*Lexie* 1,486 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Checking to see if anyone from September is still here and how you are doing. How's your weight loss at this stage? I had my 3 month appt today (my actual 3 months is Christmas Eve). Everything went well. Doctor is happy with my weight loss and said their expectation is 4-6 pounds a month. It was nice to find out what they think is good. I have been averaging 2-3 pounds per week and I'm happy that it's been steady. I throw up a few times per week. Just when I think I can tolerate something, everything changes. I had salmon on Saturday with no issues and had leftovers that I took to work today. Today the 2 oz of salmon made me sick. I still haven't figured everything out. Right now I can tolerate around 2-3 oz. I feel like I have the same restriction that I had when I first started regular food. Things I can't eat: bread Pasta fried foods pizza without the crust salmon Yeah, I know I shouldn't be eating most of those things to begin with. That's why it's good news that I get a negative reinforcement when I tried them. Things I can eat: chocolate - darn it! lettuce celery My doctor said that the honeymoon phase is the first year. I've read that it's the first 6 months. Anyone want to weigh in on this? Of course I'd be happy if it is a year. Edited December 16, 2014 by *Lexie* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course I'd be happy if it is a year. i can eat all the foods you can't lol I've lost 50 pounds this is my 3 month anniversary .. I'm kind of upset because I actually gained last week about 4 pounds but everyone I spoke to that had the surgery says that's normal because I'm eating more Protein... I couldn't eat anything when I first came home from the hospital or drink anything so now that I'm adding small amounts it seems like my body is holding on tight... my surgery was September 23rd and thus far as of this morning I had lost 50 pounds... a week ago I had lost 54 so I'll take it but I'm going to have to work harder... it looks like my body is trying to save everything that goes in my mouth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
