happy 6 month anniversary guys!!!!

I have lost 90 pounds so far and I am still losing rapidly. But the thing is, I wander why I have problems eating. Is it in my head or my stomach dont like the food that I present. I still have a hard time with eating protein. I was thinking that I may need to get back on my protein shakes until this faze is over.

Hi Kisha, congratulations on losing 90 pounds to date! Regarding your 'having problems eating', please consult your surgeon's clinic to rule out any mitigating factors, ok? Have you been trying an honest variety of foods? I'm six months out today (hey, it's 12:05 1/25 here, and at my six-month followup appointment Tuesday, at 5' 1/2" height, started at 239 and currently 153, for 86 pounds gone forever! Please, please check with your WLS clinic and let them know your're having eating problems. Have you any appetite? I've still got absolutely no hunger nor appetite/cravings, and now that the 'honeymoon phase' of most rapid weight loss ends, I'm not concerned, being such a chore remembering to eat those three one-cup meals, mostly protein daily. Protein choices: broad variety of fish, lean pork, chicken, fat-free cottage cheese, Egg Beaters, string part-skim mozzarella cheese, soy milk (vanilla, chocolate, chai, capuccino, and plain with varied extracts added. Best of best wishes to you as you proceed toward your first goal! Hugs, Patti

Hi Kisha! I have trouble eating sometimes, too. I just don't WANT to eat all that meat/protein sometimes. BUT I am doing it anyway, I want to be healthy as well as at a normal weight . . . Some days it feels like I could eat everything in sight, other days a couple of bites is MORE than enough. I suspect it is normal at this point ~smiles~ Congratulations on the 90 pounds lost! Jezia
