You get out of it what you put into it!
ypu don't do the work you don't get the rewards. Don't blame the surgery. You don't make the effort you WILL be over 200 lbs

Protein should be the biggest part of each meal for good weight loss. Meat,seafood,beans and dairy should be your friends. White bread,rice,pasta and anything with added sugar is your enemy if you want to have success. Exercise can be as simple as taking a short walk on your lunch break or parking far out in the parking lot or taking the stairs. Your success is all up to you and your choices. There is nothing about this that is easy,but set your mind to it and you can do it. And we are here for advice and encouragement!

I went through this. I didn't lose anything for about 6 weeks. I too sit at a desk all day and i have bad knees, so wasn't moving around alot. I went back and examined everything I was eating. Made sure I was getting in all my protein and water. I was really slacking on the water. I cut out all white...bread, potatoes, rice...etc. Started watching my carbs more closer. I lost 6 lbs in two months. Then I got sick and dropped 23 lbs. in two weeks. It wasn't fun being sick but it got me over the hump in addition to watching my water and what I was eating. I dropped another 10 lbs this week. I was actually able to walk at a park yesterday...YEA! I have a ellipitical peddler (from Amazon) that I have under my desk. Two or three times a day I try to use the peddler so I am not so stiff from sitting all day. I also have some hand weights that I use when I sit down to watch TV. Good Luck on your journey!!!!
You can do this! Are you having trouble getting your protein in.....they kept telling me to up my protein when I was not losing. I had the DS and was told I needed 120 grams of protein a day. I am using Genepro to get all of mine in. I mix it with Crystal Light Lemonade and keep a big glass of it at my desk and sip on it all day. (I stop at a convenient store every morning and fill up my Bubba Mug with ice...it keeps ice all day). I post everything in My Fitness Pal....I check at night and If I have not hit my protein.....I fix me another Lemonade with Genepro before I go to bed. I use Lemonade because all the others are too sweet for me.
