Think I am the only one on here from South Africa.....we alo have monthly support group meetings

Am currently visiting Houston, I am from South Africa, and must say its difficult to say no to all these nice foods. At least my portion is limited and I still visit the gym. Luckily i cant mess up too much in 2 weeks!

I have stalled a few times......loosing very slow, only down 28kg , was done 7september!! But keep working hard, as long as it keeps going down, thats important

I am really struggling to get myself to loose faster.......protein is my biggest problem!! I drink water go to gym, but just cant get enough protein....shakes make me feel sick!! I am so frustrated!! 3 months now and only lost 44 pounds

I was done 7 september....so about 10 weeks now. Am really struggling to loose fast. Do exercise, drink lots of water, but think i dont get enough protein!! I have only lost 17 kg. Is that very slow?? Feels like it. Suppose I will have to get a shake and some protein powder....grrrrrrrrr

I am almost 7weeks and been stuck for 3weeks now.....only lost 13kg. It's seriously frustrating!! I want to scream!!

Hi there I had my op on Sept 7th. I had the gastric bypass(roux en y). I have only lost 13kg, am feeling a little frustrated because I am standing still for a while now!! I do get about 1,5 liters of water minimum......so not bad I suppose. Can only stomach ice water....so I freeze my water till little pieces of ice in it! I am pretty good at eating most proteins.....eggs make me a little sick, and struggle a little with not so moist chicken. But otherwise i dont have much problems!!

After 5weeks I have only lost 13kg.......it seems slow and now I am stuck. Hoping that starting gym next week will work!!

I will add you to BBM tomorrow.....@2fat42long

I Hi Fortune, glad to find some other South Africans here........have you had the op? Or thinking about it?

Sure we can chat, I am 5weeks post op!! You??

Thanks all for the ideas.....will definately try the choc pudding or sauce. Just dont think we get sf choc sauce here in SOuth Africa!! Seeing my doc tomorrow to remove staples....will ask him if i can just make them smaller!!

I am 6 days post-op. I need to turn my pills into powder and somehow get it in!! I hate bad tasting things, does anybody have an idea how to get this in easily without making me want to throw up??

I was on 2 weeks Optifast....I had no problems and was never hungry!! they taste nice as well!
