      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.

      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

      I get one every 10lbs weight loss so I def know your frustration...but LOOK at your progress. Awesome weight loss. Whats a lil stall when you've had such success!

  5. Been stuck at 282-284, back and forth for several weeks now. Thinking about trying the 5 day reboot.

      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.

  6. Been stuck at same weight for 6 months. Having an abdominal CT scan done today to see if there are any problems going on.

  7. Being on vacation in a shore town makes me long for the days when I won't feel so out of place and can enjoy a dip in the pool or sit on the beach feeling comfortable!

      Just start now and take lots of pics so you can have good before pictures! It will happen and you can do it... from a Jersey girl who was out at Asbury Park yesterday.

    2. JerzyTomato74

      JerzyTomato74

      Thanks! Pics I see of myself now only fuel my desire to get this surgery over with!

  8. Day 6 of pre-op diet and 7 lbs down. Pre-admission blood work shows I'm anemic. Never had that problem before. Going to have to recheck prior to surgery.

      Add some additional Iron to your vitamin regimen, if you haven't already!

    2. JerzyTomato74

      JerzyTomato74

      That's what I was thinking but the two a day vitamin regimen already has me constipated from the extra iron. I have a call into my surgeon's office so I'm waiting for a call back to see what they want me to do.

  9. Down another 4 lbs in two weeks! This makes my total loss 80 lbs! Next goal is 20 lbs in two months for my vacation in Myrtle Beach! I think I can, I think I can!

  11. Endoscopy in the morning. Officially 3 weeks away from surgery!

  12. Finally met my first post-op goal...under 300!!!

  13. Follow up with surgeon and he said he's is not concerned. No sign of any infection and spleen is only slightly larger than when I had surgery. Prescribed diet pills for a couple months to help get me out of the stall. Not sure how I feel about that.

      @proudgrammy I totally agree with you - diet pills?

    3. JerzyTomato74

      JerzyTomato74

      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.

    4. JerzyTomato74

      JerzyTomato74

      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. :/

  14. Gastric emptying study done. What a pain in the butt!!!

  15. Gastric emptying study on Monday, then when I get home I will have a fun-filled afternoon on the toilet after taking magnesium citrate to clean me out. TMI? LOL

    1. Packerfan61964

      Packerfan61964

      YAY!!!! Me too!!! I am not looking forward to this!! I bought the grape flavored magnesium citrate......hope it at least tastes decent so i can chug it down and not gag and barf it back up!! Good Luck!!!

      Gastric emptying study was the worst part, for me Yuck

      @packerfan I got the grape also. I am told it's best to mix it with something so I'm going to mix it with a grape flavored Powerade. @UnRuLy why was it the worst?

  16. Got my surgery date! 10/29...let's do this!

  17. Had my 3 week post-op appt today. Skipping puree's and going to soft foods! Halle-freakin'-lujah! Also down to 311.2 which means I am hopefully out of my stall! Good day!

  18. Had to buy my robe for the hospital online because the store doesn't have the bigger sizes. I will be so happy when that's no longer an issue!

    1. Packerfan61964

      Packerfan61964

      I bought a pair of scrub pants to wear under my hospital gown!!

  19. Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! Hubby had to work so we're celebrating tomorrow! Can't wait to have some turkey!

  20. I can't describe how good it feels to go down a size! I actually look forward to shopping for clothes now. Can't wait until the next size drop! Woot!!!

      Packerfan61964

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

      JerzyTomato74

      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.

    3. Packerfan61964

      Packerfan61964

      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?!?!?
