24 pounds in five weeks is almost five pounds a week. When was the last time you lost five pounds a week? Do you really want to lose 10, 15, or 20 lbs a week? Not healthy, not realistic, and not sustainable. Maintain five pounds a week for six months and you'll be almost 150 lbs lighter! This is a journey, not a marathon. And it starts with realistic expectations. You're doing absolutely great! Celebrate your success! Stay focused on following the protocol, stay active, and stay away from the scales for a week and even two if you can stand it. You're gonna love the new you!!

Only? I'm also 5 weeks post op and have lost 19 lbs. everyone looses differently. Take it slow. Set small goals and relax.

Someone ask to see me with out a cap. Here you go. I got my hair done by my husband request & he pay for it

Thank you Mamiof3 and Cheryl!

The only reason I do the Protein Shakes is because I really don't think I can actually physically eat enough food in one day to meet my suggested Protein needs.

LMBO Rpil003! You took the words right out of my mouth!

I'm originally from Foxboro Mass, moved all over the place with my soon to be X husband, who is retired military...ended up in Florida. Wish I could move home...but as much of a cheating A hole he is, he's a great Dad and we have 2 amazing boys that deserve to be near their Dad.
I miss Fall and Snow! Not shoveling it, just to look at.

Cute dog too, mine is my BFF.

Thanks JustJen!

Hi 8/27 surgery buddies! I just wanted to thank all of you for you kind words of support. This is a journey and many of you are correct in saying my body needs time to heal and that it takes time to loose weight. I truly appreciate each on of your comments. At this time I'm trying to pay less attention to the weight loss number and my scale and more attention to getting in my Protein and fluids. Again thank you all.

Ok so I sent my nurse person out to the fresh market and she picked me up some kale. I broke pieces of the stalk separating at the vein, tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. Bakes at 275 and turned half way, they were delicious. A lite tasty crispy treat =]

Good for you Kerrie-Ann!! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Kale chips!!

Protein is a MUST. My hair is thin to begin with and I am worried as well. I make sure I get minimu 80 grams of protein daily no matter what !!!! I also take Biotin..... My doctor's office could not stress enough that if you take your protein you will not loose your hair - and you better believe I take my protein !!!!

Thank you for your reply. I definetly think the "why" is worth looking in to. Sugar has always been my weakness. Now that I've been thinking about it, it's kind of like I'm intentionally sabotaging myself. Sounds like I've got some work to do...thanks again. KA
