8 month plateau - getting BOT

I haven't lost any weight (same BMI) in 8 months.  So, in my head, I know I've lost as much as I'm going to from the surgery.  From here on out, it's all on me and the choices I make.

I talked to my NUT last week, and we agreed to go back on protein shakes, at least during the day, for the week - if a meal for dinner.  The first day was the WORST!  Of course, it was the day after the superbowl with all of the yummy snacks.  I was hungry all. day. long.  But I'm on day 3, and not feeling that crazy hunger all day anymore.  I'm also down 1.4 lbs, which is a great start.

Starting Saturday, I go back to eating "real" foods again.  The plan?  That's just it - plan, plan, plan.  I'm going to plan my meals/fluids/exercise for the week, and get back to keeping a journal of what I'm eating, exercising, and how I'm feeling.  I'm hoping it helps me look back and see what I'm doing well and what I need to improve upon on my next NUT visit...

You posted one of the key factors to success in getting back on track (and staying there).  "Plan, Plan, Plan" and that you're going to play your meals/fluids and exercise for the week and journaling.  Yea you!  

You've got the right mindset for sure.  Please keep us posted as to how it is going for you.  

Thanks, Cathy!  So far, so good...  :)

That's great!  YOU GO!
