How's everyone Weight Loss & eating going?
I'm 2mths & 6 days out from surgery & so far I feel I'm doing pretty good..
Pre-op: 255lbs
Today: 208lbs
Lose of: 47lbs!!
I'm so glad I had my RNY.
I am having a little problem with getting my protein.. I still haven't found a shake that I can drink without wanting to throw it right back up. I'm going to try the Adkins shakes & if that doesn't work I'm going to have to order some from online somewhere..
As far as food I'm doing really well.. I've been on solids since a month out. Red meat still doesn't go down well, so I've been staying away from those. Moist chicken, pork, turkey & any seafood are great. I do have to watch how fast I eat, I'm so use to eating fast from working in an Operating room that I have to slow myself down all the time.
How is everyone else doing?
I had my surgery on 9/17/07.
Pre-op: 260 lbs.
Today: 206 lbs.
Loss of 54 lbs.
This is my first time posting. I'm feeling great from the surgery, although it took about 4 weeks to get my energy back. My biggest problems are getting in enough protein and also getting in enough water. I can't drink the water plain; I have to put a slice of lemon in it so that I can get it down. I don't like any of the artificially sweetened drinks, so lemon has been the only thing to work so far.
I still have to slow myself down when I eat. This is especially true when I'm eating with someone. I tend to get caught up in dinner conversation and forget about my eating "rules." If I'm eating alone, I'm okay.
I started back at the gym last week. Made it there 3 times, and did a half hour of cardio each time. Tonight, I'm planning on beginning some weight training also.
I am doing pretty good. I have been able to eat a few "reg." foods. Lowfat lunch meat, Cheese and CRACKERS! Chili but I haven't lost anything in over a week so I'm getting alittle impatient. My surgery was Sept. 27 and I have lost 35 lbs. But now I am stuck at 235. I have a lot of problems w/ Constipation. But the nausa has subsided for the most part. So all in all I guess i am doing pretty well.
Also just found that Slim fast has a low carb Shake. Don't taste great but it's tolerable.
I am really tired of the shakes but I know it is the only way to ensure that I am getting enough protien.

I had the Lapband surgery & I am doing great! I am eating regular foods only in smaller quantities. I already had my first "fill" and it is working great. I have found that I can not eat bread unless it is toasted. Other than that, I have not had any problems.
I am just happy to be traveling this road with so many wonderful people!
I wish everyone great success!!

I did gain 1/2 a pound over Thanksgiving....but have just today...started daily biathalons (biking and walking). I am pumped and focused on my next 20 pounds!!
See it to achieve it!!
