How did it go.

Mines too them damn breast.lol but in the meantime I have been taking a collagen supplement in my smoothie. The doc. Says collagen has to be ingested to have any kind of real effect.

Ohh that’s a great tip. Where did you get yours from?

Amazon it's in a black container with turquoise writing called pure hydrolyzed collagen peptides. I been doing it for a month and I think I see some bounce back in my breast tissue.

So I had my 3 month visit today and am officially down 70 lbs . My surgeon seemed kind of shocked. Did anyone else’s surgeon/nutritionist seem surprised by your weight loss?

Yes, mine were.

Yes, mine were.

Good to know I’m not alone .

Yes but surprised at how slowly I'm losing

How long ago was your surgery and how much have you lost ?

44lbs

Okay we actually had our surgeries pretty close. I think my diet before the surgery was so bad and once I went on a sugar free carb free diet it put my body into shock.

I’m surprised they thought that wasn’t fast enough. I don’t think 44lbs is a little, that a huge accomplishment.
Did they suggest anything to help increase weight loss?

We don't really talk about calories much but are you supposed to be consuming a certain number of calories? I had my 3 Month post-op meeting with my surgeon last week and he reminded me that I'm supposed to be consuming 1200 calories or less everyday.

Also happy to report that I'm officially down 63 pounds as of today!

Congrats on 63 down!

At my 3-month group appointment, my nutritionist told us to keep it below 1000 calories, but then told me separately I could go "a little over that" because I'm tall, but then refused to tell me what "a little over" means in terms of, you know, calories. I'm sometimes not sure even nutritionists know what's up sometimes. From what I've gathered on the internet, most doctors recommend somewhere between 900 and 1200 for the stage we're at right now.

I was sugar free carb free for a while before surgery, I wonder now...
No suggested changes, I'm following the plan. Maybe more exercise but I can't for a while.
Congrats on your success!

My doctors gave no pertinent information everything I have learn was either on this board, fb, or Dr. Duc vuong YouTube channel

Thank you !

Yeah I did sugar free , carb free until yesterday . My doctor told me with my weight loss I can begin to safely add low quantities of carbs back into my diet.

I do really think it’s my walking and swimming is what has boosted my weight loss but I don’t push myself I don’t do it on the weekend and if I’m tired or need a day off I take it . Just do what you’re comfortable with.

Well yesterday was an extraordinary day I had to walk my dog to the vet walk her back pick my son up early from school take him to the ent and then I did my follow up, so I was out and running around since 745 am and didn’t get home until almost 7pm. I generally average about 15 thousand steps a day because I have to take two children to school. Then I commute to work which is an hour 1 bus and two trains. Then I’m running from meeting to meeting at work and rushing memos around for signatures etc... then running to pick up kids, walking my dogs and cooking dinner.

When I say carb free I mean no rice no bread no pasta no potatoes.
