my surgeon

went to my 3 mo. check up. and my MD. SAYS you have not lost enough. boy i thought 60 lbs. was a lot. well for me it is. and he says i can only eat 3 times a day, no snacks. is this the way it is for anyone eles.

HELLO, I dident have a 3mo checkup, I see mine at 6 mos. How much did he want you to lose?? I've only lost about 70lb. to me that's OK, Just like everyone I wi**** was more, but I'm happy for now, The last couple of weeks I've only droped a couple of pounds, but better then gaining, right!!! Dont let them get you down, try and fallow what they say... I think I have been snaking tomuch on nuts, but they go down with no problem, unlike meat.. I still have problems with almost all meats. You take care, and Have a Happy Holiday. Edna

I have only lost 60 also, I thought that was good, have not seen my surgeon since 4 wks post op, Yes my plan was 3 meals w/out any snacking but I do snack sometimes but I know I do not eat enough at meal time, I started at 288 I did think I would have lost more but i'm happy w/ results, I need to exercise more that is my biggest problem.

I had my 16 week checkup last Thursday, I've lost 52 lbs. since surgery and my doctor and dietician were very happy!! They explained that everyone loses weight differently and much depends on how much you have to lose. I eat 3 meals a day and don't snack, I have a protein shake each morning as well. Don't be too hard on yourself, you've come along way and just keep up the good work.

That's awful, in my opinion. My nut says they expect their patients to loose 1/2 of their excess weight by 6 months. For me that would be around 75 at 6 months. I've lost 50 since surgery and I think that is pretty dang good. Especially considering I lost 60 before surgery. I see my surgeon on Wed, so we'll see what he has to say.

I just read your post... i just had my 3 month too, I lost about 70 from 303 and all my labs were good. My doc was happy with where I am and more over so am I. I eat prety much what I want but I think the concern over snacking is a long term thing. We are going to loose now prety much what ever we eat but later it will get harder... I have slowed down now and I am looking at slowing my snacking and adding mire walking to revamp...
