Themachine28 12 Posted April 19, 2014 It was 3 months on Thursday since my surgery. I am now down 78 lbs! Everyone is different, but I have had no stalls or setbacks. I don't follow all the rules. Yes, I've had alcohol, yes, I drink carbonated drinks, yes, I drink caffiene daily. I'm not saying tjis is the right way to do it, this is just the way I've done it. Yes, I drink with my meals. It's real simple, I just can't eat or drink as much of anything as I used to. I walk a couple miles a couple days a week, but other than that, I just try to live as normal as possible 3 marmello, 1Day1Life4Now and hopeful2 be slim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted April 19, 2014 Cheers! Whatever works. I agree our bodies are different and so long as we get there we can do separate paths. Proud for you! My husband is down 65 lbs since surgery in December. 1 1Day1Life4Now reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted April 19, 2014 Everyone that makes this choice to lose weight and become healthier is already a winner. The good thing it's not really a race, it's a life style and we are only in competition with ourselves. I applaud those that lose quickly as well as those who lose slowly... we're all losing. I do get jealous that men lose faster but it all has to do with muscle mass and how differently our bodies are made. I've not been 100 per cent compliant but I don't drink with meals, I don't use a straw and I don't drink caffeine or carbonated beverages. I have indulged in a little bread and Pasta but for the most part... it's Protein and veggies. I have a whole new set of normals now. 1 hopeful2 be slim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
