How are all the November folks doing? I've had a nasty cold and haven't been able to exercise for a few days. I miss it!

Ugh...I'm just strolling along..another week long stall...frustrated with the whole process..hurt myself last week...called the Dr and they think it's just muscle strain but I'm more convinced it's a bruised rib..haven't exercised in a week also thinking I need to get dialated...trying to dig myself back out of feeling depressed this last week...I'll get there...hope you feel better Lisa.....I'm only down 37 lbs

But it's 37 lbs you wouldn't have been down otherwise! The stall will break...I just came out of a 2 week one. It sucked. I changed up my calories for a few days and it finally worked. Take care of yourself and don't hurt yourself worse.

I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but adding calories really helps. it kicks your body out of starvation mode where your body is desperately holding on to every calorie and gram of fat. more shakes worked for me cos I can fit more in.

my surgeon told me yesterday that I'm half way there with the weightloss... which kinda freaks me out. Halfway there ALREADY??? does this mean it will go at a snail pace for the next 2 years?

I am only down about 37-38 as well since surgery. I am only losing 2 pounds per week now. I am happy with that but I am also getting really depressed. I didn't lose much less without the surgery. I hope to heaven I am not at the half way mark. I will take a bridge.

Lisa, Hope you feel better!

This last week just threw me off..feel like im a week out from surgery again..jars to get up and down from laying position..the pain is up high under my breast in the rib area...when it happened I felt something pop...i really don't think it's muscle..i know what that feels like...i was worried I did damage to the surgery...do you think it could be a hernia? It hurts just to hiccup

I was laying on my stomach on the floor when it happened

Ouch. Better take it easy Sky.

I created this Mexican egg casserole for dinner. I'm so excited!

Sky. Oh man. Didn't realize it was that bad. I don't think you hurt your surgery. Sounds muscle. Hugs!

Btw the casserole sounds good

It was fantastic. I love to cook and come up with bariatric friendly recipes.

What's your recipe? You had me at Mexican lol
