Topic: RE: 2 oz of food - AGAIN?

Hi Laura, I haven't been to my sixth month appt. yet -- that comes at the end of next month so I don't know what the doc will say abnout my serving sizes... (which is around three oz. of chicken/turkey/shrimp etc with one small high-protein snack a day) But I do know my doctor doesn't allow any protein shakes or bars at all after about the third month.

I am with you, my hunger is returning and 2oz seems hard to do. Then again I got to 275 by eating...so who knows. I will cut back a little, and shakes are just hard enough to get down, I can see having one before eating, but after just stumped me! Thanks for responding!

Topic: RE: Pumpkin seeds

Melissa, I have been hooked on sunflower seeds for the last month or so. I don't know if its me craving the salt but they are good. They have 9 grams of protein in them. I do like pumkin seeds but not as much as sunflower seeds. JaNae

I didn't realize pumpkin seeds were so high in protein. I've been craving salty things so this may just do the trick!! Thanks Chawan

Topic: RE: Longest stall?

I'm stalled right now too. I've noticed that the closer I get to goal the more often I stall. I try to look at it as my body trying to settle into this new weight. I've never been this small before. It can be very depressing but I always seem to drop a size during a stall so...look out 10s here I come!! Hoping your stall ends soon, Chawan

I have stayed at 182 to 185 for five weeks now. I keep finding some clothes that fit a little bit better. I am diabetic and my numbers are improving. I am holding my own. I am NOT freaking out. I keep reading the posts and proiles of folks who have passed a year since WLS. This, too, shall pass. Since surgery, I have lost 58 pounds. My ultimate goal is 100 pounds so I am happy.
