Topic: 3 Months OUT!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Its been 3 months since my surgery and I'm down 75 lbs! Yes, 75! I can't believe it. I am half way to my goal. I'm down from a size 30/32 to a 20! I feel great and I haven't taken my blood pressure meds since the day of surgery! I'm graduating CMA in May. My life is really rolling now. I feel free, free from the fat! Hope everyone is doing well! God Bless, Ang

Topic: RE: 4 month anniversary

Congrats on your weight loss! I had my surgery on 6/2 and am down 65lbs. I think I am currently on a or hitting a plateau. I knew it was coming though. I haven't lost anything in a little over a week. I am still hopeful to get to -75lbs by 11/2. It is amazing to think I am half way there. Best Wishes! Carmen 293/229/175?

Topic: RE: plateau already??? 4 months out

I also hit a plateau. I had my surgery on June 17 and am down 130 lbs but i started out at 429 so I would lose a lot faster than most initially. I hit a plateau at 3 mos that lasted 3 weeks then I dropped 16 in one week then gained 6 back but i was also on steroids at the time. I haven't been able to work out yet but am doing a lot of house cleaning. i am hitting another plateau now and hope it will break soon. I do log my food religiously even when i have had some treats. the nutritionist said to stay at 60 grms of protein and that too many of the foods were too high in fat so now i am trying to stay at 900 cal a day per her instructions. Just keep looking at how far you have come and keep look at the positives. it should get moving again soon

KEEP IN MIND THAT MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT. WITH YOUR RECENT ADDITION OF THE WORKOUTS, YOU MAY BE BUILDING MUSCLE MASS AND THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE SCALE NOT TO MOVE. YOU MAY NOTICE INCHES SHIFTING FOR AWHILE BEFORE THE SCALES DROPS AGAIN.

Topic: RE: Protien - is it ever too much????

I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD STAY UNDER 100 GRAMS OF PROTEIN A DAY. IF YOU ARE EATING ENOUGH SOLIDS TRY DECREASING THE SHAKES, WE WERE TOLD TO USE SHAKES AS A LAST RESORT AND GET OUR PROTEIN FROM REAL FOOD. HOPE THIS HELPS.
