Wow, 2 weeks out and I'm 23% the way to goal!?!

[FishingNurse 1,210]

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my excitment. I was sleeved exactly 2 weeks ago and I have lost 21lbs! That's 23% of my weight loss goal in 2 weeks. It would take me 6 months to accomplish that before, and I would gain it back each and everytime.

I have been back to work since last Monday. I am finally getting all my Protein in everyday. It finally clicked that I can't waste the room in my stomach for non-high Protein things YET. (like cream of wheat, creamy Soups etc. )

I have been drinking 3 glasses of 1% milk a day spiked with a 3rd of a chocolate Protein Drink (that has 20g of protien!) every day. It tastes like wonderful chocolate milk. I drink that between "meals" for the meals I have 2-3 tablespoons of mooshy egg salad, tuna salad, a baby bell cheese or ground turkey with a little marinara on top. I feel satisfied and I am getting my energy back! My cals are about 800-900 a day. I also sip on Water whenever possible. I don't consume any toxic sugar free or fat free crap. I do light miracle whip for the egg salad and tuna salad.

Everyone is commenting on how I am looking and good and they can see the weight loss and it is so much fun. I really am feeling so happy and motivated!

Yay!

:lol: VERY VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!! and a little jealous. I was sleeved the same time as you and I've only lost a few pounds. Been stalled for over a week. So whatever you're doing... keep it up! :D

Nurselisa, that sounds fantastic. I love egg salad and tuna salad. Will keep that in mind to try when I get my sleeve, hopefully next month.

Oh! Those are some good mushy/soft ideas!! Thanks for the tips! I'm with you on the fat free/sugar free crap. Was just having this conversation last night. Guess there will just be some things I must live without! Congrats on the loss! We are at about the same place! Off to go shopping for marinara.... Thanks again!
