75 lbs out in 3 months

After reading other posts, I am beginning to feel like a snail in the losing category. Eating is such an issue with me, I hate to eat and do it because I have to. anyone else having that problem? I had my surgery on July 28, 2003.

Yes I have that problem many days. Then every once in a while I am actually hungry! That happens if I am out all day and have not been able to drink my water. I also have food issues where nothing sounds good to me anymore and I am tired of eating the same old things, that I feel are high protein and low carb! I have been on a plateau all this week for some reason happened week before last too, I don't know why! I do loads of protein, water and exercise and still have lost 65, not as much as most others, but I am happy with it and about 65% to goal already, with 40-45 left to lose, so I am ok with it. I think you are doing great with 75 in three months! Keep up the great work, and hopefully our interest in food will improve a little, not too much though since we don't want to go back to habits of pre-surgery, right?! Laurie

Yup, I hate to eat too. My PCP said that one of the reasons I could be slow at losing (though she does not think I am slow) is because I only get about 500 calories in a day so my body is really holding onto them. The ONLY time I lose is when I exercise. I keep plugging away. I did finally hit 180 lbs. 40 more to go till I hit my dieticians goal, 50 before I hit mine. At this point I will be more then happy with my dieticians goal. BTW, my surgery was on July 15th.
