Are you taking the B-12 injection??? Are the bumps on your forehead and cheeks?? if so u may be having a reaction to too much B-12 in your body! I had the severe acne-like bumps for the injection.

Congrats to you.It sounds like your doing great.The past few weeks a number of us online have been debating the same thing are we losing enough.It seems that we all have had similar issues and stalls.It looks like we are all on track.

Sorry but I need to say this.No one else can do this except her.Its great you are helping her out but ultimately it has to be her.If she is depressed she needs to recognise that and seek help if she doesnt there is really nothing you can do.I just had my surgery on April 18th and am almost 6 weeks out.At times I have down times but I try and find things to do to keep myself busy.It sounds like your doing all the work.Its time she takes some responsibilty and this is just my opinion.
Bravo to you for supporting her but becareful there is a fineline to supporting and enabling.Good luck!
Topic: RE: NEED MENU IDEAS FOR LUNCHEON-PLEASE PLEASE!
I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of fresh Turkey Sausage from Pepridge Farms or Jennio. What I do is brown up some onions, peppers, and garlic in a little olive oil. I then remove them from the pan whn they are brown, and put the sausage in. I cook it on both sides till it is almost brown as well, and then add the veggies back in. I cover it for 5 mins and lower the heat. You can then transfer the entire thing to a tupperware container- nuke it at work, and hae a healthy and good dish that you can enjoy with the rest.
P.S.- Don't tell anyone it's turkey till they are done, they will be blown away!

I am doing well personally. I have lost over 24lbs myself, just cutting out alot of the Hamburger helper, pasta, and going out 5-6 nights a week with appetizer, entree, and dessert.
She is feeling a little better, but still thinks she 'ruined' her life, and cries whenever she thinks of good food she is missing. She is not seeking help mentally, and the nutritionist from her hospital operates like a deli counter (pardon the pun)- 30 seconds per patient and then "next". She has seen her 3x total...
I am dealing best I can with this- cooking a lot more, helping out, etc. She is just a naturally demanding person, and I hope she doesn't overly take advantage of this...

Hey everyone! I just joined this site. I had my surgery april 8, 2008 and I weighed in at 297 the day of surgery. As of this morning I weigh 259 so I am down 38lbs. I still feel like I am not losing it quick enough. But I know I need to exercise more. Still having trouble eating too quickly and the food getting stuck. I will get the hang of this sooner or later.

Ok, you must share your secret. I had surgery the same date as you and am down 28 pounds since surgery. How much did you have to lose overall, that will make a difference as well. I was worried I was losing slow, but I guess I fit along with all of you who have also lost 20 something pounds since surgery.
