CONGRATS TWINNIE!! I want to know the plateau buster diet..I've heard there are a couple out there.

Hi there Twinnie...check on Jen's profile...she is on day 8 and is doing it...I have requesed her to write it up on the board again...I know it by heart...check out my molder posts...it gives an override of it....we will be in San Diego next Tuesday if all goes well with Gus's surgery...to visit him....at Scripps Hospital...so maybe we can hook up... Dennis

So proud of you Dennis! I knew it would work!! I weighed in at 182 this morning, which is down another pound. I did lots of liquids yesterday (unfortunately about 24 oz. of it was Lite Beer!) I did Turkey Pastrami for my snack in the morning & low fat cheese & also more cheese & Roasted peanuts in the afternoon. I ate cantaloupe (imagine that) for lunch yesterday. For dinner I ate a very small amount of Caldo De Res soup. Got a little bit of the meat hung & it was over for me! This morning I have had 3 pieces of bacon, 40 ounces of hot tea & all my vitamins. But I'm going to join friends for Mexican food at lunch, so the carb monster will be there!! I may do taco salad without the shell! Keep up the good work & thanks for the support Dennis!! Hugz, Gina L (with a new face)

hmmmm LIGHT BEER...NOT ON THE PLATEAU BUSTER DIET...but if it works for you...go for it...I am afraid to try it as it has bubbles and I am worried it will stretch the new tummmmmmyyyyyyyy... good luck...and your face is beautiful... Dennis

OK, I'M TRYING TO KEEP MY HEAD UP ... WOKE UP THIS MORNING & HAVE RETAINED FLUIDS FOR THE 1st TIME SINCE WLSurgery ... MY EYES ARE SO PUFFY IT LOOKS LIKE I'VE BEEN ON A 2-WEEK BINGE, & MY HANDS & FEET FEEL SWOLLEN. DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT ... STILL 214. TOOK ALL SUPPLEMENTS FLUIDS = 66.00 OUNCES PROTEIN DRINK = 40 GRAMS PROTEIN IN EGGS, TUNA, PEANUT BUTTER & SHRIMP BIKE = 15 MINUTES (JUST STARTED EXERCISING) AFTER STRUGGLING FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS WITH NO/SLOW WEIGHT LOSS, I'M DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST ... BUT, I'M GONNA STICK WITH THIS. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

I just read your profile and you and I have lost exactly the same amount of weight, I had my surgery a week before you did. I have been going through the same stalls as you have and am hoping the best on this plateau buster diet. Good luck, Gail

NOT THAT I WOULD EVER WANT ANYONE TO GO THROUGH THESE SEEMINGLY UNENDING STALLS, BUT IT DOES FEEL "GOOD" THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. I POST ON ANOTHER BOARD & IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY WHO HAVE EITHER LOST 100 #s OR HIT ONDERLAND ... &, I JUST HAVE MY CHIN ON THE FLOOR. NOT GIVING UP ... YEP, I'M GONNA STICK WITH THE PLATEAU BUSTER EATING PLAN AS WELL. HOPE YOU READ MY PROFILE AFTER I REMOVED MY WHINING & COMPLAINING ENTRY ... SORRY IF YOU READ IT ... WAS FEELING R-E-A-L SORRY FOR MYSELF. GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP POSTING YOUR PROGRESS!!!!!!!!! DAWN & NICK

Dawn...come on girl the happy ...sometimes it takes 2-3 days to have this plan kick in...you will do it...read my post...as far as numbers go I am an oldie but a goodie......and I think my age is a factor as metabolism is slower ...as long as this scale keeps going down...hey......can't beat that...also my doctor said between 12-18 months.... so I have lost 60Percent of my weight in less then 6 months...come on Dawn you can do this.... Dennis

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MR DENNIS ... YUP, I'M OLDER AS WELL, BUT MY DOCTOR HAS BEEN PUSHING THE 6 MONTH THING ... 100 #s BY 6 MONTHS OR IT GETS REALLY, REALLY HARD, HE SAYS. WELL, IT'S BEEN A BEAR FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS ... I STARTED MAJOR STALLS BY MY 12th WEEK & THEY HAVEN'T QUIT SOOOOOOOOOOO I'M JUST A LITTLE WEARY RIGHT NOW AS I'M IN WEEK 21-22. I DID REALLY, REALLY GOOD THE 1st 12 WEEKS, THEN IT'S FELT LIKE THE STRUGGLES I USED TO GO THROUGH PRE-SURGERY SO I JUST WASN'T EXPECTING THE STRUGGLES TO COME SO QUICKLY & FOR SO LONG. I KNOW IT WILL BUST WIDE OPEN SOON & OFF I'LL GO AGAIN LOSING REGULARLY. I'VE LOST 47% OF MY SURGEON'S GOAL & 43% OF MY IDEAL GOAL WEIGHT. I'M NOT GIVING UP ... I'M STICKING WITH THIS EATING PLAN & WITH THE WHOLE WLS THING AFTER THAT. I'LL BE DOING THE HAPPY DANCE BY TOMORROW FOR SURE. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE PEP TALK!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
