Topic: RE: Hey
Hi, Lex! I am just over 3 months out and am expecting a stall. From what I've read on this MB, that is common. Most people have said to get back to basics, protein, water, vitamins and calcium and walk, walk, walk, to break out from a stall. Also, it's important to remember that we are all different in how our bodies shed the pounds. As long as you are loosing, even a little, you are progressing! Hang in there...it will go! Jean

Topic: RE: Hey
Hi, I am going thru the same thing right now. I started at 320 before my pre-op diet and I'm down to 253 but I lose on and off but very very slowly and I hate it. I am eating enough but not exercising enough because of my job and I too will try to improve on that. But I been saying again and again if I could have eaten right and exercised on a regular bases I would not have needed the surgery. I'm very afraid that this won't work for me at this point. I still have problems with my night eating (which I work on every single day and I can't eat as much as I did pre-op) and I still have the exercise thing but seems things are heading back to my old bad habits, help! I hate the saying that we have a tool and we have to work it as far as I'm concerned that comment comes from people that are as scared as I am because my tool is not cutting it. Thanks for your comment because it helped me to get my issue out and I hope that having someone in your shoes helps you not feel alone with regards to your setbacks. Best to you always...Pam
Topic: RE: No appetite, yet - Eating to sustain life only!
I am just like you... I dont get hungry and I dont like to eat any more. I eat because I have to not because I want to.
I have had 3 strictures so far so I dont like to eat cuz it always leads to me throwing up... LOL
I am also addicted to skim milk with ice... I drink it ALL THE TIME... I know that is where I get most of my protein.
I can only eat maybe 2 or 3 tiny bites of food at at time and I have to watch out what I eat since my pouch is very very picky... one day it stis fine then the next day blaaahhhh. I am very sensitive to oil/butter and spicey things.
I love the idea of eatting according to the outlook calendar... I need to do that too.
GOOD LUCK and congrats on your weightloss so far... you are doing awesome
