you will im sure of it!!!

When that happened to me at 400 calories, my surgeon actually suggested to "graze" to get the calories up. (This is not something you want to do later on)

So I did. every hour I was munching on something (healthy with calories) and down it went.

Plus, let me add, that I have found right before my cycle I lose a couple of pounds which makes me think wow, that means I will weigh even less when the period is over. NO, when the period is over, I gained the 2 I thought I lost plus 2 more. Then about 3-4 days it goes back down. The weirdest thing.

I'm so excited for you!!

Walmart! I just bought 2

Thanks hun!!

It would be better to set a goal that you can control, like an exercise challenge or something. Although you are in charge of what you eat, your body is in charge of your weight loss rate. Some people lose slower than others and they are perfectly on track. It's very individual. We all can get to the same place, but not necessarily at the same time.

Thanks

For example, I am 5 ft; 2 in. my Sw - 223, Had sugery on 01/29/2015. I now weight 195 as of this morning. Not impossible at all, but like the other guys said all results may vary depending on the individual.

Me too, my in-laws were in town. Every lunch and dinner at a restaurant. Ugh! Give yourself enough time to recover tho. Internal swelling they say is up to 6 weeks post-op!

I'm having my protein now and I'm going to exercise in a little bit.

Awesomeness!

And I was bold enough to leave the house in them with no flats! lol! I haven't done that in a long time!

Yummy..............

I have 2 20-pack boxes of them in the freezer as we speak...I like the tropical flavored ones!!

Aren't they the best!!?

Congrats!!!! Very happy for you!!! How are you feeling??
