Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!  Menopause anyone?  I think as I face my 47th birthday I must accept the fact that the menopause train is beginning to stop at my station!  I'm having some slight symptoms.....one is positive and negative.  My boobs are killing me!!  Like when you are preggers.....and no, I'm not.....don't have all the equipment for that........and they have gotten fuller....which is the upside!

My doctor says it is hormones....yeay!  But at least I have cleavage again and not just shriveled raisin boobs!!

Eats today:
B1-pumplin flaxseed cereal with skim milk
B2-grilled chicken breast
S-tangerine
L-sandwich
S-Chobani
S-grapes
D-salmon and asparagus

Dessert-coffee

Exercise:  Hoping to run outside today....if the rain holds....if not, I'll be running indoors

Good ole Dr. Sherer!  I just adore him!  He is one of the few out there that do not subscribe to the protein supplements....he said "you can get what you need from food".

I'm glad you aren't going to "starve" yourself!  This progression should be good for hitting the reset button in the brain!

You can do it!!  come play with us often and we'll get you through it!

My plan is two weeks @ 800 calories daily then 2 weeks at 1000 then 1200.  My reasoning is that the first month post-op I barely consumed 500 calories a day.  I even added a protein supplement to increase calories and when I returned Dr. Sherer told me to stop the supplement's, as I progressed out I would be able to consume more calories.  So I am currently trying to reset my mind as well as shrink my pouch.  The mind is more of my battle.  I see it therefore I want to eat it...lol.

Thank you!!!

I remember when you first came to the board!  Congrats on your success!
