Darlene I am sorry you aren't getting the results you wanted. I have a few suggestions that may help, or you may already be doing these things: No sugar. No calories as liquids. Low carb diet--protein and non-starchy veggies only. 60-70 grams of protein every day. 70-90 ounces of water or other non-calorie non-caffiene fluids every day. Exercise 5 times a week with thirty minutes of aerobic activity 5 times a week and three sessions of strength building a week (you can get both kinds of exercise in 30 minutes at Curves). How tall are you and what surgery did you have? At six months we should have lost 50% of our excess weight with the RNY or DS. If you had a VBG or lap-band weight comes off slower.

-78 and happy!! good luck to you all!! lisa

Hey Regina, I eat two 3-4oz meals a day and drink one protein shake for breakfast. After dinner, I may have cottage cheese w/fruit or another low carb snack, if I can fit it in... since I'm usually trying to get in my liquids as well. What you're eating is not bad, sounds pretty reasonable to me. Shawna Postop 380/276/150

ok ok, seems I was about 2 weeks premature in this lol. The scale at the gym that I had been using according to the trainer there runs very high and often is very misleading. Oh well. But as of today at my doc appt for my 6th month visit (at 5.5 months) I am NOW officially down the 100 lmao. Charlotte 11.26.03 375/now 275/???

I just needed to share my happiness. I am 6 months and one week out. I have lost 90 lbs as of today and I am no longer "morbidly obese", no longer "severly obese", no longer "obese"....I am just "overweight"!!!!!
