Wow! Maine?? That is something I have never heard of. I have lived in TX for 16 years now but was born and raised in CA so earthquakes are nothing to me. Now tornadoes? Well now, THOSE scare the hell out of me. And now I have lived through Hurricane Ike and still I think tornadoes win out on the fear factor!

That was some awesome information on "The Inevitable Stall".....THANK YOU:D

I have just spent the last 50mins ready the post for the last two days and to say the least I have been and still going through everything that has been posted. The only thing is the financial. I am praying for everyone o that note because we all need that help but I am trusting I The Lord to continue to provide for me.

Now I am almost four weeks post op sleeved 9/19. I am down pre op 204 day of surgery 196 today 181.4. I am going up and down from last week. I am getting under 500 cal per day if j don't take my shakes. chicken is a no no now. No hair fallout. Doing new things with the powders now. I too Amy in a stall n think but I don't see the nut until 10/31.

When did you all start doing more strenuous exercises. I only walk now bout 3.5 miles a day except Sunday. I have resistance bands and sculpting bodies DVD but not sure if insides have healed enough tak so more. Ok I will stop rambling because I have so much but I will stop here. I must say that I get more help and support here than j so at my support group.

Oh yeah and I am still having problems with Constipation. Taking MOM at least once a week.

ok for lunch i had a taco at work i was able to eat it all and was satisfied nromally i would of had two. its a good thing and even with the chicken strips im under 800cal and under 50grams of carbs wow. how do i get in 1200?

[MrsNellieC 23]

Are you sure they meant 1200 cause when i saw the Nut at woodland hills she have me a sheet for 700 calories.....

[Momofthing1thing2thing3 116]

Agreeing with "For-me..." This is better than my scheduled support group. Which is in an auditorium and run my the nurse...more like a class than a support group.

Yeah, wondering about the calorie count. My nut didn't give me one either. Just hammered on the lack of carbs in my diet. Please. It's carbs that got me in the pre-wls I was in anyway!

I may also be in a stall. But I'm not weighing myself everyday. Trying to limit that to once a week. I may step on the scale, but I only count it once a week....fair?

For those of you looking for something "new" or "different" to drink to help get your liquids in I found Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry and Diet Cran-Grape juice at Wal-Mart. It has been a lifesaver for me since I am so sick of Water that I could puke. And well, milk is getting to be the same way for me. So here are the facts for the Cranberry Juice: 8oz=5 cal, 0 fat, 20mg sodium, 20mg potassium, 2g carbs, sugars <1g and Protein 0g. I thought that met the requirements so I am enjoying the change. I don't drink the full 8oz at a time, usually 3-4 oz. So there is your tip for today from me! Have a good one! I am on my way this morning for my one month post-op visit with the PA for my surgeon. Gonna have a long talk about me and my problem with Vitamins. I am so tired of puking them up! I will let y'all know the outcome.

[For-me-and-only-me 27]

Thanks for the tip mom because I too am getting so tired of Water and to think pre surgery I had no problem drinking water and liked it.

[Bukki 41]

@momto 3.....I too puke up the vitamins! I thought I was only one doing this. I spent all that money buying the bariatric Vitamins and supplements the program recommended, only to find I can not tolerate them !!!!

[scaredoftheunknown 95]

I finally emailed my nut. Since I'm confused about calories, carbs.. I hope I hear from her today. As I mentioned yesterday I was hungry all day and I ate more than I should've and I gained 1 lb. Go figure. Ugh!

[whitsmom08 17]

Momto3 you may have just saved me as I will be heading to Walmart. Thank you!!

[MDM0927 29]

I will also be heading to Walmart today, so tired of Water. I'm at work right now and so hungry, I don't know what to eat anymore. All my coworkers are going to have Tommy's for lunch, I guess I'll eat cottage cheese
