Topic: Working on 7 months
I had a friend who had the surgery 2 months before me. She told me that she was told that the weight loss slows around the 5 and 6 month but will start back up again around the 7 or 8 month. Has anyone else heard of this? I was just curious since we were working on our 7th month. I have been at a slow weight loss for my 5 and 6 month. I hope that it will pick back up around the 7th month. She told me that she is losing about 4 pounds a week now. She is working on her 9th month now. Please let me know what you guys think.

Topic: RE: Anyone 5' ?
Hi Melissa,
I was 5' 2" I have gained an inch making me 5' 3" I didn't know I would gain height.
Pre-op I weighed 378#'s
Day of surgery I weighed 312 #'s
Two weeks ago I weighed 212#'s.
I have lost a total of 167 #'s. I had surgery on November 17th, 2005. I am still losing weight at a good pace, about 4 pound's a week. Hope this helps
God bless you,
Annette
Topic: RE: What do you eat daily?
Thanks!
That gives me some ideas for sure!
Peanut butter seems to get stuck and then it makes me sick for a few hours, I guess it's the sugar?
I didn't even think of cottage cheese- yum!
Baked egg roll? where do you get that at?

Topic: RE: What do you eat daily?
I don't cook at all and my husband travels about 2 weeks each month. Following are my staple foods.
I don't necessarily eat these things on a daily basis, but this is my basic list of foods (minus red meat and cheese) that I eat on at least a twice weekly basis:
boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can get this at almost any restaurant)
tuna steak (you can get this at nicer restaurants)
refried beans (you can get these at Taco Bell anywhere in America, just order them without the cheese)
almonds
soy nuts
protein powder mixed with high-protein lactose-free "milk"
Power Crunch bars
Pure Protein bars
SF popsicles
I will occasionally eat the following:
an egg roll (baked not fried)
edamame
I don't eat these things, but have you tried:
cottage cheese
low-carb yogurt
peanut butter
turkey breast (my husband loves the Boar's Head Peppered Turkey Breast available at some grocery deli counters)
I know I eat more diverse foods than this, but I depend on cheese a lot, and I took anything with cheese in it off this list.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Topic: What do you eat daily?
I am running out of food choices!
I have very little if any time for cooking.
What are some of the things you eat.
I cannot tolerate red meat or cheese. Any suggestions?

Congratulations!!
I'm way behind in the loss department it seems, but happy to see so many of us doing so great!

I'm currently losing and regaining the same 3-4 pounds even though I upped my protein and exercise. Just one of those weeks I guess. My goal weight is 140, but my surgeon says it will depend on my labs and how I look when I get closer to goal.
