Topic: RE: I weigh myself EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
LOL -it's like a dang drug isn't it........if you lose, then you get your fix for the day and if you don't or it shows a little higher, you just get off the scales, shrug your shoulders and say.....WATER!! LMAO!! and then say 'I'll go take a dump" and try again. Crazy huh. My fear is that if I don't weigh myself everyday, then I'll miss when I actually do lose a couple of pounds before I hit the upper numbers again. Headgames!!
Topic: RE: I'm having a BLAH moment...
I have blah days to, a week or so even. I havent' weighed myself in a couple weeks, because the last time I did, I was really dissappointed, I had only lost 1 lb in 2 weeks. This stage is hard I think. We are so impatient, and want it to be next year now. We are still figuring out exactly how to manage all of this, and it is difficult. I am glad I am not alone, because sometimes I feel like a whiner on my DS board.

Topic: RE: I'm having a BLAH moment...
I stall too....all of the time. When I look over my weight loss, I find that I only lose a total of around 10-15 lbs every few weeks. I guess that's just how it goes. I find that my clothes are looser and when I look in the mirror, all I see is skin (YUCK!). I know what I need to do, but just getting to do them is the struggle. I exercise maybe once a week, and I know that is not enough. I AM seeing that things are different. I can't eat the same things I could just a month ago, like rice or pasta. They feel like they blow up in my pouch and I feel sick for the whole day. Just stick with it (like you have a choice ) and you will be alright. I get those days of blah too......

Topic: RE: I feel almost lost??
Thanks all i do realize with out this surgery i never would have lost as much as I have in such a short time, it can take people over a year to loose what i have in a little over 3 months so i am just gonna keep on trucking. It will start again soon i have upped my protien and such. I know i need to do more excercise to and i dont' seem to have time to fit it in and no money for a gym so gonna have to figure it out somehow! I need to start collecting all the hair i am loosing and make my self a wig LMAO!
Topic: Protein Hot chocolate
Ok so it is kind of cool here lately and i thought i want hot cocoa. So i came up with protein hot cocoa and it turned out pretty good i was surpirsed.
6 oz skim milk or 8 oz and no water
2 oz water
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (i have body fortress right now)
2 tbsp of sugar free swiss mocha international coffee mix
2 tbsp splenda
i mix it all up with my stick mixer until well blended then put it in a microwave safe mug and warm for 1 min 30sec depending on how hot you want it. Turns out good you can of course tweek it to your liking or add suggestions for me to try lol!
If you use the fuill 8 oz of milk then you get 34 grams of protein if you use 6oz then it is 32 either way great way to start the day! I want to get some chocolate truffle syntrax that would be delish but havn't had the extra funds right now!
Ok thought i would share maybe someone else will like it.
Have a good day all!

I hear you! I only lose weight while IN my period which is odd! I feel the same as you a lot. I don't lose weight as fast of the other people on here. So I get myself down and discouraged. I also get the worst case of self doubt because of all the things you mentioned above. It's so easy to fall back on old habits. I think that no matter what you do in the first year you are going to lose weight with RNY. It's the years after we have to worry about because our bodies can learn to absorb fat again the way it used to after the first year. They re-routed us so that we can't absorb fat like we used to FOR NOW. Our weightloss might hit plateaus but we have to be patient. I am behind everyone else in the process. I still haven't reached 50lbs and I had my surgery 7/14! I started out at a lesser weight though, and I keep being told that this is why I don't lose it as fast as the others. I always find it funny saying lesser weight because 242 lbs to me is not considered a "light weight" but in the world of WLS I guess they look at it this way. I am really grateful to see someone else is experiencing some of the same feelings I am. We will do this! We didn't go through all this for fun! And looking at your stats you are doing GREAT! I am proud of you and you are headed in the right direction. Chin up! We are sisters on the Losers Bench! Woot!

Topic: RE: I weigh myself EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
I weigh myself everyday when I wake up after I pee in my hubby's t shirt and panties. Nothing else. I do it everyday and somedays it makes me crazy but I would rather be disappointed a little bit everyday than wait an entire week and still see no loss. That would put me over the edge. I don't completely freak out if the scale is up a bit because I know it is mathamatically impossible for me to actually gain weight at this time. But it's no fun when it doesn't move. I have a calender and every morning I write my weight down. I lose for 2-3 weeks then stall out. I think I am in a bit of a stall. Oh well, it will all work out in the end! We just have to keep doing what we are doing.
