Thank you!!!

I am almost 5 months post op and have done very well but have been in a rut for the past two weeks playing with the same two pounds. I am not in a "stall", I am in a "rut". Because of muscle spasms from Fibromyalgia, I have been unable to ride my bike for a couple of weeks and taking Tylenol for them just does not cut it. If I try and over do, then I am incapacitated for several days. I know that if I could get the exercise on, the results would be there. I am depressed and have always said a "rut is just a grave with both ends kicked out!". I am drinking plenty of water, it is HOT in the desert and I am getting my protein, maybe I just have to ride this out......until my body says I can exercise again. I have not been sedentary, quite the contrary, I just cannot do my heavy exercising......................

What did your surgeon tell you about having wine the first year??

Thank you for your encouraging update. You look like a different person and I am sure you feel like one as well

Not gonna happen at ALL?

I bought some wine there once and they said if I didn't' like it to bring it back so I did!!

Been there done that, same experience as most others

My doc talked to me this week about why we stall, as we call it. It is our body setting new set points...a work in progress. Please do measure!!!!That helps

Thank you everyone. I have my special needs granddaughter since Saturday so cannot spend much time on the computer. I saw the surgeons nurse practitioner yesterday and all my labs came back good. Yipee!!!

SHMILY stand for "See how much I love you" something shared with my first husband and me. Google SHMILY and you will read the sweet story....

It's a great place to be...

I bought some the other day. They are really good. That price is good through July 20

That isn't uncommon

Friday is my weigh day, yesterday was my four months since surgery. Last week was the first time the scale did not move but I knew the problem so I got back on the Airdyne and this mornings wt loss was 5 lbs! That totals me a 70 lb loss (51 inches) in four months and only one lb from "onderland". I feel wonderful!!!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

I am thinking if you were incapable of speaking, then you would not be getting NSAIDS.

Didn't work for Tricare

You will lose inches. I encourage you to take your measurement now

I am a Prime member on Amazon but I cannot find them there. Can you post a link? The other place I found them wants 9.99 for shipping!!

I eat some fresh fruit but it has no protein. I still get about 80 gr protein in every day. I have a 20 oz cup I drink my water out of. Yesterday when I had the munchies I must have refilled it 7-8 times

I lost a lot of wt (again) in 2004 and in '05 I had lipo and full Tummy tuck. Fortunately, even with a wt gain, I will still have a flat tummy...WHEW.....

So it was Monterrey Mex

Got it, awesome

I cannot get the picture to where it shows it all, were you afraid to go to Mexico? Where did you go? My husband, a retired cop, won't even let me go to Mexico for vacation, but I may have to do so to get these arms done when I reach goal.

Starting June 26 and running through July 20th, Sams Club offers an instant $4.00 off for a 12 pk of Premier Protein Drinks and also on the bars. Another good protein source I got from Amazon. It is powder and called UMP and I get Cookies & Cream flavor. One scoop has 130 calories, 21 gr protein and only 1 gr sugar. I love it.
