2 oz this far out??   Doesn't sound like a very small amount to the rest of you?   I mean, how in the world are you supposed to get in your calories when you're only eating 2 oz.  How many meals are they saying that you should be doing?   2 oz is only 1/4 of a cup!!   dang.....That doesn't sound right.  I have been on a long stall too, but I think I broke the stall.  Mind you, I've been getting to the gym in the past couple of weeks too, so I suspect that's part of the reason for the stall.  So I've lost 3 lbs this past week, thank goodness!!  :-)

I know mine has gotten back on track as well.  I had been missing a few months from time to time about a year ago, but now it's very regular.  Not sure what makes our bodies click  :-)

Topic: For the LADIES: Girly talk

I hope everyone is well, I rarely check in because of my hectic schedule! I always tell myself to check in here because in the beginning I KNOW I wouldn't have made it without all of the support I found in OUR forum!!

I do have a "girlie" question. Do any of you notice that your cycles have become very regular? Well, mine has since I got below 300lbs back in October or so. HOWEVER, this month, I'm about 4 or 5 days late.  Of course I took a pregnancy test because I am an adult that does adult things (stupidly). But, the test is negative which I was happy about.  I know we shouldn't get pregnant for at least 18 months or so. Anyway, it's very strange that I went from an on-time exact 28 days to being late.....any insight?

Thanks and KISSES!

 JoAnna, I am so glad to her I am not the only one! How are you by the way? I feel like we are sisters in this journey.

I eat Wayyyy more than 2 ounces. I eat until I feel full. Which is what I thought I was supposed to be doing. But I guess not, according to the nurse she told me that we can stretch out the opening into the stomach. Meaning more food passes through. It makes that feeling of fullness go away. She said that the danger is between 6 months - 1 year post op. I had no idea! I was eating because I thought this was what I was supposed to do. Eat until my pouch felt full. I was eating the wrong things (this I knew was wrong). Carbs mostly. I am off the carbs this week. I am going to try to eat just protein. But I am struggling with just 2 ounces. I am starving if I do that. :( So I am eating the protein and hoping this will kick my weight loss into gear again. I am so close to the finish line. I am afraid I am going to mess it all up. :( I don't ever want to go back to the way I was.

Topic: RE: Stall Needs to end!!!!
I've been pretty much stalled since the first of the year.  I'm trying not to get discouraged but it's hard.  How can someone eat less than 1000 calories a day and  not lose weight???  I haven't been able to exercise due to back/tailbone injuries, but I'm getting back into it soon.  Maybe that will help.

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.

2 ounces?????  I can eat way more than that too.  I also have no dumping issues at all.  I can eat anything.  I lost five pounds in January.  Gained four and then lost the four in February, and have lost maybe a pound this month.  It's getting way hard to keep doing the right things without seeing any results.

 If I don't break this stall soon I am going to cry. I gained weight on my vacay. I had gotten down to 162 lbs. Now I am back up to 168! I ate wayyyy to much of the wrong things on vacay. It was too difficult because Disney and Universal don't offer high protein foods. All of it was breaded and fried. Even the drink choices were difficul****er was the only option. And they charged $4.50 a bottle.

So far I have eaten chicken, and hamburger. And the only snack food I have eaten is sugar free popcicles. It's hard because I want to eat salty snacks. I will give this a try and hopefully will be back on track soon. It's day two and still the scale hasn't moved.  

I am eating wayyy to much. The doctor tells me I should still be eating just 2 ounces a meal. Well I am eating way more than that. I am still hungry after 2 ounces. So did the surgery not work for me? Why am I still hungry? 

Any advice? Anyone else having these issues?

I'm still trucking along.  I've fallen into the habit of only eating a few times a day.  I don't my protein in or my water in EVER.  I'm still losing, but much slower than I was before.  I also don't do any form of exercising right now.  Stress crept into my life in a horrible way, and now I'm working on straightening myself out!

I know everything I *should* be doing, and I can preach for hours to others, but as far as taking my own advice..umm oops.
