What specifically do you want help with ? I sent u a PM if u prefer that.

Try small, frequent, high Protein meals and Snacks, don't try to go low fat ( I eat 5-6 a day) Drink lots of Water but not during or half hr after meals.

Examples of what I eat:

Turkey Jerky

1 fried egg on 1slice light (35 calorie toast) with a slice of cheese on it

Half a large apple w BP

Light yogurt

Half a sandwich made w 1slice light (35 calorie) bread toasted or grilled.

Cup of Soup or chowder. NO crackers

salad w meat, cheese

3 oz protein and small amount of veggies

Cucumber slices, baby carrots and ranch dip

Hey piano gal i got to 158 and now stuck at 176 for months it's crazy i did the 5 day test lost like 2 lbs. I feel discouraged because i excersize 5 days a week and wouldn't go over 1250 calories a day. Take all the proper Vitamins i also have bipolar and take medication and that actually helps aid in weight loss what i take and it's not. I take melatonin i sleep 4 to 5 hours and once in a blue moon i get 6 I'm happy those nights. I just had back surgery last month luckily haven't gained i know it is gonna be rough yet again. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism due to the gastric bypass 2 severe ulcers 3 hernias removed gallbladder out i did it all right but obstacles keep getting thrown at me it sucks i know. Somewhere in my depressed mind i know there has to be some hope because what else do we have left. We did all this and for what? We all knew it wasn't gonna be easy and some people are damn lucky to have the weight just shoot on off but those like me and you we have to fight damn hard and I know I cry some days and tell myself it's not fair but then I say snap out of it. Anyway enough of my preaching lol if you need to talk I am hear for you I know how it is. And by the way my doctor said to me it's normal to gain 15 lbs or so after to stop losing and start eating normal foods again.

There was a study done that proves lack of sleep and or stress will make you retain fat...until the stress is addressed it will be tough to lose the weight.

      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.

      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!!
