[Miss Crystal 1]

hello everyone, I am doing everything my Dr has asked and Ive only dropped 3 pounds in almost 2 months...I work out hard at the gym, so is the slow weightloss normal ?! Can anyone help with with some advice on how to drop more weight, I have to drop at least 30 lbs before surgery.. :/ Im stressing out

When is your surgery> HAve you tried limiting your carb intake? HOw about substituting any of your meals for a Protein Shake or even a slim fast shake? I was hard for me too. BUt having more Protein in your diet helps keep you full longer.

I still dont have a date yet but my dr wants to drop 30 lbs before surgery since its pretty soon...They hve me on Protein Shakes or slimfast shakes :/ I go to the gym 3-4 times a wk, and still havent lost much :*( I am getting discouraged

It is hard, I have been pretty successful with the plan my nutritionist puts all the patients on. Everything you eat should be in the single digits for fat and sugar. I stopped drinking soda and sweet tea. Good luck!
