I'm 2 mos out and I'm down 54 pounds...I think I've hit another stall this weekend..I workout 4 days a week..running, eliptical and weights..my normal diet consists of cheese..yogurt..eggs..Turkey sausage..chili..fish ...water and sgar free drinks ..from time to time I've had a cheat here and there..I bought sugar free pudding pops for example for time of month and if i have company or am out I might sneak a small quantity of something forbidden ..but I work hard at the gym and for the met part stick to the nutrition program...if iget head hunger in the evening I try to just have a shake cuz it fills me up and I know exactly how many fat, calories, carbs is in there so I'm not overcome with guilt...hope hat helps?

That is so awesome! Any tips for me? I am doing the color run in March and the 5k mudrun with obstacles in may..I too started where I could only run 1 min.. even less sometimes..now I'm up to 10 minutes..I could use some help pushing through to that second mile:-)

Also..the last portion of your subject title reads "is this normal?" that may be why people are answering that question vs. How are/were they doing at 3 weeks...:-)

Hey Bella..I'm abt 2 mos out now but three weeks out is when I started soft foods. At first I could tolerate one scrambled egg with1/2 slice of cheese. Or i would do like 14 cup turkey chili with 1/2slice of cheese..for a meal..and for my snacks I also had Greek yogurt..usually couldn't finish one earlier in the day but seemed I had a bit more room in the evening and could eat the whole thing. I progressed a little bit as time goes by and now I can eat that scrambled egg and a Turkey breakfast sausage link chopped up in low Carb tortilla...I can never finish the whole thing..but what I do get down is probly a bit more than 1/2 cup..hope that gives you an idea of where'd I was at 3 weeks out

Vitamins..specially iron and b12

I haven't run into this at all since surgery but yesterday and this evening I'm craving treats like little Debbie's or...idk a bowl of kids cereal..strawberry twizzlers...ugghh...why? Is it because I'm really taking it to the Max at the gym? Today I did a 3 mile walk/run interval around a golf course and it was about 50 hills.....meals today were 1egg and two Turkey sausage breakfast links..lunch was a shake..and inner I had salmon shrimp and a few bites of grilled zucinni...I drink only water and non carbonated sugar free drinks....

When I last tracked during my stall it was around 800

I usually do.a ten minute run followed by a mile walk weight machines for upper thighs buns and arms then do 15 min elliptical before I leave..

Fiddle idk what the proper ratio is...I did a calculation one time using a webtool I saw on here somewhere and it was suggesting washy too many carbs and calories ..maybe I goofed it up somehow by mistake

Not time of the month so I can't really blame that..I generally don't even count calories because I mainly stick to protien..maybe I need to reorganize the frequency of my meals if I'm gonna keep working out like this..add another shake in the evening perhaps..

I asked my doc prior to surgery..he made me feel at ease by saying he makes the sleeves as small as possible but still keeping in mind that not too small to where if there was a leak or complications later on..that there would be just enough excess to safely repairif need be.

Yup..the foil tops...no complaints here though ...encourages me to keep sipping! Cheers! !

Are they the kind with the red top or the foil!? I had just started getting the red tops and I was so happy bc I didn't have chalk on my lips lol! Hoping they come in the "new" style but hey free is free!

Today I received 4 cases of premiere protien each contains 18 servings and a 30 day supply of liquid multivitamin. Looks like some papers I'm supposed to fill out and return as well but I'm working right now and didn't have a chance to really look them over..yayy Friday!

Pretty sure its true..just a hard pill to swallow..he liked me better fat with no self confidence..today he asked me why I think I'm the shit since surgery if I haven't even lost "the weight" yet...and reminded me that when we met I was just an overweight single mother with no friends and no man...and he made me awesome ...I never heard him say such hateful mean things...wtf...

Truely is perplexing...that's gotta be the main reason our surgeons stress good protien..its a completely different "full" that lasts longer and comes faster...and nourishes our shrinking bodies better...Id say stick to basics if you are really afraid of stretching..theres usually no question about it or missing restriction if you eat a nice piece of salmon or boiled egg and Turkey sausage you will definitely feel that "squeeze"..carbs are the devil my friend!! Stay away from those as part of your main entrees anyway! Enjoy your weekend!

Not a drop. 2 mos out today. I'm afraid the carbonation will make me feel hungry Like it used to

Smart lady Thick!!!

Smart lady Thick!!!

Welcome to the journey heavenbound!! Good for you. IMHO you are handling this very well! Hope it all works out the way you want it to! Congratulations on the surgiversary - I'm celebrating 3 days today..... :-)

Sooo..we finally hashed it out and I got my apology...apparently there were a lot of unspoken feelings about me changing..and carrying myself different and taking all sorts of extra care in my make up, hair, etc...so he was really choking on his jealous bone plus said he felt attacked when I started listing all the things he wasn't doing to please the new me...so..I get it...well keep working through it..(but I'm keeping my secret savings just in case I gotta fly the coupe)

Today is my 2 month surgiversary..I feel great..had an awesome workout this morning..and if he doesn't either leave or apologize and explain himself I will be finding my own apartment within the next week..and I'm OK with that...

Umm .no..havnt spoke since Sunday. His things are still packed by the door and is sleeping on the sofa..

My feet shrunk a size since surgery and I'm buying heels ..I feel instantly sexy when I put on heels

Free is magic to me! My shipment will be here tmrw! Woot woot!
