Thanks!!!

Okay, I am not technically challenged on other things, but the MFP is giving me a quite a challenge. When I go to friends the only options I get are to add friends via email, Facebook contacts or phone contacts. What am I doing wrong? I see nowhere to add your usernames?

Have a call in to my NUT finally to see why I've been losing and gaining the same 3-4 lbs for weeks. And how much I really should be eating.

Well, my NUT says I have probably just hit my first stall and have been doing everything right. Said to keep doing what I'm doing. Said to keep getting 65g Protein a day, keep the carbs under 45g (avoid the refined stuff and get carbs from fruit and whole grains) and aim for 600-800 calories a day. Also said to get at least a cumulative 30 mins of activity in a day, does not matter if its all at once or walking 10 minutes on each break at work. Said to quit comparing my loss to the loss of others because everyone is different. Said especially if someone weighed more than me on surgery day, they will lose quicker. Also said men lose quicker. Said I am actually ahead of the curve being down 32% of my excess weight at 9.5 weeks - said that's what they shoot for at 3 months out. So I guess all my freaking out has been for nothing.

Today marked 9 weeks out for me. Down 39 lbs but not even two pants sizes. Makes me wonder where I lost the weight from. It's like I'm failing at this too. Everyone else gets to break up with Lane Bryant and Avenue. I feel like I'm stuck forever.

Me too!! :(

      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.
