Hi guys, How is everyone doing?? I am doing very well. I am down 47 lbs! Yipee! 294-Day of surgery 247-Today! How is everyone's eating going? Do you all know about how many g of protien you get? How many calories? Thanks all! Kimberly

I am down about 54 lbs, but it i**** and miss the last week or two. I lost a bunch the first 2-3 weeks, since then it has slowed down a lot. 240 - Day of surgery 186 - Today. I try to get in about 60-80 grams of protein (today not so good, but I am not feeling great), 500-800 cals a day. Take care and congratulations on your loss. Alicia

I had my surgery on 8/13. I've lost 45 pounds since surgery, 66 pounds total. I'm getting in about 50-70 grams of protein a day. My daily calories are abot 900. I'm still having trouble with almost every kind of meat, unless it's shredded and in soup. I'm doing well with my other new foods, like salad and bread -- only difficulty seems to be with meat of any kind. Dietician says that this isn't uncommon, so although I'm frustrated sometimes I'm not too worried. I've added protein shakes back into my diet at least every other day to give my protein intake a boost.

I've lost 72 lbs!! 339 day of surgery 267 today I'm doing ok with my eating. I still can't eat much more than two ounces at a time even though the dietician told me I could move up to three. Getting in plenty of liquids. Vitamins are going ok except I have a hard time remembering to take my B12 once a week. Proteins are easy since I started drinking the No Sugar Added Carnation Instant Breakfast with unflavored Unjury. I'm not sure how many calories I'm taking in. Since I'm still only eating three two ounce meals a day I haven't bothered to keep track.

I'm down 55 pounds. I can get in about 60 oz of water a day and about 50 - 60 grams of protien. I have about 700 - 800 calories a day. Patty

Everyone is doing such a wonderful job!! I have been eating meat and keeping it down finally!! I am down 48 pounds now 330-day of surgery 282-today Lisa J.

I am down 46 pounds. I can eat anything as long as I chew it well and don't eat too fast. I tried steak and that didn't go so well, and I stay away from bread. I don't count protein or calories. I just try to be sensible and avoid snacking. I've been walking at least a mile almost every day. 281- and some change-Day of surgery 235-Today

Hello everyone! I had surgery on 8/11/04 but I haven't weighed in since I was exactly eight weeks post-op. I was supposed to go to my surgeon last week but had to cancel. Hopefully I will go next week because I am so curious! I don't weigh in on any other scale other than my surgeon or dietician (theirs is exactly the same). So, when I was 8 weeks out, I was -37 lbs since surgery! WOOHOO!! Hugs, Denise
