have an entire container and haven't found a decent use yet either...

There is a SoBe "zero" that comes in a blood orange flavor--really yummy--I think of it as skinny orange juice

Ok...now who is correct? One says 15 and another 30 as to what can be absorbed?? My NUT mentioned nothing about this?

I only eat 4-5 times a day and have to include Protein Shake as a meal. My shakes are 35 Proteins each.

I was allowed to sleep on my side from beginning-I put pillow between my legs to take some pressure off spine.

How many meals do you supplement to get to 90? I'm thinking of supplementing 2 meals and eating 2 meals? Kinda feel like my body has gotten used to the 65 and is slowing ??

Just wondered if anyone has experienced positive results from increasing protein? I take in around 65 ea day which is over the 40-60 range from my doctor but was wondering if may help with moving scales out of dull spell? Still loosing but battling to get out of the 250s...

Same here! I haven't thrown up once, can eat most any soft food, and find it easy for protein and water. I'm 32 and had no health issues. RNY on 10/23/12--8 weeks and 39 lbs and feeling great! So blessed to have had the opportunity to change my life!

RNY 10/23/12 HW 291 CW 252 TL 39 lbs

Several weeks ago, I was having terrible lower left back pain. Got it cleared up now having trouble with right lower back/hip area! Anyone else have any problems or pinched nerve issues?

This does keep me motivated...

I see lots of folks talking about their exercise and i feel like I may not be doing enough? I walk in treadmill 30 mins about 5x week?

So I'm a little over 6 weeks out and just can't seem to break through to the next set of digits! A couple of weeks ago I was in a roll and then "that time" came and I stalled that entire week. This week I've lost back down to before plus a couple extra pounds but am really feeling discouraged...I really expected the scales to move quicker especially since I'm diligent in protein, water, and exercise! Just wondering what average others have experienced?
