@proudgrammy I totally agree with you - diet pills?

I've tried the 5 day reboot, nothing. I've tried juice fasts with protein added, nothing. So I'm at a point of unexplained plateau. Lab work all came back normal and he wasn't concerned with anything on my CT Scan.

Thanks Kathy! I know I've come a long way and when I look at a before pic, it puts things in perspective. However, I still have so much more to lose and until I get down at least one more size, I won't be truly happy. :/

Got you in my prayers - I know it is scary...

Stalls are awful, aren't they? I had one for THREE MONTHS. Just in the last few weeks has it let go an I'm back on the downward movement. Change up your exercise a little? That's what did it for me

Hooray! Sometimes our bodies simply need a change of pace. Glad to hear you are doing well!

what is a pouch test?

when i got stuck... i stopped what i was doing at the gym and started something new. My big thing was Zumba... so i stopped and started doing weights... Not heavy.. and started Elliptical.. How's your food intake? Try and up your protein and cut more carbs. Good luck

I don't have a problem getting protein in but I honestly haven't been keeping track of my intake of calories, fat and carbs and I know I need to do it. I'm trying to make that effort starting today.

That is awesome!!! I've been on a 3 week stall with 77 gone total!!!

That's great! How are you feeling? These stalls are terrible! LOL I lost another 2 lbs for a total of 70! That's where I had hoped to be at the end of January.

Yes, they are Jerzy!! But I am glad its 70+ lbs gone and not gained for the both of us. Im feeling good for the most part. All of my issues are mental and not physical.......fighting the old demons that made me fat...ya know?!?!?

WOOOO! Great job!

WELCOME TO TWOVILLE!!!!!!

Congratulations! Great job!

I make my own protein!!!! it taste good and you can adjust the taste to your liking.

Miss Mac, the chocolate is the one I bought. LOL I usually drink Premier Protein but I was out a little longer than expected yesterday and one of my stops was a health food store. I was in a pinch so I bought it. I got half of it down but couldn't take it anymore.

teb: *PERK! how do you make your own protein?

Have another protein shake. If you're still hungry, have another. During the liquid phases, I sometimes had 4-5 per day. At 160 calories each, that's still only 800 calories... not that calories matter for a long time after surgery...

I thought about that but I'm also trying to not stray too far from my surgeon's instructions for this phase which is to have only one protein shake per day. Throughout the day I drink Isopure RTD mixed with 1/2 gallon of water and Crystal Light so I'm getting a minimum of 70 g of protein in each day.

woo hoo -twoderville in site! down over 40 lbs in such a short time!!!keep up the great job - good luck - congrats

WTG!

that is awesome girl!!! I am just 6 lbs away!!!

Hiya what is cream of wheats? If you don't mind me asking. I need to try different things so I don't get to bored and stick to plan x

It's in the cereal aisle where the oatmeal is.

If you have Von's or Safeway Markets where you live, the Tomato Basil Tuscan Bisque is delicious! It helped me during my full liquid phase.

SIP!

good luck neighbor. I'm here in NY and wishing you well.

Good luck!!

I'm home and in some pain. Hubby ran off to the pharmacy to fill my scripts so I'm waiting on my pain meds. Kind of disappointed in the nursing staff but I will get into that when I'm a little more pain-free. Thanks for all the well wishes, they mean a lot to me!
