I had my surgery on September 1st and so far have lost a little over 30 pounds (pre surgery diet included). I'm finding that with every little bit I lose I can move more freely - are you finding that yet? I think a big part of the weight loss is from being able to be more active - what you eat and the caloric intake is just part of the equation. Also - a friend of mine who had gastric bypass was putting back on a lot of weight and her doctor told her to cut out the liquid calories - ie. coffee drinks. It sounds like you're very conscientious about your caloric intake but in case this is something you've overlooked, worth cutting out or cutting back on. And one last note of encouragement - if it comes off a bit slower it will stay off longer, right?
