music1618 879 Posted January 18, 2013 I have been at a stall for the past couple of months. I made a New Years resolution to increase my Protein and do better about doctors orders. I was getting 40-50g of protein a day. Now I am getting 90-100g. Not only do I feel really good, but my weight loss has started again. 3 ladyspl, Cheryl Barfoot and GloriaW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted January 18, 2013 Hey Music .... I too was at a stall for 2+months.... it was 5 months post op when my weight loss just stopped. After the 2nd month I increased the intensity and distance of my exercise... I went from walking to running and in about 2 wks the weight started coming off again but slowly. The strange thing was.. the weight stayed the same but I dropped a size - go figure. I get about 50+ grams of Protein a day from a Protein shake the "+" is cottage cheese or nuts I may have. How are you getting all your Protein in? I just may up mine and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How are you getting all your protein in? I just may up mine and see what happens. I found a Protein Shake that is 30g of protein with just 4oz of liquid. It is from max muscle. They said I should be getting about 100g due to my activity level. I drink the shake in the morning and if I need to one at night. The rest I am relying on food. I am like you during this stall the weight stayed the same, but my clothes fit better. I have tried really hard not to pay attention to the scale and focus on the inches. 1 raquelrdgz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

music1618 879 Posted January 19, 2013 I did not see one in Houston, but give the Plano or Rockwall store a call. He has said he will ship. Just let them know you are a bariatric patient. http://www.maxmusclentx.com/ I use their max pro orange Protein shake. I also use the B12 and the all in one Vitamin powder. 1 raquelrdgz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
