Challenge Roll Call

Hi all. well I havnt had a good day again. Ive hardly eaten anything so I need to go back downstairs and make a shake. This is all ive had today: B coffee and protein shake. D- small bowl cream of vegetable soup s- sf jelly. couple of cups of coffee and hardly any water. Ive been out all day , because I just had to put my mum into a nursing home and I had lots of things to do and I forgot to eat and drink, so although its 11 pm I will go and have one more shake before I go to bed. I should be the size of a skinned rabbit. Its not fair!!!!! hugs from down under Helen

STUPID ME thought I didnt need the challenge.. because my clothes sizes are going down so well... Put my butt on the scale ysterday and I have gained 5 pounds during Christmas.. Now if that aint a wake up call... Glass of milk and all my vitamins at 5:30 am 7:30 am a bacon egg and cheese it is on a crosaunt but I peel all that awaY..Lunch is an orange and dinner tonight is some taco meat.. I will start my liquids tomorrow and PRAY I can do this.. I didnt go thru this surgery to GAIN weight!!!! Maybe I just needed an eye opener.. and an attitude adjustment!!! Linda

Linda, I know where you are coming from. I gained 13 lbs before I woke up. This challenge is working great. Hang in there with us and you will see results. See you lighter. Joanne

Hi Helen, First of all let me say you have my prayers. I've been there with my mom and it is not an easy thing to do. It is very important to keep yourself hydrated especially now. Stress does crazy things to our bodies let alone bodies that have undergone gastric-bypass. Also even though you are eating very little it is understandable that you are not losing any weight. When we dont eat on a regular timetable and enough calories we go into starvation mode and our metabolism conserves and shuts down even more. It doesnt know when it will be getting food again so it decides to hold onto what it has. I know this is a tough time for you but try to keep something handy. Maybe move on to the next stage and go back to the liquid stage when your life calms down a bit. Dont let yourself get run down. You are an important part of this group. Keep your chin up and drink, drink, drink....Jackie

Helen, I know this is a hard time but try to get them calories, protein and water up. You can do this and always remember you are not alone. We are all in this journey together. Hugs to you!!!! See us all lighter. Joanne
