My Surgery was December 23, 2014. I lost 15 pounds by my 3 week visit and doc said I was ahead of schedule. Well since I've only lost another 30. I do know most times I don't eat enough.. I simply can't so I have started back to 1 Protein shake a day.

Also Doc told me at week 6 I can drink wine, and I've been drinking it ever since.Advice please.anyone experiencing this sloooooooowww pace?

I'm afraid doc will have a few choice words for me next month on my 6 moth visit....

It was only when I took a heavy parcel to the post office and noticed it was the same as my weight loss total to date that it dawned on me how much I had shed. I was happy with that figure, the bariatric nurse said slow and steady was good, the nutritionalist seemed OK, only the consultant tore a strip off me. Do they all think their skills extend to motivational speaking? Most should stick to slicing and dicing.

Alcohol is fine and won't hurt you but they are very high in calories. A bit occasionally is fine but u will it lose weight and will gain weight with too much alcohol. One margarita can have as much as 800 calories. That's a daily intake for most. So keep that in mind
