Topic: RE: I am finally losing.
Im going through the same thing. Ive lost 33 lbs since surgery(Mine was 8/19/03 too). But Im only losing about a pound a week since if even that. I too am eating only 1/4 cup of food at a time, no snacks and walk 30 minutes a day on my lunch hour. Im very frustrated. I thought it would come off faster. Im not doing the protien shakes because my doctor doesnt recommend them, I could really use some advice too.
Topic: Since 8/25
I've lost 41 lbs. I just started gaining energy but seem to lack motivation. One day I hope I build up the courage & drop enough weight to fit into a bathing suit. I so much want to submerge myself in a large body of water.....ahhhhh!!
Topic: RE: 2 months ago today
I will be 2 mos. out on the 19th. Up until 2 weeks ago my energy level was nearly non existant. I hadn't been excercising very often because of this. I decided I was just going to excercise no matter what my energy level. About 1 week after walking daily I got so much energy it is unbeleivable. I feel so good now and have a ton more energy then I used to. I am abble to walk 3 iles every day. Remember everyone is different. I have read it can take 3-6 mos. before you get your energy back. I was also losing slowly until I cut carbs out of my diet. Now i just eat meat, veggies, cheese, and peanuts. I dropped 6 lbs this weekend alone since cuting out the carbs last Thursday.
Good Luck to you.

hi,
I am 2 months out as well. I have lost 32 lbs, I think we are doing about average with our weight loss, cant complain too much. My energy is a little better but I thought I'd be running marathons too at this point. But just be a little patient, it takes time to get back to things the way you thought you would. SOme days are better than others, but all in all I am thankful and feeling healthier. This time next year no one will be able to keep up with you!. Just make sure you go to the doctor for monthly checkups and bloodwork.

I had my Lap RNY 2 months ago today. I used to have a ton of energy and now I have none. I don't know why. I am drinking and eating like I am supposed to, I also take my vitamins every day like a ritual. I just can't seem to get into the groove of life. I have also only lost 38.8 pounds since surgery. I really thought that I would have lost more than that by now.
I am not depressed, I am just exhausted. Anyone else feel like me?

Thanks for the replys. I am now 8 weeks out and down 46 lbs!!! I am still having the OJ with beneprotein for breakfast and then the 2 meals. I have also been staying away from carbs. Luckily sugars make me sick so I am not even remotely tempted to try them. I am also walking 3 miles a day and also lifting weights for 1/2 an hour. I recently incorporated 8 Minute Abs into my excercise routine. I feel so good and have so much energy. I am hoping the excercise will help eliminate loose skin.
