Up your protein.

I am really struggling to get myself to loose faster.......protein is my biggest problem!! I drink water go to gym, but just cant get enough protein....shakes make me feel sick!! I am so frustrated!! 3 months now and only lost 44 pounds

Sounds like you are doing well to me. Try chicken or turkey it has lots of protein in a tiny amount

What is the total amount you want to lose? 44 is wonderful! I'm not far behind you. I've had stalls that I thought would never end. Keep up the good work and you will get there. I found a lime Greek yogurt that I really like. It has 13 grams of protein. I drink an Atkins shake(ready to drink-can't stomach the ones you shake up) every morning, 15 grams. I use reduced fat Ritz, low fat cheese and low fat lunch meat, I eat about five and get roughly 8 grams out of that. My hair is falling out from where I had such a hard time in the beginning. Doing great now though. Almost 50 pounds gone. I can't believe in just a few days I will be halfway to my goal already! This surgery has been a life saver, even though it almost killed me in the beginning...lol!

Congrats you are doing awesome

Well, I started out on 9/11/12 at 344, and today at 254, so I should not be whining, but unable now to really keep anything down. Tuna makes me gag, protein drinks , Yuchi, little scrambled eggs ok. Does anyone have a good food suggestions?

Doing much better' date=' thanks! Still not quite getting enough protein in but I feel good most days. My surgeon doesn't seem as strict as most. I'm allowed carbs in moderation. But I don't have hundreds to lose either. I can eat most healthy things in small amounts. I ate a few of my sons French fries the other night and ended up with the foamies....yuck!

Yeah, I don't do well with French fries they tend to get stuck.
