Topic: RE: Raisens, Grapes, Popcorn, Coconut, Corn
I have tried popcorn and grapes. Popcorn was ok if something else was on my stomach first. I peel the skin off the grapes. Also, they only way I like tomatoes is if they are peeled. Haven't tried raisens, they are too sugary for me. Leanne

Topic: RE: I AM GETTING FUSTRATED!!!!
Thank you Ladies, I guess I cannot shake this feeling of I wont see past 200 and I know that may sound crazy but I am literally scared to death. Its not a good goal weight and I know for a fact I eat more. maybe not as much but I get hungry often and I try to eat good things. I just needed to see what everyone else was feeling. I know alot of times we are scared that we will be the only people who this does not work for.

Sorry ladies, wish I could say I feel bad for you...but I don't!!! LOL! I had my surgery the same day as yours and I have only lost 50 lbs. You are 22 lbs ahead of me!!! I'd love to have another 22 lbs off my body. You've had a tremendous loss and your body is now taking a time out. Believe me it will kick in again. Congratulations on what you have accomplished so far! Good luck and hang in there...I know, sometimes it's really hard to. Kim R/az

"ditto" I am still in the same situation. I can't seem to get over this plateau @ -70 lbs. I hope we all start melting again soon. I think all our January bodies are on the same schedule - weird huh? Best of luck - I also can't wait for the scale to yell at me 199 Dawn -70

I have no problem with raisens or grapes. I haven't had the guts to try popcorn or corn yet. On the other hand, we can have like 3 kernals of popcorn before it fills our stomachs?

As I type this I know that its silly but you are all in the same boat as far as surgery dates and I guess I need some reassurance. I was 272 going into surgery in Jan of 04 and I have lost 72 lbs so far. I am now stuck at 200 and my biggest fear is that its all over@@@@@@ I know that I do this alot. I have weeks where I stay the same then I will have a loss of 4+ or so. I am happy but I cant shake the fear that its over now and I will be 200 forever@@@@ I could not walk this week because of the rain and I tell ya I eat well. I dont do sugar etc or shakes, yes I get my protein from meats and other sources but I always wonder if I am eating to much because I get hungry and I can eat. I am sorry to ramble but I dont think the honey moon is over do you?

Raisens are good fiber............. It all depends on the person........... I would not eat alot of popcorn........... but a small amount is fine......... Everyone is going to be different on they way they tolerate it!

Topic: RE: Scars itching!!!
I would just use some good baby oil or vasiline............ Lotions have alcohol in them that is a dring agent............. You go in the store and you will not find a lotion with out alcohol in it! Baby oil and vasiline don;t have alcohol in it............. When you skin is dry it itches more!

Topic: RE: Anyone else on plateau
Wow.. here we are all together.. this is wonderful to at least know that we are not alone. I didn 't see the scale move for a MONTH.. nothing... in fact it would go up a couple of lbs.. then come down and I'd think.. wow.. got it going again.. and then stop. YEACH... but it is moving now again. I'm so grateful. it is hard not seeing the scale move for so long.. even though I knew I was still losing inches.. it isn't as gratifying as seeing that scale moving again.. I am 1/2 lbs away from being in the 100s. and 13 lbs away from the century club. I want to be there by the end of this month.. so I'm going to have to work hard at it. I'd like to lose 50 more lbs.. but I know those will be hard fought for. So, we just need to all keep going .. drink MORE WATER, eat more protein and EXERCISE.. all the things we didn't do before this surgery. We can do it.. I can dream it.. I can do it. Keep posting, Dawn.. it is good to know we are all in this together. Jan
