Question, I am 6 weeks out, have lost 45 lbs and now I'm under 200. I still can barely tolerate solid foods. I can only have about 2 grilled shrimp. I do better on soft foods like refried Beans or applesauce. Any one hear about this being a problem?

This is very normal at this stage - you're enjoying the restriction you paid for. I am at 4 months and some days I can eat more than others and some foods I still struggle with (I don't do well with shrimp, but chicken goes down well). Unfortunately the carbs slide better for me so I just try to make good carb choices. I think it sounds like you are right on schedule.

Me and you are in a different place weight wise, but I was doing a medium chocolate gladiator add Peanut Butter and Multivitamin and that would be all I had until supper. I think the gladiator is the only low carb one they have. Supper I would have something soft. Applesauce, Soup, Beans etc. But no more than this size of my new stomach. Which is like a pen or something. I would drank Powerade zero or Water throughout the day too.

Dr Borland patients check in!

I made 4 months on December 30th. Have lost 45 pounds which puts me at 156, 5'6". I'm 53 and have had a couple people tell me my face is looking gaunt so I'm probably going to slow it down and start trying to learn how to maintain. I'd like to start lifting some light weights now.

Tell me your stories and how you're doing!

That's great! You're doing terrific! Learning the food is tough and it changes as you go but just glad to be learning healthier habits. Keep up the good work!!

Everyone is doing great! I'm down 50lbs and seems like I hit a stall. I would like to lose another 15 to 20. I definitely need to hit weights and do cardio if I ever want abs. Bad thing is, 1 week after surgery I woke up one morning with a pinched nerve! 2 doctors have told me I need a fusion in my neck. Gonna be a long road ahead for me! I'll get through it, just delays my exercise for 6 weeks or so. Getting old sucks! Lol

Are you still doing good with your Water and Protein? How much of each are you getting daily? The ability to continue to lose for me has come down to 3 things: 1) Making sure I'm getting "enough" heathy calories. Unfortunately unhealthy calories seem to settle in my stomach better. This isn't helping build good habits but I'm continuing to try new healthy foods. 2) getting enough Protein and 3) getting 1/2 my weight daily in Water (75-80 ounces). I've hit a stall too but I know if I focus on these things it will break. You're doing great tho. I'm sorry about your pinched nerve. That's so painful!!!!

To be honest, which where I'm at and how I'm progressing, I have not concentrated on Protein at all. I have just been doing Atkins like eating. I got so damn tired of Protein shakes, so now I get what I need from the healthy fats.
