Hi Jen, My surgery was 8/8 and I'm down 58. Sounds like you're doing great. I can't get that much protein in either. I'm getting better with the water though. Good luck Carol

Nope - I do not even come close to my goal (I need 75 grams a day) without at least one shake or downing a profect! Mabye eventually we will get there!

I'm 11 weeks out too and down 57 lbs. I just realized that today and was stunned. 57 sounds like so much. I have a goal being below 200 by my birthday (end of Feb.). That's only about 7 lbs. a month so I think I'll make it alright and maybe a little extra. The weight has really slowed but still loosing lots of inches. Congratulations with your loss and keep up the good work. Carol

Congratulations on such a promising start !!! You have the right attitutde and I am sure you will reach your goals !! Thanks for reminding us that we need to make our goals attainable, and reaslistic.. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

I had my RNY on 8/2 and am now 12 weeks post op. I have lost 46 pounds since the day of surgery and 55lbs from pre-op diet. I am 64 pounds from goal. Here is what I eat: shrimp, crab legs and ct fish ( seafood goes down the best for me and has soooo much protein) steak, pork chops, and a tiny amt of ground hamburger for spagetti and slp dishes. I do not eat alot of vegetables just cause I am so focused on protein, but do enjoy, brocolli, green beans, squash and a potato maybe 3 times since surgery. I also enjoy mango's, cantalope and strawberries for treats rarely and sf popsicles. I am lactose intolerant since surgery so no milk. I can do yogurt for protein shakes. I can not tolerate chicken, eggs and milk products. I have never dumped and dont plan to lol. I have thrown up from eating too quickly or trying those listed items. I still work out and have so much more energy!!!!! hugs, Tanya
