RIGHT ON Hunny!!!!!!! That is great news.

I'm sending you a big bear hug! Keep your chin up and a smile on your face! The weight will continue to come off, just slower, trust me I know! I have only lost 6.5 lbs this month! And I'm frustrated as heck. I am however one of the fortunate ones, as I've lost something every week, maybe only a pound, but I have lost. I only have 19.5 more pounds to get to my goal and I know that it'll take forever! We just have to keep reminding ourselves of how much healthier and happier we are because of the pounds that have melted away thus far. I try to think of all my new clothes that are size 8's and some 6's and that puts a smile on my face! Best of luck to you during your WLS journey. Kimberley 248/236/144.5/125 Someday I hope!

Hi Pat, Here was my food for today: 24 oz 2% latte from Starbucks bag of small peanut butter crackers 6 oz mixed fruit philly cheese steak with mushrooms and provolone cheese with au jus minus the bun half of baked potatoe with cheese, bacon bits (real) and mushrooms 8 oz glass of milk 24 oz water That's probably not enough protein - but I'm working on it...

Hi Kimberley, You are doing great! I am sending you a great big hug to help you through the slow spots. I know exactly what you mean! I toggled between 204 and 198 for about 3 weeks. Imagine my surprise when I had to buy smaller clothes even without changing weight! Have fun and don't worry about the numbers. God Bless! Barbie 281/196/170ish

Hi Pat! I'm not counting calories either, but I do watch my carbs and eat a lot of protein and I eat my protein first. Because I'm not a breakfast person (never have been) I have a low carb slim fast shake (it has 20 grams of protein), for lunch it varies. Today I am having 1/2 cup low fat plain yogart w/raisins & one packet of equal and 3 thin pieces of (about 1-1/2" in diameter) summer sausage and for dinner I'll probably have a scrambled egg with cheese & a 2-3 ozs. of a bean dish I make. For my evening snack I'll either have a protein shake or a glass of skim milk. My afternoon snack will probably be nuts or a low carb slim fast bar. I don't throw up, (Thank God) but if I eat too fast I get nauseaued and just feel crapy! A lot of times after I eat I do get a pain in my left side. I have an appointment with my surgeon next Wednesday and will ask him about it. Best of luck to you in your WLS journey! Kimberley 248/236/144.5/125 Some day I hope!
