Honestly, my first stall was from not eating enough...go figure....threw my body into starvation mode.

Everyone is different, but for me, I give myself B-12 injections every other week. This keeps my motabilizm up and I just feel better all the way around.

I was told anything you can cut with a fork easily and chew chew chew...

I am also June 18. So far I have lost 25 lbs but only 1 lb in the last 2 weeks. I am eating correctly and walking 30 min 5 times a week but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. This week I am going to concentrat on protien and water...maybe that's my problem.

Thanks JamieLogical...just expecting too much I guess.

I am 6 weeks out and eating between 300-500 per day. I have only lost 25lbs and this seems awfully slow to me. I am also walking 30 min per day. Any suggestions on dropping the weight faster. Not sure what else to do??

This has been so helpful...I weigh on Mondays and this morning had only dropped 1 pound. I was really disgusted until I read some of the comments and realize this is normal, whatever normal is. I have been walking but not enough. I know I need to kick up my excersize routine.

_{Did you guys lose alot of weight before your surgery?? I am 3 weeks out and have only lost 18 lbs?? Wondering if this is about average or not??}

_{I have been told to loose 13 lbs before surgery and I am having a very difficult time getting "kick-started". I started trying to do a low carb diet (the last one I ever had any luck with)....no loss. Then I tried the pre-surgery liquid diet....so hungry for a week....lost 1 lousy pound...So frustrated that I can't get started in the right direction. I have been jumping thru all the hoops for almost a year now and finally everything will be submitted to Insurance next week...still not going to help if I can't get this 13 lbs off!!!! Any suggestions???}

If your insurance will pay Chantix really helped me. I have been smoke free for over 10 weeks now. My surgeons requires a pulmonary test and I did not pass it. Now it is a waiting game until I can take it again. I was a smoker for 30 years.
