Bariatric KLP food? AAAAAAAAH.
I'm on day four of my pre-surgery liquid diet, and I'm all ready to say "Dayenu!" LOL Does anyone know of a soup company that would be KLP? I'm on this website (link below), and it says foods are kosher but it doesn't say a) Who certified it and b) If it's KLP. Here's the link:…

Has anyone tried meal replacement/shakes?
We all remember the Slimfast commercials from the early 1990s (at least I do!), and while some thought it was a gimmick, I'm now seeing MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS CENTERS--AFFILIATED W/ HOSPITALS--selling and/or promoting meal replacement shakes. A hospital-based weight-loss program I once attended encouraged use of shakes, but I…

What do you do for fun & comfort instead of turning to food?
I've had a hellish ten days. So only gaining three pounds--but still not losing anything since I started (since I had a huge gain a while back)--isn't the end of the world.

I'm curious, though: While many of us are "batting 1,000" when beginning this process, what was the catalyst for you? What did you do that started your internal furnace to…

Looking for fellow friends who are PITastic :)

(It took 'em a few years to find the source.) It came back as a late teen and ever since, I've struggled with low/non-functioning thyroid,…

Feel like I can't do this
Of course, I lose four pounds and then, over the past week, have gone to town a bit too much...and now I've gained the four pounds back. This puts me at square one all over again. (And I've gained sixty pounds over the past year.) I'm ashamed to go to a family function today. I'm ashamed to get back on the bike that I…

Need Some Motivation...
So yesterday, I went on a bike ride. I ate relatively well. And then, I took a medication (Ambien) and it made me night-eat like crazy. This happens whenever I take it, and I wake up the next morning feeling humiliated. Now, seeing the # on the scale and the long journey in front of me, I could use some…
