There's got to be a ton of us from Forest Park

I was sleeved Oct 23. Now that I'm on soft food I go every day or two. Try Miralax. It's gentle and one dose worked for me. Also be sure you are getting enough liquids.

I hope all the October sleevers are doing well.I went through a horrible stall while on full liquids. I guess my body was in starvation mode because since I started soft foods on Nov. 13, my weight has started dropping again. I absolutely love to have real food again. The hardest part is that the pull of emotional eating is back. Last night I had a lot on my mind, and my first thought was to grab a snack. Luckily I recognized it and got water instead, but I think it's right in saying that this is no easy journey. Anyone have any tips for staying focused?

Didn't they close that place? Maybe not the best option.

What about The evening of Sat. Dec 1? Any location suggestions? Pamela

Melinda you are close to me. I live in Wylie.

You will do a series of exercises designed to keep you heart rate up. For example you might do 5-10 of running then 5-10 of jumping jacks etc. the variety will help you loose weight. Good luck. I hope to attend boot camp as soon as I am released to walk.

I'm praying for you.

Miralax is wonderful and gentle. It only took me one dose and I went the next day.

I've been in a stall for a week. When I went to the NUT and she said I am way under my protein/water amounts. I'm on week 3. Up my protein to 60. Water to 40ish but working to get to 64 oz. I hope this will help. Already noticed that my dry mouth and headaches have gone away.

My mom gave me her Ninja. So you put your veggies in it? How does it taste? Any good recipes? I am on full liquids right now, so I am not sure if I am allowed to have that, but maybe when I move to soft food.

I spoke with my hubby, who had about a year ago. He said that the stall is normal, but to be sure that I get in my walking, Protein and Water. Today I walked 1.5 miles. I also went to Sprouts grocery store and bought unflavored protein to add in my Soup. Just these little changes and I am down 1 pound, so I am going to try to stick with it and see where it goes. My husband uses a Protein powder with 35 grams of protein in 1 scoup. It's called Nu-tek 5. He loves the chocolate flavor but I cannot stand it. http://nuteknutrition.com/ May have to try it though if I can get all that I need for the day with just two scoops. Best of luck everyone.

I just logged my food in MFP. It was less than I thought. 194 calories and I burn 200 walking.

I'm 13 days out too. I probably get 300-400 calories now that I am on full liquids. I noticed that my weight has stalled since I've been eating Soups, which is freaking me out. I was losing 2 pounds a day (week 1), then 1 pound a day and now I've lost and gained the same 1 pound for the last 3 days. How is your progress?

Sounds good. Maybe a few more people will respond than we can meet this month. Would be cool if there was a juice bar somewhere.

Does anyone use a juicer? Wondering if I should get that too.

I understand. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and my mouth tastes like Crystal Light. So happy to be on full liquids so I can have a variety.

I bought one for $20. Haven't used it for the shakes but it's coming in handy for weeks 2-3 for full liquids (I'm blending soups).
