Topic: RE: average weight loss?
Well I  had  my  surgery  on  the  same  day and  I  have  lost  90 lbs . I  think  weight loss  depends  on  several  factors, I  know  that at  first  when  the  weight  was  coming  offf  quick  I  was  lazy  and  didnt  exercise ,but  now that it  is coming  off  slow  I  have   started  working  my  butt off  exercising.  Sometimes  it  is  good  to  talk  with  your  doctor  and  see  what  changes  may  be  necessary. Others  that  I  have  talked  to  said I  was doing  fine  and  seem  to  have  lost  more  than  normal. I  have  a  different  opinion ,because  I  thought  I  was  losing  too  slow too. You  may  have  to  increase  your  exercise . Good  luck to  you.

Topic: average weight loss?
I had surgery on August 25, 2009. I've lost 73 lbs.  It seems like the weight loss is really slowing down. And I had hoped to lose more by now.       For those that are about 6 months out, I was wondering about your total weight loss.  Just trying to judge if I'm doing okay.  I'm also wondering if any of you are 8-10 months out, and could tell me what to expect next.

I am having a very similar issue and I've noticed my weight loss has slowed waaaaay down. Today I've decided to do all liquids just because everything has been making me sick lately. I'm not really sure what to do, I had a therapist tell me once though that when I feel like snacking to paint my nails. I've been trying that and that does help some! I also agree that carbs and sugar will make you crave more. I'm just going to be really strict for awhile and see how it goes!

Good luck!!

All I can say to this is that te more carbs I eat, the more I want. So three days ago Iwent back to the DS basics and owered my carbs quite a bit. Since I have done that I noticed that I really don't want carby munchies. My advse is to resolve to keep your protein high and your carbs under 40 or so for te day.

Anyone that had surgery around end of Aug, beginning of Sept, OMG  I have the munchies all the time.

I try to make it protein chips, or meat, but It sticks out as, well, not right?


Anybody, I dont care how far out you are, please advise, and give me your insight, opinions, etc. . .
