Congrats!

Thank you for the motivational reads this morning!

you are doing fine. This is a tool and not magic. We still have to do all the work. 30 pounds in 40 days is amazing! Just keep at it and you will see the weight come off.

Have you tried pinterest? I would also check Hungry Girl. She is really good at remaking some really good recipes into a healthy version.

For this reason alone I bought a new Calendar Journal for 2019. I am only 5 weeks post op, but i know tracking is my downfall. I am not always on my phone to be using the app to log food. I work all day, and have ballroom dance classes right after work and get home late. I need to be more stringent on tracking now.. or i am going to be that girl in support groups not understanding why i am not losing, but yet not having a clue as to how much i am eating.

I would recommend calling your doctor. I know mine showed up the night before (Nov 7th) and did not show up again until yesterday (Dec !7th) I am hoping for a normal go of it, but we shall see.

Good Luck on your journey!

It is totally normal. I had my surgery on 11/8 and on 12/2 i gained 3 pounds. I figured it was because my time of month was due to show up since it last appeared on 11/7.. it never showed up (till today lol) but i was about til 12/10 that it went back down and i am losing since. I think it may also have to do with your body catching up to you, can be dependent on bowel movements and water retention if you had something with salt. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will see it come back off.

Congrats on the baby! Will be so worth it in the end!

try going back to the basic and doing a reset.. Start with the liquid diet and go back through the stages. Not sure if you would need to do the full 2 weeks of each stage, but just a thought.

check with your surgeon. I chewed gum yesterday even tho it is a no no because i was flying and didnt want to be in pain from the air pressure.. and i would do it again if i was flying but not regularly.. it made me gassy and i could feel myself swallowing air.

Feel Better Mouse.. I hope all goes well and you are free of all these things real soon!

Totally Agree! It does get better as the days go by and before you know it you will be back to your old self.

Have you tried Pinterest? They have a lot of meal ideas. I am not 6 weeks out yet so i cant help much, but i have looked on Pinterest and there is a lot of Bariatric recipes out there.

Yogurt, SF Jello, SF Popsicles, Protein Water

But..again it was só good. I will swap out the ground or do a mixture of some..and i like the idea of adding veggies..but thats next week. Lol I havent been cleared to add veggies yet. I am still at 5 weeks..6 weeks on Thurs SW 306.6 CW 266.8 GW 135

I dont use breadcrumbs..my downfall was the pork. I nprmally use ground turkey but think i might go ground chicken..it was the fst grams that gave me a heart attack lol SW 306.6 CW 266.8 GW 135

Thats what i did SW 306.6 CW 266.8 GW 135

it will get better! I know we dont believe it when it is happening, but it is very true!

I just watched this.. Very true statements and very informative video. I do think exercise is key but the facts presented are to make sure you are ready for it. Very interesting and i like what i saw.. This just solidified for me to up my gym info that i am going to start in Jan and make sure i have a trainer. Right now i am in the process of scouting gyms so i can make the right choice.

I am only 5 weeks out and supposed to be taking in 800 -1000 calories a day. I can barely get in 6 ounces, I do not even think i come close to that many calories.

I might have to try those.

Are you taking the pepcid anti nauseous medication? That should help

Congrats and good luck!

i am struggling with slow cooker meat. I am almost 5 weeks post op. My dr said i can move on to regular foods and while last night i was struggling to eat the slow cooker chicken.. i managed to eat a burger patty yesterday. ( a whole one over the course of 45 min ) I have no idea how.. i was in a meeting and we had lunch and my boss kinda explained it as like it was eating popcorn and watching a movie.. while i am thankful it happened with meat.. it scares me it could happen with other food.
