4 monthers--how is everyone doing?
My surgery was 5/6 and I'm doing great. I was fortunate to find a protein drink before surgery that I still love after surgery. No complications. Too much fat in the food makes me feel sick. No problems with sugar (unfortunately) but I try to stay clear of both. I've lost almost 50 lbs. Some days.. most days it takes little to fill me up. Some days I feel like I've eaten too much. I have thought about tracking my food again to only eat 3 meals a day, get the right amount of protein and very little carbs. I'm off my blood pressure meds, off my cholesterol meds, A1C is within normal limits so hopefully this means my diabetes is gone. Just need to get rid of the C-pap. How are you doing? What are your bad days and good days like ?
Hi,
I am doing ok. Been a bit depressed lately coz in my mind I am not doing very well or as well as I hope to do. I lost about 50 pounds so far and my surgeon is not disappointed but he isnt very happy either. I used to exercise once a day for 15 mins so I upped that to twice a day and hoping it works. Sometimes I miss a day or two coz of me just feeling really tired, and my right knee hurts sometimes, but I am going to make an extra effort to get this done. I dont know, just this week was tough for me. Hopefully next week I will toughen up my mind power and willpower and do better. This week I didnt stick to anything, my diet, taking my vitamins, drinking my water... nothing. I fell off the wagon u could say, so I've been disappointed in myself. But I am gonna make a stronger effort. I have to, I have no choice. I need to be healthy and this is what it takes so I am going to do this.
How much weight have u peeps lost so far?

I'm down 66 lbs from my surgery weight of 314. I feel good, but I have had a lot of trouble being disciplined and orderly about my vitamins and meds, and I'm definitely not drinking enough water. I get about 50-60oz of water in, and about 60-70oz of protein, but I do have problems with constipation. I'm terrified of eating sugar, have only dumped once (minor--it was on a piece of falafel!) and still have some trouble with chicken. My problem now is that I am not getting enough exercise....any ideas?
And ativar, don't worry. 50lbs is huge. Feel good about it and keep mixing it up and you will be great!
