well don't get on the scales everyday...Only once a week and just keep working at it and will eventually come off...if your not losing weight it might be inches...Just be patient and it will work...Do get discouraged because you don't see any results... Good Luck to all...

Definitely take your inches. It took until after I hit the green zone that I started loosing much quicker. I work out doing all kinds of exercise, I get bored easily. This takes time, it will really be worth it!!

Hi and congrats on your decision to jangle your life : )

Three Questions:

1- How many calories are you consuming each day and is this exact (weigh measure etc...) or a Ballpark number ?

2- How much sleep are you getting each night?

3- What time of day are you exercising?

Hi Allie,

Do you find that sugar-free sweeteners get in the way of weight loss? I always drink decaffeinated tea with splenda in it, I was wondering if that good hinder my weight loss being that you mentioned it above. Thanks

The time right after surgery is for healing and many people stop losing and some even gain. I agree that this is not a time to be weighing your self every day. Also veggies will not make you lose. You should be eating high protein and eating your protein before veggies or fruits. If you do not have your doctor's guidelines for eating you might want to get that and/or see a nutritionist that works with your doctor.

are you talking to the doctor office? take this time to heal

You've still got about 4 more weeks of healing before you can start your journey. So relax, follow the doctors orders, drink Protein shakes, don't worry be happy.

Until you get some fills and you feel some restriction this is just like any other diet. If you want to lose weight during this phase, you must consume enough protein to feel satisfied and you will have to keep your calorie consumption to under 1200-1000. And the amount of fat you lose may only be 1-2 lbs a week if you follow a strict diet plan.
