Normal weight loss to date?

surgery date for me was 3/24 and to date I have lost 163lbs, drink protein shake for breakfast every day, lunch and dinner are only at the most 4 ounces each, usually no snacking, very limited carbs, some times the 4 ounces is not going down, more list 2 -3, I drink lost of water, and crystal light every so often, mostly jus****er, go to th gym, ride bike, treadmill, lift light weights, more reps,

Hello, I had surgery 3/9 I have lost 87lbs. My doctor said not to stop carbs just limit and choose good carbs. He said if taking out carbs altogether might set me up for a down fall later. Like many of us have done with Atkins. I eat fruit and do make sure I eat protein, my doctor said try to get at least 20 ounces of water a day. So my expectations are real. I don't beat myself up if I have a cracker or a cookie I jus****ch the intact. You can't deprive yourself of everything or once you try carbs you will go crazy, That's what I did on Atkins after losing 117lbs. gained almost everything back. Eat a well balanced meal. Healthy. Your doing doing great I think. Good Luck Stacey 331/244/160
