That's amazing Donna. Keep up the great work girl! I know what you mean about goals. Dr. Miranda told me that 166 would be the perfect weight for me. I have 17lbs to go, but I am not sure if I want to be at 140 or 150...only time will tell . You look AMAZING!!

Hi Angie!! Things have been good. I will definitely start journaling my food again. My birthday was over the weekend and things were busy. How are you sweetie

I had my pre-op tests and surgery performed first in my group. I was also lucky enough to go home the same day because I live in San Diego. It was a piece of cake .

B: 3 oz. Chicken Breast

L: 1 Turkey Taco in Romaine Lettuce with Sour Cream, Cheese and Hot Sauce

but i much prefer sashimi.

I can eat 2 or 3 pieces fine.

B: Chocolate Protein Shake

Good luck Carrie!!

L: Protein Burger

I agree with most of everyone who is saying that you are too tight. I would call the OCC and talk with them. Sounds like to me that your body is storing because you are not eating and you will not lose if you are too tight. What kind of foods are you trying to eat????

There was someone and I am sorry I dont remember who it was, that was too tight for WHILE and when they got an unfill, it made ALL the diference. They were able to eat and started losing the weight!

I know it would be easy to have the Magic number of calories, but I have found in my experience that someones "magic number" or what works for them may or may not work for you.....I have still not found my magic number.....Everyone is SO different!

Good Luck to you!

That happened to me. I was only able to eat about two to three bites, maybe 1/2 a small can of tuna and that was it. I often tried to force myself to eat more and spit up almost everything I ate. I was confused and thought I needed a fill because I was eating all day. My fill Dr. actually gave me a little bit of an unfill because he said I was not eating enough (I was spitting it up). I have only had 2 fills and 1 partial unfill and I am still losing. Since my unfill I have lost 15lbs. I strongly believe you should go to the dr and have them check you out. You may think by eating so little it helps, but your body needs enough calories to lose weight.
