Hi My name is Tiffany and I would love to meet and walk with you. When is a good day for you?

I’m almost 3 months post and I have tried pizza toppings but not the bread and only 1 time.

Hi, I’m eating baked chicken, lean lunch meat with low sodium, tuna, salmon, sardines, and chicken sausage. And I’m doing very well with these, 2-3 oz portions. No vomiting ever.

Hope this helps.

Happy Birthday!!! Keep up the good work.

Hi Stefie! I am not sure what is going on but you should get your blood work check just to make sure your Iron is not low. Good Luck!

Please do not panic. Everyone loses at a different rate and for me lack of calories in led to a minor slow down because my body decided less than 500 cals was a great point to invoke starvation mode. I upped my intake to 800 and immediately started losing again. Most importantly, weigh once a week, not daily, do your weekly measurements so you can see the inches fall away and ....... not a single one of us put on all the weight in 2 weeks, we sure as heck are not gonna see it fall off in 2 weeks....no matter how bad we all want that. Keep doin what you need to, walk, sip and get your Protein in and the rest will take care of itself. Keep the faith, you are doing great

Thank you very much for your reply. I think your insight about the calorie intake may help. I have emailed my nutritionist to see if I can add more Protein per day. Add increase my calories to 800. Also, I’m gonna kick that scale to the curb and walk more. BEST ADVICE! Thank you.

I think I will be a slow loser. I don’t want to give up because the weight is not coming off as fast as I expected. It would really suck it I only lost 15 lbs in 30 months. I think I would go crazy, I already think the surgery failed me. I’m trying to stay positive.

Thank you, I will stay the course.

I thought this was going to be way easier.

Thank you for your advice. Do you think I should walk more maybe 1 hour a day or so? I’m walking 30 mins but just because I just had the surgery. Do you think I should go back to the liquid stage for a week or 2 more?

I’m 2 weeks post op and I have only lost about 7 pounds. I am following the diet as required and I am also walking 30 mins per day. I’m getting scared this may not have worked for me. Shouldn’t the weight be falling off? On surgery day my weight was 229, the scale today said 222. What should I do?
