I am week 8 and i am at 22 lbs

you look amazing!! good for you!

im almost 8 weeks and have only lost 22 lbs, so i feel your frustration, but we have to fucus on the long term...like dave said if we maintained our loss for 1 yr we would lose 200 lbs..WOW...i dont want to lose 200 lbs!!

welcome Kim! I wish I had done it first as well...no more drama like the band and the sleeve!

welcome Kellly....doing well ty...how are you? what is your story?

I buy butterscotch discs from my local grocery store bulk section...I only have one once in a while when i just want something sweet or I throw a few in my purse for a treat on the road...they come different flavors...i dont buy many and only an occasional treat...

Candace, how are you dong?? hope your ok..please keep us updated,,

Yes Sleeve2RNy...how are you doing, so sorry your having problems...prayers coming your way...keep us posted ...

I would love the recipe for the bariatric friendly pizza!!

oh, I just googled them and found them at my local supermarket....thanks!

never heard of them, who makes them???

congrats on your wt loss....everyone has mixed emotions before surgery including me, and like they told me and now i will tell you....you would not be normal of you didnt have these feeling...just breathe and focus on your journey ahead....you will be fine.....xxxx

So, I keep hearing how when we are not losing wt, we are losing inches...I dont understand how we lose inches, when we are not losing weight??....I also dont understand how we dont lose weight when we are not eating calories, it seems to defy everything I know about losing weight...calories in and calories out...Know I hear sugar alchohols can stall weight loss?? How, if we are only eating 800 calories a day...I dont get it....Can someone please clarify this for me if you understand it...thanks so much...

Thank you DL, I think I finally got it...gonna go look at the link on sugar alchohols....thank you every one for you imput...it all helped bring it together for me...xxxx

oh!....well if its anything like the band, i would not have taken it........that was an awful experience...

I also hear that anesthesia can cause grey hair...

thanks everyone for taking the time to explain...it does help, still not sure completely...how about the sugar alchohols..why do they stall wt....are net carbs a misleading theory? does this mean no more protein bars?

I dont know what it is?

how much is too much???

REALLY??? oh no...I knew it could take you out of ketosis, but....OHHHHH.... i dont know...this sucks!!

I see they sell them at GNC, i will get them there....

where do you get your quest bars? checked the local grocery store and sams club...no luck,

I know, me too....Im extremely frustrated.,,,,groan......

WOW thats awesome, if it makes you feel better, i have stalled 3 times and im only 61/2 weeks out and lost 20 lbs

How awesome....so glad you and the cat are better off because of your surgery!!
