You've lost around fifty pounds in five months,that seems on track, however sounds like you're struggling. You need to find a nutritionist I think and find out what you should be eating and then do it.

Today I'm at 172.8

I know what I want to eat for a two week stretch when I go grocery shopping and then plan accordingly. Plus we pretty much eat the same things weekly.

174 this morning.

Stephanie I am 173 this morning. My goal is to get to 170, by Halloween.

It sounds like you have a good plan.

173 losing slow, but now one pound away from 100 Lost.

I like emoticons????????????

I take it that you are on soft food. If you can squish it you can probably eat it. You can also eat canned chicken or pork and ad mayonnaise to those.. Yogurt is also good As well as canned veggies. I also ate some baby food and toddler sausages. Although, they were pretty bland., just a thought.

175.2

The only time I've seen my surgeon was one appointment before surgery,surgery, and while in the the hospital otherwise it's always been the the nurse practitioner.

You should be fine, I never had to do a clear liquid pre-op just a week of high protein low carb 1,000 calorie diet and the usual no food after midnight thing.

My first goal was to be below two hundred by my one year surgerversary, I made it plus twenty five more, for a weight of 175. My next goal is to lose between ten and twenty more pounds by my next one. This still puts me at overweight,but considering my BMI was almost 50 before I'll take it.

174 this morning.

Also you can buy bread that has protein, if you eat whole grain or multigrain bread. They have around four grams of protein per slice.

Last night I had four ounces of chicken. A cucumber and tomato salad and a quarter cup of barley.(actually a couple of bites)

Ground chicken or pork is good. Pulled parks goes down well for me too. Chicken and steak can be tough to digest. Pork as well.

Wow! You're efficient! It took me about a year to be ready for surgery. Congratulations and good luck!

I do weigh myself daily,but only record my weight once a week. I fluctuate almost daily, so don't panic about two pound gain.

It took me at least 10 months to lose 60 pounds aT a year out I'm down 98 pounds. we all lose at our own rate. 60 pounds is excellent!

Ya, don't re pierce until you are at goal. I've lost almost 100 pound and have gone from a 48/50 DD to a 40 D and am not done shrinking yet. You are going to shrink!

I eat carbs as part of my regular diet. I was told to have at least sixty grams of carbs a day. Most of them come from dairy or vegetables. I occasionally eat pizza and at inservice for work the other day I ate two home made cookies. I added them to my daily calorie count., but I don't eat cookies at home, I eat pizza maybe a couple times a month. And I eat whole grain pasta if I eat it at all, and it works for me. Everyone needs to find what works for them.

I definitely dress differently, I'm wearing colors for one and not just black. I also started wearing, heals, consistent jewelry and make up. At least at work. I work in a school and so have been off all summer.

I always stall, then lose stall then lose. It's been my pattern since the beginning. Eventually you will break the stall.

It depends on what the readymade food is labeled as, because I've used my Ebt. Card to buy refrigerated dinners from the deli section of the supermarket.
