Hi, I have only lost 26 pounds in five months :-(

I have got a 1.9cc fill as my first fill. I am exercising, but just cannot seem to control my intake.

a typical day: Big grilled chicken salad

two pieces of pizza

3 yogurts

poptarts, grits

fruit

(1600 calories)

Those turkey pepperoni chips sound like a great idea. Thanks Wheetsin

You are eating too much food. I would go in for a fill if I were you. I eat 800-1000k calories a day. This is my daily intake:

Protein shake

Tuna fish salad

100 calorie popcorn

Protein and vegie for dinner

yogurt in between.

If you can eat 1 pieces of pizza you need a fill. Good luck.

you guys are so awesome for the tips, I will try to increase my protein count and stop eating so much and start thinking sensibly. I just realized, I CANT COOK! I also scheduled myself for a fill after reading your responses.

Since you don't cook...maybe those frozen Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice. They aren't always the best, but better than junk.

I suggest the South Beach Diet dinners with the Green Beans as the side. They are just right for me, and don't have too many carbs.

Sugar is the devil. Get off of it... easy to say and hard to do... I know.

Dear Chabutter:biggrin1:

We all need support and we all can have times when we eat the wrong stuff. None of us would have had the surgery if we could handle food properly "WELL" temptation.

Anytime you need a chat feel free. I am struggling at the moment got stuck at my current weight at the moment think i need a fill. I am able to eat naught stuff. I am far from perfert and temption creeps in. I can tell you. but most of the time I balance that with my determination to succede

First of all, 5 months is roughly 20 weeks, so you are losing between 1 to 2 lbs per week, which IS average, so you SHOULD be pretty happy about that, I think.

As for cooking, I realized I can't really either. I've gotten lots of marinades, and low calorie gravies, and usually I'll make up the gravy mix and put it in a pan, just covering some meat (beef/pork/chicken), and cook that in the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. The sodium can get a bit high, but it's easy, and you can just do up a veggie, like green Beans to go on the side. Once I started doing that, I was cooking for my fiance and myself almost every night. It's been pretty cool for us too, because he'll come down and help with the veggie or other side dish.
