Question:
I am disappointed in my weight lose--only 25lbs surgery 7-22-08.
I have been walking about an hour every morning now that the doctor released me for exercise. I don't understand why my weight is not falling off like others. I am drinking alot of water, and protein shakes, eating small meals during the day and watching sugar levels. I want this weight to come off. Any suggestions? — Toby2 (posted on September 24, 2008)

I also had my surgery July 22nd, everyone is different, I have lost about
45 pounds, but I started walking 3 days after surgery, got released for
exercise about 3 weeks after surgery. I swim 6 days a week, walk alot, use
treadmill, stationary bike and a couple exercise equipment that my g/f has
set up at her house. I am sure if you keep exercising, and eating 4 small
meals a day, make sure you get plenty of protein and liquids. Best of Luck
to you.

I just had my surgery 9/2/008 & I am having some problems with not
losing as fast as I'd like (13lbs) & I was told that the more protein
you have the faster you will lose. I was drinking some of the slim fast
& I guess alot of people don't drink that because of the carbs so I was
told to get the powder protein & make my own drinks & put it in
pudding & stuff & that would help. I don't know if this was much
help SORRY & good luck just know you are NOT ALONE in this.

You need to get in 70 grams of protein a day. At this point it should been
in 5 to 6 small meals a day. Don't eat any vegtables or fruit till you get
in the 70 grams of protein. You should also be drinking al least 64 oz. of
fluid a day. No more than 11 grams of fat at one meal and between 24-47
grams of fat a day. Also, don't use anything that has more than 2 grams of
sugar in it. Change you exercise routine and give your body at least one
day of rest. Hope this helps! Good luck.

My surgery was also 7-22-08... I stayed at 25 weight loss for weeks. I
finally changed up my routine and had a breakthrough! Now I've lost 45
total and am doing and feeling better about things. So my advice is to
CHANGE UP your Routine (exercise different and/or eat different foods).
Good Luck!

i realize everyone is different, however i think i would get a dietian
involved. perhaps they can help. this is alot of hard work. if they can't
help make an appointment with the doctor.
good luck
