Hey, Ben - we all have bad days. We are human. Just get back on the train and ride it out. I say that sitting here stuffing myself on tilapia. Now, good for me yes but I'm eating too much. It's so good and it won't be good in another hour! Tuesday: B - protein drink S - diet hot cocoa L - 5 tortilla chips, one bite of chicken wrap, cookie S - cheese stick, 6 soy chips S - granola, D - 6 saltines, 1 TB peanut butter, 1 cup brocolli w/cheese sauce Water - 75 oz Vits - done exercise - 2 laps around pond alcohol - n/a

I loved pasta!!!!!!! Yah not so much anymore I find that I don't even want it. DH hates that because he is a BIG pasta lover and well I don't want anything to do with it. I have found that I love salad w/chicken or fish on it now. I NEVER liked fish before sugary. I could eat that everyday! Can't say I have tried pizza yet from some reason I just don't want too! I have found that there are a lot of thing I ate before sugary that I just don't have a taste for anymore!

Make sure you're eating enough calories during the day. We've been conditioned our entire lives to eat less to lose weight. The reality of the surgery for many is that you really want to focus on getting in your protein and making sure your calories are at least 1200 per day. That along with the water and exercise may help keep major stalls at bay. In reading Nancy's post from last week about not wanting to eat anything I can certainly identify with that. I've gone from a major meal planner to not really caring what I eat because nothing is particularly tasting good right now. Challenges me to be creative and try new combinations and spices (last night leftover pork sliced into small bites tossed with peppers and onions, black beans, and some low fat alfredo sauce. Doesn't look good when I type it, but did the trick.). Also, try to weigh no more than once a week. You didn't lose two pounds because you were "good" and didn't gain two because you were "bad". Kim said it best. Our bodies are adjusting. Keep working the program. We'll all get there. -Daniel

Jennifer I've been having stalls since month 2. I will go two weeks without losing, then the third and fourth week I will lose around 10 lbs. Now the last month I have been going about 3 weeks without losing and then losing about 8 - 10 lbs in one week. I've gained 2 1/2 lbs in the last week. I'm hoping and praying it will just be a stall again. Dr. B said we are going to have stalls and that there is no way we are not going to lose the weight. some are just slower and some are faster than others. Good luck and keep up the good work. G

French Fries... I loved me some french fries! Now I find they dont taste as good and something with the texture doesnt agree with my pouch all that well. Also anything over fried... like chinese food chicken.... something again with the texture (and dryness) doesnt agree with me. As for pizza... I still love that!
