Hello WLS Friends I am comming on to ask any advise or tips for any of you 5+ months out for jump starting your weight loss, what do you do change you eating exsercize ?? what let me know. My boyfriend has a big Christmas party coming up 12/9/11 and I really really want to lose as much weight as I can before then .... let me know your tips peeps!! Thanks

P.S I am 6 month post op tommorro YAY I will post some pics!

GL! I'm 2 1/2 months post and can't seem to lose more than 10lbs a month no matter what I do. I'm ok with that though. I hope you can find something that works for you, but have fun either way.

If you haven't been doing the low carb diet that's en vogue with many of the programs, you can try that - the extra kick from the ketosis derived from keeping under 30-40 g per day may be of help for you (and it may make no difference, but it's worth a try.) Also, try ramping up your exercise - whether you have noticed or not, whatever exercise that you were doing early on isn't doing so much anymore since you've lost a fair bit of weight and everything has gotten easier. I have to keep reminding myself to keep working a bit harder because while it still feels the same, my heartrate has a much harder time rising to the effective cardio and calorie burning zone than it did 2-3 months ago.

Good luck on it - weight loss does slow down over time and you are losing at a reasonable rate if you have patience, but I understand wanting to be down as much as poss for the holidays.

Thanks to both of you!!
