Hi Maggie, Thanks for responding; I meant that I am not eating anything that I should not be; I am following my manual to the T - I dont think and I know that I am not eating 1500 calories per day; not with the diet menus that I am using: I usually have a Protein shake or 6 tablespoons of Cereal for breakfast; lunch includes grilled chicken and vegetables and the same for dinner; I usually do not get to a snack in between; I track all my foods on fitday.com and I journal; but, each day, I only get at the most 850 calories in per day. I do not eat sandwhiches yet, maybe I should incorporate those into my lunch; I love wraps. I so want to be successful at this and thought that I would contiunue to lose at least 2 pounds per week, I have included using some weights into my routine, I have just started using the treadmill, I was walking about 40 minutes 3 times per week. Yeah, I try to get about 60 grams of protein in my diet per day. What is the Couch 2 5K program? Congratulations on breaking your plateau. Thanks this is great inforamtion :biggrin:

Thanks tmg333; you look good; I have had one fill at 2.5cc's but I dont really feel anything and dont go back until 11/6/09; hope I can stay disciplined until then. I bought some weights and will begin to exercise every day on the treadmill; yeah, i do need to drink more water. Janice/transformed

Hi padanelle,
thanks for replying; I did something crazy tonight, I am now craving sweets, after six weeks, I ate about 1/3 of a brownie; seems like my had habits are returning; I have lost about 26 and a half pounds, I have reached a plateau but I think that I am becoming impatient; I am going to talk with my dr. this week about getting another fill. I cant do this if I feel hungry, some advice.

Your're doing fine, I have reached a plateau after six weeks. I have not lost any in 3 weeks, lost 27 pounds since my surgery on 8/17/09 though. I am happy for that, they say the plateaus pass, I cant wait to get to where you are

GOod luck; Transformed

WOW, I cant wait to get there, hey, had my first fill on yesterday and I could not really tell how I was supposed to feel, I almost felt like the food was caught after about 3 bites, how do you all feel, I was filled at 2.50 what was you and the wife's first fill. Have a wonderful time, you guys have been having fun since you had yours. Janice

What is your favorite / the best Protein Shake for pre-op liquid diet?
janicebillingslea replied to SumSum's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:scared2: I like the unjury Protein shakes, they have 20 grams of protein and curb your hunger for several hours. You can order them from unjury.com and they arrive at your home within 2/3 days. The vanilla and chocolate is delicisous. I was banded on 8/17/09. Hope I am doing this right, I'm new to this. Transformed Janice -
Hey Crimson Tide, havent spoken to you all in a while, last time we talked, I had indigiestion/gas so bad, ending up having gastritis, had to be on antibotics for two weeks still have not been filled, but, I lost 27 pounds so far since 8/17/09. I have to go back on 10/2 for another scope to make sure the gastritis is gone, I can hardly wit to be filled, I fill like I am eating a little more, and I am not losing much at all this last week. How have you all been doing? Thanks for all your advice, I have taken so many anticaids, I am 100% better now. I cant wait to get back to losing weight. Transformed Janice
