RE: Digest Number 1559

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

This is only my second time posting....I read almost all the posts. I

am wondering how many of us here that are (or were) considered severely

mordbidly obese before surgery. I am 15 months out from surgery and

stopped losing weight almost three months ago. I am discouraged. I

have developed a few bad eating habits ....but nothing like before. I

am trying hard to concentrate on proteins and nothing else. I am so

afraid that my " opportunity to lose " has passed me by. I started at

480+ and am now down anywhere from 297 to 304...I keep hovering

unwaverlying....do any of you have any suggestions? I am open minded

....please feel to email me. I need help and guidance from someone how

has been there and is successful.

From what I hear, the " window " concept is just a statistical observation and

not a rule. If you're on a support list like this, you're already different

than many people who are not very educated about their surgeries and get no

support.

You mentioned protein. I supplement with protein shakes, but my doctor and

I personally feel that for physical fullness, bulky animal protein and other

bulky foods that don't dissolve in a glass of water will help you keep a

physical full feeling longer. The shakes help curb the nutritional hunger,

but a piece of fried chicken will stuff the pouch and keep it that way for a

while.

Also, I drink up until the time I eat, which some consider bad form, but I

absolutely refrain from water for as long as possible after eating.

Just my wordy $.02!
