Just Got My Head 'right' 13 Months Post-Op

[1970MaleJaxFL 7]

Most guys my age, height and weight would have lost more than the 5 lbs per month I've lost since bring banded. It took me 3 monyhs to lose the last 10. But I finally got my head right recently. Now I'm adjusted to the ordering of a side item for my entree or seeing two hard boiled eggs constitute a complete and filling meal.

It's weird when you reach that point where you no longer think like a fat person or think of yourself as somebody who should act like a fat person. Now I really feel like a skinny guy with only a couple to three months of time as the only thing between me and the final 50-60 lbs. Anybody else see this change finally happen like a switch was flipped?

Hello! I start my pre-op diet on Tuesday and as I sit here cleaning out the fridge & shelves of bad food, I'm trying to focus on what will be...Thanks for sharing! I used to live in FL & can't wait to move back as the "new" me, go watch a sunset for me! ~Maria

Yep, I've had the "switch" flipped a couple times for me. The first time I lost like 50lbs in 6 months. And then it just happened again after having a stressful past 6 months at work (I gained back 10lbs). But I've lost 11 so far and I will continue on to losing!

I'm actually eating too little right now and need to start consuming more foods. My mom, fiance, and a friend are all fussing at me about my diet the past week. I'm really only getting around 500 calories a day right now, which definitely isn't enough.
