Janex43 18 Posted July 5, 2015 Down 96lbs. Surgery was March 10th ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1435370090.118989.jpgYou look amazing!!! Any tips? What have you been doing to make your weight loss awesome like it has been?I've done a lot of walking! At least 3 miles a day 5-7 days a week (depending on weather). And I've stuck with the plan, mostly Protein foods. I rarely eat any carbs (mostly a cracker to go with my cheese snack or a slice of whole grain toast for Breakfast (this is rare). I don't think I get all my Protein in - that's a daily battle. I'm going to try going back to my Protein shake though and see if that helps. Loved them before surgery but afterwards I couldn't stand them. I never had a 3 week stall. I stalled one time for 10 days (due to weather and other things I didn't get to walk a lot which didn't help). But I also know I've done some things not right - occasional glass of wine - so I'm far from perfect. I honestly think I've just been very very lucky. Thanks for the advice!!!

I honestly have no idea. I eat an egg or string cheese for breakfast, then salad, grilled chicken, turkey hotdog or turkey sausage for lunch and dinner. This is what most of my meals look like. I have a snack of cheese with a cracker or some fruit. We do a lot of grilling out so I'm not sure what I'll do when it's winter. Ha! My goal this month is to get my protein up. everything has been going so smoothly with weightloss that I'm afraid to change anything up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanessa Acosta 0 Posted July 6, 2015 Good morning: I need some help! I had my surgery 8/24/2011; I lost a total of 112 pounds. I have since gained 45 pounds back in the last 1 1/2. I have been exercising, reduced my carb intake to zero, increased Water, no caffeine, eating salads, increased my Protein to 70 grams a day. Drinking 64+ oz of Water. And I can not lose any weight. I am so frustrated & disappointed. Please any suggestions. I would greatly appreciate it. I went back to Kaiser for the revision surgery & the only option they gave me was to have the gastric by pass. Which I do not want to do. Please someone give me some advice. Thank you so much!

ausmith 374 Posted July 7, 2015 You look incredible Kogo! Can't wait until I get to point where I don't mind photos. When you're pre op it seems like an unobtainable fantasy. I am 21 months out and have lost 112 so far. Like you I hated having my photo taken until recently. I put a photo of myself and my husband on FB and my page went crazy with comments from friends and family who we have not seen for a long time. It was like Xmas it made me feel so good. In saying that though I still struggle to work out what size I am when I see someone on the street I will say to my husband is that the size I look. He shakes his head no. So still struggling with thinking I look bigger than I am at times. This is the best thing I have ever done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
