Hi guys,

I posted a topic about a month ago where I hit a stall. I just couldnt lose weight for nothing. I think I was actually gaining weight. Well I took some advice from some people on here and it worked. I was eating:

Breakfast: one egg (usually white), 2 slices of bacon and maybe a slice of toast

snack; orange juice or popcorn

lunch: 1/2 tuna sandwich

snack: 1/2 soda or 10 grapes

dinner: maybe a snow crab cluster, or tuna, or 4 scallops or maybe a chicken leg

snack: pork rinds

exercise 1 hour a day (EVERYDAY)

and I was not losing anything. well i changed things up. I started paying more attention to my calorie intake. I modified some things and the weight started falling off again

Now I eat:

Breakfast: 1 package of instant oatmeal

snack; 1/2 serving of orange juice (i need the oj to help keep my blood sugar high enough to keep me going)

Lunch: 1 cup of salad with low fat dressing (no meat on my salad. just plain romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber...basic salad)

snack: 10 grapes

Dinner: something seafoodish with lots of Protein

snack 1/2 cup popcorn

and during the day i enjoy TONS of propel zero (no calories, fat or carb) or crystal light (theres some calories in it, but i dont drink much maybe 2 packages a week) and when I want to splurge I get a sprite zero or a diet sparkling green tea with strawberry and kiwi (no calories) AND exercise everyday for 1 hr

Well because I have reduced my intake, I just weighed in at.......289!!! the first time since graduating High school i have been under 333!!! So now I got 90 pounds to onederland!!!! I can do it and I know I can now....GO ME!!!

WooHoo! Way to go girl! 300 was a mile stone for me just as it is for you too. I was also excited about losing 100 pounds which was at about 275 for me.

Keep up the good work - you can do it!

I absolutely love it when people break their stalls... I know how frustrating it is and what a complete uplift it is to see the scale move again. Good for you ... keep up the good work and positive attitude!! =]

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
