44 Pounds Lost! :)

[JordannChristina 32]

Hello everyone! Hope all of you are well

Weighed myself and I am officially 44 pounds lighter at 6 weeks post op. I can pretty much tolerate anything and my stomach is one hell of a trooper! I've been mostly eating the healthiest options I can with what I have. I have whole wheat stuff every now and then but it's so filling I can't even finish one slice with the crusts cut off! Rice is just so filling, I don't find it worth eating and I don't miss it. I usually have chicken and fish. No meat or pork just yet, and I only miss steak. I noticed that chips are TOO easy to eat so I try and stay away from those. I hate to say that I did have chicken nuggets once and my body just does not like junk food anymore. I feel weaker after I eat bad things and I can feel my heart working a bit harder, so it's not worth it anymore. It also makes me feel tired. I sometimes have ice coffee with skim milk and sugar subs. I love nuts and sunflower seeds but ill have to cool down with those since they're high in calories. Other than a craving or two here and there, it's been great! A struggle the first three weeks but I'm feeling so good. Energy is up! And my old jeans fit again!

Best thing is that I can finally start working out this week!! Can't wait for those results

Yay congrats! That's amazing! This was so good for me to read right now lol, I'm having surgery tomorrow and I've been starting to freak out a bit over being able to eat normal things ever again but this was great to read! Hope I have similar results

We sound the same. Also 6 weeks out today and lost 43 lbs as of yesterday. I can tolerate everything. I don't eat it all but haven't had an issue. Do you find you have to eat a bit more in order to lose?

Keep up the great work
