You are such an amazing inspiration!! Thank you for posting your story.

Comparing weight loss rates is hard for me. I started at 384 and expected some of it to melt off in the begining....i have come to accept and understand it will and is coming off 1-2 lbs at a time.

Thank you again.

Great! Thats exactly what i needed to know. I will add another shake. Thank you all so much!

Hi. I never thought in my life I would ask how to eat more but here I am.

I know that I am not getting very many calories. I am a little over 3 weeks out and am eating stuff like yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, eggs, etc. I have been losing steadily up to this point and assume that this is a stall but my concern is that I am truly not getting enough. I hadn't thought about it until the losing stopped and I started going up that I figured up the calories. One day it was under 300. I ate 3 times that day. YES, I know this is not enough, which is why I am here. I'm not trying not to eat.

So I have started trying to eat every 3 hours (which is harder than it sounds), some protein of some sort. I am not hungry but going by the clock instead. I eat about 1/4 cup each time of something. I am drinking my fluids in between.

Am I on the right track?  I can deal with a stall but I want to ensure that I am getting enough fuel so my body won't hold on to everything.

So far today I have had:
9:00am - 1 hard boiled egg mashed up with tiny drop of light/ff mayo and a few spoonfuls of carbmasters yogurt
12:00pm - same


Yesterday:
7:30am - bariatric fusion shake
10:00am - cottage cheese
1:00pm -  1 hard boiled egg mashed up with tiny drop of light/ff mayo
7:30pm - hummus

Thoughts and feedback are welcome :)

I've been many times and love it. Their New Orleans seafood is my favorite. I actually went today. I had the mashed cauliflower, it was quite yummy :)

Cafe TuTu Tango is awesome though...I've been once but it made an impression.

Crap, 1/2 the post didnt post. Sorry about that.

It has 15g protein. 6-8 oz drink, 4 g carbs.

Some itching is healing but you can also be allergic to the glue (or at least I was). My itching was awful, I was sooooooo uncomfortable. I did have inflammation but there was/is no infection. Dr. confirmed it today.

Hey RNmom,
Congrats on your surgery!

I did not have a hernia repair this time but did with the band revision or removal, i dont remember which, its been a couple of years. I think its just acid and i go on Thursday for my 2 week f/u.

How are you feeling?

Hi. I did a search but did not see anything that really fit this topic.

I woke up this morning feeling like I had a knot in my throat/chest. I haven't had anything to drink or eat since last night so I dont see that anything could be irritating anything. I've burped a couple of time which is unusual first thing in the morning.

I dont really know what to think, any thoughts? I'm not worried just uncomfortable.

Lol at this point refried beans sounds like filet mignon lol

Honestly being different from the band is music to my ears! Lol

I will measure i do not want to learn the hard way if i dont have too

I know right! From what i read if we measure we should be good. I got a 1/4 c measuring cup and put it on the counter so i can remember to do it. I think that will help relieve some of the anxiety.

Ok. Just super paranoid about too much of anything.
