Hello All,

I have not been on here in a while and thought I should be more involved. So latterly, I have started eating sweets again. I am trying to get a handle on it but I have been eating sweets (hard candy) and chips again. I have still even with the sweets and chips been staying within my calories and getting my Protein in but I just think I need to refocus. I still workout 5 days a week (3 with a trainer and 2 at gym doing solely cardio). My weight loss has slowed down a lot but I am still losing with no gains. This month I think I only lost around 9lbs (not sure) but I need to get it together because I still have a long journey ahead of me. 9lbs away from first major goal and 29lbs away from overall goal - and I am approximately a little over 7 months out.

I haven't posted on this thread in ages. AGES PEOPLE!! My bad. Right now I'm 217 lbs. I need to lose 5 more lbs and I will be 100 lbs down from my program start weight and 123 from my all time highest weight ever. I'm in a size 18 pants and 16 top. My next mini goal is 199. Where I will treat myself to a fancy Kensie dress (which I posted in the aspirational shopping thread I started in the powder room - go post something)!

Hey everyone, i have one more day of this Isopure to go but i think I'm allergic to it! On Sunday i can start full liquids and my Protein Shakes but this mango isopure is making my throat feel a bit closed, while the blue berry flavor went down and caused stomach pains...I'm just sitting here wondering why i feel so icky, it's this stuff!

Stop drinking it!! Do you have another source of Protein that you can use? If not focus on the other things you can have. And sip Water that's the most important thing anyway. Sounds like you're fresh out of surgery. Don't sweat the protein at this point.

Thanks, i just said the same. No more...it's totally upsetting all of my insides! I feel like i have a huge lump in my throat right now, i just started the mango Isopure this morning. But no more. I also can't stand stevia! Ugh. Two cups of tea wasted so far!

[mrsbailey921 117]

feeling so much better today! whew! i am giving away everything with artificial sweetners in it. i am realizing that post surgery NONE of it is agreeing with my new stomach. it ALL is bloating me up so badly. after my throat started to swell yesterday i started paying close attention to everything i drank with artificial sweetners, and i realized that IT ALL bloated me up within 30 minutes--a bloat almost as painful as the gas i had coming out of surgery. but when i thin liquids out and add just a TINY bit of REGULAR sugar, it all goes down without a hitch, no bloating, no pain, no dumping. this morning i had a 12 oz cup of tea with just a teaspoon of sugar in it, and i felt like i was in heaven. and so far---NO BLOAT OR GAS, and this was 1.5 hours ago. i still have quite a bit to go--but i just feel SO much better.

[mrsbailey921 117]

so thank you SleeveSiren for the advice! whew. now i have a boatload of stuff with fake sugar in it..but ugh...i just can't do it.

Hey Everyone, I have not been in the forum in awhile.. Getting back into routine of things. Here's my update: HW 298, CW 222, GW 165.. I went from size 22/24W to size 14 misses. Shirt size, i went from 3XL in Plus size to XL in misses.

Only problems i am having at this point is the Hair loss and for the last week whenever i eat something I get a feeling of nausea. It does not matter what I eat.

Two weeks ago while in church my husband put his arm round my waist and his arm was able to reach all the way around me. I got a little emotional.
