Hey Mizzlaw, I see we have the same goal.... We are soooo close! Keep up the amazing work!

Hi everyone, Yesterday was 6 months post-op for me. I have my 6 month post-op appointment next weeks. I am really happy with my progress thus far, however i fear that I wont reach my goal ..... Overall I feel GREAT!!!

How is it going now that your about to be 6 months post-op?

On April 1st I will be 6 months post-op. So far, I have lost a total of 66 pounds which I am very grateful for. However for the last few weeks the scale has only move up and down within 1 pound. Am I at a plateau? Am I doing something wrong? Am I done losing? I would LOVE to lose another 50 pounds. I walk A LOT, and go to the gym about twice a week. Are there any foods I should be avoiding/ stop eating? I eat: meats - chicken, turkey and beef (sometimes) Beans - black beans, chili beans, pinto beans, split peas Soup Most Seafood - shrimp, crab legs, fish, and salmon Vegetables expect, starchy {potatoes}. (Fresh or Frozen) Dairy (cheese, Greek yogurt, almond milk Nuts (Sliced Almonds and All natural Peanut Butter no sugar added. (I used to almonds in my greek yogurt(1/2 serving) and peanut butter on fresh fruit) Seasoning and ingredients that have sugars listed 5th and below I try to get in about 800-900 calories a day. Is that to low, to high? What am i doing wrong? Any suggestions on how I can getting the scale moving again? This is VERY depressing . All comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!! This is a lifestyle change and learning process. I am still learning......

Hey Everyone! Just checking-in..... I had my surgery on 10/1 and each day is getting easier. I still throw up when food get stuck, however I am learning what i need to stay away from.... Keep up the amazing work everyone!

yes, Im "Clarice Robinson".... I dont always log my food, but i do add my weight change.

Hey Tmorgan, Just continue to do your best!!!!

Girl, you look amazing! Keep up the awesome progress! You will be at your goal in no time.

Hi Niki, Its still a challenge for me to meet my protein goal. I try to shot for 60g of protein a day however it seem like I've been getting in about 40-50 a day. The vitamins are a whole different story. Since the surgery i have not been able to tolerate any artificial sweeteners, so i have to force myself to get the chewable vitamins down. To be honest i do forget to take them sometimes because its such a challenge for me. I've even tried crushing them and eating the powder... Hopefully it will get better for me. I might start breaking them in half and see if that helps.

I would throw then out when everyone is sleep!

Hey Everyone, So today is officially two months post-op for me. I had my RNY bypass surgery on Oct 1st. Highest weight ever: 261.4 Weight day of surgery: 249.0 Current weight as of today: 220.0 It seems like my progress has been really slow compared to other on rnytalk.com however I am happy with my continuous progress. I so cant wait to get out of the 200s. I have been doing a lot of walking, however my goal for this month is to get even more active in the gym. Claire

My weight loss has also been slow. Tomorrow is two months for me.

Congrats!

Slow is an under statement of how i feel about my progress...

I feel like i'm going to be that small percentage that only 30-40 pounds max.....

Hey, Does the tea cause you any cramping. I have some from before the surgery, however I remember having cramps when I woke up the next morning after drinking the tea.

Did the apple juice help?
