Topic: RE: Can all June 18th people clock in.
Whats up girl friend!  I haven't had much problems at all either, but I did drink while I ate once and had to make myself throw up...that sucked!  I am down 37 lbs as of today!  I just went through a stall for 1 week...I cut out the carbs and increased my protein intake (through food) and it started falling off again, thank God!  I thought I was a failure or something because of that stall, but I assume it happens to everyone...I get most of my protein through food now, and I drink the EAS protein drink with 17 g of protein as well, just to get in protein without having to eat at times...I also eat the salads from Subway...you can make any sub into a salad...just no bread!  Isn't that lovely?!  I use honey mustard and "lite" mayo in it...I am going to start strength training to day..I have my 2 month post op appt on Aug 17th...and I feel awesome!  I hope everything is going good for you as well!  Tell me how everything is going, and if you need help Im here!

Topic: RE: I need help...survey the group
My scale is also starting to move downwards. I knew about stalls in weight loss I just never thought they would come this early. I wish they had told me. I really thought that I was the only person surgery was not going to help. I hope everyone is doing well and keep up the good work. I also think we shouldn't weigh oursleves so often.

I didn't have the sleeve, but I had RNY bypass on June 16th.  I've had ZERO problems.  Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.  I am down exactly 45 lbs so far.  My biggest problem is I just don't feel like eating all time.  I only do it to get the protein in, otherwise I could probably go without eating at all.

Topic: RE: Breakfast
I am sooooooooooo glad to hear that I'm not the only one tired of eggs!

I feel like I have been complaining so much but I am really grateful to lose this weight.
There's has to be something else that's loaded with protein for breakfast.  Please let me know?
I am five weeks post op and have tried a few things but find that my taste buds have changed and my poor sleeve does not like much.
I love making my own spaghetti sauce and still love cheese.  I just need to stay away from cheese for a while.  I figure twice a week is good for cheese.

I had my sleeve done on June 18th and I need to hear from people who had surgery on that day or close.
Can you post how you are doing, and what problems you have ran into after surgery.

I know it has been a while since I posted here, I just need to here from people who are with me.

Topic: RE: June 16th Surgeries - Check in
OK, I had my surgery 6/17 but REALLY wanted to check in with someone :^) 

Eggs are way too hard (though tonight i am going to try egg salad - see if that is better) I mostly have protein drinks, cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit, mozzarella cheese, tofu/soups - I eat like a vegetarian as I can't handle meat.  i do have some fish though.

I have lost 27.5.....and I worry i am slowing down on my weight loss (will this weight obsession ever end? Oy!)...but I can see we 3 are all close so I guess i am in the normal range.

I can eat about a third of a cup of most things - but i did discover wet mozzarella goes down easily - and I had a few backed lays chips with it and wham! I was eating too much....so have to stay away from that.

Other than that, my pouch is keeping me at 400 to 600 calories a day. Sometimes less sometimes more. And I feel good - except when I try solid food. So waiting on most of that.

Thanks for the trip about the patties - they sound good!

Topic: RE: Anyone else in a funk?
I hope things get better for you too.   My husband and my family have always been at odds... so I will always have a strained relationship with them.  My husbands family...well they are just another culture.  And sometimes that clashes as well.  Plus most don't speak english and live very far away.  Although they are most of the time nice.  It's really just us and the kids...and that gets so tiring sometimes.  I envy my friends who can drop their kids off at the grandparents so they can have some time.  I will never have that...

I like the Vanilla Body Fortress protein powder, I got it at Walmart.  Its so versitile you can add things to it to change the taste.  I also use it in my coffee.
