hi, I had my surgery july 2007 i am only down 45 lbs . it doesnt seem how much I eat I still dont lose. i have had several fills still lots of food catches so i have to go throw up . What is the ecret ? What do you eat on a daily basis ? so that you have lost . Please help me

Well I dont get much excersise but I tried this morning, I put in my Richard Simmons tape Sweatin to the oldies and i was able to get threw one song Locomotion . I am sweatin and my knee is killing me. Will rest it for awhile then do next son . I figured if I can do this a couple times a day its a start . I need a total knee replacement so its hard to be on my feet for a period of time. I also cut back on carbs so hopefully I will start losing more weight.

I really have been cutting down on carbs and keeping track of what i have been eating since Sunday , I have been throwing up again from being nausiated . I thought it was from meds but I just had to go throw up again and I havent had any since 3 this morning and it is now 9. ate a special K protein bar and had a cup of sugar free cocoa , I feel so sick to my stomach

Thanks and good luck to you and your surgery for the hip. i have been writing down since yesterday , i dont eat much sweets or desserts but i do like some salty stuff such as popcorn and for some reason that goes down . I will keep track ty

I feel the same way you do I lost the most amt on the liquid diet before surgery. I had it done in july of 2007 and havent even lost 50 lbs almost a year . I have had it filled several times , taken out , refilled and now it is tight I have trouble swollowing but dont want to have any taken out. I only lost 2 lbs in the last 6 weeks. I dont get alot of excersise cause i need a total knee replacement but no dr. will do it till i lose more weight. i am at my wits end what does every one else eat during the day to lose so much ?

I cannot drink anything cold or it will come right back up . and pop is hard to swollow also

in the morning i usually drink a low cal or reg. carnation breakfast , then for lunch some kind of soup usually tomato, then for supper i tr to eat a little bit of what i make for my kids , but it usually gets stuck and i have to throw up. I cant eat bread products and pasta gets stuck also, sometimes i can eat meat but only like burger or something like that eggs get stuck too. if the food does get stuck i try to burp or i will go throw up, when i take my pills i have to take them with something thicker like the breakfast drink or the tomato soup or they get stuck

I went to the dr. yesterday he wanted me to go have it tightened more but i already have trouble swollowing stuff . he said i must be eating to much . i usually have a carnation instant breakfast then some kind of soup , usually tomato then try to eat something light for sup sometimes it will go down sometimes the first bite gets stuck and if i cant get a burp out i am in bathroom throwing it up
