@@irishaggie I too find myself eating in a rut but I combed through the worldaccordingtoeggface.com website and printed all the recipes that sounded good. I now have a pile of them tp plow through when I get bored.
This week is the first time I weighed the same as the week before. One thing I have noticed is that when someone says they weighed the same as last week and the week before they usually also end up saying "But my body is changing." This is the same for me. I recently got some 2X shirts and they were tight. This morning I noticed a loose-ness to one of those shirts that I don't remember being there so my body is changing.
On a side note I can't believe that I wear my clothes tighter these days. When my weight was going up I would wear loose fitting clothes thinking I was hiding my ever expanding myself from the world. Now I wear stuff that is slightly tight because I know I will be shrinking into it.
Yesterday I wore myself out. I went to Sam's Club and walked around looking at stuff. Then I went to costco and did the same. Then Walmart and Safeway. My hips were hurting last night but feel better today. I did stop at Panera and had some of their delicious turkey chili. I thought ahead and brought my 1/4 cup measuring cup with me. So I sat down at a table (before I would have eaten in the car) spooned the chili into a measuring cup and sat there eating.
The other day we went out to a Mexican restaurant and I ordered a chicken burrito without the tortilla. It was delicious.
I am wishing everyone very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonder filled New Year!

@@miiasan Thank-You, I eat all fish but I guess I will wait awhile like you suggested & see later. Someone said it may because it can be kinda rich so we will see!

@@60&goin4it no, no problem with salmon at all. Maybe you just need to hold off and try it again in a couple of months. If you can eat other kinds of fish it would seem you could salmon! I had shrimp for the first time today - yumm!
Just hope it was the salmon and that you are not getting sick!
You are doing well with your weight loss! Congrats

Has anyone had any trouble eating Salmon? I had 1/3 cup of it baked & It came back up. First thing that has done that to me. I thought I ate it slow enough but my body just didn't want it. Strange.

@@queenie's Gosh your weight loss is phenomenal! So glad to hear that!!! It won't be long & you will be at 100!! Thanks for updating us!!

That's so odd. I drink unsweet tea...
I drink tons of water. (Well my require amount)
And that's what I was thinking... still enjoy it. It's just coffee.
I haven't tried it yet. I have unflavored protein though lol

Wow ur awesome Ron keep up thanks for the update as my self I lost 70lbs my surgery was. Oct 23 2015 can't wait to hit 100lbs

@@whoahbabyy can you drink the premiere Protein vanilla shakes? It taste so good 1/2 & 1/2 with coffee. It gives me 2 cups to enjoy in the morning without going over my 1 cup limit, & maybe coffee isn't so bad diluted with protein shake!! . They only told me caffeine is dehydrating, but since I drink all my Water I figure its ok. I think you should still enjoy your tradition on Christmas morning its not that far off from Jan 14, just make sure you drink plenty of water!

Exactly! I miss the cold! I've been drinking half cups of hot chocolate with water... but I mean, that's probably not any better.
Why is it we can't have coffee yet? I can Jan 14. At 3 months out but idk. I plan to have some on christmas morning. I seriously can't do christmas without it. Esp this year. My mom and grandma and I would all drink coffee watching me and my sister/kids open ptrsents. Even as a kid, my mom would pour me coffee on christmas morning. And this is my first year without both my mom and grandmother here with us. So I plan on having a little.

@@Mogwaicat Glad you finally found something to drink, the Protein seems to be the most important other than water!! I bet the weight will start falling off of you even more!!

@@whoahbabyy Congratulations!! Good work! I don't want sweets either! thats a good things. I know I'm not suppose to drink coffee but I just started drinking a 1/2 cup every morning with the rest filled up with my vanilla Protein Shake for breakfast! Big coffee drinker so I have vowed to never go over 1 cup total forever. I know I know I can't be perfect & its cold out side!!! I can't wait to get under the 200 mark either. I weigh tomorrow so I will see where I'm at!!

@@395Ron Your weight loss sounds awesome! I'm so happy that things are turning around for you health wise, walking without a cane is a big step, no pun intended! you deserve the best, such an inspiration!!!

Update!
I hit 50 pounds loss today! And went down a Complete pant size. Probably 2, but I have found that I wearing too small of clothes before. And now those same clothes fit me a lot better. I have an entire trash bag full of jeans that looks horrible on me.. way too baggy. I have never been more excited in my life. I've been doing excellent with fluids and Protein and all this christmas shopping and christmas activities have me walking. I eat pretty much everything, minus a few things. I switched from rice to cauliflower rice and use zuchinni noodles instead of Pasta, stuff like that. Lettuce wraps instead of Buns. And turkey instead of beef. But I still eat beef, turkey and chicken. Some pork (no bacon..hated it anyways) and I'll have nibbles here and there. My biggest problem is pretzels. I eat a couple to curve my salty crunchy craving. Sweets. Blah. Don't want them really. I just miss my coffee. So I'm looking forward to that. My first post op apt is Jan 14. Hopefully I'll be 26 pounds lighter by then. I want to be 199.9 when I go!

I tried that small Protein "shot" too. It was a bit too sweet for me to stomach, but lots of protein in a small bottle.

I have been so busy! I am still teaching until tomorrow. And trying to get everything here ready for Christmas. Life has been crazy!! Hope everyone is doing fine and has a Merry Christmas!!

Hello October Family! A quick update: I'm down 55 lbs and feeling good. My plan is to add exercise in the new year. Most foods agree with me- so I have to be careful. Main issue comes when I drink too soon before or after eating. It can be a challenge. Keep updating! I love hearing from everyone!

Down 47 lbs 20 from the 2 week all clear liquid diet and 27 since surgery on 10/19

@@kvoneye it sounds like you are doing great! I am down 32 pounds since surgery which was October 8th. 53 pounds since highest weight. I feel great and almost back to normal as well. I just about did myself in last night with two little hot wings... Lol. It amazes me that I used to eat 20 at a time and still not think I was full!! I am back to work and a routine but I agree with you that it is time to add some exercise in. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!

@@edie091371 I'm guessing busy with work and family, I know I have been. Almost back to normal for me. I however tend to eat too fast from time to time which gets me. I'm down 56 in a yr and 27 since Oct 15. My goal is to be under 200 by Christmas, which I should hit as if this morning the scale said 200.2. Im once again joining the gym today. I thought I had lose flabby skin before, but you should see my arms and legs. Not good. How's things going with you?

Where is everyone?

Wow, Ron, you are doing simply awesome… such an inspiration to us all! Keep it up!
