Baby Steps........

First, I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the positive comments I received from my first post. Secondly, I've realized that I'm not the only one who has faced struggles. I've also learned that I need to take baby steps, this is a slow process, but the end result is what I hunger for. I can't push myself any faster than my body will go. I've got to have faith in my doctor's thought process when it comes to the diet, slow and steady does win the race. I found out the hard way the other day what happens if you rush things, I was so excited to eat scrambled eggs, that I ate too quickly and the end result was me getting sick!! Getting sick is something I hate, so lesson learned. I'm still getting used to drinking water in small sips instead of giant gulps but I've had no trouble with drinking the correct amount of protein drinks. Looking forward to my first follow up appt. with my doctor and as for weight, I'm down to 286.4 today from 298 (typo in the first post) on 2/15/12 which was the first day out of the hospital, I had my surgery on 2/13/12. So for being post surgery by 11 days, I can finally say I'm happy, I'm happy to be baby stepping towards my goal!! Thanks again

Dear TJ,

Thanks for posting. We all love to hear about each others experience. Sounds like you are doing great. And you are correct, slow and steady is the approach you want to take.

I remember when I was first sleeved, I was in such a hurry to lose all my weight. I weighed myself several times a day. Almost made myself crazy! Finally got my head screwed on correctly and realized that it was a life long journey, not one that was going to end when (IF) I ever hit my goal weight. A hard lesson for me to learn, and I am still struggeling to get to goal, but have lost 100 pounds since my surgery last June.

Keep it up, and you will do great, and be amazed by your progress. Keep posting so we know how you are doing! Best of luck!
