Topic: RE: How are u doing?
hey January buddies, so glad to hear from ya! - Diane glad to have you aboard, and welcome!
No Wows here - I am just crawling along! I'm a little disappointed that my weight loss is going so slow. I guess I thought it would be easier than it has been - but it's still work! Measuring food, logging, keeping up with calorie count, not to mention EXCERCISE! For breakfast, I had cereal - I thought, JUST a bowl of cereal, right? Turned out to be almost 400 calories!! - because I added a few pieces of cashews! So that was not worth the calories! I tried the Wendy's chili yesterday - that was really good! Got a small, and ate lunch and dinner with it. I'm starting to eat more, and that's not good I guess, but I still am not up to 1200 calories. I feel like I'm cheating since I can eat more than 300 or so calories now! Since I'm eating more food, I'm having trouble getting in all the whey protein. How much are y'all getting in? I'm barely getting in 60g, and that's when I really try! Are y'all starting to eat more food now? I have not had any trouble (knock on wood!) with any foods, and that kinda scares me. I know I will have to work really hard on this and pray I will be successful. I'm scared that it will be just like before surgery and I'll still have any eating problem! Y'all keep posting, I need y'all - I know I'll have to have lots of support! Hugs!

Topic: RE: Sharing
Hi, there! I hear ya on getting the protein in. A lot has happened over this past week, and with very little food/water/vitamin intake, I feel so weak and yucky. Heading to the deli over lunch to pick up some meat and cheese to munch on here at my desk.
Hubby wants to take me clothes shopping this weekend since my clothes are too baggy these days. I think he has visions of mall shopping - what a waste to spend all that money on clothes that will only fit me for a few months!
The snow has been melting here in Minnesota, so there's more hope for getting out and walking.
I'm down 30 pounds since the day of surgery.
Mall walking is a good idea; not sure why I don't get out and do that! :) Thanks for mentioning it!

Hi! I'm new to this forum. I had my surgery on 1/25 and got my period a couple of days ago. It was very heavy I wonder if the surgery or new way of eating is affecting it. I'm glad you posted about it because I was wondering if it was just me. Good Luck! Diane

Well my prayers are with you !! I know we can all do it but like you I have been struggling with food,vitamins , and water !!! OH and let me not forget EXERCISE !!! My husband is a truck driver he had been home but three weeks ago went back over the road so I have been dealing with post surgery, being alone , doing everything by myself and guess how I dealt with everything before surgery !!!! You guessed it food especially desserts !!! I am losing but sometimes when I look at others profiles I feel like I am not doing as well as some.. But a loss is a loss no matter how big it is !!!! SO here ya go <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>> there is your kick in the butt but I definitly need one too so feel free to send one back LOL I wish you luck and like I said my prayers are with you and I will try to check in more to see how you are doing !!!!

Topic: How are u doing?
I so hoped this forum would of stayed active so we could support each other. I see a few are still here, my PC had a virus but it is all working now so i'll be here!
How are u all doing? Any WOW's or things u need help with?
I so need to take my Vitamins and get in my Protein and work out! I am so slacking and I need serious prayers and kicks in the butt! No major WOW's but I fit my Moms 3x Macy's Liz Claiborne top where i was a 30/32 Avenue top just b4 surgery and u know the weight restrictions on the stockings package I actually fell within the recommended weight and was atleast 25lbs less than the highest weight.
My skin is breaking out maybe from the non vitamin taken which I have taken them today! I had a period this month that drove me CRAZY! I forgot how my real periods could be been so long to have a normal one. TMI sorry.
Well January folk I look forward to reading more from you all!

Topic: RE: Whatcha Eatin?
I was craving pickles a few weeks out and I did drink some of the juice! I was worried about an ulcer but it was what I wanted. I did start my period 3 days later so I assumed I was craving salty stuff!!!
Weird!
Weird!

Try Isopure as a replacement to some of your water - each bottle has about 50 grams of protein and it tastes like gatorade.
