I'm 9 weeks out and getting confused about what I should be eating? I know the basics "protein first" but some sources say vegetarian protein, then fish, then maybe animal protein. Some sources say all the veggies and fruit are allowed. Has anyone received direct guidance from a NUT for past 2 months?

I would take Benadryl and put calamine on the rash itself. Also take a look at what you ate prior to the rash breaking out. Something food related might have caused it.

I ate too fast and too much and now I am really unhappy! Argh. Note to self: do not do this again!!

Yes I didn't tell anyone either. But they know I'm dieting (as usual right?). I'm a total foodie and love to cook too. I'm adjusting as well. Sometimes it's disappointing when something tastes so good but takes so much "work" to eat it. Or to just have 2-3 bites and not more. But I just need to get used to it right?

I feel the same way when I eat out. But I'm trying to change my focus with girlfriends by meeting them for a pedicure or at a bookstore instead of for dinner. I'm still struggling with weight loss. Despite my efforts losing more seems to be taking forever!! I also have indigestion still which is frustrating since I had a hiatal hernia fixed and hoped to be done taking meds for it. But overall I am still glad I did it. I get to taste good food and not worry about eating too much of it :-)

I agree with MommaCEO - I was in a stall for 2 1/2 weeks and it finally broke when I upped my calories. I only lost 1 pound this week but at least I am losing again.

Hi all! I was sleeved on 6/18 and have been stalled for 3 weeks. I'm honestly wondering why I did this if I'm not going to lose any more weight. I keep every bite on myfirnessal, work out at least 30 min 5 days a week, use a fitbit to walk more, mostly avoid starchy carbs etc. but nothing seems to break the stall. So frustrated.

me too!! I was sleeved on 6/18/2014 and this is exactly my same story. I am very frustrated too. I guess we just have to keep hoping it will end soon.

I've lost 25 pounds. Sleeved on 6/18. I have been stalled for 2 weeks now. I am disappointed because I thought I would have lost more by now. Any suggestions on how to break a stall?

That's the range I'm in too and I was sleeved on 6/18. My weight has been stalled for almost 2 weeks now. So frustrating!

I have had the same plateau for a week.

Have you tried Nature's Twist? The sugar free orangade is awesome. It's in the soda eisle but is caffeine free and non carbonated. I love it!

I did not tell anyone except my husband and mother. I value the non-judgemental support I get here. I also didn't want to be the subject of gossip and scrutiny.

i had surgery on 6/18. I know it's hard not to weigh every day but it's the only way to have sanity about this process.

You have not failed! It is a long journey. Just keep trying!

I agree! Great advice

I had pain on my left as well for a couple of weeks. But it wasn't unbearable. I think you should contact your doctor.

I tried to start early and wound up throwing up in the parking lot of Whole Foods. So I am sticking to the rules! :-)

That is exactly how I eat too. I'm on puréed and am supposed to go to semi solid tomorrow. My eyes want to eat more but luckily my new tummy knows better!

I'm 5'3 :-)

I haven't found any of the Isopure tolerable. They taste and smell like chemicals. Which is too bad because they have so much protein. I haven't tried the myoplex yet. Does it taste chemical?

I had the same issue over the weekend. I didn't get enough protein or water in. It's hard to stay on schedule on the weekends.

I'm so jealous. I don't go to semi-solid until Wed. I tried to eat some soft fish and scalloped potatoes on Fri and promptly threw them up in the Whole Foods parking lot no less - embarrassing! Although at least I threw up in a bag. So now I got the message and am just eating puréed.

I couldn't find it either. My email is got2golf54@gmail.com
