If your hungry you may be needing more calories in order to lose more

We are all hitting stalls. One thing it's your stomach is healed so the swelling has gone down leaving more room to eat. Just make sure you eat and drink your protein. I had to up my calories, and boom I started to lose weight again. However my calories came from protein and veggies. I finally added a yogurt and a hand full of pretzel flats. Good luck

I am right there with you. I have been taking the train to crazytown. Anger depression just psycho

...hope this ends soon

I was psycho too in the beginning. I didn't even like myself. Lol. It will pass.

ok i have a horrible problem.

thought i had food poisening last week but last night symptoms returned: shakes ' date=' fever, vomiting , horrible gas, and constant nausea. i tried a syntrax matrix shake made with milk(didnt have any lactaid or even 2% in the house so used whole milk) tasted great went down fine. 2 hours later shaking, vomiting etc all night felt horrible everytime i got up to pee vomting dry heaving for 2 min awful! every moring at work i am nauseated, vomited this am(and by vomit i mean the motion there is nothing in there so its saliva and what little water i get in) i try to eat my cream of wheat or banana but its hard due to the nausea. I have to force myself to eat. I am so miserable i really need to figure out what is causing this. any ideas?[/quote']

Sounds like dumping. You probably can't have the milk.

You.are lactose intolerant and are having late dumping.

Yes I stalled for 3 weeks ( weeks 7 thru 10)

This month the weightloss has been so bad

I know I need to work out more its just so crazy

What is everyone's average weight loss now at 4 months out

Im sttill at 2 to 3 lbs a week

I have stalled a few times......loosing very slow, only down 28kg , was done 7september!! But keep working hard, as long as it keeps going down, thats important

I have been so lazy lately since work, but I have got to get back in the work out motion, regardless how tired I feel:)
