Question...anyone having issues digesting peanuts or Peanut Butter? They make me violently I'll where I didn't have this issue before. just curious

It is probably the fat content or the sugar content or a combination of both. I have not tried peanuts or peanut butter, just seems like a lot of fat and calories for the amount of Protein.< /p>

Try the p28 breads & Bagels & pb2it peanut butters (6) varieties to choose from go to bariatric breads. Com & get full list. Walmart sells the pb2it it a a powder &taste great.

I had my six month (almost 7) follow up and my surgeon was very pleased...me too! I've lost 65% of my excess weight and all my numbers look good. So excited! My surgeon made me feel so motivated and happy. Woot!!!

I have been in one since before Christmas. Amped up my exercise this week. Hopefully, that breaks it.

I'll let ya know when I weigh in on Sunday! *fingers crossed* as of last Sunday, no... I gave my fiancé my scale and told him to only let me have it on Sundays now because I was getting SO depressed. Since I did that last Sunday, I have REALLY been working hard at getting lots of Protein and Water in. Been keeping carbs and fat low plus amped up my exercise. I'm exhausted and in need of some wine after a terrible work week, so I'm going to "give in" a bit tonight and have a glass or 2 of wine. I just don't want to mess up what I've worked so hard on all week. Lol

Girl my fingers are crossed for you. I told my husband to take my scale away today. I was starting to obsess. I stepped up my exercise this week so I sure hope mine starts to move. Keep me posted.

Go slow. I had just two ounces of wine last Saturday night, and I was buzzed. You might not need to drink as much to unwind from that terrible week!

I hope all your hard work pays off!

Well... I have an update for you... I decided to weigh in this morning because we will be away tomorrow morning and i like to try and have the same set up every time I weigh in... I wish I could share some good news with you, but unfortunately not... I literally did not lose one ounce! Nothing! Exact same weight as last week... As the last 3 months! I'm SO depressed. All I could do was literally cry. I don't get it. I've tried everything. Upping Protein, lowering fat, lowering carbs, all liquids, upping exercise, UPPING CALORIES, and not tracking at all... I'm going to call my surgeons office and ask if they'll run labs... I have hypothyroidism and am worried that my thyroid pill isn't getting absorbed so my thyroid has slowed down a ton. I'm just over it. It's such hard work for zero reward...

I am so VERY sorry! Good idea to have labs run. I also think calling you doc is an excellent idea. They can look at what you are doing and possibly tweak it for you. Also, remember the scale is just one measurement tool. Have you been losing inches? How are your clothes fitting? You also said last week was very stressful, that can effect weight loss as well. DON'T GIVE UP!!! This is a journey, not a race. This is a rough patch, but going through this could very likely help you achieve long term success. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I agree with baconville it is one tool. I've been thinking about hiding my scale because in reality the number doesnt matter. Feeling good, improved health and smaller clothes mean more to me. Sweetie, don't fret that stupid scale it doesnt define you. Go away with your fiance, enjoy yourself, follow your plan and refocus when you get back.

Dearest Wannabeawifey,

I agree with Baconville & iamsoworthit we are all hitting stalls and our bodies have figured out what we have done.The human body is a self correcting mechanism it will sort itself out.

Your doing everything right just stay on target and it will pass . go away enjoy your time and don't freak out about this. I've personally have been stalled for 3 weeks but still I still feel amazing. Ive been fat for so long a short stall like this is but a small bump on the road in this very long and amazing journey

look in the mirror and see the awesome beautiful person who is blossoming

Cheers

RJ
