Oh well- I'm still very happy about my weightloss

I was 326 when I started pre-op diet. I weighed 305 on surgery day ( 11/28 ). I weighed in today at 282. I've lost 23 pounds since surgery and a total of 44 pounds since I started this journey. Congrats to everyone. We will all be big losers soon.

hi I had my sleeve done Nov. 7th. Doing well been able to eat 1 oz of meat & 1/4 cup of fruit or veggies per meal. Have lost 54 lbs so far. My NUT told me to make sure I drank 2 premier shakes a day to reach Protein goals. So far it's working out well. Most days I get in all the fluids ...... that seems to be the thing I have to focus on the Most. If I don' t drink all the fluids my lower plumbing does' t work. And then I am so uncomfortable. Drinking all the fluids makes a HUGE difference.

I started this journey back in sept 2011 and weighed in at 336 I had to loose 21 before surgery for insurance purposes. After all loosing the weight and going through the two week pre op diet I weighed in at 213 DOS Nov 1st 2012.

The first week I lost 14 then had a 0 week after that boy that was frustrating. Now almost two months out I am at 282. Down 29 from surgery and 52 overall. Very happy about that but frustrated this past week or so since I have stalled again.

Is it still taking everybody over 30 minutes to eat meals? Even when I chew food so well, and pause between bites, it will only take 15-20 minutes. Wondering if I should just stop between bites for a few minutes

Very good question. I find it difficult for the first few bites but then I seem to be picking up speed and sizes of bites too. I don't necessarily eat more just faster, even when I tell myself to slow down. It takes me about 15-20 min too.

[tallysfunny 363]

Me too. It takes time but I get it done pretty quick. I'm still eating small amounts and get full easy. But I think the quantity is more what I am concerned with.

[Boston George 84]

Good!! Thought it was only me! It's only 2-3 ounces of food, but I wanted to make sure I was the weird one

George it's only taking maybe 15 minutes for me too.

I am about the same ad well. Veggies seem to fill me up more than the protein.

I made galumpkis last night and the cabbage is going down well surprising enough. I can only eat half at a time but that's ok too. Lol. I also used grated zucchini and crook neck squash instead of rice. Came out better than the old rice version.

I usually eat in about 20-25 min. I had the flu for 7 days in mid December, and I'm sure that it slowed my weight loss. My goal was to be at 199 by Christmas and I didn't make it . I'm happy with my weight loss so far!
