Four Month Anniversary!

Well, tomorrow I will have officially been sleeved for four months. I am now down 56 pounds which is awesome because it normally takes me a year to lose that much weight. In my third month I went through a plateau but this month I lost about seven pounds in one week. I really love working out. I have discovered the elliptical machine at the gym and now we are great friends. I would say besties but that title is for the lap pool alone. I love swimming. The thing I am struggling right now with is chocolate. It seems the only thing that doesn't upset my tummy and it tastes super awesome but I just have no control over it so I am giving it up. I don't know if anyone else has this, but in the morning for breakfast I can barely eat a couple bites without getting full. Later on in the day I can eat more but breakfast I feel like I could eat a horse but I can't even finish a cup of 5.3oz yogurt. I am lucky vomiting hasn't been an issue for me at all, however, when I have eaten really fatty meats I have diarrhea about 20 mins after eating so be careful out there. I have had to buy new clothes because everything was too big. I wear a size 22/24 shirt now and I can't ever remember buying that size for myself. My jeans are a size 22 and dress slacks are a 24. It's nice but expensive.

It sounds like you're doing great! I only hope my journey is as successful as yours. My surgery is 12-31. Wish me luck!

I think we're sleeve sisters, I love the elliptical and the lap pool. I jog around the laps in the pool when there is no one else there. I find it very hard to eat more than a couple of bites in the morning but by the evening I can usually handle more food. Unlike you, I've had some issues with vomiting although that is getting more rare now too - maybe I'm learning finally! Thanks for sharing, it's nice to know we're all in this together.
