MrsRoboto 370 Posted September 3, 2015 I'm 5 weeks out. I've been stalled for 2 weeks, which I know from reading on here is very typical, but it's still incredibly frustrating and a real head game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remix 153 Posted September 3, 2015 I'm 6.5 weeks post Op. Down 35 lbs and so many inches that I'm thrilled. I am swimming laps and jogging for an hour a day. Loving exercise because I'm amazed and thrilled at how much my body can do now!! Breakfast every day is a Protein Shake. Without that, I don't get enough Protein into my day. I still struggle to get all my Water in but I'm working on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheezysmom 146 Posted September 3, 2015 I am almost 8 weeks post op. I have lost about 40lbs without exercise (I start Water aerobics tomorrow). At my 6 week check up two weeks ago I was scolded because I don't eat enough and I have lost too much weight. In fact, I have lost another 10lbs since I last saw the doctor; she isn't going to be happy with me. It takes me about a hour to drink a Protein shake and the only one I can tolerate right has 14g of Protein (in comparison to premier which has 30g). I eat so little that I try to make it count so I will eat meat/eggs and try to snack on nuts and cheese. Then fruits and vegetables. Let's take today for example: I tried to make myself a Protein Drink but my kid drank it all so I had some Water. For lunch I had a small apple, again shared with my kid. About 3 hours later I started on my Protein Drink and finished it. A couple of hours later I had an egg and about 6 grapes. When I got home from work I had 4 slices of sausage (size of a quarter) and 6 penne Pasta. I say all of that to say: I am a work in progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
