Going to add more water and try to step up the walking too! just bought coconut oil from trader joes. will try it too!

So glad, others are experiencing the same as me. At least I am not alone. Tomorrow is my first support group meeting so we will see how it goes. I think I need more than a once a month support group. I drink about 2 shakes a day, maybe 48 ounces of water and kind of munch on things here and there. I am pretty sure I am eating things I am not supposed to but at the same time, things that are not horrible either. All I know is that I ate a hell of alot more before the surgery and always maintained the same weight, way too heavy but always the same number. Now, I eat a fraction of what I had before and can't seem to shed anything so something ain't right here. I usually eat a big tablespoon of cottage cheese in the morning with reduced sugar jelly and maybe some scrambles egg. I feel like I can eat alot more than I should be able to??? Thanks to both of you that responded. it really helps. Please stay in contact with me

I have read all these chats and You all have given me some good ideas. I am 4 weeks post op as of tomorrow and haven't lost a pound since i finished my two weeks of shakes post op. To be honest with you, I am extremely frustrarted and really don't know what to do. I am not sure what to eat and when. At this point I have lost 31 pounds and am extremely stuck! I really want to maximize my weight loss at this time but Have really no support medically and am completely lost. Help please if you have any advice. Thanks

Try to stay away from potatos period. They will only hurt your success. i believe your supposed to look for low fat soups as well if I remember correctly. Good Luck!
