    Wonton Wrappers

    I liked lasagna ones but I LOVED the taco ones! Throw a little FF sour cream & salsa on it & it's delicious. Ooh! And a little Avacado. Yum!

    May Sleevers! How Are You Doing!?

    Thanks y'all! I've got almost 100 pounds still to get to goal but, wow! This feels great. At this point I'm blowing out of clothes really quick. I know that it's about to get SUPER hard.

    May Sleevers! How Are You Doing!?

    May 18th: went into surgery @ 288 Down to 241 today. -47 pounds. Size 18. Pre-surgery diet dropped 50 pounds. Started at 338 & size 30. Down 97 pounds & 6 sizes. I work out 5 days a week.
  8. I started lifting & exercising 5 months before my surgery. I lost 50 pounds Pre op. I exercised 5 days a week for about an hour & a half. 30-45 minutes on elliptical or treadmill & 45 minutes on weights. I do low weights with lots of repetition so I don't build bulk, just toning. I bounced back quickly after surgery. Walked at the hospital every hour (when I woke up to pee) & kept walking when I got home. I struggled a week after I got home cuz I couldn't walk far without getting exhausted. After 6 weeks my doctor cleared me to go back to my regular exercise program. I'm down 47 pounds since surgery. Date: 5-18-12. So, 97 pounds total. And down 6 sizes in clothes. :-)

    Have you guys tried these? The Flat Out sliders are perfect serving sizes for us.

    Coffee Protein Drink

    I use 1 vanilla Protein shake scoop, Splenda, sugar free French vanilla creamer & a half a package of Starbucks via. I mix with 6 oz of Water in a Blender Bottle. Shake shake shake & add ice. Delicious!! This is my favorite recipe so far.
  12. I need advice. I think I'm losing my mind! I've been stuck for going on 5 weeks now. I've checked the other stall threads & tried everything that I've seen. Sleeve date: 5-18-12 I lost 20 pounds in the first two weeks. Plateaued for 2 weeks. Scales has been up & down a pound or two at a time. Finally managed to move 15 more pounds. Plateaued again at 6 weeks out. Now 5 weeks on another plateau. So, to recap, I'm now 10 weeks out at 35 pounds lost. I keep trying to convince myself that more is going to come off but I'm terrified that I will be stuck at 249 (251) forever. Nothing I do seems to help. More calories, less calories, more protein, less protein, more exercise or less. I've also tried more & less carbs, and increasing water. I tried the 5 day pouch test & Little Miss Diva's boot camp. Still nothing. Just the same up & down. PS: I lost 50 pounds Pre-op. So total, I'm down 85 pounds. My thyroid has been checked & it's normal. I'm eating 600-800 calories (increased to 1200 once at doctors suggestion), carbs 15-40, low fat, 70-100 protein & 8-10 glasses of water. Someone please help me, I'm getting desperate. :-(

    Emilybites Cheeseburger And Lasagna Cupcakes

    The wontons I buy are Nasoya & have 31 carbs in 8 wrappers which is 3.875 in one. I usually use one wrap per cupcake & can only eat one cupcake at a time.

    Spicy Food!

    I haven't been tolerating spicy food but Hot & Sour doesn't bother me! So, yeah, me!! :-)
  19. I stalled too & scale wouldn't move for 6 weeks. People kept saying I looked smaller. I actually went down a size but the scale didn't move. You keep on keeping on Little Engine! You GOT this!!

    Cauliflower Crust Hawaiian Pizza From Recipegirl.com

    I'm not sure. I think frozen would work cuz its smooshy when you make the crust but never tried it.

    Anyone Try Liquid Protein?

    When I struggle to get Protein in, I choke down a half a tube of these. They sell them at Wal Mart. I only do 1/2 cuz your body can not process more than 30 protein at a time. Any extra I passed out of the body. They are sour, but small so it's easier to get down. Watch the other brands cuz they can have less protein & you will have to drink the whole shot to get the same content as 1/2 a New whey.

    Medication

    When I take too many types of meds too close together, my body feels like its dumping & I get really sick. I've thrown up twice from that. I would do as suggested ^^ and take them farther apart.
