WLS: New Month, New Year, New You!

[Emerald]

I can't belive that this is the last day of the month. My how time flies.

FOOD FOR 1/31/11:
1 coffee w/1.5 scoop of pp and half/half

That is all I've had so far since I feel like I've been slacking too much lately. I am getting careless and getting way too comfortable with eating foods that might not be the healthiest. I should be putting PROTEIN first and I am not. I know that because of my smaller stomach my portions are limited (and I am thankful for that) but that is no excuse. I still SHOULD BE selecting healthier options.

I am grateful for my weight loss so far. I've NEVER lost this much weight, EVER, or this quickly. I was lucky to have lost 10 pounds a year before (and that was WITH dieting) so to have lost 130 pounds in a few months is mind blowing. I will never down play how awesome that is. I do think that I should be making more progress though and I think that I am not because of my actions. My body is very sensitive. It goes up fast if I don't eat the right foods, I retain a ton of water easily, and if I don't take my medication my losses stall all together.

I need to get with it already. I talk, and talk, and talk about it and then start the process, but somewhere mid-way I do a 180 and start all over again. I am annoying myself.

emerald, no kidding, time sure is flying. monkee, i am doing another day of liquids, i can say at 10 and a half months out it's way different. i have a headache for instance. i just feel gross even though i know i am up water weight due to tom and giving in to salt cravings from tom. now i am up 3 lb and i am saying no, dern it! i am ok with maintaining during tom but i hate seeing an increase and knowing i caved.

Menu for 1/31:
B: 1 coffee w/1.5 scoop of pp & half-half
S: 1 choc chip cookie :blush:
D: 4 small meatballs w/marinara, pepperoncini slices and provolone

I want to stuff my face but I am resisting and drinking water instead.

just wanted to say hi. despite 2 days liquids still up almost 3lb so i guess now i can really blame TOM and hope to see a big drop next week

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the message boards. I had my VSG on 6/9/10. My highest weight ever was 242 in 1/2009. When I started the process for the VSG I was 229. Day of surgery I was 201. As of today, I am down to 144, but a few days ago I was 141. UGH!!! I want to see the 130's SO bad!!! Anyway, I have scheduled my tummy tuck for 4/5/11 and would really love to lose at least 10 pounds before then, but feel like I have plateaud! Do you recommend doing the shakes for awhile to kick start my weight loss?

hi there! please see the link for the february thread listed in the post above yours... there are a few sleevers here. congrats on your success! i do try to do liquids to get back in the mindset. i also just finished three days of high fat very low carb low cal and it totally worked but after 3 days got bad headache so thinking thats too extreme for me now.
