I wouldn't think bars would be good because of all the sugar in them. I have done this many times and it works great!

My surgery date was May 18 2012. Starting weight 246. And at 7 months I now weigh 177. My goal is 160. The last picture was from a week ago. Best decision of my life!! Good luck!

Thanks for sharing!!

You look amazing!!! You don't even look like the same person! I agree, pictures are important! Way to go girl!!

My right hip hurts since I have lost 65 pounds! This is weird! I wonder why?

Yay!! Congrats on getting your date!

I would love to get together too but won't be able to join until after the first of the year. I am in south Texas for work until then. Sounds awesome though! Looks like a nice group may be able to get together!!

You go!! You are doing an amazing job!!

Good luck!!

I usually eat 500-700 calories a day, 20-30 carbs a day and always at least 80 grams of protein. I am 5 months post op and have lost 60 pounds but have hit a lot of stalls and slowed with the weight loss in the past 6 weeks. I have replaced 2 meals each day with protein shakes and exercise 4 times a week for on hour on the elliptical. Just not sure what I am doing wrong?!?

I have gone up on my calories the past 3 days by at least 200 calories a day and it has worked!! I figured the less I eat and more I burn the more I would loose. I appreciate all the good advice I have seen on here. I am not hungry during the day now and I have ENERGY!! I also broke my stall. I am now eating closer to 800 calories and am wanting to get closer to 900 or 1000.

I am going to try to get closer to 1000 calories. It feels so wrong but I know it is what my body needs. I feel like I am eating all the time trying to get more calories. Also what about nuts, or almonds? Are the a good snack? I use to love the cocoa ones!!

Beef or chicken jerky!!

Oh yeah.... My fitness pal name is Mrsdaugherty also if you would like an extra friend.

For the past 2 days I have eaten more calories and I feel better!! Today when I woke up I felt awesome!! I didn't realize that I was so low of energy and tired until I woke up and felt ready to get up and hit the gym!! I also lost 1 pound so hopefully I broke my stall! I am trying to eat at least 700-800 calories and slowing down on the protein shakes too. I ate oatmeal yesterday so I had a little more carbs than I would have liked but was perfect with the protein an calories. I have added a few new my fitness pal friends so I got a few snack ideas off of them. Love my fitness pal!! Thank you all so much for the help!!

I am from Haughton, la. Close to Bossier City, la.

Your doing great!! I had my surgery May 18th and have lost 60 pounds but hit a stall about 6 weeks ago. Do you stay within a certain amount or carbs, calories, and protein?

Thanks for sharing! You have done great!!

I drink a lot of the shakes too. I don't really need a big variety of food so shakes are perfect. This is my first big stall and I can't break it for nothing! I have a few ideas to try so hopefully I will have some change soon!

Thank you all so much for the help. I am going to up my calories and not worry so much about keeping it low. And I need more green leafy veggies too. Thanks for the advice! I am excited to try these new ideas. I usually drink a shake for breakfast. 160 calories 3 carbs 30 grams of protein. And a snack before lunch of beef jerky or cheese stick. Then lunch I will drink another shake or eat like grilled chicken with some fresh veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce) then I will drink half of a shake or eat yogurt before my workout where I burn between 600-1000 calories. I get a small snack of fruit (grapes, pineapple, apple, orange). Maybe 60-75 calories 15 carbs. Then for supper I mainly eat meat. I mainly grilled or steamed pork seafood or chicken. drink half of a shake or eat yogurt before my workout where I burn between 600-1000 calories.
