I went to see my surgeon today. My appointment went well. The nurse was eating pumpkin seeds. She asked me if I wanted to taste them. OMG, they were great. I asked her where she got them from. She said a farmers market close to where she lived. She said that she was told a place called Eats had them here in Blacksburg. Its an organic store. So, when I got back home I went there. Low in the hole, they had them. I know that there are 8grams of protein in 1/4 cup. I also know the carbs were low as well as the calories. I did not write the specific numbers. Just in case anyone wanted to try them. Melissa

I went to the doctor last week, I was down 72 lbs! But the doc said to go back to: "eat 2 oz, not over! If your still hungry drink a protein shake." I was very confused, when I met with the Nut. she said not to eat more than 3/4c, and not to drink after the meal. Doctor said A protein shake is ok, but no glass' of water. The protein is thicker but I was just wondering if anyone else has been told to cut back so drastically? Doc says it is very easy to slip back into old habbits.

oops 822+118=940

822 + 82 = 904

I have really slowed down since I cleared that 100lb mark. Can't complain because I have still lost 6 more pounds. What I can not understand and if any one can break it down in kindergarten terms please do. How can we go into a stall not drop a pound and still loose inches????????? I can not understand how this happens or exactly what is happening. I tried on a pair of Lee 18 jeans that I couldn't even bring the zipper teeth close to each other. Last night I got them zipped. I couldn't breath or walk but they were closed. I haven't really dropped that much JUST the 6lbs in the last few weeks. So can any one tell me how can you not loose weight but loose inches??? Thanks PK
