    May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?

    Okay I am 15 weeks out and now starting to lose my hair. Do you lose a lot? How long does it last? I have lost 38 pounds since surgery, all except 3 pounds in the first two months. Leantoit this made me think of you. Guess I will b buying hats and/or cutting hair short.

    Found decent protein shot

    It says whey protein isolate along with the collagen (yuck). Anyway just following suggestions from dietician at dr's office. I guess it must b better than not getting any.
  5. I have had so much trouble getting in enough Protein. I tried all kinds of powders and shakes and would get so nauseated with the smell I would get sick. My nutritionist told me to get protein shots (bought online). Well I drank them because they were the least of all the "evils", however I had to hold my nose and stand over the sink in case I threw up. I could not finish the 24 ounce shots but got,close. They were so coagulated that I could not get the taste out of my mouth for a few hours and I would dread each day. I was so weak I knew I had to figure out something I could live with. Finally, a few days ago my fiancé and I found a Vitamin World in another city. They had the Proto Shot fruit punch with 49 grams of protein. I wouldn't try it, so he did and said it wasn't bad. I got something to chase it down with in case I got sick and then tried it. Although it doesn't taste goodby any means, it isn't nearly as thick as the others and I did not have to hold my nose. I know everyone is different but wanted to share in case any of you are having the same problem. I am only 3 months out from surgery and my appetite has already returned. I am hoping this will put it back in check Good luck to all of you.

    Help i have stopped losing weight

    I am eating a store brand cottage cheese that has 14 grams of protein for 1/2 cup. The fruit just helps the cottage cheese taste better. I have been eating too many nuts and got rid of them. Can't stand the shakes or,shots. Am now trying tuna in addition to cottage cheese to get my protein in. Will have to start tracking what I eat. That is probably part of my problem. Thanks so much to all of you. This really helps to encourage me.

    Surgery on May 7. Lost 35 pound total in first 2 months. Have been stalling for the past month and am worried that I may be through. My BMI was a 36 before surgery but the dr thought I would lose quite a bit more than this. Anyone else in my boat?

    Help i have stopped losing weight

    I really appreciate the feedback. I am disabled and unable to do strenuous exercise but am doing more than I have in a long long time. I walk as much as I can. I will try to remain optimistic.
  10. Next week will be 3 months since my vst. The first month I lost 25 pounds. The second month I lost 10. This month I have gained 2. What is going on? Is it over for me? Have I seriously screwed up? I eat no fat cottage cheese with a piece of fresh fruit every morning to get in 30 grams of protein. O follow up with tuna or salmon or some times a burger of I am away from home. If I want sweets I eat a no sugar added fudge bar The only thing I ca think of is I may be eating too many nuts. Help please I am so discouraged. I started at 225 and am only down to 190. I didn't think the weight loss was supposed to slow down until after 6 months. And I am still drinking my water and crystal lite lemonade.
