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.

Hello, I'm 2 months post-op. Pre-op: 285 lbs Today: 256 lbs Loss of: 29 lbs 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!! ~ Lisa

Fellow lap-bander! Pre-Op 279 Currently 250.1 Surgery (9/21/07) I too am eating regular foods...choosing to stay with protein...and maybe 1 carb a day.
