    Calorie confusion

    Thanks for sharing all the info! I use MFP too and at 3 1/2 months I get between 700 - 800 calories per day, 80- 100 gramss protein and less than 50 grams carbs. I don't track fat grams BUT everyday I click on the little pie chart icon to see what my percentage of protein is. If it is above 50%, I lose. If it is below 50%, I never lose. Personally, I went about 4 weeks before I figured this out. I thought I was getting in almost ALL protein, but you would be surprised at the percentage of fats and carbs in our high protein foods! Can you check this out on your MFP? Go back through each day and click on the pie chart icon to see your percentages? It REALLY helped me.

    Calorie confusion

    Hi many fat grams are you getting?
  3. 3 months and one day out and I hit Onederland!! 54 pounds down! 199!! Woohoo!! Hard for me to see the difference, but my husband does - so yay! These were all taken one month apart. (The last pic was me after walking my dog in the rain - too excited to go put makeup on for the pic!)

  9. Wow! That's great that your docs could tell you about the esophagus. I wish you the best in your sleeve journey!!
  10. Excess stomach acid can mimic hunger. Are you taking a PPI like Omeprazole for stomach acid? This helped me with my "hunger" feelings.
  11. Don't wait. I had mine out years ago after months of painful attacks. I thought I could manage it with diet but no way! Get it out. You will feel so much better.

    I think they are made with carbonation so they wouldn't work during liquid phase.
