Thanks, actually it's been several years at goal. When eating out, it's fairly easy to ask that food be prepared without flour/cornstarch or fat/oil of any kind. I always specify this, as even if you ask for grilled, they may still cook it in oil or butter, sometimes adding that it's for medical reasons. (it sort of is, as obesity is unhealthy)Most places will accommodate. Chinese food is VERY easy, order something that's veggies & lean protein and ask that they use no oil or cornstarch and you can even get the sauce on the side so that you control the amount. Moo Shu is one of my favs Most places have grilled chicken, beef or seafood. I often order a small salad with one of those options. As far as the fish tacos, you can ask for grilled fish, no tortilla and salad. Or just the protein portion of an entree with no potato or bread. Ruby Tuesday has great options & a wonderful salad bar. In the beginning, I would get a skewer of shrimp and explain that since that was my meal, could I please get salad bar at the add-on price, since I couldn't eat much anyway. Most places will do omelettes with egg substitute or whites, add some non-starchy veggies and maybe a side of salsa, YUM!! Then, again, I ask that they use no oil/butter and do not give me toast or potatoes. If they are there I will eat some of them!! So, it's easier to not have them staring at me, lol! When you do have the time to cook, you can reinvent your favs. I have recreated all my unhealthy favs, comfort foods and family favorites, to fit my new way of life. ALL the taste and satisfaction NONE of the fat or carbs. I can share some if anyone is interested You are doing great, you will be fine. Enjoy this, wonderful new life, embrace it, get creative! hi! Can you tell me what comfort and unhealthy foods you redid and how?

I lost 24 lbs the first 2 weeks and now I have been stuck at the same weight all week! ????????

I am getting hungry a couple hours after eating. I am 12 days post op. I ate 1/2 cup of cottage cheese for lunch and am hungry a couple hours later. I lost 19 lbs the first 9 days and now a pound every other day.

There is a clear liquid flavored drink I think called isopure at gnc that has 40 grams of protein!

Are you drinking too much? I could only swallow a teaspoon in the beginning but now more of a tablespoon

Thank you for the suggestion!!

They told me I might not be getting enough calories because I switch to a lower calorie shake. so I'm going to try that and see if it helps!
