I have been so frustrated with my weight loss recently. I was 258 they day of surgery 6-19, at my 3 month 9-17 I was 218 and today I am 209. So 49lbs in 4 months which is good but less than 10lbs the last month. I still walk 2-3 miles 4-5 days a week and I have increased my Protein to a minimum of 90 grams a day the last 3 weeks-month. I typically get at least 50-60 oz of Water as well.

I am the same as you. 6/24 surgery date and down 43 pounds. I am getting 70 - 90 grams of protein and about 50 ozs of water low carbs calorie intake is about 700 - 1000. So tired of hearing everyones journey is different. I satisfied with what I lost. Just want to move along a little tinsy bit faster.

So i got very brave today and purchased a digital bathroom scale to help me better measure my progress and keep me focused . I promised myself a week or bi-weekly weigh in so i don't drive myself into a obsessive compulsive tailspin. Fortunately for me i threw caution to the wind and hopped on the scale (Please note this has been my mortal enemy for decades) and to my surprise i am down another 18 lbs! Yipee :D . This puts me ahead of my goal to be in the 200"s for Thanksgiving. As of today's glorious date i am down a total of 145 lbs since i started this program 1 year ago At this rate i should be ( God willing and the Creek don't rise ) at my goal weight of 180 Lbs by May of 2014. Thanks you God for letting me find Dr.Richard Ing and the entire team at The Bryn Mawr Hospitals Bariactric center. . Hope everyone is have a Beautiful Sunday. RJ

Congratulations, RJ!! So happy for you! That's awesome to hear! You've really been working so hard and you're such an inspiration to all of us! Keep rockin it! :)

Graceann & favor, it's hard to hear the cliches! I definitely agree. We are so accustomed to beating ourselves up we've forgotten how to Celebrate. You guys "got this!" Jealousy of others is normal, guess what? Someone you know is jealous of you, maybe they just don't voice it. It's too late to turn back, so just work your program and your body your way. (Oh, and if you are exercising the same every day or so, change it up for effectiveness. So, say in walking, if you take one direction today, go the opposite tomorrow. You may want to walk for 20 minutes the take a quick 30 second jog, then walk, then pretend to high step for 30 seconds. The neighbors will think you're crazy but your body doesn't get to set to a new normal)

Ditto! I don't know y'all by face or even real names, but I am very connected to you not to mention very grateful for a safe place I can whine and find acceptance in the awkwardness of my new adventure!

My first birthday since surgery is coming up and I need some suggestions! I have a large family and as per the usual routine we all meet at a restaurant for a lovely meal. However, this year I would like to change it up and NOT make food the focus. Any ideas/experiences you guys can share?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
