  1. Yesterday made 7 weeks and I think I have officially hit my first stall :( Can anyont give any advice on how to kickstart my weight loss? Try different foods maybe?

      Thanks @jane13. Yea, I have an app where I literally enter everything I consume (mainly to keep track of my water intake). I've pretty much been sticking to an "Atkins" type of diet but also watching the fat content. I think maybe I'll try an extra 30 minutes of working out everyday to see if that helps.

  3. This past Monday I made 7 weeks post-op. Saw my doc and was told my daily portein intake should be 65 grams WITHOUT having to resort to shakes. WTW?!?! I am geting nowhere near that amount. Is anyone else having problems getting enough protein daily? Water? I was told at least 64 oz a day which is approximately 4 bottles of water - you would think that'snot a lot, but I can barely get 3 in a day. Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

      @emilyphoenix74, seems you and I are in the same boat. This phase is a little frustrating.

      @TaylorH, thanks! I also have been overweight since a child and I tried EVERY diet on earth, Atkins, Paleo, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutri System - you name it, I spent money on it! This surgery was the just the jump start I needed! I am all about positive living and uplifting women! If we don't look out for and love us, who will????

I used to hide form the scale, now I went a rought a new digital one that talks (loudly) and I welcome the sight of it every week! @krany813, nothing but happy days from here on out! #NORegrets
