Good Afternoon everyone, How's everyone doing today ? I'm noticing that I am losing my appetite and when I eat I'm feeling more full now than when I first had the surgery ! Does this happen to anyone else ? Can you please help me !! Celena

I am wearing some jeans today that I bought and I was never even able to get them past my knees!!!

Hello fellow junebugs i am doing good ---So far i have lost 75 pounds. ----I am going t o the gym approx 3 times a week, i try for more but life is buxy, ------i love crystal lite and sip on it all day probably do 60 or more ounces. ------------ For protein I aim for 70, i probably get at least 50. -Best thing i learned so far is i like getting dressed in the morning now, and finding an outfit i like rather than just one than fits me. -- -Biggest hurdle, is trying to tell myself that i like going to the gym. it doesnt thrill me yet, and i know it is vital for the wt loss and success.

Here is an update on my progress. Surgery was June 21st... ~~weightloss.... Down 75 lbs. ~~what kind of exercise are you doing and how often......Walking 2-3x's week ~~How Much Water/fluid aer you getting in between 64-80 oz ~~How much protein..... between 60 to 80 (thank you Nectar for the boost!) ~~Best thing that you have learned since your WLS ( it can be anything) I have learned that I don't need food to be liked. We don't have to do the restaurants all the time, we can do other things and its okay. ~~Biggest hurdle that you are dealing with as we get into month #3 Introducing foods into my diet. I hesitate to enter too many new foods. I have been doing lots of cottage cheese. It works.... This was a great post. Thanks

Hi. I see that there are a few more people posted who had surgery on June 21st. I am down 45 pounds My only exercise is walking 3-4 times per week (am going to go buy an elliptical machine. Any suggestions?) I still struggle to get in all of my fluids and protein. I love the new Carb Well bars by Post. 10 grams of protein per bar. Cannot tolerate any of the protein drinks I have tried so far. Don't even like the low carb milk. I am down 3 sizes and feel so energetic. Need to funnel that energy toward exercise as my weight loss has slowed down. Some foods are still a challenge. Seems like everyday is a new "experience in eating". Thanks for the post. Lisa
