Great attitude! I You will get past it!

Does this only have to be lunch? It is nearly lunchtime so here is my first post here! Turkey Bacon Frittata! 2 eggs, 2 tbls ff cottage cheese, 2 slices turkey bacon, onion, jalepeno and some Hernandez salsa. Ate half... Other half for Breakfast tomorrow! On a salad plate

Woohoo HW 231 SW 224 (12/16) CW 205.4 25.6 # lost total!

I started biotin dots Monday, forget to take some meds on the weekends, that was one of them! I haven't noticed my hair yet, but it's only been 5 days since I started it, will have to see what happens. Hoping my nails will get stronger at least! I have been taking B12 since out of hospital! For some reason I have only forgotten that one a few times on the weekends!

Thanks don! I will be trying to go to them, but was really hoping to find someone to carpool with. Guess I gotta go to see who comes from ft worth so we can take turns driving! I have heard excellent things about Thinspirations and look forward to joining! Shall- yes I was so tired after being out with hubby for less than 2 hours, then cleaning house, getting flower beds cleaned out and setting up workout room. Took 2.5 hour nap! All week this week I was tired a lot at work, think it was from extended tom. Sorry don :/ Before that I was okay energy wise, so hope it was just because of that and my energy comes back this week

Well I didn't end up going... I babysat my best friends daughter last night so she could go to her company party, she got her about 1:15am, so I ended up sleeping in then just wasn't feeling up for being gone half the day, a little over an hour drive each way, then there for 1.5 hours. Would have been 4 hours without going to ikea! Hubby and I ran errands and cleaned house, getting my daughters old room filled with weights, punching bag and stuff. So at least productive and something for our weightloss goals!

My stall I think also lasted 12 days from week 2 after my follow up, gained nearly 2 pds, but have started losing slowly, but averaging 3-4 pds each week since. I am trying to weigh on Fridays for valentine challenge and again and officially on Sundays with my measurements and for pounds list December board.

I am going to try to attend this Saturday's support meeting in Frisco. It is called Thinspiration - it is patient led and I have heard good things about it. Has anyone else plan on attending that may want to carpool? I may stop at Ikea afterwards - just because I love that place and its difficult for me to find the time to go there, so may as well stop in while I'm on that side of town.

hi, just checking in with everyone!!!!! yesterday was 1 month since surgery date, I am down 23 pounds. My follow up for 6 weeks is 1/27, I keep thinking it is this coming monday though. I have had TOM since 1/8, im ready for that to go away! It does seem to be subsiding! I will definately be asking about what to take for the next one at my followup - since tylenol didnt work for me at all.

I can only get in half a fage in, so filling! Today I added a tbsp of pb2 and 1/4 pack of Splenda, pre-sleeve I used real peanut butter stirring till well blended! Yummy!

I hope they have suggestions for us... I was miserable, and don't want that every month! If you find something let me know and if I do I will let you know

Hi bry I'm in nort Fort Worth I have a few misses in the protein shakes too. I bought some inividual packages to try, now I'm on purée for another week and drinking one protein drink a dat called go lean by labrada, I like the chocolate ice cream flavor. Vitamin shoppe has them premixed and you can buy individual noses to try. I get my other protein required from cottage cheese, purée chicken and tuna. I alo bought unflavored protein to put in the sf pudding mixes, and be careful if adding to soups temp needs to be less than 140 deg for hot liquids or it can clump.

Forgot to attach image and wasn't letting me edit it in Here it is

I've had the chipotle ranch and thousand island dressing.... Both taste good. Here is the label for thousand island. It does have sucrolose and xantham gum which I believe are essentially sugars though it's state 0 sugar on label per svg

I had mine the week before surgery, then started about 5 days late... Boy this one is a doozy! Very heavy and bad cramps! Missing my ibuprofen which has always helped in the past! Have 6 week follow up next week, will definitely ask what I can take because Tylenol is not really helping.

Shall, I think mine is 800 cals max... I will check in my book. I usually get between 500-700 still not reaching 800 but getting my liquids and protein required

That's a big YES! Things that are happening in real life are happening too in my dreams and are way over the top! It's so strange!

I too have the same feeling. I was measuring 2oz and eating all of it. The past 7 days I was feeling hungry within 1.5 hours after eating purée and getting down for not feeling restriction. I Re-read my big book from dr plan and see that it states 1-2 oz Protein and 1/4 cup vege. Sleeved 12/16. Tonight I measured out 4oz of rotisserie chicken, dark and white mixed and puréed it and had a single serving of those instant cup of mashed potatoes. (Which is really two svgs of 1/3 cup each!) I turned on my timer and took a small bite with a little mash and a little chicken and chewed 25 times.... After twenty minutes and setting fork down FINALLY I started getting the FULL feeling, re-measured what was left and I had eaten 2.5 oz of chicken and less than 1/4 cup of tators. I was thankful to finally get the feeling... Guess I had been missing the second component the dr recommended for me at mealtimes! I have no issues with liquids either! Good luck! T

You really cannot make this up! I'm curious how they play it out too Gregg, were you and Jen part of the interviewing? I am only asking because I have a high school friend who's story was aired on a show called "family secrets". As well, my ex MIL was on deadliest women, she was a girlfriend to a man who's high school aged daughter poisoned him here in north texas 20+ years ago. Both were involved in the taping and said several things they thought would be included were not actual on the show once it aired..... Will be curious to see

Great semply! I just picked up a different chewable vitamin at vitamin shoppe, like it so much better than the chewable so got at gnc. And they are for bariatric patients so I'm hoping better. I also picked up biotin dissolvable dots... Not sure they actually will help with hair loss but heard about them enough on here figured it couldn't hurt? My nails should be better for taking it at least! It's my TOM and for 1st time recorded a loss during! However, my cramps are out of this world and cannot take my usual ibuprofen so finally took Tylenol, which only helped for a few hours! Boo my six week appt is next week Monday and I have a few question on what I can take since I've have pretty bad cramps every other month...

Doing good here! The high winds today kicked my allergies into high gear. But other than that had a painting class last night and not missing drinking at all! I had decaf tea and took vitamin water zero squeezed lemonade and had a great time! Hope everyone is doing great!

You look wonderful!

I also had 2 tubs of work clothes in size 16-12, only a few twelves though since I did get rid of several of those 3 years ago since it had been ten years I was holding on to them. Most are 14's that was a size I was for several years. I'm now in loose 18, almost to 16. I have two outdoor bags of clothes to donate all sizes. Lots of it are things I won't wear even if smaller and 3 pair of 18 jeans that fall off. And almost all summer capris and shirts that are 18 and 16, since I hope to be beyond 14 by then! The past two Sundays (weigh in/measurement day) I have spent about half an hour trying on the 16's so close last week, hoping tonight they will work

Hi all! Great losses! Mnwin do you need HW & SW each week? Or just CW? HW 231 SW 223.4 can't remember if I rounded that last time 1/12/14 CW 209.2
