    Update: I did finally get passed my stall after almost 4weeks and have since lost 8lbs. Im down 48 lbs now and am hoping to hit 50 soon. I really appreciate everyone's comments and help during this period of time as it has been both helpful and encouraging to keep going.

    Thank you so so much Jake H. Your comments help me feel so much better. And thank you for the suggestions of meals you do. Thank you everyone for your kind words and support ❤️. I'm thankful to have found this site, and to have such encouraging statements. I will keep my head up and update you all in a few.

    i was right where you are. the first two weeks my weight flew off, and then i stayed the same for a few week. i remember thinking, i already failed and this isnt gonna work for me. im doing something wrong. WRONG. i was soooooooo wrong. please just trust the process. stick to your diet. get your liquids in and at least try to walk once a day. in 2 months you will see a huge difference. just keep going. its going to be hard to talk your brain out of what it is already thinking. but please just sit back and enjoy this ride.

    i do this almost every single day and its been working for me

    8am protein shake
    10am - protein snack (almonds, quest chips)
    12pm- another protein shake
    2pm- protein snack
    dinner - some kind of protein meat and a veggie. i eat the protein first and if i can get to veggie then great.
    sugar free ice pop for and later cravings
    800-1000 cal/ day of me.

    this is just me. what has worked for me.

    started 386
    surgery -340 7/10
    today 254 10/31

    most importantly just breath. you are going to kill this!!

    Each person is different and your weight WILL fluctuate. Just stick to a high protein, >20g carbs, > 20g sugar diet. Also make sure you stay active. Exercise at least 30-45 minutes 6 times a week and the weight will start falling off in no time.

    Dear Newbie,

    My surgery was also October 1st! I have lost 17, and feel the same way, but I am trying to suppress those feelings. We are not failing. I keep reading that each experience is different. I believe that if we follow the program, we both will succeed.

    I had my surgery on Oct 1st. I am almost 4weeks postop, and lost 15lbs the first 2 weeks after surgery, but since then I havent been able to lose anything, in fact I've gained 3lbs. Im very frustrated and feel like I'm failing. Anyone have any advice? Also I can't figure out how to fill out my surgery stats if anyone can help me figure that out?
