  1. I lost 20lbs in six weeks doing the shakes for each meal with salad as a back up. Also used miso soup as a snack when needed.
  2. I have always felt that I was too big, my three sisters are all petite and even skinny. I got up to 180 lbs at age53 and decided that I wanted to live longer and healthier for not just myself but my loved ones. Lots of exciting things like weddings, new houses, are happening with the children and I didn't want to be the 'fat mum' in the background. I was sleeved 5 weeks ago and did the pre op diet for six weeks before that to really shrink the liver and give the surgery the best chance. I lost 20lbs pre surgery and 16 lbs post, so 36 lbs so far. Just 24 lbs to go to goal. I eat very small portions now and can really tell when I am full. I bought very small bowls (about half a cup size) to help with knowing the amount to serve up. Sometimes even that is too much. Food that is easy to eat e.g. yoghurt, I tend to be wary of having too often as I can eat more of it. I have arthritis everywhere, another reason for the weight loss, and am not sure of the best, least painful exercise to begin with after walking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (My knees are not too good.)
  3. Hi, I have found that lean, thinly shaved ham is easy to eat as a snack and boosts the protien intake. I am 5 weeks out from surgery and can't stomach eggs still. Does anyone else have a problem with eggs, I used to have them regularly ( pre-op).
