DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted July 27, 2012 You shouldn't be getting sick, ever, let alone from only a half cup of food. You are losing fast, though. What exactly did your doctor say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1shauna1 129 Posted July 27, 2012 That is fast, but it looks like from your ticker that that was a lot to lose. Are you feeling full from the half cup? Darn, I wish I could bottle some of what you have! If your doc is worried, maybe you need a bit of a defill (although if you're eating okay, maybe not??). 1 ellaal01 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cindy C 150 Posted July 28, 2012 85 pounds in 3 months is a lot but you started at 369. The more you weigh, the faster the pounds fall off so I really don't think it's excessive. I don't look at pounds as much as percentages. You've lost about 23% of your starting weight. (at 3 months, I lost 18%) My opinion is, for what it's worth, as long as you feel good and are healthy, keep doing what you're doing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted July 29, 2012 Yes if you have a lot to loose; greatly reducing your calories intake will lead to quick weight loss. However you must be able to eat 3 oz solid Protein (weight not volume) and have veggies. If you can not your band is too tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James _Perkins15 32 Posted July 29, 2012 has really upped my protein.His worry is so few calories will lead to big problems!My wife chases me around Protein Shakes now. lolThis surgery has saved my life i've been losing a blood pressure med a month the last 2 months.Anorexia nervosa is the term they used with me .Im so scared of failing i get sick from nerves because im so scared of gaining.The problem with losing it fast is you lose vital muscle...I think we have a plan in place to combat this just know more 20lbs weightloss months 8-10 instead.

karewpah 173 Posted July 29, 2012 James...keep up the good work. Follow the rules and it will be difficult for you to fail. Protein is key so that you don't lose muscle mass...which is detrimental to your heart functioning well. Weightloss should slow the more you lose. I agree 10 pounds a month is more reasonable. Be well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
