Topic: RE: Where are the JUNE BABIES at?
I check the boards several times a day, but I don't post very often. Don't know why, just don't. I started at 298 and just checked in at the doctors on Monday and was 187!! Anyone else?

Topic: RE: How are my June 06 buddies doing? Check in time :)
Hi all,
WOW indeed you are all doing so GREAT!!!!!! I've only lost 84# since initial weigh in but 95 since my heaviest.
I know that's still alot but would like it to go faster.
Am having real problems with hangy skin.....arms, belly thighs. Anyone else?
I still have about 25 grams of protein shake per day. Can't seem to get in my 50-70 grams if I don't.
Is anyone having taste problems since surgery? I know I should think it fortunate but most foods taste awful. All bread products and even some meats. The only thing that still tastes as I remember it should is cheese.
Keep up the good work. I'm so proud of all of you.
Life is good.

Topic: RE: How much are you eating per day
Hello Lisa congrats on your weight loses your doing great! As for me I eat between 700 -800 calories per day I am told I should be eating more but I'm doing the best I can. As for the protein shake yes I still have one per day and I will until I am 1 yr post-op because that is what my doc wants. I can't eat red meat of any kind or drink milk because it makes me really, really sick... Then again I have a really picky tummy I can never tell what's going to upset it or not! What I can eat one day I may not be able to eat the next... Oh well!
Topic: RE: How much are you eating per day
I am terrible and don't keep track. I've had the stomach flu and so am not eating much lately. However, I try to eat six small meals a day. Never did protein shakes as my doctor doesn't believe in them. He thinks we need to eat healthy and get our proteins, minerals, and vitamins there. I cannot do milk and milk products as they make me sick. I don't tolerate them well. However, everything else seems to go OK. I'm careful to really chew food well. I started at heaviest weight of 316ish, consult weight of 308, surgery weight of 303 and am now down to 173 -175.
Congratulations on your weight loss. Sounds like you're doing a great job. 
Topic: RE: How much are you eating per day
I aim for around 1000 calories a day, 40-60g protein and 60-80g carbs. I no longer do the protein shakes (my surgeon only wants his patients drinking them for the first 3-4 months) but sometimes drink the Isopure protein drinks if I am having a bad protein week. I can tolerate pretty much everything I eat... only thing I find is some salsas bothers my pouch and a lot of the fake sugars give me gas (I am fine with real sugar and spenlda thou!). I have found that the texture of fried foods (especially chicken and french fries) dont move thru my pouch well so I avoid (which is a good thing!!). Congrats on your weight loss so far!!! That is great! My highest was 288, at surgery 252 and am now 180... just 25 more pounds until goal!

Lisa,
Wow, you are doing great. I am eating about 900 calories a day as far as i can tell.I still do 2-3 protein drinks a day and 3 meals. I really dont have anything i cant eat-some things i havent tried like high fat or sugar- but some foods fill me up really fast like pork and steak. If i do not do protein drinks, i eat atkins bars or something equivalant. Keep up the good work! teri
Topic: How much are you eating per day
Hello,
I am six months out today. Down from 242.5 to 158.5. Questions - how many calories do you eat per day? Are you still doing protein shakes? If so, how many? Is there anything that you still can't eat? For me it is chicken breast, no matter how I cook it, it does not like me.
Any responses will be greatly appreciated.
thank!
Lisa
Topic: RE: So here you are !
I'm down 96lbs since my surgery. It's nice to know we all seem to be struggeling with the same demons. I to have chicken wings and now also have a hernia that needs to be repaired as it's getting bigger. Oh well good luck to all of us. I've been lurking at the posts for a while and thought I might check in for a change. Have a great day!!!!
Topic: RE: So here you are !
Sounds like you both are doing great ! I can't wait to get down to where you are. I hope I can scrape up the $$$ for plastics when I get closer to goal. I'd love to have new boobs and lose some of the arm flab.
