Linda, use Splenda for your sugar replacement. It's wonderful stuff made from real sugar. It is the first sugar substitute I've ever been able to tolerate! I buy it by the case at Costco!

Hi Linda, Be sure you are getting enough water in. That is in addition to your Crystal Lite or other diet beverages. Plus, if you are a coffee drinker, you should drink 3 extra glasses of water to the one cup of coffee. Increase activity, decrease carbs, and increase water. That has always gotten rid of the plateaus. Also, remember things like beef jerky, sodas, and many processed foods have a lot of sodium in them, and may be making you retain fluids. I hope this helps you. Take care and God bless.......Mary

Dear Linda..........I am sorry to hear you are on a long plateau. I dread them! Have you tried the Pouch Rules on water loading? That might make the difference for you. I hope it works. Best wishes. :)

Linda Hi! I was running down the list of up and coming people having surgery soon and found your name. You should be home by now and hope all is going well for you. I live in Mesa and I had my surgery with Dr. Alan Newhoff (Weight for Life) 4 years ago. My starting weight was 353#. I have maintained 180# about 18 months out from my surgery. I am 51 years old and haven't seen this weight since 4th grade. My daughter had the surgery 2years ago. She is 21 and started out at 300#, now 170#. She looks really great. My son, 28 is having the surgery soon. We are on our 2nd round with the insurance company. Linda, I'm sure you will be coming to Phoenix often. I would love to meet you, maybe be could do lunch together when you can eat regular food. Please feel free to e-mail me at mamasitahensley @yahoo.com with any questions you might have and I will give you my phone # if you like. God Bless.....
