im so with you all !!! my date was jan.18th.started at 304 and now 288.but i have not lost any wieght for almost 2 weeks.i had my first fill on the feb.25 and that was interesting, so i hope something starts helping me. the whey idea is great with carnation breakfast in a blender with ice and milk. i do 2 shakes a day with 30 protians in each one, most of the rest of the day i eat fish. holly oregon

I also hate protein shakes. I find them gritty tasting. I bought a thing of any whey protein. So far ive tried it in yogurt and baby food chicken and found it to be not bad at all. I was hopeing this worked for me cause I dont know how else to get the protein in.

I am the same way. I have worn slippers and socks. Plus I have been wearing socks to bed. The hubby trys to take them off when we have sex and thinks it's funny. Stupid man.

Oooh! Me, me, me!! I just finished a stall that lasted almost a month (I swear it's true). 16 lbs since surgery is awesome (way to go!), and my Dr. said that these stalls are normal (esp. for women) because it's our body's way of kicking into survival mode. Change up your routine - drink more water, eat more protein, do some different exercise - but you'll start losing again!

Denise ~ You are not alone. I hade surgery on the 21st and I have stalled for about a week now. Scales are not moving at all. I am still on stage 1, too!! I am going to purchase some of the whey protein powder into Wal-Mart today and will add that into my Carnation Instant Breakfasts. I hope that will jumpstart my weight loss. I know, it sure gets frustrating!!! Keep your chin up!!! ~ Amber
