75 pounds down for me weighed in this morning at 181 goal weight 175.

No real pain as far as the actually surgical sites, there is pressure in your upper chest once they start making you drink water in the hospital.

Hello I had surgery on January 17th my starting weight was 256 current weight 188, total weight loss 68lbs, and to get to my goal of 165 I need to lose another 23lbs seems so hard because the first 68lbs was so easy. I’m noticing a slowdown and at first I did not incorporate as much exercise as I should have but lately I’ve been adding a daily dose of Zumba to get my cardio up I don’t focus too much on caloric intake but I make sure that I eat three meals a day that include mainly protein which I always eat first if I am able to eat anything else after completing my protein then I do which is my vegetable and a fruit, my snacks are typically two per day and are high in protein and my only drink is 64+ ounces of water with the exception of coffee a few times a week with creamer added when I feel the need to splurge.

I'm only four months out and I have noticed if I don't get my water in I have issues with feeling "hungry" when I really shouldn't be. In my case I think it has to do with me actually being thirsty. And i do agree with the post above protein dense foods will last longer and eliminate that hungry feeling as well.

Muscle milk light worked for me its lactose free and chocolate goes down pretty good.
