coops 1,790 Posted April 3, 2011 Hey Lash, I wish....lol! There are some here that shed very quickly and I suppose there are pros and cons to fast and slow weight loss. The way I look at it is that, as long as it is coming off, it is coming off!!! =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiffykins 673 Posted April 4, 2011 I would drop 7-8lbs a week especially when I was really pushing Protein, and avoiding all carbs. My labs never suffered because of the rapid losing, my skin looks just the same as others that lost the same amount of weight over a slower amount of time so I don't believe that skin will hold out better if we lose it slower. For me, as long as your labs look good, you feel good, you're getting in proper nutrition and fluids, I never thought I lost too fast. People used to gasp when I told them I dropped 80lbs the first 4 months, but now there's people dropping 100+ pounds in 3-4 months post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weightbgone 9 Posted April 4, 2011 Wow! that is great!!!! So what was a typical daily food intake for you when you was pushing the Proteins?? Did you use meat or shakes? and what kindof veggies did you eat? I would drop 7-8lbs a week especially when I was really pushing Protein, and avoiding all carbs.

lash44 313 Posted April 4, 2011 Tiff, Thanks so much, as always good advice. I would drop 7-8lbs a week especially when I was really pushing Protein, and avoiding all carbs.

Tiffykins 673 Posted April 4, 2011 Wow! that is great!!!! So what was a typical daily food intake for you when you was pushing the Proteins?? Did you use meat or shakes? and what kindof veggies did you eat? meat, cheese, eggs, greek yogurt. I never used shakes. I just focused on eating as much meat as possible. I ate tons of beef and chicken, seafood was a once or twice a week thing. It's not my favorite food, and it was not something I ever prepared at home unless it was tuna or some crab mixture. Tilapia and mahi mahi are the only fish I really like, and I typically screw those up when preparing at home. The main veggies I ate were green Beans, broccoli, and refried or pinto Beans. I ate poached eggs with cheese, ground meats, tons of deli meat with cream cheese, chicken and beef made in the crock pot. I ate tons of leftovers. I'd prepared 2-3 cups of a specific food, and freeze individual portions for easy meals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godsfavoraintfair 3 Posted April 18, 2011 Wish I had your problem, but I will have my 3 month weigh in on 4/28 so I am going to push the Protein until that day about 10 days from now, bec I eat my share of carbs and I exericise 5 days a week and still down 52lb since being sleeved 1/26/11. But I feel my skin is doing really well, but my boobs are disappearing and I am not happy about that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
