4 weeks out

Marlin, I describe it is AS a vise grip is tightening up ALSO. It is just terrible. I cannot figure it out either .. . eating too much after only 2/ 3 bites - or if it just doesn't agree. I wish I knew - I guess we will figure it out ... one day You are doing great so far. 30 pounds ! yay for Y-O-U! I to am dealing with the head hunger thing too ... it is hard! You feel full after a liitle bit but your head is saying - are you kidding me thats all?????????? I threw up 3 times total ... That is enough. I am sure the more I introduce - there is a chance i may again (I really hope not) How can you throw up 6 times after eatting only 2/3 bites ... I cannot figure that out. It seems that when the pouch is pissed it want EVERY SINGLE crumb out of there! Keep in touch, Britt

I just want to say THANK YOU for commiserating with me!! I feel a lot better now (seriously). The whole "is that ALL?????" thing is exactly what I'm dealing with. We WILL figure it out!!! Thanks again! Marilyn

No no THank you!

Britt, you are doing just wonderful! I too am at a stall and have lost the 21 lbs, I walk everyday 1 to 3 miles a day. But now that it is getting sooooo cold out, I have taken to ride the stationary bike inside. I have started soft food and I too am done at 3 o4 bite and that is it, dont want to force myself and it has been more than a half hour so I guess I will have to wait until later to try some more, keep up the good work.

Hey Chrissy! You should be so proud of yourself with your walking! Congrats on your weight loss too Britt

I will be 4 weeks tomorrow. I lost 25 pounds, but I was sick for a whole week last week, now it seems that my weight is starting to stall too. I heard that this happens, but it will pick back up in a week or two. I sure hope so. It feels like I hardly eat enough to keep a bird alive! Hope you continue to do well.

Hi Linda, I cannot wait for it to START UP again ... it is so hard watching the scale stand still! move scale !

I too am 4 weeks out today. I am down 18 pounds and figured I would be closer to 30 by now. Doctor said a pound a day but this plateau seems to be common amongst others at this same point. I am going to try eating a little less and walking a little more. I am a substitute teacher and was on my feet most of the day today, so that probably helps at least a little bit. 343/325/140

Kristina, Congrats on your weight loss. How much less can you eat? I can barely eat 2 ounces. I am not walking on a refular basis. I start the gym Monday 12/18 - I get released to exercise on 12/14. I can't wait - I know that will help.

I think I have been eating too much at one time, multiple items of 4 or 5 bites of each thing. I am going to try to drop back to one item at a time and walk more and see if that makes any difference. The first 3 weeks were easier b/c it was pureed and liquids and I knew how much at a time I could take in. With the soft foods, short of measuring everything, I don't know how much at a time to take in. Maybe I can suggest that in the nutrition classes that I had to do, they have the people make menu plans for step 3 and step 4 not just step 2. When I go back in January, I will mention that too the nutritionist. It would be interesting to get her take on the idea. 343/325/140
