  1. i started to drink a Protein shake again hoping it would kick my stall. get on the scale and i gained 2lbs!!!! what??? i keep my carbs under 30 and with a Protein Shake my protein is about 70, i work out on my eliptica 4x a week. starting to think my body just wants to be this heavy.
  2. i havent been on here much latly but im just a little over 5 month post op and im down 53 lbs.. from my heavest im down 100 lbs. Feels great to get all this extra weight off!!! Im fitting into a size 16 which i havent worn since before i had my kids. for the last month i have been stalled out stuck at 187, im starting to get discouraged that im not going to lose any more weight. i know that im lower in weight and it will be slower to come off but 4 weeks of nothing! UGH!!! When i think about what i eat and how much, i cant understand why the weights not coming off. Any one have any ideas on how to jump start the weightloss agian? or how long your longest stall was?
  3. 3 month post op today and im down -40 lbs. My goal was to be at 200 by today and i made it!!! WooHoo!!! im a slow loser any time i dieted so i figured i wouldnt lose as fast as some on here but im happy with where i am. Next goal is to get to 187lbs that makes me 100 lbs down from my heaviest.
  4. im 3 months today and down -40 LBS. Im a slower loser than some on here but anytime ive dieted it came off slow so im happy.
  5. your looking good!!! ive lost 33.8 lbs since we had surgery on the Oct 11th. Im at 206 Woohoo! 6lbs and im out of the 200s.
  6. i know how you feel, i lost weight my first 2 weeks post-op and than nothing for 3weeks. Than i lost some last week and this week nothing. im trying to stay positive too. i know how hard it is, to see people losing alot while we fight for every pound we lose. Your not alone we can do this together:rolleyes:
  7. i did it! I lost 5lbs this week!!! WooHoo! i guess the extra protein shake worked
  8. i take 2 scoops of chocolate protein and a packet of sugerfree hot cocoa and mix it together with warm water. to me its way better and not as sweet i can get it in without gaging.
  9. Ive only lost 1lb in the past 3.5 weeks so I doubled up my protein shake starting yesterday to see if that will help me. Also I found away i can get the protein shakes in better, instead of 1 scoop of protein and 8oz milk Im doing 2 scoops of protein, a package of suger free hot cocoa and 16oz of water. To me its not as sweet or thick and i can handle it alot better. Thanks for all the encouragment I really needed it!!! I'll let you know on Monday when i weigh in if I was able to break the stall.

  11. lilmissdiva-im trying to get the water in, i feel like im drinking all day long. i used to be a big water drinker and a gulper now to only take small sips all day drivers me crazy. im going to try to drink a extra protein shake for the next week to see if that will help me. I dont eat canned soup I made the soup and the pickel was the size of my little pinkey. today ive gotten in 16oz of water so far and going to go make a 16oz protein shake which will take a few hours to drink.(there gross)
  12. OMG! im going to cry! i decided to only weigh myself 2xs a week so i get on the scale and it said i gained 2.5 lbs. I DONT GET THIS!!!! What Im i doing wrong??? Im eatting about 60gs of Protein, under 30g of carbs, and getting in about 40-45oz of Water a day. Here are the types of foods Im eatting: cheese, yogert, chicken, ham, Soup, cottage cheese, refried Beans. Yesterday i had 1/4 cup refired beans with cheese 3x during the day i had a peice of ham with chedder cheese rolled up. a small tiny pickel chicken soup with fresh grilled chicken breast and avacoto Protein shake

    are you feeling like why did i do this? trying to look at the long term results, but i feel like maybe this is it.
  14. Thanks everyone!!! I normally get in about 40-45oz of water. Im trying to get in more i just feel like im going to explode. LOL! I drink 1 protein shake a day trying to help get in protein and calories. My big issuse is getting in enough to eat, Im lucky to get 2-3 bits of food in and then Im over full and get a pain in my belly. How can i get more calories and protein in if i cant eat much? (I hate protein shakes there to sweet) I have been doing supositories and most of the time i just pooh back out the liquidfied supository. i just bought some probiotics yesterday lets see if that help any.
