I am thinking about mixing things up a bit this week.  I have been on a strict 500 to 600 calories, less than 30 carbs, over 60 grams of protein since I started on solid foods and I am losing only about 2 or 2.5 pounds a week.  Not bad but I feel like I could do that eating 1500 calories a week! I am going to up my calories to at least 600 a day and try to get in at least 80 grams of protein a day and start exercise classes at my gym.  Maybe try upping my carbs to 40 one day then back down to 20 the next and so forth.... Can't really hurt to try! Let's hope for better numbers next week!!

I have nothing else to say except that when I read your results, I thought wow great job, she must be happy. Unfortunately I read the rest of your post and it is sad to read that 2.8 pounds is not enough for you! You should be happy! You should celebrate your victory. I so lost 2 pounds this week and I am so proud and happy! Are you asking your body to much? Sorry but I feel sad for how hard you are on yourself and wanted to tell you how happy for you I was when I started reading your post!

Thanks, Karine. You're right, I may be expecting a little too much. I guess that's always my issue, I always want more!! Lol (that's how I got to 362!!!)

I'm struggling with a plan that works for me that I want to have long term. My surgeon really didnt give me a plan and I know in the VSG forum, low carb is preached as the almighty holy grail... And that's what I've been doing but it feels just like another diet to me. And i dont feel like I'm doing as good as i could be. I don't want to exclude entire food groups from my eating plan for the rest of my life. So I'm going to take a break from that forum for awhile until I get my plan in place and am confident it's going to work for me. Thanks for ur reply! U r totally right!

I totally understand how you feel! I refused to eat any carbs, with the exeption of a fruit a day, for 7 months. Now, since the last month, i allowed myself one more fruit and a piece of bread ONCE A WEEK. I also felt like it was a diet. I do not want to ne on a diet.

When talking avout carbs, you jave to understand that the refined carbs are bad. So flour, whote rice, white pasta etc... And it is all a question of quantity.

Fruits are not a bad carb. I know some people do not even eat fruits. It is non sense to me but it's their conception of carbs and I can't change that. Did it make me lose slower? I don't think so. Bit who knows, maybe! But to me, it's healthier that way!

Book suggestion: if
You're gonna eat at the refrigirator, pull up a chair

Pshh what ever! I stalled around 305 for WEEKS this last month, now I'm stuck at 301 too I guess. I'm telling you the 300's do NOT want to let go! They are holding me for dear life! I think I need to step things up this week, I've been a little discouraged and been in a bit of depression (and thanks to other stuff) I haven't been giving things my all. Really need to change that!

Update: I weighed in this morning to 299.8!! I'll take it! Wednesday is my official weigh in day anyway. This is probably partly because I hardly ate yesterday because of not feeling well, but I'll take it!
