Hi all,

I had laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery on February 24, 2009.  I was on this site A LOT to do research before the surgery but I have never posted on here so I guess that makes me new.

I have lost a total of 45 pounds (including the weight I lost on my liquid diet), about 35 since my surgery date.  I am trying SOOOO hard to do everything right, sticking to the food plan provided by my surgeon as best I can, taking my vitamins, exercising 6 days a week and just generally being very active, however, I am stalled and have been for almost 3 weeks now.  I know that it is common for people to stall occasionally but I guess my question is if it is common so early out??  I am REALLY trying not to be discouraged but it's hard.  I am trying so hard and am not seeing any results and those thoughts that "maybe this won't work for me" or "I am never going to lose the weight" keep entering my mind and it's making it difficult to stay focused on the big picture.

Sorry, I don't mean complain, don't get me wrong, I am so happy for the weight I have already lost, I am feeling better physically then I have in a long time, I guess I could just use some advise!

Thanks all!!

That's awesome!!!!   

Gone, forever!

Hey how do you prepare your Tilapia? Mine NEVER turns out right, always like rubber.
Thanks, RObin

I was just 'cleared' today to eat things other than 'high protein', so my diet will probably seem 'strict' to some ....


B - 2 LF Sargento Mozz. Sticks (8g protein each), 1 hard boiled egg  (6g protein) 
L - 3 oz chicken or 3 oz tuna 'salad' made w/ LF mayo
D - 3-4 oz. chicken, or turkey  [has been chicken breast, turkey breast, ground turkey patties, turkey meatballs, and sliced 'lunch meat']  .... occassionally I'll have 3-4 oz. fish instead

S - SF jello, or SF popsicles or SF pudding



If I'm not in a 'food' mood for breakfast, I'll grab a SlimFast Carb Consious Shake.
