i am a slow loser as well...i am 6 weeks out and have lost 20 pounds thus far. everything you wrote, sounds a lot like me and my experience. not much i cant get down...chips and crackers go down way too easily. actually the easiest. i did have some choclate myslef when it was "that time of the month" but unlike your mini snickers i had a whole plain hersheys bar. oops, but hey, thats life. this process is frustarting, exciting and endearing all at the same time. good luck to all. i think my expectations were too high coming into this because i read so many of peoples post saying they have lost 20 pounds in the first two weeks..im like hey, what the hell, did they take out my stomach? Lol. it is what it is. and im trying my damndest!
