Got my picture up alright-sideways !! ???? lol

Trying to update my new weight on my profile and can't figure it out ! Anyway, I want to thank everyone for all your support.

Hi All, Happy to report I hit the 50 lbs mark !! I more lb and I am under 200 !! So excited! Hope everyone is doing good!

Good for you! I went to a follow-up with my surgeon's office Friday. I had been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds for the past several months & was frustrated, but knew that not counting my calories was the reason why. I'm determined to get under the 200 mark, so I thought I'd do the 5 day pouch re-set that is posted on here & I've heard others talk about. Although it calls for 2 days of liquid protein, 1 day of softer stuff like eggs and tuna, 1 day of crumbled protein like ground beef/turkey, etc. & then the 5th day of starting to add your regular foods and really journal and count calories again, I varied mine a bit. I found during the first day of all liquid, I didn't necessarily feel uncomfortably hungry or anything, but I was nauseated a few times and did not sleep well that night. I added the eggs and tuna on day 2. I'm on day 3 & can feel the difference! I have lost 5 pounds & I feel energized. Good luck to you & take care!

thanku jan. i would like that!

Hi JanB. Just wanted to see how you're doing. Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm also still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of this site.

Hi LauraLeigh, I just saw your reply now ! I haven't got this down pat yet ! I just am getting over a 3-4 week illness that was very challenging food wise. I am feeling better than I was and am very grateful for it ! First time food tasted right in weeks, when I tried to eat, that is. Onward and upward! I hope this finds you doing well.

Doing good until 4 or 5 days ago and then I started getting nauseous, couldn't eat, running to the bathroom. I'm starting to feel better today. We finally got my blood sugars regulated. I guess it's a learning process. I'm still glad I had it done !! Nice to hear from you !

Thank you. I was 8 weeks this past Wednesday, so you're not that far behind me. How are you feeling?
