My doc says to get 60g protein a day, which I find very difficult to reach without protein shakes.

Amen! My stomach just will not hold enough food with with protein so to get it I have to drink protein drinks.

Does anyone feel like their weight loss is stalling? I feel like first 2 weeks were awesome and next 2 were slow

I did well the first 3 weeks after surgery and then stalled for the next 2 weeks.

Did it pick up again after?
Yes it has started to pick up again. I also started exercising more which helped as well.

Weight loss is REALLY slow again even though I just finished walking over 35 miles this week.

I got sick this week and that broke my stall. My tummy is sore from coughing, but at 5.5 weeks post surgery, I'm down 25 pounds. I'll take it. I've seen lots of folks with numbers better than mine, but I won't complain about 5 pounds a week.

Wore the first non- shapeless dress to work Friday, and so many people noticed! The variety of comments went from You are melting away - to - hunny what you lost I found.

It was nice to hear the world noticed.
