Hi!

I am 3 months post opp and I somethimes stall or loose to slowly,have lost 42 pounds.

Will increase my protein too I know I am getting to little.

Did buy proteinrich food today hopefully it will work.

Hug from me!

Hey Music .... I too was at a stall for 2+months.... it was 5 months post op when my weight loss just stopped. After the 2nd month I increased the intensity and distance of my exercise... I went from walking to running and in about 2 wks the weight started coming off again but slowly. The strange thing was.. the weight stayed the same but I dropped a size - go figure.

I get about 50+ grams of Protein a day from a Protein shake the "+" is cottage cheese or nuts I may have. How are you getting all your protein in? I just may up mine and see what happens.

I am like you during this stall the weight stayed the same, but my clothes fit better. I have tried really hard not to pay attention to the scale and focus on the inches.

Yes it tastes like an orange push up pop. I can choke it down with just 4oz of milk.

Tell then you heard about them from a barker patient!

Oh cool to know. There is a store here in Charlotte so will be checking it out today. I love orange & need some variety. Thanks!
