Thanks for all the responses!!! :)

So, here is what I did to change things up, and I am going to keep doing this until I stop losing.

I am not concentrating on Protein, or following the protein first rule. I am still eating turkey and chicken, but also veggies and fruits, yogurts and granola. I get organic granola so it doesnt have all the added bad stuff. Also, I get organic yogurt, and organic milk, add some berries and make a yummy smoothie, nothing else in it. I eat blueberries, strawberries and blackberries, either in a smoothie or in vanilla yogurt with granola on top. I even got an organic granola with dark chocolate for a treat. I am eating around 1400-1500 calories, some days even as much as 1800!! A few days I even had organic cheadar crackers shaped like bunnies, LOL. Probably for kids, but they were super tasty. Most days, I have over 200g of carbs. I guess it works for my body, and hopefully it keeps working! I track my calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc, just so I can look over what works best for me. Here is a typical day for me. Most of you probably don't even eat half of this.

Breakfast: 1 whole banana with 1/4 cup granola (sometimes just the banana fills me up, so I eat the granola later)

Lunch: Bagel thin (everything) toasted, with 1 slice of cheese and 2oz reduced sodium turkey breast lunchmeat

Snack:Smoothie (1cup) OR Yogurt (1/2 cup) with berries and 1/4 cup granola

Dinner: 4 oz grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast (marinated), 1/4 cup of green Beans, and 1 slice of cheese

Snack: 1/4 cup chocolate granola or sf pudding cup or sf Jello or all of the above :)

Hope this helps someone! If you aren't losing much or are in a stall, it cant hurt to try! I know organic foods are a lot more expensive, but I feel great just adding a few organic things in. I am planning on adding more. Also, adding some more veggies.

I am not exercising right now. I plan to start the Couch to 5K program really soon! Once I do start that, I am going to add a Protein Drink on the days I walk/jog. Probably going to add in some other exercises too.

Thanks again for all the support! You guys are awesome!

All that sounds sooo delicious Sarah!!! You have inspired me to make me some Greek yogurt w/Fiber One... lol :) I love Granola though, I haven't had any in a long time. I need to go buy some.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
