Six and a half weeks out

So I am almost seven weeks out, wow that seems so unreal to me it has gone by so fast. I think I may have hit my first stall but really I can not complain 25lbs in six weeks is just crazy! And yet I still struggle with myself. A part of me refuses to believe that this will work. I keep waiting for the disappointment shoe to drop, again. I know I am probably getting in 1/4 of the calories then I was before surgery by the numbers alone my body can not do anything but lose and still I doubt. I won't even allow myself to go clothes shopping because I haven't lost enough. I do love my sleeve so far it has exceeded my expectations. I can pretty much eat what I want but my wants have changed. Sweets don't seem to taste as good as they did. Before surgery I had minor issues with greasy fried foods but would eat them anyway but now it just doesn't even sound or look good to me. I still have issues with fighting the urge to clean my plate. And lef-overs! If I had left overs more then a half dozen times in a year pre-op I'd be surprised, now I have leftovers with every meal. Needless to say I end up throwing away a lot of food. So this is where I am at.

I am right there with ya. I am also seven weeks out. I really hate to go out to eat. I waste so much food . I am learning to either get side orders of things, and they are still to much. I , like you still haven't purchased new clothes. I have bought one pair of jeans. I was getting to where I thought if I breathed in I would lose my pants.blink.gifEating at this point seems over rated. I have to remind myself to eat. I am still trying one new food a day , to see how I like it. I haven't been brave enough to try a Hamburger or anything like that. I try to stay with white meat and Fish. Be happy for yourself, after all We deserve it. I know I am always looking out for everyone else. I have to remind myself that It is ok to be a little selfish, and be glad that I am making an effort to be healthy and Happy. Sometimes, I have a hard time when people tell me I look good. It feels weird to me. Hang in there my friend, there is only better things to come. It is really exciting in many ways. Best of luck and Health to you.rolleyes.gif

Thanks and good luck and health to you too. It's weird but I can tell some parts of me are smaller that sounds so silly but its true.

My tastes have changed like that too, I almost never want fried foods anymore. The only ones I can handle are fried foods that are not breaded, like fries... and I only have a few. I really identified with what you said... 'waiting for the shoe of disappointment to drop'... I'm in a stall right now, and even though I know stalls are normal, I'm so afraid that this is the point where it all goes away and I gain all my weight back. I know with my MIND that it's not possible because I eat so little and exercise so much. Yet I am still afraid.

hi, I am 7 weeks out tomorrow. I am in a stall too and keep telling myself well this it; your not gonna loose anymore....uugghhh I hate that. I do not crave sweets anymore because they make me ssoo sick, I can't eat fried foods anymore but I stil want to. They make me really sick too. I am kinda down today not feeling so great about anything really. This is the first time since my surgery seven weeks ago that I just feel kinda depressed about everything. It is weird, nothing specific just kinda generalized depression and short tempered. Oh well this to shall pass right!! Hope all goes well for you keep your chin up!!
