My highest weight was 272, 255 on surgery day and now 207. My BMI was 41 and now it is 31.5! I have definately lost inches...used to be a 22 in pants and 1x/2x in tops..now, I wear 14/16 in pants and large top....I just feel like exercise will not help and I should be loosing soley on how little I eat...I guess it took me this long to get my wake up call!

It has been sixmonths for me and i am not even at 50 pounds yet...am i eating too much? Too little? Here is a sample day: B: 3/4 special k Protein Cereal (it is low fat low carb and 10 gr protein) + 3/4 cup skim milk+ small banana S: turkey pepperoni and cheese stick L: chicken with salad + l/f dressing S: chobani n/f yogurt D: 3-4 ounces lean protein + veggies or fruit S: s/f fudge pop (35 calories) I generally drink 65-80 ounces of Water every day Too much? Too liitle? Would exercise help?

Good Morning...what is everyone eating for breakfast? I get tired of eating cold foods (yogurt, cottage cheese) anyone eating oatmeal? (not worried about the carbs?) thanks everyone!

How do you up your calories without feeling like you are stuffing yourself??

Oh thank you thank you for letting us know it is possible! I am at 4 1/2 months and have only lost 44 pounds post op ( 17 pre op) and am sure that i will never see onederland! Thanks for making me a believer! I am at 211 now so it is right around the corner!

Any suggestions or tips? It usually strikes around 8 pm or so while watching tv... In the past, i would have ice cream or cookies.. Thanks!

While I dont rely on them, i like to grab them in a pinch..however they all have either rice or pasta. I am not doing carb-free but just wondering if anyone has found good frozen meals that are not full of pasta and rice?

Yay, i finally get to move to soft foods on sunday...i see alot of people mention ricotta cheese, is it more protein or a different taste than cottage cheese? What can i do with it? Thanks!

I am 3 months out and currently weigh 225. I work full time. Since surgery, i have little to no energy. I take a vitamin every day and B12 once a week . So tired every day which i know is having an effect on my weight loss because i am too exhausted to exercise. Any thoughts, tips and suggestions would be appreciated.

My caloric intake is between 850 and 950 and protein is between 65 and 75 grams

6 weeks out and moving to regular food on sunday, what fruits and veggies will I be able to eat?

11 weeks out, only 28.5 pounds lost...going to start tracking...how many calories? Protein? Fat? Carbs? (no real exercise to speak of) thanks'

I am not sure how to use that app? Any tips?

I am 11 weeks out and have lost only 28.5 pounds..i know that is 2.5 pounds per week but i anticipated much more by now...I do not count calories, protein or anything for that matter...no real exercise to speak of.. Do i need a jump start and if so, how? Thanks

2 months out and nervous/anxious about Thanksgiving...all the food etc...any survival tips from the veterans out there?

Gosh now i really feel bad, i was sleeved on 9/12 and lost only 25 pounds and i have been having "buyers remorse" for weeks! What if this is all I lose???

Oh good, i am not alone! I was sleeved on 9/12 and have lost only 23 pounds (and 17 pre op) weight loss is slow but everything is like a tent on me! I did not want to go shopping this early but my pants are falling down plus i think it will make me ceel better to have some clothes that actually fit!

I was sleeved on 9/12/11 and did not get my period from april 2011 untl last month (10/25 to be exact) before surgery, i went to the dr and all my hormones were normal.. I started back on the pill about 5 weeks ago...now, not even two weeks since my last period i am spotting again, is this normal? I asked the dr if my period stopped due to my weight and she said maybe but not likely..so i am wondering if it started again due to pill and weight loss ( i have lost only 22lbs post and 17 pre) thanks everyone!

So, I am 25 days post op and for the last couple of days, had a bad reaction to dairy...does this mean i am lactose intolerant or do i just need to take a break from dairy? What to do about protein now?

6 weeks out and no real exercise to speak of...i know i should but....i am upset and scared that i am not motivated...help!

Thanks, i am really just wanting to exercise because i have lost only 20 pounds at 6 weeks out!

Thanks everyone..think i am going to get a Biggest Loser dvd

Any ideas on the best dvd out there for a beginner like me?

Thanks nikij for the support! We have a wii system collecting dust so maybe i will try that!

I have already had well cooked broccoli and cauliflower without a problem...will i have enough room for fruit and veg and still be able to get 60 g protein? Where can i find sample meals?
