September Was Your Progress?

[BigChrisATX 19]

Surgery Date: 9/17/12, weight before surgery: 430 lbs, weight as of 10/9/13, 256 lbs. 174 lbs GONE!!! I will say this, and it does make me nervous. I do have to eat A LOT more calories than is recommended for a man a year out from VSG surgery. Currently I eat about 1800-2000 cals a day made up of 5 small meals a day. I also work out 4-5 times a week and burn 400-600 cals each time I work out. If I don't at least eat 1800 cals a day I am 1. Hungry, and 2. stall with weight loss. The weight loss has slowed to about 1 lbs a week now. I still can only eat limited amount of food at each meal, but I'm worried that because I eat so many calories that I could gain weight back (not to mention fall into old habits). Have any of you had these experiences as well?

But haven't weighed in almost a week. I'm trying not to weigh myself too much to avoid discouragement!

A year and a month out and I'm down to 156. Haven't been here in a while. Thought I'd post a new picture.

I'am glad to here that everyone is doing great. I weighed per op 266, I ate anything I wanted and as much as I wanted so I could get it out of my system. I started my liquid diet at the end of May and had my surgery on July 29,13 starting weight was 242. I'am down to 199 as of Dec 18,13. I had no problems thru my surgery and recovery. Had it done on Monday morning and out on Wed., morning. I didn't have and vomiting until I started eating real food, high fat ground meat, steak, pork chops, scrambled eggs, and bread. So far I haven't had a stall I guess I've been lucky,and my Dr., doesn't want me weghing except at his office so that I wont get discouraged if I don't lose anything. I don't even own a scale to weigh on. I'm wearing a 18 jeans, and a large tops where I was wearing 3 x's and w 24-26's. Happy New Years here's hoping for all of us a healthier year .
