@acampbell1318 - You will get there!!! I try not to stress out about the stalls.. I just came out of a really long stall.. it is what it is... I look at it this way, i am down X amout of weight and that is better then where i started from... I know in time i will lose if i keep doing what my dr & nut set up for me. To be honest, i wish i was a little bit of a slower loser, i am starting to see the effects on my skin from losing so fast... I try to eat mostly whole foods (very little processed - just a handfull of items and thats it) Every morning: (and yes i mean every morning) I have an egg white with a slice of Am cheese. (sometimes i have 2 egg whites, but most times i cant eat all of it) some times i have 1/2 of a whole grain english muffin and one egg white w/chz.. (only once or twice a week) Mid morning: i will have one of the following - half apple, Protein Shake, nuts, fruit, rolled up turkey breast with cheese or greek yogurt. Lunch: one of the following: steak, shrimp, chicken and if i have room, maybe a small spring salad (we are talking 1/2 cup for all of this) or some kind of raw veggie (but only like one or two bites then im full) - some times its chicken salad (very little light mayo) with few slices of cheese, and maybe 1/2 apple or 4 triscuits... Mid afternoon: (sometimes i skip this cause i am not hungry, but if i am it might be the rest of my lunch or one of the Snacks already listed above) Dinner: some kind of meat/fish... (normally its a long the lines of lunch) If i go out to eat, i have left overs for lunch & dinner for a few days... Snack: (not always but maybe 2 times a week - some frozen yogurt (about 1/8 - 1/4cup) really its just a taste... I stay away from all pork products, and most processed foods - my new tummy just doesnt like it. I dont really care for ground meats anymore either... its too heavy for me. I only drink Water, skim milk, Protein Shakes, once in a while i will have unsweeten Tea or G2 low cal. (but not too often) - also i dont drink but maybe 2-3 oz of wine MAYBE once or twice a month... my new tummy just doesnt like it... but my brain does LOL I also walk every day... Some days i try to add running/jogging into it. I just started riding my bike again... I pretty much do the same thing everyday, becuase its what works for me... Dont worry you WILL get there!!! I have posted some pictures... but i will see if i can get a picture taken today and post it - Thanks everyone - i love this site, the support is awesome... sometimes it just what we need!!! Happy Tuesday!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
