WOW101 54 Posted July 30, 2013 8 weeks post-op today and I'm down 55 lbs! I was able to jog on the treadmill and didn't feel tired. ...major accomplishment.

iamworthit 208 Posted July 30, 2013 I hit my first big goal today: I am no longer in the 300s!!! As of today I saw a 2 on that scale for the first time in a long time! This only encourages me to keep going. Nothing beats this feeling of reaching a goal! Next goal: lose 29 more pounds and it will be a full 100 pound loss from my highest weight! Surgery: 6/26/13 HW 370 SW 331 CW 299 Yay!!! I am happy for you!! 1 Dbanks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dbanks 111 Posted July 31, 2013 Hi all I'm new here had my surgery 6//18/13. I'm down 41 lbs. I'm having a hard time finding a food plan. I still rely on Protein Shakes for most of my intake. I tolerate an egg ok. Maybe a teaspoon of tuna. But it seems like if I eat early in the day I never get my Fluid in. This has left me feeling blah. No energy = no exercise. Which I so desperately need to start. Any helpful ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tolerate an egg ok. Maybe a teaspoon of tuna. But it seems like if I eat early in the day I never get my Fluid in.This has left me feeling blah. No energy = no exercise. Which I so desperately need to start. Any helpful ideas? I actually start the day with fluids. I have 1/2 a Protein Shake and a bottle of Propel. I don't actually eat my Breakfast, which is usually Greek Yogurt, until mid-morning. Then 30 minutes after I finish the yogurt, I begin drinking Water. My day also ends with fluids, I finish the Protein shake, and drink more water. I also find that working out helps because it makes you thirsty. By the way, I use Premiere Protein shakes. They have 30 grams of protein and are sold only at Cosco and Sam's Club. I hope this helps - Good luck and keep trying!!

I was feeling like I needed to rely on food. And cut back my shakes. But I just can't to that yet. For now I'll stick to whats working.
