I haven't eaten any kind of pastas. I only like spaghetti and rice. We eat more rice at my home than anything. Kids love mexican rice and cinnamon rice both very fattening...lol. I have a list from my NUT about carbs and servings. I can have anything I want but I have to choose what I eat and how much. My average carb intake has been <55 grams/day. My NUT was very unhappy and I was told I needed to increase to 93-120 grams daily:-\ Im going to try whole wheat pasta and pray it goes well. I've added a slice of bread to my diet...pepperidge farms very thin wheat bread. She also wants me to add 2 servings of fruit and veggies daily...ugh! She said not to see it as a diet but lifestyle change that I can maintain for the rest of my life. highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 180#(2/8)

Dr wanted to take me off mine but my symptoms wont let me function. Nausea, vomiting, anxiety, hot flashes, night sweats, formication (arms, legs)...ugh. so I refused to take my patch off during sx and after. Im just a slow loser i guess but a loser nonetheless:-) highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 180#(2/8)

I've been losing weight but slowly. I'm averaging 500-600 cal a day, 70-80 grams Protein, <55grams carbs. Im wondering if it's not my hrt slowing my loss because hrt tends to make ppl gain weight. Anyone on hrt? highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 180#(2/8)

I feel ya! I have started buying the 8oz bottles because it just seems easier to get down. I USED to luv drinking Water and never had issues but it's different now. I have tried crystal light and mio but everything just tastes too sweet:-\ I guess it's a good problem to have because I don't crave anything sweet at all. Makes me nauseous. ..I luv ur pics! I live in the tx panhandle...nothing pretty here!! Congrats on ur weightloss!! highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 180#(2/8)

I had a hysterectomy before my sleeve. I have been on hrt for a little over a yr and I know it causes weight gain. Im losing weight but compared to others im losing slowly. I can't get off my hrt because of awful menopause symptoms (even though I still have both ovaries and hormone levels test normal) Are y'all on hrt? highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 180#(2/8)

Im stuck on my goal! I feel bloated this morning ugh!! Its my sodium intake. ..too high. Good luck ladies!!

Im getting tired of my usual protein shakes. Any recipes that y'all can share?

Thanks for the info!!

I can't find it!! We dont have HEB stores in the tx panhandle...will keep searching!

Gonna try today because the almond milk just wasnt good!

Im at 180#!! I have met my goal early:-) new goal 175#...

Wow...I think your doing good! It took me forever and still struggle to get 70grams of protein in. Yesterday I got 55 grams and couldn't eat anymore. I too lost the most weight during my 1st wk and stalled like 2-3 wks. The weightloss will come just be patient!!

Im a little over 2 months and im doing ok with lettuce but haven't tried fruit. I barely get a few pieces because I get full from the protein.

Wow!! Congrats!!!

Current weight 185# Goal weight 180# So I have 5lbs to go!! Good luck ladies!!

Idk y im losing so slow. I have been working out going on 3 wks because of set backs so my hubby thinks it's that. Im only getting in on average 500cal a day and that's including 2 snacks. I cant seem to even get to 700 on a good day! I get 70-80 grams of protein a day but just cant seem to get more than 40oz of fluids a day. Im not going to complain because I do feel a lot better with the changes I have made and im losing lbs:-)

What is ur diet like?? Im 2 months and have lost 26lbs...
