Topic: RE: Trouble.....trouble...trouble....
I tend to eat the SAME things day in and day out also. Babybel cheese, string cheese, cheddar cheese, cabernet soaked cheddar, chili, refried beans, thin deli meat... bleh...
I cannot tolerate any sauces like bbq sauce, at all! DUMPING GALORE! its miserable and thus without sauces, beef and chicken, no bueno.Actually 99% of the time chicken doesn't go down easily.
PROTEIN SHAKES! ICK! They ALL make me sick. Must be the whey.I'm gonna try the egg white protein shakes again, Jay Robb makes a good one, I've had it prior.I wanna see if those go down better... But they make me gag and turn my pouch big time!
Good luck to you.I'm 2 months out also! 55 lbs down! woot woot

Topic: RE: Body and Mind Not In Sync; How About Yours???
The inches are coming off me a lot faster than the pounds. I went from a size 30 and a 4x to a 22 and XXL in women's. I was so excited to fit into WOMEN'S XXL. It takes away the feminine feeling to have to buy from the mens section for t-shirts. I am down from 345 highest to 284 today, so I am really happy with that. I love seeing how my April girls are doing. Proud of us all!!! And to answer the question...YES, I have a horrible time seeing that I am smaller. I still see myself the same as before surgery and want to grab the biggest size in the store. I was a DDD too and now I can wear a C cup and I have TOTALLY lost my ass. :-( My 2 favorite things on me and they are gone...now if the tummy would just shrink! LOL.

Topic: RE: Post Suregery Updates "How are you doing?"
I'm doing well. Lost 50 lbs and about 2 sizes. My weight loss is the same as yours. I'll stay the same for 7-8 days, then drop 5 lbs. I'm finally getting all my vites and fluids. That was the biggest learning curve.
I am hoping to step up the exercising this coming week. I'm out for summer and plan on hitting the gym a couple of times a week. I'm lucky, my kids actually like the daycare and that will give me a little break in the day from them.

It is weird. I went shopping at a regular Old Navy today and looked for XXL, brought them to the fitting room and they were too big, hung down about 4 inches from my feet. I couldn't believe it because I was a XXL before and thought I would have gone down one. So I'm wearing a REGULAR XL. That is crazy, I haven't bought regular clothes in a very very long time.
I think it will take time and I think it will take a lot more time to change our minds than just our butt sizes! lol

I'm doing VERY well!.... no issues at all... stomach stitches/all healed... being 67 and having a non active corporate desk job... (I only get up from my desk to have a coffee break/etc....)... I'm not physically active.... at any rate... I can eat anything... although I haven't tried everything... I chew everything to become a mushie and can get the usualy 2/3 oz in at a time... so I'm sort of grazing... I believe I'm doing everything right.. enough water and close to 55-65 protein.. but I'm already I believe in a stall... (I promise I won't cry as I know some of your tears are for all the stalls!) enjoy those movies!

Topic: RE: Mood swings
Thank you....it's just crazy because I can be watching a movie and it doesnt have to be drama and all of a sudden, I get so caught up in it and want to cry....a commercial about saving the whales or dogs or anything!

hi Liz,
I have not personally... but then again my sugery was only 3 weeks ago and my body hasn't lost as much as you have... keep in mind you're going through a chemical change of balancing hormones also.... I'm sure this too will pass... good luck to you...

Topic: Mood swings
Is anyone else experiencing emotional mood swings? Like all of a sudden you just want to cry over something insignificant....like a commercial, movie or just in general?
I had surgery 04/09 and have lost 45 pounds and feeling great otherwise!!
