Ok.  I had surgery on july 18th 2008, just rounding out 3 months.  my weight lose has pretty much stopped moving.  i lost 1 lb last week.  1 lb the week before.  and so on.  i'm losing my pep, i think.  i've been working out 3-4 days a week.  i'm trying my hardest to get at least 60 grams of protein today.  the only thing i'm having a problem with is getting my fluids in.  yestereday was the beginning of me  jumping on that horse again and really trying.  i'm down 70lbs since the week before surgery.   any feedback would be helpful. thanks so much!  jen.

I had my surgery July 7th so I am right with you. I have lost 58 pounds since the surgery so you are doing great!!

I have a friend that had the same problem that you are writing about. She did not like water and could not get the fluids in. Her doctor told her that she had to find a way to get in the fluids. She added lemon to her water and within a week she started losing again.
Water plays an important key to weight loss. I keep a Styrofoam cup of water at my desk and drink it all day long. Try it, maybe it will give you the jump start you need.

Don't get down, at least you are losing weight. I get impatient sometimes so I know where you are coming from.

Anytime you need to talk, email me.
