YES .... Oh YES. My stomach makes all kinds noises - gurgles and its very loud....I am not sure what is happening. One of my friends says that perhaps its because the majority of what I am taking in is liquids. When you find out what is happening with us - please let me know. Meanwhile, I will mention this to Dr. Schroder my surgeon here in Richmond, VA. Meanwhile, is anyone always COLD! I use to sweat a lot and now I stay cold. My hands and my feet ... I keep on sweats around the house. Now that I am a size 6 from a size 5x - its interesting the transitions that I am going through. Well, stay connected - I need all the support and empathy I can get. Melanie (Synergy)

when i had my 9 month check up the nutrish had me do a machine (breath into it for 10 mins nothing to eat or drink for aleast 8 hurs) it told her how many calories i could eat a day. it turns out 1800 cal to maintain 156.5 lbs and if i want ot lose more weight only eat 1400.. I was very surprized by that. but I usually eat 1200 that what i have caluated..and I dont seem to lose weight fast just steady. some months i dont lose any other i do. but very happy at what i have done

How many calories are you taking in /day average? I'm taking in 1200 but I wonder if I should be closer to 1000? How many Carbs?

I think alot of us have all been there, I dont think your sabotaging your weight loss. your just trying different things to see if they agree with you. That is what I tell myself when I am trying things I know I should not. I love chips always have and this weekend I paid the price for those chips.. I gained 2lbs. I have tried other things too. I just try not to have them around me i tell my hubby to take the chips with him. the worst time of the day for me is evening. I start snacking looking around see what i can grab. I keep fruit in house, apple sause, cheese. Dont beat yourself up just get back on track. you know what to do. I tell myself I tried it i like it dont eat it again. I am very lactose. I wish the protein drinks filled me up but they dont. I do them but i dont get full. I know i can eat more than I should so I keep track in my head about how many calories i have. I should write it down. The Nutrish told me I can have 1800 calories a day to maintain 156.5,, to lose eat 1400. Please dont beat yourself up. just come talk with us Barb

I am right there with you Heidi... I gained a pound this week too... it sucks but that is life. HUGS Susan
