Heck no! I really don't know how you are going to get in that much protien with that little bit of calories! Girl you may want to contact your nutritionist or dietician...just as a second opinion. And don't worry about your weight loss. 56lbs is great at only 3 mos. You are in control and exercise makes a big different. I loose 2x as much on the weeks I exercise 3 or more times than the weeks i dont. Carmen LAP RNY 6/2/04 293/234/175?

Topic: RE: discouraged and disappointed

Hi BJ, I don't dump on sugar either, it is so scary. I feel like I can eat more than I should, I haven't lost any weight in the last 3 weeks. I do feel down, so many people have such high hopes for me that it does put presure on to see results. We have to give ourselves a break, all we can do is keep checking what we are doing that we are following the plan we set. We are so new to this, I try to tell myself not to freak out at least until Chrismas time or the 6 month point, if I haven't lost a decent amount by then I will start worring and getting help where ever I can find it. I even bought Dr. Phills book (Im not a Dr. Phill fan!) But I thought it can't hurt and I have heard good things about it. I bought it second hand through Amazon so it didn't cost much. All I can think of is I have to keep paying attention.. I can't just let my weight go back up without a fight. It is so scary, the worst part is I'm afraid of myself!

In the Success with Weight loss Surgery book that I just received in the mail.. can't remember the author but I got it on the bariatrics advantage website..... and she( the author) said if you want to know how big your pouch is...... first thing in the morning before you have eaten anything.... measure out and eat as much cottage cheese as you can in a very short amount of time.... ****il you feel full) then pour measured water back into the cotage cheese container... to see how many oz you can put into your pouch. I didn't understand why you couldn't just measure the cottagecheese and then use that as your amount.... but I didn't write the book....lol. Anyways.. I hope this helps..

..I also worry that ... this won't work or that I am consuming too much food.... and i hate the feeling of hunger...it actually terrifies me. So hang in there..you are NOT alone.... in this battle we have been facing....fear of failure...is my biggest hurdle....because I have experienced it sooo many times before.... DOn't allow yourself to self-prophesy your mind into failing either... just keep your chin up.... do what you know is right for your diet..( protein, water, and exercise) and it will get better.

Topic: RE: please update wt loss here for sept

Start Weight: 267lbs Surgery Date: 6/7/04 Im down 64lbs - 203lbs I have not dumped, I drink ab 40-60 ozs fluids and 40-60gms protein. I am glad to say that I tolerate everything, but I dont eat them. I only have a spoon or bite of carbs once a week. I concentrate on protein and weightloss. I have not hit a plateau yet, but Im scared that I will soon will. Only thing is my hair is falling galore but dealing with it.

Topic: RE: IT's Sept! JuneBugs-- How R U Doin?

Hi to all, I have lost 52# since open RNY 6-2-04. I don't get in enough protein, and I could use some more water. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Best thing is smaller clothes and I can walk without resting. Biggest hurdle is the protein, any suggestions??? Deb 240/188
