Robin!
Do tell us what you are eating.. or is it the extra exercise that has those extra pounds gone from you? You are doing an awesome job!
I lost this entire week with some constipation and new meds that were keeping my weight up. I really wanted my normal 2 1/2 pounds this week and got nothing! At only 6 weeks, it's horribly disheartening.

Lori Here: 235/200/130 -- don't know inches.
Struggles: eating too fast and snacking! The 100 calorie packs are getting me into trouble with snacking. And of course exercising -- need to do more.
What I'm proud of: my size portions at meal time and getting in my protein.
Focus: Only eat my 3 meals, get my fluids in and put my spoon down! And exercise more!

Hi my surgery was on 3/29 242/218/150.
Struggles: I miss popcorn!!
I'm Okay with: getting all my protein in and I drink right at 64 oz. a day of water.
I am really trying to start an excercise program but I am not quit there yet.
Has anyone gotten noticed yet on their weightloss by someone who doesn't know about the surgery?
Robin and Becky, It is great that you both work out so much. What is sashimi?

Hi everyone--thanks for the responses.
I think I have figured out for certain that I am lactose intolerant.
Cutting out the cottage cheese has improved things dramatically.
For a while there I thought I might poof up and rise like a balloon.
My diet now looks like this:
2 soy milk and Unjury protein powder shakes
some sort of meat and vegetable stew
WATER
Vitamins
So far this has really helped the bloat factor.
Hopefully it will soon help the weight loss plateau as well.

I was wondering the same thing. I responded to a post several days ago and there had only been 1 post since then.
I had surgery 3/21/07.
243/204/130 not sure how many inches lost
Struggles: not hungry at all most of the time, nothing tastes good except sashimi, and filet mignon; I have been stalled for the last three days!!!!
What I am proud of: I exercise for at least an hour everyday - most days and hour and a half; I can walk 5 miles at a time on a n incline at 4mph without any problem; I am almost into a size 14 from a 22/20.
Focus for next week: diiversifying ym workout
Happy Mother's Day,
Robin

Hi Rita,
Becky here
240/217/136
Don't know my inches.. I think I will try this weekend to measure.
My struggles are : Not being happy with the weight loss so far and weighing WAAAY too much. I even weigh when I get home from work after eating and drinking all day and then I freak out! It's insane but I have done it all my life. I am also struggling with taking my prescription iron because of the side effect.
What I'm proud of: I learn this week how to get in about 100 to 110 oz of water a day and i"m working to bump up my protein to about 90. I am also walking just over a mile a day almost every day.
Focus: to walk more and put the scale away
Peace,
Becky

My brother has had this as well and he is 9 months out. His is worse than mine. First...cottage cheese does have lactose in it...don't think that would cause a problem though. Chances are it is the new plumbing. my dr. prescribed a pepcid a day for potential ulcers and I rarely have problems. My brother started taking these and his has gotten a ton better...maybe this will help you too!!!!

Okay...I know you are all out having a great time in your bods that are gettin healthy BUT we need to step up the communication! I am in need of some serious support through this whole food thing and I am SURE I am NOT in the boat alone. Where is everyone that was here two months ago?????? We need a role call and an accountability check! I'll start!
Rita's HERE 311/276.8/145 27 inches lost
Struggles: eating too fast!!!!! Getting my protein and water in!!!
What I'm proud of: I don't drink when I eat which is a BIG accomplishment for me!
Focus for next week: Take small bites and sip sip sip!
I would love to hear from all the other Marchies!!!!!!!!
With a smile,
Rita
Topic: RE: 2 month Follow up...
Yay!! I'm so glad to hear about how you all are doing too!!! I am right there with all of you with the fast start and stall. I have decided it has something to do with the monthly visitor! I started at 311 and last friday I was at 274.6 (-37 lbs). That was at six weeks. This morning a week later I weigh 276.8!! EEEEEK! BUT I am on my period and bloated terribly so I know its water weight. I didn't realize a gallon of water weighed so much! Before surgery I would always gain exactly five lbs on my period and then it would drop off within a couple of days. So that means I really have lost weight this week so I can't weight to see those lbs come off!
You are all doing great!
Rita

This is so cool. I had my surgery on March 8th and I hit 214 this morning. I am down 39 lbs. The same thing happened to me with the fast lose then almost nothing. I lost 26 lbs in the first four weeks then only 7 in the next four. They told me I had to get my calories up to 700 to 1200 also. I started eating more and lost 6 lbs in the last week. Hang in there, you'll lose those 19 lbs in no time. It is so cool finding someone who is close to my surgery date and doing so similar to what I am as far as the weight loss. I about flipped when I only lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks. Aparently we are both right on track. Keep up the good work.
