Topic: RE: Stall
I'm with cneclevenger in that I stall for a few days then lose like 4lbs....over and over. It is a mind messer =P I TRY not to weigh myself everyday, but end up doing so....It's really nice to see the lower numbers!!!!!

It reminds me of when I found out I was pregnant with my firstborn, my son. I swear I peed on 15 pregnancy tests (Dollar Store!!!!!!) a day for like 2 weeks!! Just to see the little + come up =)

Topic: RE: DId u have RNY on 4/13/10???
I think it's also based on calories taken in....I'm normally between 500-600 each day. Eventually I plan 800-900 a day.

I've bee averaging a pound a day. Lost 23 so far in 3 weeks.

Topic: RE: IM NOT EATING ANY MEAT FOR AWHILE! UGH!
hehehe no, sorry. I lost 30lbs prior from January to day of surgery. I was 297.5 day of surgery.
I changed my ticker =P

So far I am down about 23lbs though, in 3 weeks. So I average a pound a day. This seem right?

How are you feeling now? Still gassy? I'm having major probs with that. Drives me crazy! And without "pushing" to pass makes it more intolerable =P
I've been using Beano meltaway tabs....

Topic: RE: 2 week post-op (delayed, lol)
I am on the search for calcium I can tolerate!!

So far I have tried:

1) Calcium citrate pills from costco. they are HUGE and need 2 every dose - pass.
2) Calcium crystals from BA - pass - makes my food and milk change texture to look spoiled!
3) BA calcium chews. Lemon ones are good. Raspberry has very little flavor but okay. Chocolate ones are so-so, but seem pretty gritty.
4) Cal-Mag-D from Vitalady. Ones I've been using. 500 per capsule. a little big, but tolerable for me.
5) samples from Celebrate - Chocolate calcet reminds me of a gooey brownie =) I could definitely eat 3 of THOSE a day for calcium, lol!

I still have tons of samples from Celebrate - all chewable calciums, lemon calcet, and their ENS drink which is multivitamin and calcium together. That is kind of expensive, but maybe as a variety I could use it.

They also sent me some chewable iron - I tried the tangerine one - YUMMY!
and B12 - literally melts in your mouth and only thing swallowed is saliva. Totally unlike my sublingual B12 from walmart (Nature's Made I believe) which I still have to swallow after it dissolves *scratch head*

Think I may switch to Celebrates B12 and Iron for sho! =) And some of those yummy chocolate calcets, too! And some lemon is they are even better! LOL
