1-month update/18-days no loss...

hi all, yesterday i had my one-month surgeon checkup and met with the nutritionist to be 'advanced' on foods. i've officially lost 22.5 pounds since surgery on 9/15. yea! finally, i broke my 18-day zero weight-loss cycle and dropped a few pounds between wed & thurs. i feel much better and am not at all queasy anymore. i confessed all to the nutritionist, including that i had a few handfuls of nuts (chewed into oblivion and beyond before i swallowed!), that i'd been eating some very soft/wet fish (an ounce or two of grilled salmon), that i'd had some egg salad and a little bit of tuna fish. lol. yesterday i bought sashimi (it's like sushi without any rice - just plain raw fish). it was tuna & salmon. i soaked them in fresh lemon juice and soy sauce (the kind with no sugar). they were fantastic! i had 2 pieces for each meal, with a total of 6 pieces (about 2 ounces total). i had no trouble with it. yummy. i couldn't find the exact protein grams anywhere but i think that they're very high in protein. i used to live on sushi and i'm happy i can tolerate the fish still. working on my water while i type this. susan

CONGRATS SUSAN ON YOUR WEIGHTLOSS IM NOT SURE HOW MUCH PROTEIN IS IN SUSHI,BUT IM SURE IT'S ALOT BECAUSE FISH HAS ALOT OF PROTEIN IN IT. TAKE CARE EBONY

Well WTG, I am so glad to hear your losing weight again. I think a lot of us have been experiencing this. I am glad your finding things that suit you and taste yummy too. Did your nutritionist say anything about the nuts? I was wondering when or if we can ever have those. Shannon

hi shannon, my nutritionist didn't seem too pleased about the nuts but i wanted to confess! she didn't give me the ok or say that i couldn't have them. she did say that sometimes you just have some comfort food (i told her i needed to crunch something and that i chew every bite at least 30 times so it was kind of like peanut butter). so she didn't give the ok. i'm going to try and hold off. susan

I am right there with you... I am at 2 1/2 weeks with no loss and I am going nuts. I am getting about 60 gms of protein a day and my fluids and walking 3xs/week for about 2 miles and still stuck. I would go eat a box of brownie mix but what would be the point... don't want to know what dumping feels like.... I keep telling myself it will kick back in soon.... I'm trying to be patient but darn its hard.

Congrats on the weight loss, if you want to find the nutritional value of certain foods go to the fda website.
