oj so I have been really sick this past week secondary to stress(it is not WLS related) I am still losing but I am having major guilt issues because I have missed my protein mark 3x's in about 8days. how awful is that for my system? Any helpful hints? I never realized how badly I shut down when one of my children are in crisis. My mind seems totally off my goals and fixated on the giant matter at hand. Please pass the wisdom

thanks guys. I am trying but with the issues my oldest has he does NOT have the skills to figure it out himself. He will be with us majority of his life if not forever. It is awful to deal with this stuff. Thanks for the boost I hit goal yesterday for protein and am intending to repeat today. Its just hard to make goal when stress is so heavy the desire to eat is missing. o well its all up to the man upstairs now!

so kinda feeling defeated lately. the weight is slowly coming off, I have not yet seen the results everyone raves about. I am working out staying the same and have SO much crud going on in my home life that I feel helpless and exhausted. I thought (somewhere in my wild mind) that this was gonna help and Id be happier but I think im goin the wrong direction. anybody else experience defeat post op at some point

I am def getting in my water (70 oz) minimum a day and protein up at 65_70 on average. I am almost 4 wks post op and only down 22lbs

Ok so ive read all the posts about stalls and getting in protein but I still feel pretty lost. I can never quite get to my 60g protein and Ive been stalled for a week and my weight keeps fluxuating 5 lbs up and down. I am super frustrated and it is actually really upsetting me. Im almost a month out and only down 20 lbs. I feel very lost and outta control. I walk everyday and have a pretty strenous job...thoughts,ideas,help!

VJ I am not starting with a low BMI or a lower weight I went in for surg at 272# and am now 252. I am super stressed about this. Yes my work clothes look better but I measured today and i've only lost an inch! I guess its complaining, but I am just so frustrated

How awesome! Keep up the incredible work. You are doing great

Happy Easter or Passover to all you sleevers out there. I am not tempted by candy at all but if any of you are...remember...we got this!

Thanks everyone. I love all your support. I am thankful for all the wisdom

Not only am I stalled but as of 2 mins ago I gained a pound. Im about 3 and a half weeks out. Im so upset by this. Has this happened to anyone else.

I am in my 3rd week and I have hit the stall you all speak of. I am very upset. Any words of wisdom to help me over this bump?

Silly but still need some help. Can I add cheese(low fat mozz) to my egg? And is ff sour cream(about a tbsp) ok with ff refried beans

My NUT actualky suggested them. they were super yummy. I didnt make my protein goal today tho but I ordered the unjury so hopefully I will fix my downfall. I have finished my day with 49 g protein. I swear im trying.

I need some help. I was advanced to stage 2 diet(aka "mush"). I can not even get in 1/4 c. Of anything...suggestions? Also I cant even get a whole protein shake in. help(i'm gonna be vain for a second) im afraid my hair will fall out

I had my surgery on a mon and returned to work the following tuesday. Its been hard since 2x a wk I do doubles and I am not allowed to sit at my job but I think its been motivating. It has def helped me get out of my slump I felt post op and my kids are better off. When I was home it was throwing their routine.

Thanks. Im heading to my comp now. You guys are great

Thanks guys! Dooter where can I find tge unjury?

My pain def is not BM related. I see my surgeon tomorrow. He will fix me...lol. I think it was actually from the lovenox injections. I called and they let me stop them today because if how broken out and majorly bruised my belly is.

Thanks for the support. I am thinking Ill be ok. Back in the swing of life so its coming

So besides having awful low abdominal pain in the morning. Here I am back to work back to my students and what I love. Maybe this will help beat the mini depression I am falling into again. Its gonna be a good day with a new life and a better me! Ding round one lets go

I am a lil over a week post op. Im good on the clear liquids and getting in my protein what I can not handle is evey morning when I wake up I have awful pain in my lower abdomen. Today I cried and made my husband help get me up! Any thoughts on combating that awful feeling?

Ok so my mind is working in overdrive today due to hecticness. Few odd things I've been wondering as I mill through laundry and kids stuff...will I ever be allowed pickles, hot chocolate, pizza, and even the occasional mac and cheese(i only do homemade with ricotta, cheddar, mozz and muenster for a smokey bite) again? I know thats odd but I figured u guys are the experts compared to me at only a week out?

Thanks everybody. I just read a recipe for caulifloer crust pizza...sounds good and that is prob how that will be done as my kids love veggies. I will wait for goal but that wont be for a year or so im sure. Ive got a way to go but ill take that im down 13 lbs and out only a full week. I guess thats good right?!? Thanks everybody.
