Think I Can see a difference. I'm 33 lbs down including pre op diet. Photos taken day before surgery July 10 and aug 10

thanks everyone... i've been at a stall weight wise... BUT i'm starting to notice more movement clothing wise. a lot of clothing i couldnt even button is fitting.. and some pants are just wayyyy too big... so that is just fine by me I wish i had taken more measurements though vs. just photos...

i love eating... i love that i can only eat a tiny bit now.. its forcing me to be good.. .and i'm also realizing that a tiny bit of say chips.. doesnt taste as good to me as a tiny bit of steak or meat... or i like it equally.. so i'm making much better choices....

dr. kelly (loved him) did not require a deposit. I do not regret my Mexico decision a bit... i felt i got great care and it went very smoothly. I'd absolutely go back for plastics after my weight loss is all done

week 1 clear liq week 2 full liq week 3 purees week 4 soft week 5 low sugar/low carb but anything i'm week 5. yay

i tried doing a search and couldnt find much except be patient... has anyone had any luck with breaking it? I was plowing along (losing 30+ lbs including pre op) and and now have lost nothing (in fact, i've gained 2 lbs) since july 27th.. I'm starting week 5... i'm trying to drink a lot of Water but its hard.... i think i'm not getting enough because i dont have to use the bathroom very often at all... i'm trying to get as much Protein as possible..... any tips to break a stall?

all great info in here.. love love love.

Tell Omar i said HI! xoxo Joy PS GOOD SURGERY VIBES coming your way!

AHhhh! So we do pee and sweat it out then got it!

but then where does teh weight go? just vanishes? how does your body rid itself of weight?

awesome advice... love this group!

good idea.. the muscle milk and the premier shakes i got are so THICK.. i can't stand them.. but maybe mixed with decaf coffee would be yum great idea

awesome! Great job girl!

i love the advocare chocolate shakes with coffeechino... i just ordered some more. Protein shakes have made me gag but those I always liked.. 24 gm. protein... and 220 cal... (290 with coffeechinno too plus i think 30 gm protein) but I ran out.. i'll go reorder some more.. i actually look forward to drinking those.

i may try that...

oops.. hit send. about 5 bites was satisfying to me...

ive had a dq blizzard... i got a mini blizzard and shared it

Wow! That is a huge two month transformation !!! You look amazing!

I'm kinda " over" protein shakes. They are so sweet to me. Or maybe I need to mix them up A bit. Anyway. What are some other high protein foods that are not shakes?

it feels really uncomfy/painful for a few seconds (usually 2-3 times) when eating... is it because of eating too fast? or too much? I'm trying to measure my food out of a small dixie cup (usually 1/2 - 1/3) Its like a 'tightness" burning and then goes away and sometimes tightens back up. Its more in my chest than stomach and almost feels like something is "stuck" and then it just vanishes...

oh my!!!! Cant they sew you up tighter? to repair leak? i'm so sorry you are going through this.

okay.. i just tried it with a pickle.... and eat teeny bites, slowly... all good. Now i have to work on finding what my 'trigger' is for knowing when enough is enough before i take that "last bite' that tips me over from satisfied into into uncomfy full.. because its just one bite!

i'm kinda having this issue too.. and am also around 4 weeks out... *sigh* i'll watch this thread...

yes.. that is it! so its eating too much you think? dang.. it seems like i eat so little... i can take much smaller bites though... i take kinda normalish bites... and dont think i chew enough... i have to train myself....

I have ww one too. Super accurate
