I’ve been waiting to hear! I’m so glad they finally got you something!! Just believe! (Sugar pills can be powerful right!?!) you’re still in my prayers. Keep us posted on your surgery and progress!

I believe my weightloss will NOT be weightLOSS but instead WEIGHTGAIN! With my hubby going thru Covid, and me not sleeping well with his cpap noises, I decided to let loose and eat what I wanted over this holiday week. We couldn’t get out being quarantined, but did go thru a McD’s drive thru...... and that wasn’t all by far. It wasn’t how much I ate as it was WHAT I ate. I prolly sabotaged myself, but I needed it. If all goes well he goes back to work Monday for half a day, and we’ll see how he handles it. I feel like being locked up with him all week IVE HAD COVID! Lol

And yes, sugar pills can work, and the sugar would be a plus! Lol I’ll let you know. I was soooo frustrated that my pain management dr wouldn’t prescribe it for me. Seems like a contradiction of his oath. I don’t know if it’s because he is osteopathic or not, but I would think he would consider a wide range of medicines to help with pain, especially in a temporary situation of waiting for the surgery! I felt like I was being treated like I had a drug problem!
anyways, it’s done now, I have enuf to last at one a day til Jan. 21st. Thanks for your encouragement.
do you have a date for your surgery?

Just wanted to let you know, my PCP was called in to work at the hospital because of the Covid, so I was struggling to work with a dr. Who doesn’t know me from Adam. After a few desperate phone calls SHE PRESCRIBED ME THE MEDICINE! I took my last old pill last night, and I’m kinda worried about starting the new ones tonight because I’m afraid she gave me sugar pills just to get me off her back!! Lol tonite will tell!

So good to hear!! Persistence!! I hope you feel better....you just have a couple more weeks!

food ideas:
snacks: I’ll roll provolone cheese & turkey together and dip in guacamole, or Handful of blueberries.

Breakfast: went out to eat and ordered mushroom cheddar omelette.

Lunch: Split pea Soup with Isopure Protein Powder.

Dinner: Green Beans & salmon

Anybody try salad? ? I’m craving one but nervous on all the fresh veggies only being 6 weeks out.

Trying my best to stick to high Protein, low sugar fruits. But 2-3 crackers always find their way to me at night 🤫🤣

I broke through the 2nd stall, hallelujah!

I cut out fruit and I made such an easy and yummy Asian soup!

I put green cabbage in the food processor to shred.
Hand chopped some mushrooms. Added 2 oz of cooked chicken. Garlic. Ginger. And chicken broth. Just delish!!

total used was 8oz of vegetables and 2 oz chicken. Good for 2 servings.

Wow!! You are creative!! I seem to remember a recipe for a cabbage Soup for weight loss years ago, and that was what you had at least 2 meals a day and then a regular meal for dinner. But that was a long time ago. But that sounds great!! But I’m still working on my pork & sauerkraut from yesterday!😂😍

Congrats on getting thru your stall!!! You go!! Now you know what to do next time!!😍

We are all going to have something bad at some point!! I’m just so afraid of dumping...that what stops me. But I am sure at some point I will be texting the waters!

how did it go down?

Awesome on breaking 2nd stall! I broke through 1st one but then slowed again.. I cut out almonds because I wasn’t measuring them. Fresh & natural ingredients always seem to break up stalls. Hoping I can break mine on Tuesday’s weigh in!

I had no problems, but a couple weeks ago I guess I had what you call dumping syndrome. And like you I was scared to death. I had a Bariatric friend to call and text, and she was very helpful. After awhile I lit had gotten worse and I ended up throwing up. I thot I would be miserable all night, and slept with a garbage can beside the bed, but I went off to sleep and in the morning I felt fine. But I was afraid of hurting my insides. I don’t ever want to do it again, and I expected diarrhea but nothing more happened from it so I’m thankful.

I had to cut the almonds out as well...for now anyway. I was having salted almonds so maybe the sodium was retaining Water? They are also quite high in calories. But 6-8 filled me. It was a great snack.
