Sometimes if you increase your protein and water intake it will help your stall. Lots of time you have to increase your calorie intake because your body has gone into starvation mode. Stalls are common and you will have lots of them along the way.

There is great support for all WLS at www.bariatricpal.com and www.obesityhelp.com. I track all of my food here on myfitness pal....but go to these sites for support. They are so many people who are going through the same thing and it is full of information

How about cauliflower rice or cauliflower mashed potatoes....they are both real good and zero carbs. I also use cauliflower and make potato salad. Google cauliflower low carb recipes and you will come up with all kind of ideas

I think most doctors loose their patience with us. They think we don't try. We don't need anyone to tell us how fat we are.....we can see ourselves in the mirror. That being said....you need to go to the doctor. There are good ones that care. Everytime I go to tmy. doctor he praises me even if I have only lost one…

We have a Drug Emporium here......you can buy a lot of the protein powders in individual packets. I suggest you do this until you find the one you like. That way you have not invested in a large tub of something that you do not like.......The one I like the best is INJURY but you have to order it online. They supply to WLS…

WooHoo! Good Job!

Thanks for the help?

I am like rest of you and would love to jog......I would love to walk. I am overweight and have feet and knee problems....that is the worse! I wouldn't go to the store for a long time because I refused to ride a cart. Can't remember the last time I went "shopping".....so all of you that still have good feet.....get out…

Stir Fry your vegetables and then add some of the chicken.

You can also freeze cut up bananas......put the frozen banana in a blender and it makes banana ice cream that is delicious!

Low Fat Cool Whip mixed with strawberries (or the berries of your choice) put a thick layer on a graham cracker ....put another graham cracker on top....freeze.......makes a very good low calorie ice cream sandwich. Make up several and then keep them in the freezer in a container ready to go.

I wore a blouse to work this week that I bought this spring. It was falling off of me so bad that I had to go home at lunch and change!!!! I also went to doctor this week and he did not get onto me. My blood work was good and he told me to keep up the good work!!!

Click on the person that you want to add.......it will take you to a page to send a friend request.

Add meI have a lot to lose also. I have lost 122 from my highest weight over several years. Still have a lot to go! Only started really trying and really using this website in the last few months. We can all do it together......we are all here for the same reason and to encourage each other.

FANTASTIC................Don't know you.....but I am so proud of you for working so hard! I know you are lots happier now!

Don't think that of yourself. You are a wonderful and worthy person. Look at how far you have already came. Don't let all these comments get you down. There are people here that care and lots of us are in the same condition. I couldn't run to save my life!! Both of my rotar cups are wore out...so I cannot lift. I am not…

The other night I quarted my zucchini, shredded cabbage and cut up some onions. I sauted them in a skillet with butter. I put a lid on it and let them cook down. I let them cook until they started turning brown. I was so good!.......The browned zucchini tasted almost like fried squash....even my little boy liked it.

I'm very interested.......struggling daily

Feel free to add me.....I have alot to lose! I set mini goals....10 lbs. at a time. If you set high goals...you are more likely to get discouraged. I am always excited when I hit another milestone of 10 lbs....take it one day at a time....you did not put on over night and you won't take it off over night.

I had thyroid cancer in my early 20's. I have been on medication for years since my thyroid gland had to be removed. Your body cannot function without and it is very dangerous to go without. You will see a lot of changes in your body.....skin is lot drier, brittle nails....thinner hair....etc. This is all part of it. If…

Hi I am Brenda.... I am 60!! Ugh!.....I want to tell all of you to do this while you are young! The older you get the harder it is. My bones have wore out carrying around all this extra weight. My top weight at one time was 496. A few years back I dropped 150. I walked it mostly off......but now both of my knees are gone…

There is an Atkins recipe for eggs cooked in a muffin tin. I make a batch of them on the weekend and then freeze them. I pull out what I want and just zap them in the microwave. 6-large eggs Crumbled cooked bacon, sausage and ham (or anyone you pick) I like canadian bacon Shredded cheese Diced onions, peppers or tomatoes…

Some mornings I do an omelet in a Ziplock bag. Put a egg in the bag....squish it around....add whatever you want to it....I add cheese, canadian bacon, (sometimes just bacon bits)...etc.... drop it into a pan of boiling water.....go finish getting ready for work. It slides right out of the bag.... I wrap it up in a…

Me and Oprah Winfrey did Medifast back in the 80's........we both lost good, but once you get off of it....you gain it all back!! I gained back lots more than I lost (nearly double)!!!!

Fantastic job!! I know it took a lot of dedication and hard work!

I am having a horrible time. I just have no will power!! I start off in the morning with great termination but never carry through! I get so mad at myself for not sticking to it!!

Woo Hoo!! Great Job!

When my girls were young.....I would put their first short set for the season in their Easter Basket...I did this until they were too big for Easter Baskets.....They knew summer was not to far away.

I have a terrible time getting water down. I just don't like water. I love unsweeten tea......so I try to get my fluid by drinking tea. There is a lot of flavoring for water now......the problem is it is artificial sweetner......and I really do not like sweet drinks.....Good Luck!
