Hi Rainbow. Thanks for checking on me. It has been a rough year but I'm hanging in there. Still struggling to stay hydrated and get the protein down. My hair keeps getting thinner and thinner. Luckily I had a lot. I just want to be normal... lol

Passing by to say Hello!! I hadn't been in here in a while. Hope you are doing great! Miss you all!

Rainbow! Thanks for all your support and calming my nerves. Dr Zapata rocks! I have been blown away by him and the anesthesiologist! Monterrey is absolutely beautiful and the hospital gorgeous. No wonder it costs more than TJ worth every penny. Feeling too good, just a little sore. Thanks again!

Hi Rainbow, I had my surgery on January 31, 2013. I have been so weak and can only get about 20 ounces of water down per day. I am eating between 30 to 40 grams of protein and about 500 to 600 calories per day. My main concern is that everything that I try to eat, seems to upset my stomach. Did eating bother you in the beginning? I seem to be losing really slow. I'm wondering if it is because I am eating some carbs???

Stunning!

Thanks! I'm so glad you stopped by to say hello!! I've been thinking about you and wondering how you're doing. I've reached a point in my weight loss that it has slowed down and honestly I really don't want to be "dieting" anymore. I want to be normal and not have to measure and count everything I put in my mouth even though I still have 22 pounds to go. It is a big change from where I've been to where I am now and I'm certainly proud of what I've accomplished!

Hello Rainbow! So good to hear from you! I haven't been on here, but get in once in a while. I just put some new pics from over the holidays and my brother's wedding. Thank you for your support!

hi i read a post of yours (2 years ago) about getting below weight since gs. i see a dietician and she knows my weight i dont. i am in size 4s too and am soooo scared about gaining and also think about how to lose more. my dietician keeps me in line though. just wanted to hear how you are doing and if you are still struggling to keep a healthy weight. thanks

Just wanted to drop by and tell you that I'm thinking about you during these holidays! I hope you are well!!

Rainbow, I have a question. How long did it take you to lose all of the weight you wanted to and get to goal. I am losing so very slowly, and am concerned that the weight loss will stop before I get to goal. I lost After the surgery on 10/23, I went from 261-241 pretty quickly, but now I am almost 3 months out and I have only lost 8# in the last 30 days. That is under what the doc told me to expect as an average weight loss per month. It isn't so bad if the weight loss will continue, but I am so afraid that it will stop before I get to goal.
I am eating 65 grms (+) of protein a day, staying under 1100 calories, and exercising 5 times per week with 45 minutes of brisk walking then weight machines for another 30 minutes. I am 5'10" and large framed. How could I NOT lose weight at that rate.
(The doc said that he felt that I had damaged my metabolism with HCG shots 18 months ago. Maybe that is why the weight loss is so slow?)
I look at you as the "VGS Goddess", and the expert with all of the answers. I hope you can offer me some hope. : )

I love that picture of you in the white! You look so pretty!!

Hello Rainbow, I started my pre-op diet 3 days ago. First day went better than expected. 2nd day I suffered an all day long headache. I threw up after my lunch protein shake and supper too. Today is a little better but I haven't eaten anything yet. Do you have any insight?
Thanks
