Plateau Buster....who is with me?

Cyndi, the reason that I am doing this this week is just that. I had made the commitment to change my eating habits and was eating just the basics like I should but had gotten to the point over the past 5 weeks ofbeing home of eating WAY too many slider carbs and not enough protien. And doing the supplements is nothing abnormal for me. I drink 45-60 gms of protein supplements a day and that is what my surgeons plan requires. I then do cheese, eggs and other soft proteins....my pouch just does not allow for too much other stuff.....but I can eat any carb with no problem. So in total I get 60-80 grams of protein a day. So by doint the plateau buster I will remind myself not to eat them. We all have to do what is best for us!!! As for artificial sweetners I have never been able to tolerate them much that is why I can not stomach the ready to drink protein drinks. I don't like crystal light or things like that much unless I am out somewhere. I have always been able to drink tea and coffee with nothing (no sugar or sweetners). And I just prefer water with lemon or limes in it to anything flavored with a sweetner. So to me it is not restrictive it is how I should be eating.....again each is entitled to his/her own opinion and how they are handling there aftercare program. For me it is a way to get back on track. Donna

count me in... I want my scales moving again too....

Schatzi, Glad to have you join us!! It starts today! Donna

Donna, I think that's great that you found something that could really work, and I applaud all of you that will be trying this - but I just wanted to express my side, why I can't do something like this. I expect to hear great things from all of you who are trying this! Cyndi

Cyndi, I see why you would not want to try this and I thank you for sharing it with us. But that is why I had to share with you that for me it is not a gimic.....but a wake up call. We shall see hwo everyone does.....but like I said I was so bad on carbs....I am sure to have withdrawls! Donna
