Re: I need some Help......Please!

Hi ,

I think you are doing fantastic on your weight loss. Everyone is

different and losses on a different scale but it looks to me like you

are doing great!

I am only 3 month out and I feel like I pig out sometimes too. I am

suppose to eat 6 times a day and it makes me feel like all I do is

eat. (My blood sugar is low)

I also would love to find a protein drink that I can at least

tolerate. I told my mom the other day that I feel like my body just

rejects the imitation protein and only prefers the protein from real

food. Cause i can take 2 sips of a protein drink and then I will

start to feel sick to my stomach.

Try walking for some exercise or riding a bike. Or is there

something that you enjoy doing? Swimming? Water Aerobics?

Keep your chin up and focus on the positive. You are doing great!

Take Care

, asking questions here is NEVER a bother! It's how we all learn to

get through this process as easily as possible, with better knowledge. I

think your weight loss is great! 81# is wonderful! I'm a little jealous

that you're 27 and have little excess skin....but I'm glad you found a way

at your age to get rid of the excess weight and avoid the medical

complications that come with it. To me, even at 6 weeks, 3 triscuits

w/cheese doesn't sound like too much. However, I haven't tried it yet, but

it sounds good. I've taken to weighing my protein so I know how much I'm

getting. If you can't drink the shakes, maybe the protein bars would work

for you. I've also heard on here recently a novel way to get extra protein

by adding powdered gelatin to hot drinks for 6 gms. extra protein. It's on

my shopping list. I don't think there is a " best " type of exercise to begin

with. Exercise in any form to start with it wonderful. For spot toning,

the exercise bands are good and I've been hearing more lately about weight

training.

hi andrea & welcome. there's a couple of websites that offer shake samples,

wlssuccess & vitalady if i remember right. the

Champion Whey by stack nutrition is grrreat! doesn't require a blender & i mix

mine w/ light soy milk, yum!

you're doing a great job.

regarding exercise, i say cardio & weight training, & if you're concerned about

loose skin, esp the latter. my reconstructive surgeon &

his asst said that they could tell i work out w/ weights. so i will make a

world of difference in your silhouette.

have u tried water loading to curb hunger?

n, glad I could help. Often it's me that needs to hear it. It's much

easier to feel that way when you're losing! LOL Wouldn't it be wonderful

to lose it all TODAY! On the other hand, maybe not....I need to learn a lot

more about the process so I'm ready to really work when I get to my goal.

Reading everyone's comments each day help solidify in my mind what I must

do, because I refuse to gain this back. I know it's my last chance, and I

feel too good getting healthier.
