Topic: RE: Short people and weight loss
I am 5'3" and I have lost 82 lbs. I am up and down up and down. I had an appointment with PCP today as I am having gallbladder attacks. My PCP says it has to come out so I will see a surgeon tomorrow. I really think this has contributed to my slow down, at least I hope it is and when I get it out things will speed up again. I only need to lose 25 lbs to get to my goal as my wl surgeon never gave me a goal.
Love and Prayers

Emma, You are seeming to eat more than what I can, however your choices are much healthier. I get my protein in by my food if I can, and if I am low for the day I have an extra protein drink to get it where I need it. YOur food and snacks are all great choices. If you have seen some of my older posts, I dont snack well. way too many carbs, and some sugar too. I have been trying to eat healthier. im having touble lately, it seems everything I choose to eat makes me naucious except for spaghetti, and liquids. I have tried jello and pudding like on our liquid diets postop, and they dont make me feel sick either. If this keeps up I will probably stick with a liquid diet and more supplements, and protein drinks to make sure I get all my nutrients in. You are doing great, and looks like you are so close to reaching your goal!!!! I hope to make and stick to better choices. Hopefully after the baby is born I can get right on track to getting towards my goal weight also. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you posting more, I can get some great food ideas when I see what others are eating, lol- Melissa
Topic: RE: Short people and weight loss
I'm 5"1'. I reached the century mark at the 9 month point. I had surgery 5/10/04.
I started out 235.5 lbs with a BMI around 45. To date I weigh 131 lbs with a BMI of 24.6-8. (BMI under 25 puts me at a normal weight and not overweight).
I too walk, walk, and walk. I walk everywhere. I do own a car, however if I can walk to my destination I will. When I go shopping whether the mall or grocery shopping, I park my car as far away from the entrance as I can. I look for every opportunity to take stairs instead of an elevator.
Eleven moths ago on the day I was released from the hospital. I went home slipped on a pair of terry cloth flip flops and shuffled down around the roads (live in a rural area, no sidewalks). I told myself if I can walk through the pain and recovery of the surgery than as I got better it would never be as bad. I was right. I walk and jog all the time. Don't get me wrong when I first started out, I hurt all over, especially my knees and thighs. My husband would help me put ice packs on for twenty minutes on and 45 minutes off. I have a pair of Layne Giant; I mean Layne Bryant pants size 22 (They used to fit tight). I am now in 1s,2s,3s, and 4s. I actually weigh less and wear a smaller size than my 21 year old daughter. I too am a Sugar Free Jell-O fan. It really kills the sweet tooth craving and you get in liquids. I also take my vitamins and drink soy protein smoothies on a regular basis. Its been a long time since I have been referred to as being truly "petite".

Topic: RE: Monday's Eating!!!
I was in New York for a long weekend, and have no milk or food. So tonight I have to do some grocery shopping. Anyways, since I had no food for Breakfast I picked up from a restaurant: 1 egg overeasy, I ate 2 slices of bacon, and ate about an once of the hashbrowns (I know, bad, but they looked so good)
I haven't had a snack, and for lunch I think I'll eat another slice of bacon that is left, and 1 slice of wheat toast.
For dinner, I will probably have a protein shake (gotto go buy my carb countdown), and tomorrow, I will be on track again.
I hated NY!!!! The lights were beautiful in the evening, but way too many people...couldn't even walk around the city. I though Chicago was bad, no way!!

Topic: RE: OPPs I did it again ..
Why do we need 140g? That seems like alot!!! Then you add all the extra calories in, how will we lose weight? Wouldn't we maintain? I am not ready to maintain. I usually get in 60-90 grams of protein and 700-1000 calories a day as is. Just curious, if you could help me understand, because my doc says that my eating and calories and protein intake are great!
Thanks!!
