How are you doing??

This board has gotten very lonely...where are you?? What have you been up to?? How have you been feeling?? How much have you lost?

Hi..I've been very busy with getting ready for work tomorrow...everyone expects me to return skinny but I've only lost like 17lbs and you can't even tell....so I'm a little nervous.. I'm eating real food finally...but I really don't care much for food...I eat because I have to...I finally found a way I like my protein, I bought fat/sugar free yogurt and mixed it with protein delite...it is yummy!!! protein delite has little pieces of fruit so it feels like eating a regular berry yogurt. Here's the info if you want to see it.. http://www.scitecnutrition.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/2003/products/proteindelite.asp?L+scstore+jwdw4119fff393f3+1132126788 Well I miss you all... you haven't posted much... Hope to hear from all of you!! at least say HI.. Celia

That sounds yummy, thanks for the tip! I bought a lite orange mango applesauce tonight that is sugar free and I added beneprotein powder to it and that was YUMMY too. I've been so tired of eating the same foods over and over, I need some variety! I hope you have a good day at work! I go back the day after (on Thursday). Kind of looking forward to it, but I'll miss chilling out on the couch. I was starting to get into soap operas for the first time in about 10 years...hahaha.

Hey I was wondering the same thing. Where is everyone??? I am really glad you are doing good... Getting back to work tommorrow thats great. Well I am doing good. I am eating soilds now too. But it really doest interest me either. I am just eating it. I have lost 45pds so far. I havent lost anything for about 5 days now. I guess my body is trying to catch up.. I am am so glad you are doing good. Take Care Mary

Wow Mary that is INCREDIBLE!!! 45 pounds!! Congrats!!

Hi! Sorry it is so long sence I posted. I have been lurking. I like everyone else am having trouble getting in my protien and Liquids. I am back to work part time but still so weak it is unreal. Have a great day, Debra 392/345/180

I am doing quite well...feeling 92% like my old self. I have an appetite that won't stop and I am only on full liquids. At first I thought my pouch was broken but I am down 26lbs. As far as liquids and proteins...I get all my liquids in however only about half of the amount of protein I should be taking in. Keisha 260/234/160

I'm on what should be my last 3-shake day. I got to the doc tomorrow to get cleared on soft/pureed proteins. Tomorrow also happens to be my birthday, so that will be a great present! The downside is that I am 2 weeks and a day out and have lost only 10.5 - nothing in the last 3 days. I know it will happen and that I have to be patient, but I didn't think I would be what seems to be the slowest loser on this board! I don't get it, but I'm hoping things pick up because it's making me nutty! Brenda

Brenda Happy Birthday to you!! Happy Birthday to you!! Happy Birthday dear Brenda! Happy Birthday to you!!

I'm doing great. I'm still having no problems with food or liquids. I had another "naked" burrito from Qdoba for dinner tonight. I added guac again, so I'm 150 calories over my limit, and had WAY too much fat today. I'm still having my 3rd period in 5 weeks, and it shows no indication of going away. I'm still working out like a fiend 4x/week, and now I am doing 1 hr water aerobics, 1/2 mile swimming laps, 1 mile on treadmill at 3mph, and 10-15 minutes on the bike at 15-17 mph. It's taking 2-3 hrs/day, and it's starting to get easier. According to fitday.com, I'm losing about 800 calories/day from my workouts. Which is why I don't feel bad about the extra fat/cals from my guac. I'm losing weight again and have lost 6 lbs since last week which brings my total to 32 lbs gone. Pants I couldn't even get zipped, let alone snapped a month ago, are now getting big. I love it. I see the nutritionist on Thursday and have an official weigh in. I'm going to try to find really lightweight clothes! I'm weighing now in just my bathing suit before I get in the pool. Thursday is one of my workout days, so I am going to pay a daily fee and go to another Y for my workout. The hospital is about 40 miles from the Y I belong to. So, like I said....I'm doing great. However, some of my family is not. My mom had tumors on her ovaries and just had surgery to remove them and her fallopian tubes. She's not doing so great. Also, my brother, who was recently diagnosed with MS (just 2 weeks before his wedding), has lost all sight in one of his eyes (should come back in 8-9 weeks after ms episode is over) and is having painful muscle twitches, both of which are keeping him from working. When we found out about the MS, my parents thought his fiance might bolt, but she didn't, but now he told my mom all she does it criticize him for not working and everything else and the marriage is very rocky. He's putting up a brave front, but my mom thinks he's seriously depressed. His 33rd birthday is tomorrow (or rather today as it is after midnight). For all you who pray, they could really use your prayers. Thank you. Sheryl
