Yayyy!! You all are such cool chicks we thought we'd make you your own subforum! Anyway I'm creating the Sunday thread, as it seems there aren't any others. I wanted to do it so I could pin it up without having to come back should you all want to start logging your food on Sundays.

TTFN!!

If anyone has hit a plateu in their 9th week let me know if you did anything different to get back on track. Im really worried. the first month the weight just fell off. even the second month but going into my 9th week it just stopped. i even gained like 2 pounds. im now on week 11 and nothing is coming off.

My sleeve was done june 22/11 and yes hitting plateus are hard. I found increasing my fish oils to 8 per day helped but also cutting back on the carb count in half. and yes more Water. It does not hurt to have a protien shake for breakfast and lunch. I have 5 tiny meals a day, enough that all I need is a fruit nappy bowl for my food. Soups are only 1/3 cup. I have an awsome recipe for chicken soup that my husband ate most of it. It was that good, You will get your weight down don't worry. Focus on results not eating so much. I know sometimes it is hard

I am a little over 17 weeks post-op and here is what I have had today!

B- 2 1/2 Foster Farm's Turkey meatballs

L- 3 oz can Low Sodium Starkist Chunk Lite Tuna in Water (i ate about 3/4 of it)

D- Probably 2-2.5 oz of some type of meat. chicken, fish or steak and a bite or two of veggies

I will have some type of snack through out the day to bring my calories up. Beef Jerky, peanuts, Protein bar or greek yogurt.

Jessica,

Will you share your soup recipe? My husband and I love soup so that can "kill two birds". I am only one week out so it will be 2 weeks more before I am able to eat anything that doesn't go through a strainer.

so far i have had a protein drink, which was chocolate soy milk and one protein pack from carnations.

I also had little chicken bites that i fried with fish fry batter and mix veg.
