I am 4 1/2 months out from my surgery and I wonder if I am eating too much. I eat 3 meals and a snack each day and I usually go 4 - 5 hours between meals. I am focusing on protein and am on regular foods and drink 84 oz of water per day but I seem to be able to eat several ounces before I feel the restriction. I have been on a plateau for some time and can't seem to budge the scale. I am also going to the gym 5 days a week (Zumba Gold 3 days and machines 2 days).

I just can't seem to get the scale to move no matter what I try! I am getting in my water (84 oz per day), protein, exercising 5 days per week at the gym. I'm not gaining but I'm not losing either. I'm starting to wonder if I have lost all that I am going to lose. I am eating 4-5 oz for a meal, (3 meals & 1 snack per day according to my surgeon's instructions). I've tried adding a protein shake or a protein bar just to make sure I am getting enough protein. Getting very frustrated! On

I tried a "recipe" that someone mentioned on one of their posts and it actually worked! I have to admit I was skeptical! You line a pie plate or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pile fat-free mozzarella cheese on it, top with turkey pepperoni, turkey sausage, and pizza sauce (there is one that I like called Pizza Squeeze and it is in a bottle like catsup). Top with more mozzarella cheese and bake at 375 for about 20 minutes till sauce is bubbly and cheese is brown. The bottom cheese

I am 8 weeks out and for a while I have been having some tenderness on my left side about 1/2 way up. My drain was on that side so I am thinking that must be the side they did a lot of work on. Has anyone else had this? I also started doing a walking tape and am wondering if the exercise could be doing it? Is it possible to hurt my "insides" this far out if I am only doing a 1 mile walking tape?

Today is my first appointment with my trainer at the dreaded gym. I have been stalled for a while now so am hoping the added exercise will help but I have never exercised, even when I was younger. Now, I am 64 and scared to death of going to the gym; afraid I won't be able to do what they ask me to do. I definitely need something to jolt me out of this stall, though.
