New to Lightweights Forum!
This WLS thing is a crazy journey to be sure. Hang though. What kinds of foods have sulfates in them? I wouldn't have thought protein powders would but I know nothing about sulfates. Would eggs be in that category?

I don't know anything about sulfates either but I hope you can find a protein powder you can use and like. They make life so much easier than having to rely on getting it all from food.
We all would like to wake up and all the weight is gone. But it really is going faster than I imagine you have ever lost before. I know it took me forever to see the change in sizes in the beginning but now even a few pounds gets a response. Our bodies have to have time to adjust and as long as you are staying on plan, getting your water and protein, you will continue to lose. Some just lose faster than others.
If goal is 111, you must be tiny. There are many of us that are in the 4'11"-5'1" range.

111, WOW! I am 4'11 and getting past this 130 is killing me! If I could I know my Dr would be the happiest on earth. Good Luck and look forward to having you around.

I'm 4 years out and still think I'm 230 pounds. It's hard to wrap my head around it. It's just par for the course I guess.
Congrats!

We had surgery at about the same time. I'm also having issues with my gallbladder...will be discussing options this week with my doctor.
We don't always see the lbs on the scale...sometimes the loss is in our measurements. If you haven't measured, then on your surgery date this month or next month if this one is already passed, measure yourself and then once a month do it again. Even the months with little weight loss you should see a drop in inches.
As to protein powders, Vitalady is stuck here near me and I will see her today...I will ask her if any of hers are sulfate free or if she knows of one.
Good luck.
