For those of you who had your surgery on march 23-

I don't feel so alone. I am only 4"7 and my surgery weight was 207. I am now 182. I hop on the scale every morning. I feel like I have lost weight but the scale isnt showing it. I will try the protein shake before bed. This is really bad of me, I cant remember the last time I had a protein shake. I got out of the habit of drinking them. Since the day I came home, I have never measured and weighed my food. I know I can eat 4oz of low carb yogurt, I can eat a small peach. a leg and thigh of chicken a small whole japanese eggplant. At times I wonder if I had the surgery. I though my weight loss would go much faster. I blame myself for not drinking enough water and walking more. I have always been lousy at drinking enough fluids thoughout the day. I didnt walk every day those first 4 weeks. I might be my own worst enemy. My surgery almost killed me. I had complications that kept me in the hospital for 13 days. I am not going to give up. I love to eat fruit and I find that it is very hard to give up. I love veggies too. I love carbs and that seems to be my biggest battle right now. I am going to try and hit the gym everyday, drink more water and make sure I get those 2 protein drinks in and see if that helps. I still feel so fat.

I had my surgery on the 23rd also. As of last Tuesday I am down 39lbs. I was on a plateau for 3 weeks only eating 700 calories a day and I was told to up it to about 1000. When I did that I lost 13 in 2 weeks. It will happen, don't worry like I was. Cindy

I see my dr on thursday. Maybe he will have some insight on this for me

Hi Thanks for asking. I am down 37 pounds with 50 left to go. I am afraid because I can eat anything and more than a cup of food at a time. I think I look a lot better. My dh and dd both tell me that I do too. Louise
