Change already.....weight and life

[learningintuition 5]

So I'm about 20 lbs down already. My life has changed. No more puffy bloatedness when i wake up in the morning. No more sore feet in the morning when I wake up and try to walk. No more adjusting my belt and pulling my restrictive undergarment over my stomach roll.

Today I ate at a restaurant and had my first peice of toast, eggs and grits. I HAD to drink Water the whole time, helped it go down. So I'm learning. I'm very thankful.

It's a good feeling when you realize you body is working better. I remember on weight watchers they would say losing 20% would give you a lot of health benefits. Learningintuition, I'm almost 4 months out and i feel sick if I even take a sip of Water with my food. I was told we could not drink and eat at the same time. I guess all doctors are different. Anyways your doing great wiith your weight loss: )

yeah, it does feel different, even that 20 lbs. (which is a lot too), yeah the doc said the same thing but I do better with drink. I am soooo thirsty and have eaten and drank with food my whole life. all other food without feels so dry.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU!!

And, ain't life grand? I am nearing my 3-month surgiversary, and have lost 30 pounds so far. I am extremely happy about this, and down two sizes in clothes.. woooHooo!!!

I see that there are many here who have dropped much more weight in 3 months, but I am quite happy.. I could never even lose 5 pounds and keep it off before, and this is for LIFE, for REAL.

The other thing I love about my sleeve is that losing weight is quite painless... it is almost impossible to overeat, and my tastes have really changed for the better.

Now I am working on learning to eat CLEAN, eat healthy and eat the right mix of nutrients. What a wonderful new life!!!!

I am so grateful that I found this web site, I never would have had the courage to go through with this surgery, or the knowledge to navigate the insurance foibles all alone.
