Not sure if I should be frustrated or not..... I've lost 36lbs since surgery(2/12), but the last 2 weeks have been next to nothing. Exercise has been slow with having 6 knee surgeries in the past. But I don't want that to be an excuse. I don't want any excuses! I have seen a lot of great stories on here and I want to be one of them. I heard males lost more and faster, but I may be an exception. Staying positive no matter what!

Okay-you have lost over five pounds a week. i don't think you can get discouraged at this time. If you told me you had not lost weight for the last two months then I would say I would be frustrated. Don't have unrealistic expectations. A loss is a loss and as long as you are going down on the scale be happy. Ask yourself if you could have lost 36 pounds in 5 weeks without the surgery. I am 8 weeks out and have lost 39 pounds and am very happy. If I compared myself to you I could be depressed but I know we all lose at different rates.

You're right. Just lost so fast the first 2 weeks and not much after that. Sometimes I've got to remind myself that this is for life and not a short term fix. Thanks and best of luck to you

I had surgery on 2/14, and I am at 35. I have also had a total of 9 surgeries on my legs (6 knee). I have just been walking and recently started the elliptical. It's remarkable how much better my legs feel. I had a slow week around wk 3. Now it's picking up. It just takes time. Best of luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
