need help

Hi everyone, I had surgury on 2/26/04 and so far ive lost 40 pounds. But i have stopped losing. I dont know what to do. I try to get all my water in but the protein is my problem. I dont eat in the am because i get sick and somedays i eat lunch others i dont for the same reason. the only real meal i have is dinner and more often than not i get sick from that. Ive been trying the shakes but they make me sick too. so when i do eat its nothing but meat. I heard somewhere protein first and if there is room left then veggies. My husband says im the only fat anorexic in the world because i throw up so much. I just dont know what to do. how do i break this plaetue. (haha i cant spell either)

Since I am still yet to be on the losing side,, and playing the waiting game I have nothing to offer but my concern and loving thoughts. I know when I get really sick from my migrains I use peppermint oil on my wrists or temples the smell soothes my tummy you might try it??? You can find it pretty creap on line or at Bed and bath works or other places like that. I will keep you in my thoughts and on my pray list. Bekha

You're correct, protein first, then veggies, then other stuff. You won't have room for other stuff at this point. Make sure your meat is really, really moist; that will help you eat it. Also, chew a lot! If you have a wendy's close by their chilli is good for protein and taco bell pintos and cheese is a great way to get your protein in at this point. YOU HAVE TO EAT!!!! You will slow down your weight loss if you don't because you'll set yourself up to go into starvation mode and burn less calories. I use a protein called Amplify that I get at GNC that is incredible! 6 oz of water, 4 ice cubes, 1.5 scoops of power and a slug of sugar free carmel syurp. That's 30 grams of protein in one shot. it will get easier, promise!! I'm 7 months out, have lost 93 lbs and i have to tell you, month three sucked!!
