I feel so emotional today, I have no idea what my problem is. I haven't felt like this since the first week or two. Anyone else experience this?

Hi Sunny80! I was told that we store estrogen in our fat cells and am wondering if maybe when it's released into our systems we get PMS-like symptoms. I have days like that too. Fortunately it seems to go away as quickly as it appears. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Maybe that's it. Thank you for the reply! Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Feel better Sunny! After my last pity party, the scale finally started moving again. I had to hit Walmart and a thrift store for some stretchy shorts and skirts for work. I'm officially not buying plus size any more!

I can also eat salad.. I can pretty much eat everything. I had noodles and I threw up. Remember this is a tool.

I have lost almost 30 lbs but not lost a full size. How does that happen? I haven't lost a pound in two weeks. I can't eat salads no matter how much I chew. I'm so frustrated right now. I'm a positive person, and grateful for this opportunity. Just stuck.

You will lose a size.. I'm down 45 and just now losing a size.. You are losing fat from all over your body.. It will go.. You might be in your first stall.. it will come. Keep doing what you are doing.. How are your calories? What weight did you start at? Salads are different for everyone.. if you can't tolerate raw veggies, eat cooked ones.

I get it.. but it will go!

Hi girls and guys! I am from the UK and I am struggling with cooking decent healthy meals, I just get fed up with cooking such a little amount and still not being able to eat it all, I end up throwing it away as I hate to reheat stuff it tastes awful to me! I lived on take aways cause I hated cooking! I am just not sure! Some days I end up not eating at all, it slips my mind cause I am dealing with my 3 kids so forget as i fall into bed when they do and sparks out

I have stalled a few times. My first one was almost 3 weeks. I wanted to cry. But I remembered that it does not last forever. Keep eating right and working out.

What do your kids eat?? Why can't you make a meal where you can eat too?

I had surgery on March 17th and have lost 30 lbs. It seems that I am losing much slower than on previous diets. I exercise 4 times/week and my caloric intake is around 900 - 1050 calories/day. I am a bit disappointed, but truly hope the weight loss will continue and maybe speed up a bit.

Usually they don't have a big meal at dinner time as they have one at lunch at school so I give them something light usually egg on toast or Beans on toast or toast with Vegemite or jam, today I have eaten 550 cals but I don't feel that it's enough!

I'm paranoid about my kids being overweight. They eat mostly high protein.. Sometimes they have grain.. But not every day. eggs are a great protein.. We normally have meat and veggie for dinner.< /p>

Have a Protein Shake.< /p>

      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!!
