I tend to go a couple of weeks without loosing anything, and then I'll drop a couple of pounds.  I'm still having a hard time getting all the protien and fluid in the same day, even though I'm a year out.  I think if I could get all my protien and drink at least 64 oz of water, I would loose more.  My goal is 140, but I've been wondering how many pounds of that is excess skin.  I also find that my seasonal allergy post nasal drip can make me very nauseated since my RNY.  Even though they are a little pricey, Metromin****er makes me feel a little better. 

I can get my protein in, but fluids are still hard for me, too.  And the excess skin is an unknown factor, too.

Hope your allergies ease up - mine have been terrible lately !!!!

I've had a phenomenal 2 weeks, with 7 lbs lost during that time -- and no clear idea why.  In fact, I had a big serving of full-sugar, homemade strawberry shortcake for Mother's Day with my family.  But by and large I am sticking to the rules (with the exception of getting enough water, which I've never seemed to be able to do).

The numbers on the scale aren't meaning as much to me right now as the fact that I am now DEFINITELY in a size 16 ... not just in some stores, but everywhere.  This has opened up a whole new world of shopping.  It both amazes me and ****** me off (as a recently former large-size shopper) to see how good women who can wear "normal" sizes have it.  Sizes 0 to 16 have SO much better selection and prices that we ever had in the large sizes, even though so much of the population wears 14 and up.

WOO HOO!!!  You are doing AMAZING Lorelei Lee!!!

I hear ya on the better selection in the regular misses dept - used to tick me off to no end when I saw the selection in the misses dept vs plus sizes - ugh.  NEVER want to go back there again !!!!

Well, there is no way I was stepping on the scales today.  I am so bloated, thanks to my monthly visitor.  Not to mention, I did eat a good amount of steak last night.  So, I will check in next week.  Good luck ladies!

Have a good week - can't blame you - see ya next Monday!
