Help Carb overload. The advise has been up-lifting. I'm 6 months out and at a stall for about 4 weeks. I've lost 40lbs from start weight 245 down to 205. I too have been eating way too many carbs. My nutritionist said carbs melt on your young before getting to the stomach is why you don't fill full like when you eat protien. When I stick to protien based foods I fill up fast, verses high csrb low protien foods. I buy protein drink boxes now with 30 grams of protiem you can get at Sams Club, Casco and Meijers. The brand is Premier Protein. I been contemplating going back to basics as one of have said, liquids for a week to break the habit of desiring old Carb habits and late might snacking Thank God for these forums. Xoco

Hi all, had sleeve surgery on Jan 13th. I've been nausea ever since the surgery having a hard time drinking anything every thing taste bitter and undesirable.

Congrats! I will have a date set when I see the surgeon on Dec. 5th but already know I will have to wait until the first the year for a date. Best wishes on your surgery, I know you're ready as I am too! Nice Christmas gift!

Glad to hear your on the right track. What procedure was your original surgery?

Pray for the doctors and anesthesiologist to have God in their mist and hands, and hand over your fear to God. Your in my prayers, God will be with you. Don't forget to thank him when it is over????

Very cool! Now the weight loss journey begins!

You're in my prayers!

I agree it seems like forever. I'm hoping for a Dec. date to save on surgery costs. We should be close to the same time.I wish you the best an edge will keep you in my prayers.

Bryan, I will be happy even if my weight loss is slow as long as I consistently lose as you have have. Nice job!

Thanks everyone for all your replies. All your answers were encouraging and have relieved me of the doubt and fear I've had about losing the long a waited weight I've carried so long. I haven't got a date set for surgery yet but everything is on track so soon I should know. I will keep in touch, I see this is good place for support. God Bless all of you!

I'm 60 and have a very difficult time losing weight. When dieting I can never get past losing 20lbs.The last weight managment quest I made was with the Medical Weight Loss center and only lost a total of 7lbs in 3 months. They were as baffled as I was and now I'm afraid I will get the same results with the surgery. Has anyone had this same problem presurgery? And if did surgery work for you?
