Hi All:

I have been reading this thread for awhile, and I am coming to the realization that I MUST be EATING WAY TOO MUCH!!! It's no wonder my weight loss is at a standstill !!!

I read them again just now and want to know if this is (seriously) ALL that you eat every day? I am not being sarcastic or critical or a smart aleck...I am totally serious...!!!

I am the leader/coordinator of our support group and everyone says how much they eat....I have been researching and racking my brain to find out EXACTLY how much we should eat and it's all different! Most say 3 ounces at a meal and a small snack in between. Then you read something different everywhere! Is it me or just wishful thinking?

I have also discovered the thread on the ObesityHelp website - WHAT R U EATING TODAY? under the Lap-Band messageboard and Lisa on there posted Dr. Fox's Plateau Busting Diet!!! I have forwarded it to my group and will follow it myself. My system needs to be cleansed....back to the basics! Back on track! I have been at a plateau since last summer and I am totally frustrated...!!! Now I see why I am not losing! The writing is in your thread! And I thank you from the bottom of my heart and the pit of my stomach!

Hugs,

Nancy

Hi Nancy! Yes, this is seriously all that I eat on any given day.

Good luck getting off of your plateau! :party:

Be careful what you wish for, you may get it lol

I found on another thread where someone mentioned Pork rinds, I found them and love them. I make it my snack daily since they have 0 carbs and are pretty filling.

When we go shopping I say gee I wish they made bigger bags of these.

Yesterday while shopping at Sam's club my DH walks up to me and with something behind his back - this is what he gave me

So I guess this is my snack of the month hehehehe:phanvan

Now even the kids like them - wish they were green no one would eat them!

Nothing today, I am not hungry and I feel if I eat, I will PB. I'm going to the kitchen right now to try and get down a shake. :speechles

I think I'm not hungry b/c I have drank over a half a gallon of Water today for the first time in a long time and it's only 5:06PM EST. :rolleyes

TMI: The water is passing right through me. I'm in the bathroom, literally every 5 - 10 minutes.

Not good right...that I can't make myself drink shakes today? (Still Post op 2 weeks). Am I doing more harm than good?

I'll just pretend that today was purification and detox day if the shake starts to taste gross and I can't finish.
