losing slow

I had my surgery on 9/28/04 and I have only lost 38 pounds, what can I do to increase wt loss???

Jacelyn, make sure you are eating protien first, and drinkin water. Are you taking your required amount of protein each day? Do not give up. Sandra

Are you counting calories? I find it very helpful to keep track on fitday.com. Make sure you're not drinking a lot of calories, stick to water and sugar free drinks. Also, at this stage you shouldn't be consuming many carbs..... protein, protein, protein. Good Luck

Hi Jacelyn, First of all it seems as though you are right within the normal range of weightloss. So perhaps the best place to start is to congradulate yourself for losing 38 pounds in such a short period of time. I find maintaining a positive attitutude key to my personal success. Also I exercise about 3-5 times a week and that really sped up my weightloss. Good luck to you Hugs, Sara VBG 9/17/04 356/293/175
