Topic: RE: Great it sounds like I'm on track.
Yes you are on the right track. And yes i do feel the way you do. As a matter of fact I hit a stall for 3 weeks already. I was a nervous wreck..weighing every day sometimes twice a day to see if it would change. Finally it moved. I am 8 weeks post op and down 37 lbs. I am very happy with that. I do tend to eat everything...carefully with bread, I usually toast it.
I figured that I will try to get in as much protein as possible...when I started that and upped my water...the weight started to move again.
Good luck to you and God Bless

Topic: Great it sounds like I'm on track.
My surgery was on June 7th and I'm down 37lbs so after hearing from all of you it sounds like I'm on track.
Is anyone afraid because it seems like you are eating more food. Or things you wonder if you should be able to eat. I'm still scared to eat. Now I worry, that I am eating small amounts of mostly what I want, that I will quit losing weight. I'm trying new foods and than feel guilty.
I do drink lots of water. I have some trouble getting enough protein.
Topic: RE: Can I have a drink?
I was terrified to try it... but I had a shot of Vanilla Vodka today (sipped it very slowly). I drank about half and was drunk. I didn't get sick at all.
Yummy! Boy, do I miss my martinis!
