I saw your post the other day and have been looking for your south beach diet wraps since...where do you find them?  What section of the grocery store are they in??  I'd like to try one of those and see how they are!

Try lots and lots of water, get the protein in that you need, and change the types of food around that you've been eating to shock your body into losing again.  Great job on moving and exercising!  You're an encouragement to others! 

Have you tried measuring to see how many inches you've lost?

Nov 19th for me...stalled since before christmas ..but it is starting to break now...I have lost only 22 pounds since the surgery... Chin up though...We have no choice but to believe this will pass!  

I lost a lot pre surgery so am trying to convince myself that is why the stall is so bad,,,but whatever...I guess this haoppens to everybody...I just can't remember reading about it so much until now... 

Let's hope we all get going again real soon...

Some IV Fluids and Some IV Vitamins. I was in the hospital since Tuesday when I had my second stricture fixed (this time it was almost completely closed and Dr. Garth said he had a hard time getting the balloon to go in it was that tight) and then I developed a fever afterwards and now they are saying I might have the flu so nothing to eat really just looking forward to feeling better.


151lbs lost since surgery.  36lbs pre-surgery !
Total today is = 187lbs lost !!!

Yesterday seemed a little weird to me food wise ...

B -  1/2 cup Trader Joe's greek style strawberry yogurt
L - 1/2 turkey burger patty with pepper jack, 3 pickles and a little tomato and lettuce
D - 1 oz pastrami heated up with melted havarti and placed on 2 saltine crackers 1/4 cup of salad with a little ranch (I only ate a bite of it)
Desert - 1/2 cup toffee nut wow cow frozen yogurt
after dinner snack (I was low on protein so I had to add a evening snack, which I hate) Edamame and string cheese

2 bottles of water (bad bad bad)
all vitamins

The good news is I'm back on track with water for today ... YAY ME!

Topic: RE: Everyone's losing so much...how did you...

I have found through the years that carbs are not my friend.  Let me be clear.  I can eat all the carbs from veggie sources I want and I am fine.  But, things like potatoes and "white"foods and fruit, stop my weight loss and add pounds to me.

For me, if I followed your surgon's program I would not lose or lose very little.

I know that I get under 20 carbs a day, and those are coming from cheese and veggies mostly.

There are rare occasions that I will get carbs from maranara sauce or some other dipping sauce I use to moisten my food. 

Tonight I am going to "splurge" by making pizza on low carb tortillias.  A whole tortilla has 8 carbs and I doubt seriously that I will be able to eat a whole "pizza".

I am very happy with the way I am instructed to eat, not much to count. I don't have to stress over food. Now water, that's another story!
