Been there...done that. Suppositories were my answer. It was the most uncomfortable feeling ever. I thought I was dying. I now use chia seeds on a daily basis in almost all of my drinks.

I miss chicken and dumplings ???? but don't miss the feeling I had after eating several bowls of it.

I've been walking/jogging every other day. Still losing but it is slowing down which I'm good with. Was trying to stay at 200 but my body isn't cooperating. Already at 195. My goal is to 5k, 10k, then marathons.

I agree. Your doing awesome. Follow the guidelines and never stop walking.

Your stomach is probably trying to adjust to the change. It may be a build up of acid. I never had acid refluxed/gerd until after my surgery. Now I just stay away from spicy foods to prevent it. If your nutritionist is ok with it, try some frozen sugar free Popsicles. They were very soothing for me after my surgery.

Are you all still careful with soups. I've always strained my soups so that the only thing I take in are the solids.

I've pretty much reached my goal. Down 125 pounds. I will definitely be reading these posts regularly. Finding ways to maintain and keep the weight down is my new goal. I may lose more but my personal goal was 200 pounds. I go jogging regularly. So recommendations on what you all are doing would be great. I'm a police officer so it's great to be where I'm at now. One thing I have done different is I've started drinking Spark on the days I plan to jog/run. Has anyone tried this any?

I have lost 125 pounds and am getting really close to my goal weight of 200 pounds. Is there a way to slow weight loss down. I don't want to go to far past 200. I do workout a lot and go jogging frequently and want to continue that. Any fellow veterans have any info?
