  1. Yes! I regret waiting so long. It’s been a little over a year and the losing slowed to about 3 lbs a month but for the last 6 months and I’m down 100 lbs. I only throw up if I over eat so I don’t over eat. I see the same hard working people in the gym for the past and feel for their daily struggle. But because of the surgery every thing I do helps me loose weight. Good luck!

  3. I was told liquids only 24 hours prior. I said goodbye to food up until then. I would let the doctor know.

  13. Great news. During this time did you hit a stall? What was your exercise like and about how many cal were you averaging?

  15. Treadmil and elliptical machine. I spend about an hour in the morning and about 55 min in the evening.
  16. I had my surgery on February 13 this year and surgery went fine. I lost about 45 pounds to date and did not have any issues. I’m trying to prevent stalling because the weight was coming off pretty regularly and now it has drastically slowed down. I burn about 700 cal a day and my energy is fine. My main issue is getting enough calories. I consume on average about 500-600 cal a day if I’m lucky. I get 90-100 g of protein mostly from shakes. I never get hungry and forget sometimes to eat. I’m not looking to consume more food just raise my calories but I am worried about stalling. Did anyone stall because of too few calories and if so what did you do to balance it?
  17. For me it is shrimp and fish. I haven’t eaten them in years. Now I crave them all the time. Also I can’t stand chicken anymore. Go figure.
  18. I'm on my third week as well and have the same symptoms. One of the things I've noticed that helps me is eating very slow and even before I think I'm full I wait 15 minutes. It only takes three spoonfuls of whatever I'm eating to feel very uncomfortable and it feels like it's coming back up. This helped me and I hope it helps you to
  19. I just started my third week and to my surprise the doctor said that I could have fish. So I tried grill tilapia it has loads of protein and very low in fat which he said it didn't matter. I am also tired of soup and even though I love eggs I now get nauseous after the second bite and feel full. It is now a struggle to find enough protein without drinking the shakes which are not that bad to me I drink the premier and I've lost 30 pounds in two weeks. The doctor said that I need to add more protein so if you have any suggestions on other high-protein low-carb it'll be great.
