My 4 Week Appointment

[StevieSmithtown 12]

I was 330 the last time I saw surgeon before my surgery. Today (4 weeks to the day) I was 289. I was very happy. Dopey me was so freaking happy with the amount I lost I forgot to ask the doctor what I could start eating. How stupid am I!!! What do we get to eat after a month of mushies?? I'd like a nice steak and some roasted potatoes and some beer. Oh and dessert too!

Wow. that is a fantastic loss! I lost about 25 pounds in four weeks. I am about 7 weeks out now, losing slowly (30 pounds), but I am ok with that. My exercise has been hindered by a very sore ankle and I am older (60) and my BMI was barely enough to qualify for the sleeve (40). I am eating most anything, except meat. I still have problems with meat. I also found that if I let myself get hungry, it is really, really hard to eat slow enough and in small enough bites....I will end up eating too fast and will get sick. I am fine with it all....everything will happen in due course! Just take it slow and introduce one new food at a time. And, when you are ready to try meat, be sure to eat very, very tender meat, in very small bites (size of a pencil eraser) and chew 20 times! Keep up the great work! AmarieH
