Getting protein in at week 2 for me was very difficult! I agree with "clc9", you have to start your day early. Protein is a must, I didn't do well getting in my protein the first three weeks. I now add 30g of Genepro unflavored to about 6oz of water three times a day. It does get better. Best wishes!

You look great and an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good work!

I enjoy your comments and advice and it is greatly appreciated..Thanks

Mine started several days before surgery and I was so worried as my flow is pretty heavy. Like others mentioned, I was provided a pad and disposable panties! Best wishes

You look Fabulous!

@Ruth1less, you look awesome! Thanks for sharing your pics and the advice....Very inspiring! Take care

MxKitty & Sjfink, you ladies look amazing!

@Black2028, I totally understand you. My surgery was 2/8/17 and I was 284. I have only lost 11lbs. I am losing slow and following my plan. I thought the larger a person was the more he or she lose upfront. Apparently this isn't the case. I decided to stop weighing myself daily, stop comparing myself, and work the plan. Although, the scale isn't moving, I sure have lost a lot of inches! I am happy with that. You should be proud of yourself on your weight loss thus far. I know it isn't what you want to hear especially from people that has lost >30 lbs in 5wks...Hang in there!

@snapy17, I feel your pain. I am 3wks out and only down 11lbs. I am following the plan and I am still losing slow. I stop weighing myself everyday as I become depressed seeing the continued stall (7days thus far). I am just going to continue to follow the process and I know it will eventually come off. My advice is to decrease the carbs. I also here that 15lbs-20lbs a month is good. Oh, and I stop comparing myself to others. Best Wishes!

Will do, thanks so much!

@tronataizhane & sleevecomingsoon, thank you both for the thoughtful words. And congrats on the weight loss. I am still struggling getting all my Protein in and Water.. I will definitely keep "a lost is a lost" in mind....I know I will get there! Take care

@OutsideMatchInside&memphiswls, thanks so much for the advice. You guys and everyone that has commented have really lifted my spirits!!! Take care!!!

@kkami12 thanks for your encouraging words!! I am going to keep pushing! Keep up the good work too!!

@mylighthouse, thanks for your reply. I actually expected to lose at least 15lbs. As I mentioned before I used to weigh 400lbs and lost down to 250lbs through diet and exercise. And I gained 45 lbs back of the 150 that I loss and I have yo-yoed my ENTIRE LIFE!!!! My weight loss was faster during that process, I guess I expected it to be quicker after surgery..I agree as comparing myself has really discouraged me!!!!

Awww, thanks for the encouraging words!! Good luck to you too!!!
