You are doing so wonderful!!! Don't worry about people who have lost more in the same amount of time. They may have a lot more to loose over all. Keep up the good work.

Well, my doc recomends 60 to 100 grms of protien a day but he also expects me to eat 800 to 1000 cal a day at 3 months out. Now at 3 weeks out I couldn't do more than 400-450 Cal a day but now I always get to 800 It is still difficult to get all my protein in but it seem to be worth the effort sence I loose more if I am consistent. You are doing a great job. Just keep doing what you're doing.

You are doing so great!!! Keep it up!!!!!

Hi Shawna, A friend who also had WLS recommended this website to help get over your plateaus. I, like you, was in a 4 week plateau and not feeling really encouraged at all especially when reading about people with surgery dates close to mine losing 50+lbs and I am stuck at -40lbs. I went here and this week I have been trying some of their recommendations, the scales finally moved again. So check it out to see if you can use some of the information. By the way, congrats on your 70lb loss. http://www.lowcarb.org/plateaus.html

Actually my surgeon says a minimum of 50 g of protein a day for women and 60g for men. I think I may need to up it though. thans for replying! Shawna
