lsheshequin 83 Posted October 13, 2015 So on Sunday I hit 5 mths post-op. Overall, it's going ok. I'm down 71 lbs total, 60 from my surgery date. Some days I can really feel the difference, other days not so much. I've always been a bit of a shopaholic - that has definitely been more fun lately. Although, after having shopped in the plus sizes for so long I'm still trying to find my way around "stylistically." I constantly worry about overeating and stretching my pouch. Some days I really have to be mindful and not allow myself to eat over 1 cup of food, and feeling like I could eat more. Other days, a 1/2 cup of whatever and I'm stuffed. Kinda weird. I wish that would stabilize a bit. I've been taking pics on the 11th of each month as a visual gauge for myself. This is something that I really need do to keep myself on track I think. While I see some difference, I would be lying if I said I didn't wish it was more noticeable. The first pic on the left is me at my HW of 250 lbs, the middle pic is 3 mths out at about 195 lbs, and the one on the right is last night at my current weight of 179 lbs. I apologize for posting pics so often, lol. Wishing everyone a great journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted October 13, 2015 At your stage, if you have chosen to consume high Protein meals, your meal volume is sufficient for you to start cutting back on some of your Protein supplements (Protein shakes, protein bars). That will reduce your daily caloric intake and squeeze out a little more weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
