calling all March 2004 post-ops

Welcome to the board Shannon! Dina

I had my surgery 3-4-04 and have lost 72 lbs and have been on a stand still for 3 weeks. Down 4 dress sizes. Work out 3/week and walk 3-4 miles every day. B-Protein shake with skim milk L-Lean Cusine Spaghetti D-3 oz grilled scallops, 1 TBS spinach, small garden salad with 1 oz fetta cheese and Balsamic vinegar with small amount olive oil dressing. s-1 cup microwave light popcorn(just had to!!!) This was a high carb day for me. Usually keep it on the low side. 86g of protein total for the day. 345/273 and stalled. Any advice would be helpful.

Becky - the only advice I have for you is to take a deep breath and wait it out. I'm always stalling...eventually it starts moving downward again though... Dina

Hey Misty!!! My gosh I haven't seen you here in ages!!! Last I heard was months ago and you were back in the hospital. I hope you're all better now. Kimmer kept us up-to-date for a while, but now she's fallen off the face of the planet, along with many other Marchers. Hope all is well in your world. Happy thoughts, Va Was/Am/Wannabe 232/171/130

Hi all, I had my surgery on 3/16/04. Since then, I've lost exactly 61 pounds. I also lost 36 pounds prior to surgery so I'm down a total of 97 pounds. Yeahhhhh. Breakfast - 6oz yogurt snack - 1oz string cheese lunch - 2 oz chicken salad snack - protein drink dinner - 2 oz chcken salad, 1/2 slice rye bread Snack - 4 sugar free popsicles I also had 6 glasses of water. I usually manage to get my minimum of protein but it is always a struggle to get my liquids. Arlene 367 when I first met my surgeon 331 on surgery day 270 on thursday when I met with my nutritionist

I had surgery on 3/17/04. I was 312 and I am now 226 that is 86 lbs! I was in a size 26 and I am now in a size 18 and some 16's. I had a water intolerance until about 2 weeks ago so drinking was a problem for me as nothing tasted good. I am still never hungry and have to remember to eat. That still makes me laugh! I still do not tolerate most of meats, potatoes, lactose and any breads except pita bread. Let's see yesterday B 1 packet oatmeal S granola bar L 1/2 protein bar and 1/2 an apple s 4 lite wheat thins and handfull of peanuts (I was on a plane) d 4 bites salad and 2 pieces gyro meat with cucumber sauce s 1/2 protein bar drinks 1 cup decaf coffee, 24 oz decaf iced tea with equal, 12 oz water, 1/2 diet coke I struggle with vitamins as I have never liked to take medicine on a regular basis. I do not like the protein shakes. I exercise at Curves 3 times a week and walk 3 times a week. I need to improve some things but I am plugging along! Good luck and congradulations to all of you fellow Marchers!
