Fantastic Miss KateE. I hope you are proud that your hard work is paying off. You should be!

yae u

Must be in the air. I had to go out and buy fresh lemons today as the cravings were so bad. Better lemons than french fried or chips or other evil things LOL

I was going to say, this is a great craving to have!

lemon wedges with salt on. mmmmm.

Woohoo!

I haven't lost any weight in a week

Oh that's so frustrating! BUT it's also totally normal. Am I correct that you're about a month post-op? A 1-week stall is heartbreaking, but part of your body readjusting. None of that mumbo-jumbo about your body changing it's caloric usage due to 'newness' or anything, just redistributing how those calories are put to use. You may well be building some muscle and thus the fat loss doesn't register. Or your liver has finished it's massive post-op shrinkage (or is even rebounding slightly) causing the fat loss to be 'balanced out.' Or maybe it's about water - I'm guessing at this point you're better able to drink than you were right after surgery. Your body thus is better hydrated, has a higher water % and thus the scale won't move even as fat is metabolized. Keep the faith, and when in doubt, post here AND talk to your NUT.

thank you I will the scale is creeping down again - I hope its lasts!

Get over it ROLFMAO - its good to vent here saying you want something special to eat - please don't give in - stay strong - i know you can

kathy

I'm right with you love!!!!

I didn't give in - I won't, but it never stops me wanting some!

yay!

It will get better as time goes by. Keep doing what you know you're supposed to be doing....protein, fluids, and walking...at the very least. Are you taking any B12 and iron? Hang in there!!

It's really hard at first but it does get better. My surgery was June 1st and I'm just now beginning to get my energy back. Water plays a big part in your energy level, be sure your getting at least 64oz. It's a struggle at first to get that much water in but you can do it!!

thanks everyone I have more energy today, I've been bad I need to drink more water and haven't been taking my vitamins as they make me sick but think I will buy some chewable ones today instead of crushing them :/
