 So I haven't lost a ton of weight since my last post, but I have been stuck at 194.  I am not complaining as I haven't been under 200 in AGES!  Probably longer than I would like to admit to :).  I started drinking more water and using a tad of crystal light in my water bottle to give it a slight taste.  I dropped the last few pounds I think from not drinking as much of the vitamin water zero stuff.  It has good vitamins in it but a few carbs.  Probably not enough to make a difference.. but I drink more water than the vitamin water and I feel a little better.  The only calcium I like are the bariatric advantage (i think) lemon chewy bites.  Only 250mg of calcium citrate per chew but it makes me feel like I am eating candy even though its sugar free n my calcium lol!  Can't go wrong with that! :)  But I had 2 or 3 days where my pouch was angry and didn't let me anything but mashed potatoes with some corn or peas mixed in it.  Not the best choice, but I was happy to get something down besides water!  I also noticed that I have to boil my chicken and then back for a few minutes as opposed to just bake it.  If I boil it first, it tends to stay more moist for me and I don't feel sick.  
I still find it funny when I buy meat and come home and separate it into little sandwich baggies.  I buy the chicken breast strips instead of the chicken breast.  I separate 2 strips into each baggie.  When I cook them, I boil them, cut them up and either soak them up in bbq sauce and pop them in the toaster oven for a few and enjoy!  Or I will boil them, cut them up, and put some all purpose seasoning on them and enjoy!  When I buy country ribs, I only can put one in each baggie.  I boil it and cut it up and soak it in bbq sauce and pop it in the toaster oven for about 10 mins and enjoy!  I also found that at Wal-mart they have single servings of vegatables.  Thank goodness!  I was so worried about how the heck I was going to do with these cans lol.  I was super glad to have veggies added back into my food!  Only thing that isn't 100% healthy for me is the white cheddar popcorn that I love so much.  I have to watch how much I eat because I don't get full off of it.  I think its about the only thing I feel like I have a bottomless pouch with.  So as long as I keep it in moderation, I am okay.  That is how I feel about it.  
Well I posted more than I intended to!  Sorry for rambling :)
