That is outstanding. Be cautious with the foods, just because you didn't have a problem with a very small amount of custard doesn't mean you won't have issues if you try larger amounts. Truthfully, it sounds like you probably don't need the warning, but just in case, there it is. BTW you're...

Welcome Jduffy, you've found a great group of people here. You definitely have a lot going on in your life and definitely some obstacales in your way. You can overcome them, at least the weight related ones, if you follow the plan that will be laid out for you by your Dr. and Nutritionist...

First off, welcome to the board. The real question is "How long does the pain last?" If it goes away after an hour or so, check what you're eating to make sure that it is within your plan for two weeks out. If it isn't in the plan, take a step back and go back to the plan. If the pain lasts...

Renie, good luck with your appointment. Prayers coming your way. Frank :cool:

Ralph, Beautifully said. Nothing more to add. Frank :cool:

Hi Donald, welcome to the group. Checking with your doctor and nutritionist is a great place to start. Other things that will help, start journaling all your food and liquids. Write down everything that goes in your mouth, it keeps you accountable to yourself. Set small, attainable goals and...

Welcome to the board. What the others said is right, this is a lifelong journey and as long as you follow the plan laid out for you, you will lose the weight. Maybe quickly, maybe slowly, but does it really matter? You say you're feeling Good and that is the most important part of this...

Hi, not sure what food you are eating, for me at this point is was full liquids. The best thing to do is concentrate on getting in your liquids and protein, as these help with the healing and recovery after surgery and are critical for weight loss. Very few people were able to get in all their...

Your lunch can look however you want it to. Just remember to get in your proteins and fruits/veggies before eating carbs. Of course it will be much smaller than previous lunches. Just eat the same things you would on the weekend. Frank :cool:

Sue, the best way to feel better is to get in your water and protein, these are critical during the early days as they promote healing and weight loss. As for hitting the stall, are you measuring yourself? Start measuring yourself every time you step on the scales, if you're exercising more...

James, I have never had that problem. Karenina might be on to something. Try her method and see if it helps, if not, I would check with the Doc office to see what they say. Frank :cool:

Hi Barbara, I finished the survey, very interesting. Frank :cool:

Outstanding to both of you. Keep at it, I promise you will feel even better. A lot more good times and feelings are coming your way. Frank :cool:

Welcome to the board and congratulations on your surgery. At four days out, you are still recovering from the anesthesia, so your energy levels will be low and you'll tire easily. This does go away, usually a week or two after surgery. Keep walking, sipping and getting in your protein, it's...

Hey Donna, long time since we last chatted. You have done a fantastic job, nothing at all to be ashamed of. As others have already said, you're still losing weight and that's what counts. I'm about six pounds from my goal and it's been a few weeks since I've made any progress, but I'm ok with...

Nice. I'm very impressed. I have another week before I can start lifting again. I will be working to rid myself of the batwings and saggy knees. Keep up the great work. Frank :cool:

You still new to all this Deena, it does get better. It took 11 months before I was off all my pre-surgery meds, now the only thing I take is a daily vitamin supplement. You will get there, just keep your chin up and shout if you need a shoulder or two to lean on, we're here. Frank :cool:
