DG725 got a reaction from Zebby67 in I don’t feel much different!Okay so you and I are having a similar experience and I have to say I have been feeling super frustrated because I see people losing 40 pounds in a month and I am closer to 20 3 months out....but, I recently saw my nutritionist and she said I am drinking too much water (which I didnt even know was a possibility?) But she told me to me very strict about not xri king before or after eating for an hour....the other thing she mentioned was super important...I had been doing a keto diet pre-surgery and it was really helpful and working! But, with my new tummy, I can't stay eating the same level of fat....so, I need to watch calories, cut out that cheese I had been ingesting....I have been working out, eating healthy....taking my vitamins....but, I am taking what she said into consideration and trying my best to lower my fat, increase my protein and not drink before or after meals...and I lost 5 pounds since seeing her....but, and I know this is just supposed to be a tool and not a miracle...I have worked really hard to lose each and every pound...oh and I am going bald, not very happy about that...sigh...

DG725 got a reaction from Zebby67 in I don’t feel much different!I started logging my food on my Fitbit, a long with my exercise and the fitbit actually breaks my food intake into carbs, fat, protein and my fat even now tends to be higher than I would have ever imagined....I would suggest trying that, if you have a fit bit so you can see the calories, fat, carb, protein intake...for me, it was all overwhelming, frustrating...I was feeling very defeated and looking at these things helped me to see some of what I was unknowingly doing wrong...

DG725 got a reaction from rs in Protein shakesI am 3 months post op, my weight loss has not been as much as my doctor would have a anticipated and she doesnt want me drinking shakes...but, they are a great source of protein...how far out from surgery are you? Do you still drink shakes? And which, aside from premier protein do you love most? Brand and flavor please...[emoji106]

DG725 got a reaction from Wickedwinner in I don’t feel much different!I felt the same way and 3 months out I have lost a lot less than others have...They say we are lucky to not feel restricted, but a part of me was relying on those restrictions...sigh
