I haven't posted in a few weeks. I wanted to share that I have dropped 2 dress sizes and lost 35 lbs in 5 weeks.
I was depressed a few weeks ago, it seemed like I wasn't getting anywhere except depressed. It all takes time. I think if I could say anything the the new people it would be that. SLOW, with everything. I am making ice coffee out of my protein and I love it. Some food is OK in my pouch and some isn't but I know that if I eat one bit more than I should I don't feel good for an hour or two. So, if you listen and do what you should you will be much better.
I got sick for the first time last week after taking my evening meds. I had eaten a piece of pizza and I don't think it was the pizza, I think I ate it too fast, didn't chew it well and then took the meds. OMG it all came up.
I do hate taking all the pills. I hope that my doctor will get blood soon and tell me I can go off my meds that I have been taking for so long. I take so many I think they fill my pouch all alone. thanks for listening.

Glad it's getting better. I hope you can go off your meds soon too. It's a good feeling to be able to stop or reduce your medications. Just make sure to take your vitamins!

Definitely pizza! A huge no, no at 5 weeks or anytime. No wonder you got sick! No bread, rice, etc. It bloats and swells. Listen to your pouch! Protein coffee is the best! Stick with protein, veggies, fruit, and healthy fiber and you will melt away in no time.

Pizza is hard to give up. I have to think about how hard it is to work out for the half an hour to burn one slice. You're doing great.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
