Is there such a thing as loosing too much weight too fast. Sometimes I think, I am.

Not complaining, just wondering. One time it was 5 lbs. in a week.

mbridgeman27,

I started out at 275 in mid Jan. I am now at 218. Diet consist mostly Protein, eggs, lots of fish, skinless chicken, some carbs such as small amounts of grits, rice, and Pasta. Bananas and strawberry protein shakes or smoothies for breakfast a few times a week. (Bluebonnet Isolate Whey Protein) exercise about 5 days a week (all aerobic, no weight training). Strawberry lemonade (crystal lite lemonade flavor mix, fresh strawberries, few packs of equal, 2 qt. Water & blend).

WOW YOU ARE DOING GREAT WITH YOUR WEIGHT LOSS!!! THAT STRAWBERRY LEMONADE SOUNDS DELICIOUS. I'VE GOT TO MAKE ME SOME OF THAT! LOL :-)

meat, cheese, eggs, greek yogurt. I never used shakes. I just focused on eating as much meat as possible. I ate tons of beef and chicken, seafood was a once or twice a week thing. It's not my favorite food, and it was not something I ever prepared at home unless it was tuna or some crab mixture. Tilapia and mahi mahi are the only fish I really like, and I typically screw those up when preparing at home.

The main veggies I ate were green Beans, broccoli, and refried or pinto beans.

I ate poached eggs with cheese, ground meats, tons of deli meat with cream cheese, chicken and beef made in the crock pot. I ate tons of leftovers. I'd prepared 2-3 cups of a specific food, and freeze individual portions for easy meals.

Did you have any problems with the beef? My doc told me to avoid it for 6 months!!! I didn't tolerate it well with my band, but I used to be a heavy meat eater pre-banding.

I knew before I had my surgery that I would never have that problem (I wish I did!) of losing too much or too fast, sigh...I'm not complaining though, I' m very happy where I am
