Hi, I had surgery the same day as you. I too cannot tolerate the protein. It has been extremely difficult.  I do not tolerate sweets either. I have to say I try to eat cheese, chicken, salmon, pork, to try and get protein. I am unable to eat much at a time still. I can do two teaspoons of reduced fat peanut butter it gives you 7g of protein. I have lost 63lbs. It has been a trial. I have many days of not being able to tolerate much and I do not have much appetite. I do like fruit though and tolerate seafood the best. Red meat is a no go for me. I too still have problems with fluid but I did recently start drinking sprite zero and tolerate it well. What a nice change from water all the time. Good luck to ya.

 Hey - my date was 6/16.  I really do want to try to get a group going here so as we get further out we can kind of touch base to make sure we are on track.  I have a friend on another board (well, she's on this one, too) who hit a wicked stall at about 9 months.  She was getting quite depressed, and I think if she'd had someone from the same time it might have felt not so bad.  I was kind of hoping to get halfway to a normal BMI by my third month anniversary, but I think I'll be a few pounds short.  It's still wonderful to be only 58 pounds away from my goal!

I haven't started heavy duty exercise yet - just walking every day, from one to three miles.  I'm kind of on the fence about the whole gym thing.  It really isn't my bag. 

I had a major stall during that time also. However, my measurements went down, and I went to a smaller size of clothes even though that darn scale wasn't moving. It isn't all abou the number

Close, I had my RNY done on June 30th!  How have you been doin?  Uh oh, I forgot to look at what surgery you had? 

Much love,
Mandy

Great job!
