Weighed in at 4 1/2 months lost 63 pounds so far. Very excited to keep on losing. Question though is I find myself hungry a lot. What and if you did , was your tool for this ? I snack in between with protein but need to change up. Eating almost 1/2 cup each meal. Some days I can some days it's tough.

Hi ladies I am at 4 months post surgery. I would love to answer or help you with any questions. I weighed in 2 weeks before at 298. I did the 2 week liquid diet lost 14 pounds pre op and had my BMI under 50 %. I was nervous that it would not work or something would go wrong etc. I was nervous for nothing. I can tell you all the journey ahead is one you will never regret. I am down 60 pounds and have not exercised. Not saying this is ideal but until I could get enough energy it was not in me to do. On top of the weight loss when my surgeon was operating he found a Gist Tumor on the outside of my stomach removed it had a biopsy done and it was Stage 1 cancer. By the grace of god if I had not ventured on my path of weight loss it would have never been found until it was at a large mass state. These Tumors you cannot detect because they are on the outside. My journeys ups and downs are the clothes is falling off. I can cross my legs. I have so much energy. The downs are literally my eyes are bigger than my stomach so my urge to eat a full plate is real, but you can't 1/4 cup serving sizes is no joke. So I get the Premier Protein shakes sold at Sam's Club they have 30 grams of protein so I drink 2 some days 1, but as long as I meet the 60 grams of protein I am good. These holidays were killer on my sugar. So back tract again. You will find it hard to get your water in but the protein shakes and any liquid will contribute to at least 32 - 48 oz. I would also suggest you take a daily Omezeprol acid pill. I get mine at SAMs also. My heartburn was really bad. So asked my doctor and he said it is ok. Eating beef is a little tough for some reason it does not digest well. They say no steak for 6 months but even hamburger is rough. Just blend or shred everything. I am wishing you ladies a safe and successful journey.
