10 Week Plateau is Finally History!!!



Recommended Posts

I have finally decided to put myself back on my priority list. I know it's very "Obrah'ish" but for weeks I've let other things take over my life. The holidays are over and I've painfully thrown away all the yummy Snacks in the house (except the ones my skinny daughter has hidden from me, bless her). I've restocked my shelves with the food I know works for me and I've started exercising every day. I had a small fill last week and almost immediately noticed a difference. So, I think I'm all set to see what the next few weeks have in store. There's nothing like just cleaning house and giving yourself a fresh start. I was stuck at 219 lbs for 10 weeks (at least no gain!) and the scale finally moved. Looking at my chart, I'm still doing better with the lab-band than I was doing on Weight Watchers alone at the same time. So all is good. Still have a long way to go but I'm up for the challenge. I'm not going to look back, only forward.

God bless you all!!! You all give such encouragement and wisdom.

Congrats on breaking your plateau and your fresh start.

I get a little discouraged sometimes waiting for my second fill because I'm so hungry and still going on just will power.

I think you are doing awesome and I will be thrilled if I am where you are 7 months out.

Good Luck.

I saw that you said you stocked your shelves with foods that work for you. Can you share with me a list of a few of those foods? I have also come to a stand still and would really like some help.

Well, I have a pretty boring diet. I eat oatmeal with cinammon and raisins every morning, for lunch I usually have a Lean Cuisine. For dinner, I usually take my Dad and Daughter out to eat, depending on the day. If not, I'll fix something but I'll get the ingredients that day and don't store them. Left-overs are split up in individual portions or thrown away. At work I keep some fat-free yogurt and small plastic cups of mixed fruit in the refridgerator. For evening, I make sure I have my GNC Cookies 'n Cream Protein Powder that I use with Lactaid Fat-free milk. I usually throw some frozen strawberries in the blender too with some ice cubes, agave nectar, and all my powdered medications.

I do let my daughter buy some ice cream but she gets the individual one-serving cups so she can monitor them. They really don't tempt me. What got me over the holidays was all the gift baking I did. I think I ate more than I gifted. Big mistake. I won't do that again. It would be better to just buy already made gift baskets and have them shipped directly. This year I also received a lot a goody-gift baskets. That was tough.

Hope this helps. God Bless!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
