Hey guys. Just want some advice before makin a call to my dr's office. I am 6 weeks out.... And losing 1lb/week if that! Is that normal?!?! I feel like my boy is not goig to lose anymore, and it sucks.... Very discouraged! Here are my stats: Surgery date: 6/18 Pre op weight: 229lbs Surgery weight: 215lbs Today weight: 186-188lbs. Any advice would be very muh appreciated! Ps: i walk 4-5x a wk, drink plenty of Water, eat as I'm supposed, and take my Vitamins....

Ugh i know how this feels!!!! Try losing about 1 lb a week, if that.... And im only 6wks out. Granted i didn't have much to lose but am Afraid that it's gonna keep Going like this, then once tht bad time Comes Around, I'm done loaing and surery was a waste!!! It's very frustrating! Even more so when u weigh urself very hopeful... And nothing!!! I keep thinking my surgery didnt work!

Hey guys... I am 6 weeks post op and am losing about 1-2 lbs a week, sometimes not at all. Ist this normal?

It come in other flavors!!!

I wish!!! I hve 48-55.... I'm stuck at 188 :-/

Guys, is it possible to lose 1-2lbs a week? That's where i have been for the last couple weeks... It SUCKS! i could have done that before surgery. Is that normal?

Hi! This post is more of an inspiration and motivation! I have been there and wish i had some encouraging words and motivation....I am now 5 weeks post op... Have been through feelings of resentment, anger, depression, hunger, cravings, discouragement.... Hve craves thinfa so bad, that i took a timy bte out of, spit it out, and felt nauseous. I have forgotten to take my Vitamins, but now know the importamce of it! But I just want to say, stick it out, even though you might have a stall (i did for 2 weeks).... You'll pull through and it will be worth it! I have less cravings, learned that my hunger is in my head... Amd sometimes will go away if i drink Water. You will make mistakes, i surely did (ate fruits i wasn't supposed to). We are not perfect, and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't worth getting advice from! Sometimes you'll make bad food choices, but remember tomorrow is a new day! If you are losing slow, remember: "folks who hve more to loose, loose bulks of lbs faster..." Stick it out, those first 2 weeks are horrible... But sure is worth it!!!

Yeah is bad and scary--- all i could Think Was an intestine obstruction... Idk. I cried like a baby and was 3 minutes from going to the er...

Hi! How far out are you? I've had that pain twice and t was due to swallowing some air and drinking too fast. The first time i walked it out... The second time i was at an event and could not do much. It liteally felt like an air bubble bursting and the pain was gone.. After 40 mins.... Drs told me it was dumping syndrome but I'm pretty sure it wasnt.... Its gas!

Yes! Protein helps!! Everything I eat, I make ure there is some kind lf protein in it

I have the unjury unflavored powder and it does have some taste, they all do. I don't love it! But i use it in the mornig when i blend greek yogurt with fruit

Good for you! That is amazing! I can't imagine getting out of the 180s.... It feels so Good already, right?

I've been a 12/13 sometimes 14 for 2 years... I remember feeling good as an 5-6-7-8 or 9. I don't want to pretend to pretend tobe superwoman and want to be a siZe 0, just not Me! I hve curves (brazilian).... I used to be an xl or top, but now am a Medium!!! This is 5 weeks post op!

Here is me on the day of surery at 215lbs (I started the program at 231lbs) And on the bottom is me last Sunday at 189 lbs (i'm on the left)... As you can see, fce is much thinner, I have curves and my stomach is flatter!

Yes! Mission is the brand! I got All the ingredients at stop & shop! They also have an organic pizza sauce, I think brand is "nature's place"...

Hi!! Its very low carb, i forget the #s! I ate only a couple bites and i was full! Plus i woke up this morning and -1lb! Next time i eat it, I'm gonna do veggies instead of pepperoni! You guys have to try it if you have a pizza craving! It really was the best pizza ever!!!

Hi! Ur so kind!! Thank you!! I was on the liquids diet for a wk... Then started the mushy diet....yes u can have suar free pudding! I did!!! Sometimes when i have a craving for chocolate that does the trick!!!

Im on the same boat as you! Its pretty hard to stay motivated! I can't get out of the weight i am on :-/ Sucks

Hey hun! I am a month out and can tell you that head hunger gets better! Try to stay away from tv.... That was bad for me!!! I craved it all. Or everytime a food commercial comes on, seitch channels. I know how bad it is, I craved all the stuff i never liked and eas always hungry! Today, I can tell you it's better to control it. Don't fall of our plan for meals every 2 hrs, anything else is ur mind playing tricks.

Hey! Anyone else just starting this stage?? I'm a bit nervous and anxious--not about the eating and tolerating, but about it slowing down my weight loss... Any advice? I can start eating mild/light cheeses, light mayo, tuna, scrambled eggs, moist chicken.... My weight loss progress is already slow (imo)... Lost 24 lbs first month :-/....

Hi!! Def not the clam chowder... I'd avoid some of the creamier soups. If you have it, have the campbells 99% fat free cream of chicken, cream of tomato.... When you are on the liquid diet, it'sonly Clear Liquids.... Water, broth, popsicles (sugar free), Brocolli is a gass-y veggie, so I'd stay away from that for now as well...

Hi there, I think those feelings are normal and due to uou just making a huge change in your life and having surgery!!! It'll go away. I had some of those feelings and still sometimes do... I'm 5 wks out...
