There is definitely a lot more pounds to come off to lose clothing sizes in a higher weight range, I’m in the same boat as you are you. It is hard sometimes to intentionally exercise, especially if you started at a higher weight. Sometimes just going through a day was exhausting. Have you tried easing into it by just doing some active things in your normal life on your days off when you aren’t so tired from work? I’ve been trying to do things like yard work, washing my car, etc. Physical things that are not exercise per se but will burn more calories than me sitting on my sofa! I know I need to work harder on my exercise too but any activity is better than just laying about.

Honey, we lose as fast as we're gonna lose. ((hugs)) But let's do the math. You've lost 40lbs in about 10 weeks. That is 4lbs per week which is WELL above the average of 3lbs/week. Congrats! You're a quick loser!!! Now stop comparing yourself to others! Cuz you're doing great Mamacita!!

You are down over 50lbs and almost 16% body weight in less than 3 mo. That’s awesome! Also, I heard once that typically you go down a size every time you lose 10% of your weight. Keep up the great work! I get sleeves on March 12 and am anxiously counting down the days [emoji51]

I measure everything, but when I’m very close to full I get a pain in my left shoulder and/or hiccup. I stop immediately when that happens, if I have a mouthful of food I spit it out. The difference between satisfied and painful for me can be a single bite. Afterwards I have a classic ‘full’ type of feeling.

Im having the same problem. Anything sweet makes me gassy and nauseous. Im sticking to water, broth , and im adding decaf instant coffee to my shake to add a little bitterness.

So, I am still at 287 Began preopdiet diet for two weeks at weight 344. Lost down to 321 day of surgery and since that 321, I have lost 34 pounds (12 weeks since surgery) so I am a tad behind, if you go by the 3 pounds per week ratio. There are so many systems out there to determine where we should be. Percentages arent my thing. Can someone do it for me Am I behind? Oh, I know, quit worrying right? Just enjoy the journey. It's not a marathon right? I know . Arg But for a fat girl, don't I look cute? lol Vogue!

I get full but not like before surgery. If I over eat something my nose runs and depending on what it is I salivate more and sometimes hiccup. I am about 15 months post op and can eat about 4 oz of meat...its weird though because one day I can only eat about half of hamburger and other days i can almost finish it. I am also one of the few that doesnt get pain when I drink carbonated drinks...such as ICE brand flavored water and once in while i have some coke or ginger ale Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I have tried many of the artificial sweeteners and had no problem. But stay away from Haribo sugar free gummy bears. Eating too many of these can cause instant diarrhea. They contain lycasin. [Lycasin is a maltitol syrup with properties of taste and sweetness ideal for the preparation of sugar-free syrups, lozenges or jellies, according to manufacturer Roquette.com. Little known to most gummy bear connoisseurs, however, the side effects of Lycasin are gas, bloating and diarrhea.] http://universe.byu.edu/2013/09/24/sugar-free-haribo-gummy-bears-have-a-gas-tly-effect1/

It’s not the same feeling for me as before. It feels as if the food has filled up my esophagus and if I have one more bite it’s gonna hurt. I also weighed everything until I was good enough to judge it by eye. That way I would know I was eating enough but wouldn’t overeat.

I owe you thanks I drink broth 3-4 times a day but apparently the wrong kind lol I was only getting in 1-2 grams of protein in per serving so I switched it up and bought the bone broth and now ill get 30-40 grams of protein in a day so thank you so much!!!! now I don't really have to worry as much
