ibehere10 163 Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks Amazon and Jennifer! I lost the most in the first three weeks or so. I know that some of that was from the 13 lbs of Water I put on due to all the fluids they pumped into me during surgery and the next 24 hours, lol. I have lost steady and have not yet suffered any stalls. Going to the gym three times a week and using my fitness pal app on my phone has also helped!! Where are you at in your journey?

Where are you at in your journey?[/quote'] I'll be 2 weeks on Tuesday. Lost 18# total. 13 of them were preop 2 weeks of just shakes. Still doing just shakes. Weird, thought I would have lost more only getting abour 500 calories net (after exercise).Hoping when I can add mushies this week might spark it up a bit.

I had to gradually increase both and still struggle with the fluids part. Not sure what type of shakes you are using but my nut said to only use whey Protein isolate type shakes. You are doing great, the lbs will drop!! Also, if you haven't already done so, take your measurements!! I didn't do this till I was about three weeks out and just re did them and am losing lots if inches and am down almost two full sizes with my current already getting big!! Hang in and just follow the directions of your doc and nut, you will do great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
