  4. I am over four years out. I recently got married and now have no reason not to slim down (want baby's) but I work super early and cannot remember what I used for protein in the morning. Help?

  7. Hello, I have quite the history. I got down to a weight I liked a year after while in an abusive relationship. I gained since weight back before ending that relationship. More recently I just got married, but didn't worry myself about losing weight before the marriage but now after we want kids, and I don't want to try until I lose more weight. How do I start to retry after four and a half years.
  8. I had my surgery years ago, and i lost a lot of weight. But i gained back some and i was told recently if i wasnt going to count calories i at least need to keep up with protein. But lord save me i cant remember what i use to do for protein at any meal. Help please?

  15. Thanks guys. I almost never get that down about it and I'm not so upset now, I just was this morning and had to say something somewhere! lol
  16. Yes, I have thought about revising but my insurance only pays for one wls in my lifetime so that's not an option. And I was supposed to be at 40 carbs when I first started out, and it goes up from there. But like I said I'm on the slow side, today is 30some carbs including fiber.
  17. I am 10 months out and down 120 pounds with another 100 to go. For over a month now I haven't been losing weight and I have been trying so many things. On average I get between 30-100 g carbs a day (on the lower side majority of the time, including fiber) and like 20-30 grams of fat and 60+ g of protein. I even am trying taking alli even though I don't eat much fat. I exercise and get 7 thousand steps a day and 4 flights of stairs at minimum. I get all my liquids in and eat between 800-1000 calories. I have even tried calorie cycling by going up to 1500 and then back down to 800 but even though I lost some doing that it didn't last. I am at the end of my rope and need some help or advice or anything!
  18. He is already taking 4 different blood pressure medications. I really don't think another one is going to do that trick. I am just worried what will happen during the surgery.
  19. That's the scary thing, the surgeon isn't running any more tests. He did the psych test and that's it now it's going through insurance and he will be scheduling soon
  20. I had surgery a while ago and my dad got all excited about it and he wants to have it to. He has an average BP of 188/98 and an A1C of 10.7 among other health problems. I'm afraid he isn't healthy enough for surgery. Did anybody else have similar health problems going into surgery?
  21. I am five months out and was just wondering what other people similar too me have been eating during the day? How many calories a day?
  22. I have been measuring, they haven't been going down. like last month i lost half an inch in a couple places and that was it
