Cataracks: It is devastating when our weight's not moving. But it will. Are you drinking a lot of Water. You might start if not already, taking Omega 3 fish oil capsules. Eat more fish that are loaded with Omeaga 3's. I like wild caught. I don't see any benefits in eating farm raised. you can do this! look how much you've lost so far. Me I've pretty much have come to a stand still and are only losing ozs. I'm about close to my goal. So I will take whatever I can get. Hehehehehe. Hang in there. ;)

I eat a lot of salmon, but since I have Omega 3s at home, I will take them. I've upped my Protein and will try to get more Water in.

Isn't it funny how the skinny out there tell you simplistically that if you expend more calories than you take in then you will lose weight. It's true, but only partially. There are so many other factors at work.

Ounces are good. You'll get there as I will. I just want it to hurry up too much and it's counterproductive.

Still on track, by I am kind of zig zagging out of the 150s this week. I won't do a final weekly weigh in until Friday when I see my PCP.

I just want to thank everyone so much for the motivation to keep up with my nutrition this week. I really think I can hit this goal if I stay focused.

I think my stall broke. I don't know if it was the higher Protein, more Water of the bit of dark chocolate I ate. Don't laugh. There are studies out there that show that it works. These 72% bars I get are are 50 grams, but look at the nutrition

Calories

280

Fat

19g

Carbs

24g

Protein

4g

I only eat 1/8 of the bar or less. It's plenty for a treat and apparently not too bad for you considering the protein and antioxidants. Those on 2,000+ diets can eat the whole bar probably. This is not an excuse to start downing the stuff by the handfuls, but a little goes a long way and it makes me happy.

Sorry dark chocolate haters. Milk chocolate is still crappy for you and has little or none of the advantages of dark chocolate.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
