@ redgrind
8am-8:30am premiere Protein Shakes (with lots of ice bananas or strawberries or both) every morning on my way to work...
10:30am-11am IF i'm hungry i will have Breakfast such as Special K Cereal w/fat free milk or 2 hard boiled eggs or fruit or yogurt (any kind make sure is low fat and the Protein is double digits)
1pm-2pm i have any type of progresso Soup (half cup) or lean cuisine or smart ones
if i crave a snack between lunch and dinner i will have sugar free apple sauce or pudding or peanuts or tuna pouches (they are low in calories , high in protein)
i drink as much Water as i can in between...not half hour before or after meals
7pm-8pm i will eat the other half of the soup or steamed veggies with chicken or fish....
i am working on more menus....

@sylvirnblack831 no no no that's not the attitude we want around here , stay positive and don't think about it just continue doing the right things and stay away from the scale, i used to weigh my self everyday now only once a week... i feel i haven't lost much either but it's because i am not working out as i should i eat well but i should be doing both , i am joining a gym with in the next few weeks [emoji4] keep up the good work u are only a month out give ur body a chance....

Congrats!!!! I'm so hoping I get to see that ''1'' on my journey. I'll probably fall off the scale and break a hip. Go buy yourself something fabulous!

sylvirnblack831 reacted to darinak in Almost a year since my surgeversary and 1 lb to 100lb
Its almost been a year since my surgery and ive been at a stall for 4 month. Today i went on the scale and im 1lb away from 100lb loss. There are so many more goals to reach, but.... i can finally say that i can but Jr. size pants and A&F shirts haha. From 24 to 14 from 3XL to L [emoji38] my goal is another 40 lb or so, but this is a great start!

sylvirnblack831 reacted to PorkChopExpress in Liquid Diet to speed up weight loss
I agree, don't rush it...the body loses how it loses. Everybody's is different. It holds onto Water prior to flushing out the fat cells, so at any given time that you step on a scale, your body may be pounds heavier than it actually is, due to Water alone. Don't sweat it so much.
Do you know roughly what your body's TDEE number is (total daily energy expended)? Calculate it (calculators are available online), then subtract the calories you're consuming any given day. The difference is your caloric deficit. Then remember that one pound of fat is the equivalent of 3500 calories. I think it's quite likely that you aren't exceeding 1000 calories a day right now, two months post-op. Starting at 301 pounds, you're probably at a deficit somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000-2500 calories a day. Figure 17,000 calories a week in deficit. Divide that by 3500 and you're looking at a probable loss of five pounds a week (though the body does what it does, and it may be more or less at any given weigh-in date). And the TDEE I guessed at there doesn't really include a decent amount of cardio, which will boost your TDEE another 100-200 calories a day.
5lbs lost each day like that ends up looking like 100 pounds after five months. At my BEST dieting and exercising without the help of surgery, I managed to get around 50 pounds off in that amount of time...and that was a seriously disciplined effort (which stalled, as always). So just let your diet, exercise and sleeve do their thing. If you want to add to your weight loss, be on top of your exercise.

sylvirnblack831 reacted to *Lexie* in Embrace the Stall
Great post! I have discovered that I have a cycle of losing really well for around 2 weeks and then 2 weeks or so of no weight loss. I have had to remind myself a few times to take a deep breath and just keep doing what I'm doing and not go crazy and try something radical to get the weight loss going again. It all evens out.
And I'd rather have a stall than a gain any day. :-)

sylvirnblack831 reacted to Babbs in Frustrated and Discouraged
The good news is you've done absolutely nothing wrong. It's very normal to stall at around 3 weeks out from surgery. 99% of us did it, and if you search "Three week stall" on this forum or even Google, you'll get a thousand results.
Stay the course, keep getting in your liquids and Protein and it will pass. Promise.

sylvirnblack831 reacted to MegInNOLA in 36 Pounds Lost In 32 Days...good?
Y'all are having wonderful losses! Good for you! One tip I found was that in order to get in more fluids, I needed some flavor in there--I used watered-down Gatorade, since I really like the taste, but you can also Water down a lot of other juices/beverages for flavor, which will encourage you to drink more, one of those "I like it, so I drink it because it tastes good" kind of things.
Keep on rocking your sleeves!!!
